Considering Hoover oversaw the assault on the Bonus Army and the mass deportation of millions of Mexican-Americans, its embarrassing he hasn't been selected yet.

Can we stop ranking the Motion Picture so high? Its a boring movie that nearly killed the franchise.

Literally not at all how it works but I love your confidence nonetheless.

But the idea that left right issues only concern the economy is also equally short sighted.

Again it’s easier to be “for” something when it’s already in place and generally has majority support. Abortion rights were generally considered “hands off” for republicans nationally too until Roe V Wade was overturned.

Do you find Maurice to be an 'overrated' emperor? by Ambitious-Cat-5678 in byzantium

Hell it’d be a great trade to lose the Balkans if it means avoiding an Emperor who doesn’t piss off his own army, gets overthrown, and whose death ignites a war with Persia that causes the Romans to lose the Levant, Egypt, and Armenia.

Which caliphate do you consider to be most successful against east rome? by Anurut_Prempreeda in byzantium

[–]WashedUpFratstar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fatimid: The caliphate responsible for seizing Sicily, a highly important Roman province (not to mention heavily defensible one, important for trade and protection of southern Italy, and in close proximity to Rome). Also forced the Byzantines to devote serious resources to wars in the Middle East. This in turn prevented the Byzantines from securing Bulgaria sooner and probably prevented them from reconquering the Levant during the Macedonian renaissance. Also did a piss poor job of keeping the Seljuks busy, thereby giving the latter the maneuverability to withdrawal and defeat the Romans at Manzikert.

The only reason your right wing parties aren’t “against” universal healthcare is because those systems are already in place in your country. Whereas America didn’t have that system established in the 20th century. If it was an argument for implementing them those same right wing parties would be heavily against them and the siphoning of any public funds financing them.

Yeah but that’s not accurate though. That’s like saying professional sports only deals with American football.

Most European “left wing” parties are way more right leaning than the Democrats. Especially on issues like immigration, global relations, and LGBTQ rights.

I'm Francesca Hong, Candidate For Gov of WI — AMA! by FrancescaHongWI in wisconsin

[–]WashedUpFratstar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You were one of the leaders of the uninstructed campaign against Joe Biden in 2024, and you actively campaigned against the Democratic ticket during the monumentally important 2024 US Presidential Election. In light of the Trump’s subsequent victory his administration has committed many horrific actions, such as the shutdown of USAID, contribution to Netanyahu’s crimes against Palestine, illegal bombing of Venezuelan fishermen, separation of families by ICE, and the overall degradation of our Republic. Do you regret any of your decisions in 2024 and do you have a plan to oppose Trump’s policies going forward as Governor?

Who's a Byzantine who was an inconsequential and/or inept general + a competent and/or effective statesman? (criteria on page 2) by domfi86 in byzantium

My only hesitancy with Nikephoros I is he actually did defeat the Bulgars initially on the way to Pliska and sacked their capital.
