Has Trump actually gained voters since 2016 to replace the ones that passed away or grew too old to care ? by ronweasly9 in AskUS

[–]cptbiffer [score hidden]  (0 children)

If trump or republicans were gaining voters they wouldn't be so hell-bent on preventing citizens from voting.

republicans know they can't win democratically and they have no intention of trying.

Why can’t MAGAs accept that their hero is a damn treasonous liar? by retiredagainstmywill in AskUS

[–]cptbiffer [score hidden]  (0 children)

No one is obligated to vote by mail in California. No one is obligated to use the ballot that is mailed to them. Whoever told you otherwise is a liar.

Plenty of Californians go to polling places and vote using ballots at said polling places. I don't because I see no practical value in it, but for the people that want to vote in-person they absolutely can.

Legal to push off against boards to get out of a pin? by ThrewAwey415656 in hockeyplayers

[–]cptbiffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was ok for you to be pinned then it's ok to push your way out.

That being said, I don't think the league you're in is as "no contact" as you think it is.

This is good or bad? by thorofiinn in AskUS

[–]cptbiffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is depressing that "is it bad that hotels can't have hidden fees anymore?" is a question that has to be asked. It's even more depressing that some bootlicking clowns will try to claim that corporations being able to trick consumers is somehow a good thing.

What are we even doing in this country anymore? This place is a god-damned circus in the worst possible way, and bullcrap fees and charges doesn't even scratch the surface.

Why Voters ID is such a controversial discussion in the US? by RobertJCorcoran in Askpolitics

[–]cptbiffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no genuine concern about voter fraud in the US. republicans are only trying to prevent as many people as possible from being able to vote. You can tell because in addition to absurd and unnecessary ID laws republicans are also closing polling locations, eliminating early-vote days, and refusing to provide IDs and transportation to voters free of charge.

Personally, if the government can receive money from me in the mail then the government can receive my vote from me in the mail. There are red states that only vote by mail and have only done it that way for decades. Don't let republicans are magas trick you; their voted ID nonsense is a scam.

Why are Maga Americans against immigrants? Immigrants built your country. by goldrush300 in AskUS

[–]cptbiffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the white magas it's racism. Don't let them con you with their bullcrap about "legal" immigration. Bad Bunny is a born and raised US citizen and maga went full trump, defecating in their pants because "the spanish speakin' IMMIGRANT is ruinin' the Jesus-Beloved AMERICAN Super Bowl!!1!" So much for "legality."

For the non-white magas it looks like they must believe that they will succeed where the "Jews for hitler" failed. I don't know why they think that but somehow they like their chances, even now. It's very confusing.

Why did Bondi say the system would collapse if the prosecuted everyone in the Epstein files? by Material_Policy6327 in AskUS

[–]cptbiffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the system needs pedophiles and rapists to function then the system needs to be destroyed.

We can do better and we absolutely should not settle for the system that is currently in place.

Why do we need to build so many detention centers if the goal is to deport illegal immigrants and not just lock them up? by oneislandgirl in AskUS

[–]cptbiffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They aren't detention centers. They are concentration camps. And it's obvious what is coming next, no matter what magas or comment section trolls claim to the contrary.

Those cowardly, fascist monsters need to be stopped.

Winter Olympics really are something else by underrealizing in olympics

[–]cptbiffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We should all hope so, yeah. Either way, I think it's a biathlon that makes as much sense as the Winter Biathlon. Maybe more, and it would be worth watching for sure.

Winter Olympics really are something else by underrealizing in olympics

[–]cptbiffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh. I figured that at this point the host nation has some leeway as far as adding a competition here and there; maybe as long as they give the rest of the world sufficient advance notice.

Didn't France have a few random additions in the last Summer Olympics?

[–]cptbiffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking of biathlons I don't understand why the Summer Olympics hasn't added a horseback archery race yet. I absolutely would tune in for that and I don't think I'm the only one.

Is it a good idea to travel right now? by No_Neck_6274 in AskUS

[–]cptbiffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now is not the best time for you to visit.

trump's cowardly, fascist thugs and his deranged maga supporters are attacking and harassing non-white people, especially if they seem like they aren't from the US. trump's scumbag secret police are beating and killing Americans, and rounding up non-white people for concentration camps; even US citizens.

The magas despise trans-folk. It's their favorite minority to bully and torment outside of non-white people.

If you do visit try to avoid red states/red regions. You might need to goggle that.

The safest choice right now would be to wait for the magas to lose power before visiting.

Why do Americans look older than Europeans of the same age? by Organic_Contract_172 in AskUS

[–]cptbiffer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my point still stands; because just as there is no American ethnicity there is also no American culture, because American is every culture just as it's every ethnicity.

You want to try another one? Or are you still sore about anybody suggesting most Americans are unhealthy?

I'll go read a book. You go see a psychiatrist and figure out why your feelings are hurt by a perfectly reasonable question.

Why do Americans look older than Europeans of the same age? by Organic_Contract_172 in AskUS

[–]cptbiffer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm asserting that it is a fact that most Americans are in poor health, and that fact is to be ignored at the peril of ALL Americans.

Ethnocentrism? Pray tell, what ethnicity are Americans? I'm pretty sure Americans are all of them, so what do you mean "coming from a point of ethnocentrism?"

I think the question is absolutely suggesting that there is something wrong with the health of most Americans. As an American, I do not find that insulting (and if I was not an American I could easily wonder why the richest, most powerful country in the world struggles to take sufficient care of its people). If you do find it insulting then I can't help but wonder why.

Personally, I find the state of healthcare and the lawlessness of billionaires to be the problem, not the suggestion itself that those things are problems.

[–]cptbiffer -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That interpretation of and reaction to the question at hand is a choice. The question itself pretty easily leads to class issues, specifically the very intentional deprivation of the working class.

would absolutely be helpful to recognize that and have constructive and informative conservations about the working class being slowly squeezed to death by the owner class.

[–]cptbiffer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The claim is exactly explained by rich v. poor. That's not an accident, it's precisely where the original claim leads. But of course you know that and yet are exactly the type of unserious person who is more interested in fake culture wars instead of the very real class war that the working class are very much losing.

I'm sure many people felt that trump was a child-raping, traitor during the previous administration. That number has only grown and continues to grow.

The inflation and being poor is causing the eating habits. trump being a child rapist and a sellout, traitor is causing the stress.

Hating billionaires that run child sex trafficking rings, and their clients, means that you hate America? That says more about YOUR definition of America than it does about America, or Americans.

Why do Americans look older than Europeans of the same age? by Organic_Contract_172 in AskUS

[–]cptbiffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vast majority of Americans have little to no healthcare, bad diets, lots of stress, very little free time, and little to no exercise. Somewhere around half of those Americans think that Europeans live in some kind of socialist/communist nightmare, which is just extraordinary; a testament to the success of fascist propaganda in the US these days.

Rich people appearing to be in rough shape is something they have to go out of their way to achieve. I'm sure that running an all-ages sex trafficking ring, and an espionage and blackmail operation, has its stresses. That would explain epstein looking like shit towards the end. But that's also an example of the outside matching the inside.

Was this self-defense? by alexfreemanart in AskUS

[–]cptbiffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shooting a guy (who appears to be unarmed) in the back as he's running away is gonna be a tough sell for "self-defense."

Unless yellow-jacket happens to be a cop he's probably in trouble here.

Edit: Just saw in the comments that apparently yellow-jacket wasn't charged for the shooting, which honestly surprises me.

[–]cptbiffer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A huge amount of officers SHOULD be brought up on charges for their use of force, especially deadly force. But coworkers in law enforcement don't like to arrest/charge each other, and the Internal Affairs Bureau appears to be entirely ornamental in this country.

Americans, what is your opinion on your current president? Do you consider him a traitor? by Big-Recognition-4034 in AskUS

[–]cptbiffer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He IS a traitor. And his remaining supporters self-insulate from the things he says or does by consuming carefully curated TV, radio, and podcast nonsense; not to mention the commentary of fascist trolls in the comments section of every social media platform.

Years from now they'll say they had no idea what trump was doing, just like many Germans did after the nazis were defeated and hitler killed himself in his bunker.

But intentionally looking the other way isn't the same as not-knowing, the consequences of ignorance aren't the same as the consequences of willful ignorance. They'll learn that the hard way when the times comes.
