People vote for all kinds of retarded reasons
Because their grandpappy always voted a certain way, because their preacher told them to vote a certain way, because their region votes a certain way, because someone running has the same ethnic composition as them, etc.
A remote minority of people are actually informed on more than a handful of issues, and the reason they care about those issues at all is because they were instructed to via their upbringing or environment
Giving this wide mass of people a vote on government officials is called democracy. You can church it up however you want, but that’s what it is and it’s what it’s always been for 3000 years

What’s the general consensus in these 12 pages? Many think he was working with Israel so redactions should be included if that’s the case. Protecting criminals, not so much.

Yeah, but you can't describe when one begins and the other ends.
Its a fruitless conversation and a baseless criticism.
Instead, pick a policy and state why you hate it or love it.

There's no way Bondi is the final say on this.
She probably is taking one for the team, but that's SOP in politics at this level and she knows that.
We didn't fricking vote for that

What are you even saying? How does individualism operate the government? How do you elect your individualism?

Youre old enough to know this.
So Democrats, in your opion, stayed home or voted for and were happy to have Trump, who stands against them on nearly every policy, just becasue they didn't "know" Kamala? Right?

Except populist. Youre starting to get it. Kudos.
Populists vote for Demagogues who promise free shite.

Sure I can.
Populism is a strategy, period.
Its under the Democratic umbrella but its not democracy.
There is no beginning or end, one is a component of the other. Yet, are two separate things.

They have to redact Trumps name.

THAT IS DEMOCRACY
There is zero distinction in this. You can have a monarchy, an oligarchy, or a democracy. And democracy functions exclusively via demagogues promising shite for their support.

Sure.
So are hundreds of other umbrella strategies.
Once you understand that Populism is nothing more than an election strategy you will get it.

Then she will soon be fired by her boss, correct?

You might be on to something in terms of individual contentment.
My initial reaction to this news was "Well, at least she is admitting that Epstein was/is working for Intelligence."

You haven't responded to my previous post. Probably because it shows the absurdity of your statements.

You seriously don’t think I understand this?
I don’t believe in democracy at all for this country anymore and think our current iteration is irreparably corrupted. I just think it’s outrageous you want to make a distinction of populism being the problem when it is a meaningless amplifier term that is no different than the general right to vote of the people.
Either advocate for the right to vote to be stripped from the public, or stop bitching about populism. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Probably the same stupid shite youve b een posting. I'll look it up for laughs in a sec.
Democracy is a system of govt. It does not pertain to ideology or ideas.
Populism is an election strategy or political doctrine. Its not a system.
Yall need 9th grade civics class again.

I think these 12 pages is a twig in the social media awakening tree that is happening online.
There are generally three groups that are forming a normal distribution curve:
1. On the left tail of the normal distribution curve you have the Israel firsters who want full censorship about anything Israel and conflate ethnic Jews with the Israeli government.
2. In the middle of the normal distribution curve you have an awakening of people looking to their left and right who are being more nuanced and saying, "hey all those bad actions my Israel intelligence should not be blamed on ethnic Jews". Israeli government should be held accountable as any other U.S. ally.
3. On the right side of the normal distribution curve you have the proud antisemites and they too conflate Israel government with ethnic Jews.
It's an interesting dynamic playing out. You see a lot of big names moving from 1 to 2 right now and are willing to take a more nuanced approach to the issue. Most of our politicians are suck in 1.
