lesser of two evils

This is how I have voted since JFK - I was genuinely wishy-washy on which to choose.

But since then it has been simple - just vote for the least evil = DEMs lose every time

Because, although they suck, I’m anti evil so they’re the only option.

You'd be disqualified for asking this question. It is pretty damn clear.


Is it?

Because a bunch of lemmings and smooth brains ran around saying "trust the science!!" and calling other people "science deniers" for asking valid questions and later turning out to be absolutely correct in their assumptions during the Covid 19 pandemic.

Remember the "science" of six feet separation? The "science" of cloth masks shielding you from a microscopic virus? The "science" of rioters being perfectly ok while people alone on a beach was a hazard? The "science" of the effectiveness of the MNRA vaccine? The "science" of the viral lab in China being immediately dismissed as the source of Covid 19? The "science" of the Wuhan wet market being the absolute source?

What about the "science" of the global ice caps being melted by now? The "science" of hundreds of wrong climate predictions? The "science" of stronger and more frequent hurricanes hitting the east coast and gulf coast? The "science" of the running out of crude oil by 2010? The "science" of the world running out of essential metal ore by 2000? The "science" of a new ice age? The "science" of arsenic based living organisms? The "science" of unlimited genders?

Believing a cloth masks could filter out viruses is equally as stupid as the "science" of bloodletting was.

The point is a lot of """science"""" is put out there for the lemmings to be controlled any grand ole time it is desired. And those same lemmings will even try to police and denigrate the "science deniers" who fail to fall in line.

I can't help but notice the original poster the question was directed to ran and hid.

Democrats

In all seriousness. I suppose I could list other reasons but if all of those other reasons disappeared this would still be the reason

Masks were mitigation, not a force field. Touch grass; stop watching so much Star Trek.

It was also funny to see science deniers saying they were suffocating with masks on, when O2 molecules are at least 200 times smaller than a virus.


And about climate, your problem is with people's interpretation of models and studies. Again, another reason why you'd be disqualified. What exactly is wrong with the models? Research didn't say there would be an increased frequency of storms, just a larger number of storms becoming Cat 4 and Cat 5. (Check Mexico's coast, for example) This has happened.

You see what the inventor of the internet said and ran with it, instead of looking where you should have. The models.

It's OK; you're a slave to the media like most everyone here. Facts don't fit their agenda; it's fake news. Just like your daddy says.

Oh my god you are actually trying to defend this!

Cloth masks provided absolutely minimal mitigation. Absolutely minimal. How about you "touch grass" and research the size of the virus vs the openings of a cloth mask.

Annnnnnnd you just disproved your own argument of viral mitigation. What is the size of the virus vs the size of the opening of cotton cloth? How much longer does a virus live on moist cloth warmed by breath than sun exposure?

Ahem.....

Just one of many. This took an amazingly short time to find by the way.


What's that reason I'd be "disqualified" again?

The models that also showed there would be zero artic sea ice by 2020? Often repeated by officials?

December 15, 2009 New modelling suggests that the Arctic Ocean could be almost ice-free in the summertime as early as 2014, Al Gore warned delegates Monday at the climate change conference in Copenhagen. The projection, based on computer models showing several years of dramatic losses of polar sea ice, suggest the ice cap could vanish well before 2030, as forecast by the U.S. government eight months ago.

maybe you should go back and see what I have called the media my entire time on this board.

YOUR problem is you are a slave to people who make profits off of "science". It was proven Fauci was profit hunting and addicted to fame from his own correspondence and texts. And it showed him covering up things to save his own skin and to get more money. The entire country collapsed around this dipshit's word and he was profiting from it the whole time. And you STILL have his back.

And don't even get me started on the climate alarmists bank accounts and standard of living. :lol: Al gores heated swimming pool consumes more power than several homes. His private plane drinks more fuel than several cars per year. He travels in SUV convoys. And that a-hole wants to tell me to bicycle to work and live in a hut? :lol:

Theoretically? Because they will cut taxes, spending and regulations and that they are more likely to defend the Constitution.

Notice I said theoretically

I love this country and the principles it was founded on; I don't believe this country is inherently racist and iredeemably white supremacist; I like borders and immigation control; I prefer to be tough on crime and hold criminals--especially violent criminals--accountable and not excuse their behavior or let them walk free because muh "racism;" I want lower taxes; I want less waste, fraud, and abuse; and I want people to work and support themselves rather than have their hands out for tax payer money so they can sit on their assess and be worthless parasites draining society's resources; DEI can frick off; critical race theory can frick off; and I think women are women and men are men and dudes dressing up as women doesn't make them women, and girls should have girls in their lockerooms, bathrooms, and on their sports teams, not biological boys/men; and leftist alphabet people need to leave children alone to let them figure their own journeys out, not groomed into trans ideology and rainbow flag mafia.

The Republican Party opposes transgenerism, abortion, infanticide.

They support low taxes, a strong military, and legislation that helps families.

I took the time, few election cycles ago to visit the websites for both parties and read about their platform. I found that I personally aligned with many things the republican platform stood for. At times, I find that I hate the republican candidate, as a person, and vote for anyone else that is running, but for the most part, I end up choosing the republican candidate.

My dad nearly lost his job as a fireman because the fire department was 100% democrat. When he let it be known that he was supporting Nixon against Kennedy, he was raked over the coals by the fire chief over it. Not long after that he was on a stack of logs at a telephone pole plant on fire and one of the firemen that had cussed out my dad over his support for Nixon was supposed to wait fir a signal before turning on a hose that requiref two men to hold it once the water was turned on. He turned it on anyway and it sent my dad sailing and he broke his back and was in the hospital for a year and a back brace for five years. He had to sue the (democrat run) state to get the disability benefits he deserved as the fire chief played politics with my dad vis-a-vis, my dad's family.

frick every Dem.

I agree they don’t have any policies that make sense so the only thing they have to run on is promising free shite that they know they won’t be able to deliver. know that Libtard’s are to stupid to realize that the free shite that they are promising. Also they bitch about republicans. That’s it

Great answer, and I couldn't have said it better myself.
