That has nothing to do with "Democrats".
That's an Italian grandma.
Everyone knows if you annoy an Italian grandma she gonna go woop your ass sideways and you won't get gnocchi for dinner.
Yes and trump and Elon are stable business geniuses, now you’re on my level.
I think anyone calling for violence and war should be censored and put in prison. Make Americans work together to achieve common goals instead of fighting amongst themselves.

What if the common goal for a chunk of people was something that looked like a 14th century theocracy with unelected land barons and their militias ruling everyone?
I don't quite agree, I've not seen anything from the MAGA's that hate war unless you are talking about Ukraine, and that's more from their siding with Putin in thinking it is okay for Russia to invade. So pro war still and they still get to make lots of money selling arms to Ukraine! The only difference is they are not on the U.S.'s side.
Wars end under democrat presidents, but yeah, they like to make money too. That's one of the reasons I'm neither a democrat or republican these days. (just an independent that does swing more democrat these days given their stated goals. I refused to vote for any republicans this last midterm, though I have probably voted for more republicans in my life than democrats.)
I disagree, there's only one side trying to throw out our government and making us a dictatorship, and it's the right. And it's more than just the MAGA's, it's also the Bush era conservatives, in their support of the MAGA. Especially McConnell and *his* supreme court. Get rid of that threat and then I'll be glad to throw out the democrats afterward.
What do you mean you didn’t see any? Were you even looking?
Thanks for writing this, it’s cool to know there is other independents around.
Bush era /establishment conservatives don’t support trump. Just look at Bush, Rubio, Hogan, Romney, McConnell, even Ted Cruz. Those are all people I do not support. And there is a consensus on MAGA forums that these people SUCK
What you have was a mass exodus of democrats, like me, who were burned (me during 2015 when I saw what happened to Bernie Sanders) and went ‘Republican’ (if you can call it that) with Trump. But really, many of us are independent or politically homeless.
No, he's saying that Apple is (mostly) no longer utilizing the paid advertising feature on Twitter (and therefore obviously wouldn't need to pay for it). This is right in the headline of the article.
So "Apple was following orders" is acceptable to you? Don't you think if Apple is committed to human rights and freedom of expression that they should either refuse morally unacceptable orders or not do business in that country? What if a dictator passed a "law" where Apple was required to supply the geo-location of dissidents so that dictator would then sent a kill squad to eliminate that dissident. Is that acceptable simply because that's the law?
Clearly this has nothing to do with the human rights violations Apple is a party to in countries like China and Iran. Gambling is not a human right.
Absolutely. Any company that professes they care about human rights has a moral obligation to resist or refuse any laws that violate human rights. If they cannot, they should not do business in that country.
If not, they should just focus on making and selling products and software and not be hypocritical about their views. If a company is only supporting a cause by performing simple measures they are being the literal definition of slacktivists per the U.N. Not being a party to human rights violations in China is hard.
Fighting Elon Musk because he's the wrong political party and supports the concept of free speech on his platform is easy.
Most of what Trump says is a lie that serves his purposes, and not evidence of MAGA's hating war.
I think there's more and more independents...
Yeah they do, in every way. Just look at what the senate did with the 2 impeachments of Trump. They wouldn't even take up the case to convict and did everything they could to block it. (and those impeachments articles were valid) And that's just one example -- there are plenty more mundane ways they supported Trump. That may be changing now, and I very much hope it is, but they're all still scum to me until they actually try working for the U.S. again.
At least we agree on one thing.
I went the other way, I was republican before switching to independent, but that was a long time ago when they started the massive tax cuts for the rich and "trickle down" theory. I still voted republican until after Bush the II.
What turnip truck did you fall off of, kid?
You know, you made this same comment to me yesterday, but apparently didn't have a rebuttal to my response.
