Probably a good time to try and sell maps and globes to red school districts.

Is this the day after he pardoned January 6 cop killers?

Sweet!

I know right he is totally queer meth exclusive

So two minutes isn’t long enough now?

Ok so we can assume the dozen coup attempts by the us government have nothing to do with this at all, gotcha….

Again, whatever country you are from your anecdotal experience and evidence is valid but also anecdotal. We are both obviously influenced by propaganda on this particular issue but again whatever country you are from if I got it wrong and you think that was the most important thing? When we are talking about Venezuela? Really? Does your neck have a ring of shit around it? Serious questions need answers

Edit: I already know the answer to one of these questions

Israelis still see themselves as the victim from something that happened 80 years ago. I think they truly believe they are still the victims. They see themselves as being the chosen people who have been persecuted all throughout history.

Religion is cancer. All religion.

Israel is either going to have a reckoning with itself soon or I assume it will eventually cease to exist.

Hopefully the younger generations of Israeli’s are seeing that their leadership is actively supporting and eagerly engaging in genocide and war crimes.

Unfortunately many of the Israeli’s who do see what the fascist government is doing move out, which keeps the people in the country extremely conservative and right wing.

Not the same at all

If you keep using the word bigoted to include regular mundane discussion it will cease to have meaning.

Man you are going off the rails on a non issue. Two things can be true at once, not everything is mutually exclusive

The Jains I believe used the swastika but I think it was reversed

It may have been a symbol for ahimsa which is nonviolence I can’t remember and too tired to look it up.

Meh, I guess we are just going to have to disagree on some things, I believe that it’s okay to scrutinize our politicians and their decisions they have made in life to a higher degree than what might be acceptable for a regular citizen.

She put herself in the public spotlight in a way that other citizens have not done, and our politicians deserve scrutiny. The policies she has advocated for in the past are quite atrocious which does not help her cause in my opinion but obviously others support her to some degree.

I would consider this a non issue if it were someone who was even in the same ballpark as me politically, but regardless I do see how it is an issue that could have some relevance to be discussed, even if I agreed with her for the most part politically.

Do you think if they had chosen a more Hindi or Indian sounding nickname she would call herself that?

Yea I think even if they make it classified or top secret or whatever folks in congress on committees can review and get updates etc and possibly justices I don’t know but yea even with security clearance that’s better than having it be some random thing in space x although nsa will have access to their communications

Yea I don’t care about her name as much as I do about her policy for sure, it’s just an interesting point someone brought up about how Vivek may have trouble getting elected with a “foreign” sounding name.

As someone who has traveled across the country multiple times i am slightly weary of going through Ohio because of hillbilly racism, and I am a white dude

And that has nothing to do with the fact that Nikki sounds more “American”

Anyway, now I have to look up Beto’s real name. The topic is interesting because elected officials are changing their names, I’m not sure it relates to why trans folks change their names as much as you seem to think it does.

Wasn’t me you were asking. I have a few trans friends and I try to use the correct name but when you have known and lived with them for close to ten years sometimes I mess up lol.

What is dead naming again? Calling them the wrong name intentionally as an insult?

Has anyone asked her why she changed her name? I’ve heard or read articles suggesting that it was done to sound more white from progressive circles… I don’t really care if someone changes their name but it is interesting if they are doing it because their own constituents would see them as “other” had they not done it.

Ted Cruz is another example I think.

And oh yea don’t we have our first trans representative in congress now? I can’t remember what state but I remember Margerine Green Potato trying to pass a bill about bathrooms in the capitol recently?

Because they are running for fucking governor dude
