    He didn’t. “The only garbage I see is his supporter’s” garbage, i.e, it’s the possessive “'s”. The clue here is ‘is’, singular. If he meant a group of people, he’d have said ‘are’, plural.

    Anyway, Trump called the whole country a garbage can, so if you’re so desperately offended by your misunderstanding of Biden’s comments, I guess you’re also pretty torn up about Trump’s actual comments, right?

        No, he didn’t. Both the context and the grammar make it clear that my interpretation is correct. Even if you interpret it unsumpathetically, the inference that it’s ‘all’ Trump supporters is something you’ve added.

        Any Trump supporter pretending to be offended by what Biden didn’t actually say is in any case a massive hypocrite, because Trump built his political career on being offensive. They can’t turn around now and act all offended unless they also repudiate Trump.

        No, I don’t know that…

        HARRIS: This is the thing. We know we are actually fighting for our democracy. And unlike Donald Trump I don’t believe people who disagree with me are the enemy.

        Trump: “These are horrible people. Oops, we should get along with everybody. They’re horrible people. Some people you just can’t get along with.”

        If I’m going to choose candidates based on their own words, then Trump can go fuck himself and Harris seems pretty presidential.

    I always gotta laugh when the people who support trump, who are the most famous group of people for pulling the whole “THATS NOT WHAT HE SAID YOU TOOK IT OUT OF CO TEXT AND TWISTED HIS MEANING” then turn around and shit out the exact same turd they’re accusing other people out of their brains. I know conservatives who don’t do this though, and I respect those people. I really, really don’t respect weak bitches like you though OP.

      I’d call wanting to disarm an entire populace and arbitrarily kill babies pretty tyrannical, but that wouldn’t mean we should kill people who advocate such things.

          Kamala Harris supports an assault weapons ban. First of all, most firearm deaths are done with handguns rather than rifles - 59% vs. 3%. Second, I’ve yet to hear a definition of “assault weapon” that isn’t completely arbitrary. Third, there is very little evidence that the previous assault weapons ban actually reduced firearm deaths.

          Also, Kamala Harris wants to “restore the protections of Roe v. Wade,” which would essentially allow abortions up to the point of birth for any/no reason. Abortion is, in the vast majority of cases, the killing of an innocent human being - the fetus/baby. That is, it’s murder of an exceptionally vulnerable person.

                Easily.

                First, banning assault-style rifles wouldn’t be ‘disarming’, unless you’re going to argue that any regulation of firearms is disarming. Is it dumb? Sure. Would it have any significant effect on firearm homicides? No; even most mass shootings are committed with handguns. (For the record, I own multiple assault-style rifles, and I compete in action pistol (USPSA, IDPA, etc.) and two gun matches regularly, in a non-ban state. I do oppose rifle and feature bans, because I oppose regulating tools rather than changing material conditions.)

                Secondly, Roe v. Wade never allowed all abortions up to the point of birth. Roe v. Wade specifically balanced the rights of a person-to-be against the person that had to run the risk of pregnancy and birth, and said that prior to viability–broadly speaking, the end of the first trimester, but realistically more like 27 weeks–the rights of the women overrode the state interest in protecting the not-yet-life of a potential person. Beyond that, the overwhelming majority of all abortions that happen after the first trimester happen because there are defects incompatible with life, or because there’s a complication that will kill the woman if she does not terminate the pregnancy.

                I’ll also note that if you really wanted to reduce rates of abortion, you would ensure that schools taught comprehensive sex education–including accurate, factual information about birth control and how to use it (e.g., none of this ‘abstinence only’ bullshit)–as well as making birth control widely, easily, and affordably available to all people.

                Probably because you’re lapping up right wing propaganda or purposefully spreading it

                  If it’s propaganda, you should be able to easily disprove it. You’re here insulting me for apparently no basis, so you must have the time and energy to provide sources that dispute these claims, right?

        disarm

        If a man had an assault rifle and a handgun, and he put down the assault rifle, would you describe him as ‘unarmed’? If so, I don’t think you can describe removing assault rifles as ‘disarming’ people.

    I find it interesting that a conservative sub is absolutely riddled with liberals. It’s painfully obvious what is happening here.

    Stay mad lol

      I tried this place out since I can’t use reddit. I’m sick of being banned for normal thoughts. This place is so much further left but no bans lol. We just need to get more conservatives to come here.

        It’s the DNC paid social media machine at work here. They’re swamping several platforms in an attempt to control the narrative.

        It isn’t gonna work. And they know it. But I’m sure they are paid well for their wasted efforts.

          Its not going to work with an attitude like that lol. I saw stuff about reddit being exposed. I can’t say it surprised me.
