2024 ELECTION THREAD

Gotta vote Biden bc his genocide could be worse is not really the argument you think it is

Democracy is on the line.

Could be our last chance to genocide as a free populace.

When people say they can't vote for Biden because of his support for Israel, it does make sense to question if the person they'll vote for supports Israel even more.

Lose the presidency
Lose the house
Lose the senate
Maybe another Supreme Court judge

Biden’s legacy will be that

The sad part is if the GOP had a different candidate it would be a landslide

The standard for Biden is at least it wasn’t as bad as the debate

Since this is a conversation about American voters, I have no idea why I would need to convince the Palestinians of anything. Good deflection.

Edit: also, it doesn't even matter if Trump would be worse, if he wouldn't be better then this isn't a point that helps decide between them. It seems like people are using this talking point to complain about the situation but are pretending it's actually about picking between the candidates.

If there was a good candidate to replace Biden he would already be out. Kamala Harris is not very popular and she has the same issue as Hillary Clinton of coming off as insincere. Bringing in an unknown would be a huge roll of the dice. Andrew Yang is the only guy I can think of who would be a huge favourite to beat Trump, but he's not even on the radar it seems.

no its a reason to stay home and not indulge liberal fantasies about harm reduction and pragmatism and incremental gain. the liberals in charge are doing a plausible genocide that has killed at least 200k people. doesnt matter if Trump would be 1% worse on this or other things. its still voting for one of the greatest mass murderers of our life.

In the 1940s we did what it took to destroy the Nazis of that time; and now Israel is doing what it takes to destroy the Nazis (Hamas, and more generally all the Islamists trying to ethnically cleanse Israel of Jews) of this time.

And the rest of the world supporting the Nazis by supplying them with arms and being agnostic towards their tactics of brutal pogroms against civilians and using their own civilians as human shields is just making it that much worse. At some point appeasement of the evil that is Islamism needs to end, for the sake of humanity.

That being said I absolutely believe Hamas should give back the hostages, put down their arms and abandon their terror of Gaza; so hopefully a group that isn't homicidal psychopaths can come and begin the path towards peace.

Victor, I understand that it may be the only issue in the world that you care about, but would you concede that there are other issues besides Israel/Palestine that other Americans may be interested in?

For example

Biden's got brain worms.

Should crypto profit be taxed?
Should crypto transactions be tracked?
Should crypto accounts have rights/insurances?

Income Tax should be abolished, but at present crypto profits are taxed in the same manner as all other profits.
They are. That's what the blockchain is lol
Yes probably a good idea for those who want to use third parties to hold coins for them

I dont see any appreciable difference between the 2 of them on any issues. I have explained this many times. Biden just implemented a Trump level border plan and has given the most money to the police and military in history.

but I am going to push back on any liberal that calls me "stupid" for not agreeing that Trump would be "far worse." its a viewpoint that is simply ignorant of what Biden has done.

Surely Trump must edge it for you given your admiration of dictators then, no?

Trump edges it out bc I dont like presidents that do genocide. and it will piss off the libs.

I mean, between crypto, lols, and pissing off the libs, you guys are really beginning to sell me on this whole Trump idea.

Housenuts, now that it's official that Biden is a few sandwiches short of a picnic, does he gain ground on the lols front? That would leave just crypto and lib off-pissing to contemplate.

yes I think I wrote earlier in thread that biden may be passing trump in the lols category. desires are getting muddied now.

Biden’s donors just turned off the cuckbucks. He’ll be stepping down in the coming days. What an embarrassment.

Income tax and capital gains taxes are completely different, and I didnt get a yes or no answer to the questions so im just gonna reiterate them if thats ok

Should crypto profit be taxed?

Should crypto transactions be tracked?

Do you think it is ok to have crypto regulations if it brings rights/insurances to crypto accounts?

Lol I already answered your questions.

And to be more specific on the first one: It's already taxed, both from an income and capital gains perspective as everything else. I think Biden is even trying to put in an additional 30% tax on bitcoin mining. Total clown.

I didnt see you answer if crypto should be tracked. You said that it is, and thats what the blockchain is, you didnt answer if it should be tracked.

I guess I still dont know if you think crypto should be taxed or not. You keep telling me that it is taxed, which is an answer to a question like " is crypto taxed or not", which is not what I am asking

It is tracked. I don't suggest bitcoin/ethereum and other chains make substantial changes such that it can't be traceable. That would be Nobel prize level stuff. If you want non-trackable crypto look at zcash/monero and some others. There's arguments the neckbeards at NSA can track those anyways.

I think it should be taxed in the same manner as everything else is.
