Are you laughing with me or are you laughing at me?

At.

[Joohan]

Are you laughing with me or are you laughing at me?

Does it unnerve you? The anxiety of not knowing? Good...

[Xuloqoia]

Are you laughing with me or are you laughing at me?

At.

May you elaborate as to why you’re laughing at me? All I did was state who I supported in the 2020 election.

Because Yang’s ideas are for the most part, unworkable?

[Washington Resistance Army]

My biggest complaint with Yang is that while he is a forward looking person who actually is concerned about things like automation his solution is just "lol here have a little bit of money while the capitalist class becomes wealthier and more powerful than at any time in history".

One of my major complaints, yes.

If I may ask, who do you support in the coming election?

I mean, have you heard Bernie and Warren talk about paying for their healthcare plans? At least Yang is cheery

The fact you support anyone in the upcoming race is reason enough to laugh.

You’ve given up on politics, I take it?

You don't need to give up on politics to realize nobody in this election season who has even a slim chance of winning is worth supporting.

I have zero confidence in the current political class actually doing anything more than lining their pockets and manipulating public opinion to do more of the same. I see elections as little more than an entertaining show of professional clowns and charlatans.

Wait a minute, that’s just NSG.

Seeing as how it looks like the DNC is going to be nominating grandpa Joe, Trump's bound to win. Never mind all the trumped up scandal's and opposition, I think he's done a great job as president so far.

[Kowani]

Bernie, first and foremost.

…Based on what metric?

His expansion of domestic petroleum drilling has contributed hugely to America retaining it's position as the world's largest producer; got rid of the individual mandate; deregulated certain parts of the Dodd-Frank act, and though I didn't agree with everything he did there, he did help out local and regional banks and credit unions a lot; signed right to try into law; his success's in tackling the opioid epidemic; Taking the fight over trade straight to China; his hardline stance against North Korea; his expansion of the military; moving the embassy to Jerusalem; and his heavy handed enforcement of our immigration laws.

Stuff off the top of my head.

He's not perfect, but he's a fantastic start! Now we just need someone who is more socially conservative and woke about cosmopolitan capitalism.

[The Empire of Pretantia]

Why is it just the ti- OOOOHHHH

I don't get it?

Just the tip.

[Kowani]

His expansion of domestic petroleum drilling has contributed hugely to America retaining it's position as the world's largest producer;

Ah, yes, he contributed to climate change. Whoo.

got rid of the individual mandate;

Hooray for objectively worse healthcare?

deregulated certain parts of the Dodd-Frank act,

This is a terrible idea.

and though I didn't agree with everything he did there, he did help out local and regional banks and credit unions a lot;

Citation needed.

signed right to try into law;

Alright, this is actually good.

his success's in tackling the opioid epidemic;

You realize the rate of opioid related deaths exploded under Trump.

Taking the fight over trade straight to China;

Right idea, wrong solution.

his hardline stance against North Korea;

Yeah, his photo-ops were real hardline.

his expansion of the military;

Also not a good thing.

moving the embassy to Jerusalem;

This is good because why?

and his heavy handed enforcement of our immigration laws.

Look, more disasters towards a nonissue.

He's not perfect, but he's a fantastic start!

Now we just need someone who is more socially conservative and woke about cosmopolitan capitalism.

The latter yes, the former no.

[Washington Resistance Army]

moving the embassy to Jerusalem

Bending over to the whims of a rogue state that sells our technology to our rivals and openly interferes in our domestic affairs more than any other is hardly a good thing.

[Totally Not OEP]

Okay, so hear me out....

Let's just leave tactical nuclear weapons throughout the Middle East, making like a scanvenger hunt and do what EA does with micro-transactions; "please export 1 million barrels of fuel for free for the next clue" type shit. At the end, enough of the Islamics will have a stockpile of weapons, and then we just pull out...and let them and the Israelis figure out what happens next BUT we broadcast it live on HBO.

[Turbofolkia]

I blame Protestants.

Yeah it's always our fault. While we have our issues, including but not limited to the complete abandonment of Christianity in favor of secularism and becoming an arm of liberal politics, it wasn't our leaders raping kids.

The Anglican Church is just as implicated in the child sexual abuse scandal as the Catholic Church is. I think one CoE diocese in Canada even went bankrupt from all the compensation it had to give to victims of abuse.

And it’s not like the 1000 different offshoots of Protestantism that you have in America are any better. Even if they’re not abusing children, it’s just megachurches filled with people on mobility strollers donating their life savings to Pastor Hamburglar so that he can buy his sixth McMansion.

I’m sigging that.

As far as the last part, there is a ton of variety within Protestantism in the US. Protestantism is not EXCLUSIVELY those commercialized prosperity theology mega churches you describe, although said churches do exist.

Your average Episcopalian (American Anglican) church is completely different from your stereotypical Evangelical prosperity theology mega church.

Of course not church is free from problems. One is not necessarily measurably better or worse in any objective way.
