Yes, but the American government is currently sanctioning the centrifuge parts that Gender Reveal Inc. needs for its enrichment program


I was just asking since Thermodolia is suggesting we take over the world by nuking it and developing Reagan’s Star Wars missile defense.

He's already proven he'll believe falsehoods and not listen to people giving out sources when he asks, so I wouldn't be surprised if he came up with some bogus reason against you as well.

The Southern strategy largely being a myth isn't a falsehood, it's a fact. It and the notion of a "party switch" have been pushed by Democrats for some time but when you actually look at the evidence there's very little available. Also Nora Xent you took that book from the Wikipedia article and having checked it out there is nothing on page 35 to support the claims it is being used for on that article. So yeah if "the book you cite doesn't actually support your claims" is a bogus reason (it isn't.) I guess I just came up with one.

Here's a question for you: when did the parties switch, and how?

Yes. Kind of. They claim to be communists, but they envision something similar to the Soviet Union when they think of communism, and not what the word actually means. Also they believe that the way to achieve that is with thermonuclear war and to accelerate the harms of capitalism till capitalism collapses on itself. They also believe that they are guided by psychic aliens who took the form of Dolphins on Earth and that all Dolphins are these aliens. They are absolutely insane.

I don’t see how it possibly could be so in a democracy like ours, aren’t individual votes the fundamental unit of political analysis? :^)

The real answer is that the parties didn't switch and the idea of a "party switch" is a myth. But I want to hear Senkaku's interpretation, which they're not actually offering.

I take it you don't actually have an answer, then. Would've been nice if you could have said that at the start.
