If one’s candidate is a known POS that people are embarrassed or ashamed to be associated with, maybe one should consider voting for someone else vs loyalty to party over country

---

It's not loyalty to party, it's loyalty to common sense.

It doesn't take much to see that talarico is a heretical "Christian" who pushes the trans agenda, welfare state, open borders, soft on crime policies, and climate change.

He is your typical modern democrat. And that's what people are voting against. Voting for a party that doesn't share any of your values makes no sense no matter how bad the other candidate is.

The values of the democrat and republican parties are diametrically opposed. It's a vote for similar values, not loyalty to the party.

There should have been a lot more boots on the ground. We should have taken islands in the straits and strategic points along the Iranian coast. Until we do that we will never control the Strait of Hormuz.

---

So, you want thousands of Americans to die so the conflict will be over sooner rather than just starving them out?

That makes zero sense unless you don't value American lives.

quote:

---

I haven’t given up. Trump gave up. He gave up about 3 weeks into the war when he started all this cease fire nonsense because he didn’t have the balls to do what it took to win the war.

---

Trump didn't give up. He was never going to have an invasion because the American public can't handle that. You are not being realistic.

quote:

---

Aren't they private owned?

Just like the cameras on my house?

---

Is it constitutional to use private companies to go around the constitution?

If it is, then what's the point of the constitution? Just to make sure the government doesn't take away your rights unless a private company is involved?

quote:

---

Actually agree with you. Benefiting him is the driver for most things.

Not America First like you all pretend.

---

You guys complain because Trump can't codify anything into law, just EOs. Then you complain when Trump backs people in congress who would actually help him.

You can't have it both ways.

quote:

---

He has no power and isn't calling the shots.

---

Does this mean he doesn't understand the current situation in Iran?

Iran will eventually surrender. And when that happens, half of the vocal conservatives here will claim it as a victory for Iran simply because we didn't exterminate all their bloodlines or install a puppet regime, things they never wanted us to do in the first place.

quote:

---

So the principled libertarian is for industry protectionism now?

---

The TDS crew has to be hypocrites so they can complain no matter what happens.

Bitching about a problem and then bitching about the solution is just part of their pathetic daily lives.

quote:

---

So um dumbfrick, you against kosher food being available as well? Kosher is even more restrictive. I don't see people bitching about places that are strictly kosher.

---

I don't see Jews raping and murdering all over the West. Maybe the problem isn't actually the food, but the people who eat it. Wouldn't that make more sense?

quote:

---

They know. They just don't want to hear it. It's all so-called entitlements: SS, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP and so on and so on. It's all on auto pilot just snowballing as time goes on. Now it's compounded by tens of millions of third-world illegals who have been added to the government teat. Don't believe me? Just look at a pie chart of government spending.

---

Using logic and reasoning to explain why someone is presenting data dishonestly is frowned upon. You're supposed to just agree with the crowd to show you're not in a cult.

quote:

---

Where is it chiseled in stone that all rank and file Republicans must march like lemmings in terms of what Trump does or doesn't do. Hell, if I were a Republican Senator, I would be raising a hundred kinds of hell about the Iran dog and pony show, and the deliberate procrastination of the Trump Administration in reaching a conclusion.

---

Would you also refuse to do the job you were elected for because you disagree with a single unrelated policy?

Would you also be dumb enough to not put through appointments needed to implement policies the people want simply because you didn't get everything your way?

Since when is a senator refusing to process constitutional appointments simply "not marching like a lemming" instead of being an obstructionist?

You guys don't have to live your entire lives on emotions. You can still do your job even when you're not happy about. Adults do it every day.

But has he not been getting his chosen candidates in Congress?

---

This is your argument now? After telling us that MAGA is dead?

Did you forget that y'all have also claimed that Trump endorses people who will win regardless? Are you just oblivious to the fact that this directly contradicts your narrative that he is getting "his people" in?

Did you also forget all the victory laps y'all take when a Trump-endorsed candidate loses?

How many congressmen have been in office since before Trump was elected?

Trump getting "his people" into office still doesn't mean he has a majority.

quote:

And Mike Johnson as Speaker?

---

Are you completely unaware of this body called the Senate, its role in passing laws, and its leader named Thune?

You really are a simple-minded person.

It seems that people, particularly those against the conflict, have forgotten that this was never about the Strait. Yet, that is all they talk about.

The goal was to stop Iran from building more nukes and missiles. Why is this never discussed? Why is it so hard for so many people to recognize any positive news?

If you are discussing the effects of the war, it seems logical to at least mention the whole reason it began in the first place. But many are just ignoring this and only focusing on the number of ships through the Strait, which aren't even destined for our country.

These people will say that Iran is having their weapons restocked by other countries, so they know that this part has been successful. So, why is the only focus on oil through the Strait?

Is this like when the MSM refuses to acknowledge anything good Trump has done? Because it really seems like it.

The people who do nothing but complain while refusing to acknowledge any positive news are as useful as the media. They can't be taken seriously due to their bias and emotional reactions.

The worst part is that they know this behavior helps democrats. Some are even giddy at the prospect of democrats taking over congress despite claiming to be conservatives. They just can't help themselves.

Is complaining about everything while ignoring everything good really that attractive? Is that dopamine hit really worth it? I sincerely cannot understand this mentality.
