How are Democrats not running ads about how "Donald Trump wants to kill your children."

It's all one power structure.

If only RFK Jr. would only talk faster he'll "find" the solution. It's not found in science, it's found in talk.

the brainworms are doin everything they can to help!

Because they are complicit. The two parties are not the same, they differ on a few dozen topics, of which the public is acutely aware. For the other 1,000,000+ issues, they are either in agreement or are complicit in Republican ideology.

The first task is just a matter of time. The second is essentially complete as far as many people are concerned.

Ardent anti-vaccine activist and current US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reportedly on thin ice with Trump for not being anti-vaccine enough for the president’s liking

How are there so many completely delusional people in the world in a time of education and information?
Is the human brain rigged for insanity?

I don't mean RFK Jr. or Trump, but the fact that Trumps delusional policies got him elected in a country of 300+ million people.
😡 🤥 🤡 🤮

USA as a country and society is stark raving mad.

If you attack a party for something well in advance of an election, it loses its effectiveness before election day. People get desensitized to the message and it no longer impacts their decision to vote or who to vote for. If you noticed during the last election, different promises were made at different times. They waited to promise full legalization of cannabis until the last minute for a reason. There are also alignments of promises or points emphasized during primaries based on which state primary or primaries are up next.

Would clash with the "Donald Trump wants to fuck your children." ads.

Fuck marry kill should not be a pick two of three

I have lived in the bible belt all my life, still trying to escape. People are proud of their beliefs even though they aren't true. "Everyone is entitled to their beliefs" is the common sentiment, but it's wrong. Everyone is morally obligated to align their beliefs with reality as closely as they can.

That's where science comes in. It is not an authority, not a religion, not a system. It is a process we use to acquire and refine knowledge. Given the physical limitations of our senses and minds, it is the best we can do.

People need to learn before we all die of stupid.

You gotta understand the US' version of democracy hasn't functioned properly in decades. I don't know what all happened; seems like a culmination of things.

I mean, "the people" didn’t promote him to the head of the GOP presidential lineup. When he did something disrespectful and disgusting, he wasn't dismissed by his party. He just assumed control. His words were repeated and analyzed by every news station as if he had merit. His wasn't a grassroots movement, it was plotted & paid for by who knows (I'm assuming corporations & foreigners powers).

Not to mention his uproar over voting machines during Biden's entire term - I struggle to believe the same fascists pushing & investigating these machines & corporations for years prior to the election actually won said election.

"Stark raving mad"? Maybe. "Delusional"? Also maybe. But I think more than anything the population is the victim of a broken government.

Holy shit. He really hates us all.....

I can shorten that a bit.

Trump: Mad.

How are Democrats

I'm not sure who exactly you mean...

Candidates wouldn't be running election ads yet.

Like, who do you think should be running ads. And what would the purpose be?

I don't really wish death upon anyone, but there are definitely times when I wish we hadn't been able to tackle COVID so quickly. Much more significant losses of people who obstinately refused to buy into the science would likely have made us come out of it FAR stronger than we did. We might not even have had Trump around any longer since he apparently got an early access dose of treatment.

It wasn't an early access dose of treatment outside the US, my (unconnected) grandpa got the same stuff at almost exactly the same time in a country with proper healthcare.

No offense, but that's irrelevant since we're talking the rules the US was operating under. I'm glad your grandpa was able to access it earlier than we could, but it doesn't change the reality we were working with here.

Heh, you think those rules were real and not just artificial scarcity used to prop up the price tag?

• There was no (direct) price tag in this instance. I'm sure we paid significantly for it through taxes, but how do you put a value on millions of lives?
• Yes, those rules were real, and had been in place for quite some time. They were actually somewhat pared back for this issue.

Because the frontal attack just reinforces his position. The right wing populist playbook is all about the victim complex and it has some known bugs in human "rationality" helping out as well.

Anyone found a first party source? This headline is awful clickbaity

They were real for most everybody, with a path to exceptions in place for cases where it was a potential last ditch method of saving someone's life. Trump's treatment seemed to have bypassed even that process, but given the time constraints it was understandable.

Are we done with the inane & irrelevant arguments now?

You mean other than the first paragraph of the article that links to it?

The numerous measles outbreaks and thousands of infected children are doing most of the having lifting already. No need to spend money on what local and national news are already spreading for free.

The Democrats have bigger fish to fry – – mostly, making sure to get enough voters to the polls to make sure we win the midterms and issues such as the war in Iran and general affordability issues, not to mention Epstein.

Hard to prove a link that doesn't exist.

It is pay walled

I always try to find an alt source

Probably.

Since when do they need proof to exclaim something backwards and stupid?

Claiming the population as a whole is victim of the government they themselves elect is circular logic. And makes it an obviously false proposition.
Yes democracy in USA is dysfunctional, but it is still a representative democracy.

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs

That is such a stupid saying, basically it's true that people are entitled to their beliefs, but that doesn't make their beliefs worthy in any way, and it definitely doesn't mean crazy beliefs have to be respected, and it also doesn't mean they deserve special consideration.
Everybody is also entitled to jump off a cliff, but what would be the point of such a statement?
Americans fail to debunk the widespread insanity as a society, and as a result the insanity is spreading.

Not for Trump, he just thinks hard enough and that's how it is. No really, as far as I read that's how he treats life, you think hard enough and make sure you have groveling sycophants tell you that how everything is just like your delusions and live in a fantasy world where your hands don't look like they belong on a 10 year old.

Well technically I think it was some positive thinking attitude type mindset so even if it doesn't match reality it happens. What a load of baloney, unless you start with half a billion dollars on the game of life then you're rich enough to pretend whatever you like. Somehow this dude made least 1/3 of the US think that's okay, good job on electing people to defend education and critical thinking.

what for? Magatards will keep voting Republican and the rest is either not listening or will vote Democrat and silently hope for the best

Trump just wants manufactured evidence

They are controlled opposition. Their only function is to pacify the left and make sure no actual lefties make it out of primaries. They answer to the ruling class same as Republicans.

ThE eLeCtiOn wAs sToLeN!

I think you're just too poor

Wow, eurotrash gloating about the 20€ in their bank account. How European

"Report: Trump mad" Yes, of course.

The point is, that scarcity in America had no bearing on if Trump would have gotten it. If there hadn't been one dose of vaccine in America, or even if it had been illegal to dispense, Trump would have had it within 12 hours of thinking it was better to have that shot than risk the most important person in his world suffer an early death.

We all know that. I don't see how that's relevant to what I was originally saying.

"But it seems Trump has not aligned with his advisors and still wants Kennedy to demolish vaccination policy with wild abandon, despite the health and political dangers. "

What the fuck is even the point?

Anti-vaxx stuff used to be on the fringes - once the stupidest people took over the Republican party anti-science sentiment in general came with them. Because they're stupid.

I mean, “the people” didn’t promote him to the head of the GOP presidential lineup.

They did, though. How do you think that happened? He was voted for in Republican primaries.

You believing in "election fraud" is more destructive to our government than not. Believing wild bullshit without evidence is what you criticize in one breath and then actively do in the next.

It's functional and it is a democracy, the biggest problem is the first-past-the-post system. Most of other forms of democracy seem to work better but we're super wrapped up in tradition and nationalism so people get offended if you suggest something could be improved.

FFS, please shut the fuck up. The "lefties" in Democratic party that are super popular around here are Democrats as well.

Yeah we can really see how both sides are the same. I remember when Biden was virulently anti-vaccine, while unleashing a personal paramilitary force on the population, while destroying our relations with every other country, while starting a war with Iran to distract from him protecting child rapists.

Oh wait, no I don't. Because only an absolute fucking moron could possibly believe both sides are the "same".

What "million plus" issues are there?

Fuck this "both sides" nonsense, it's so goddamn stupid. Sheer fucking delusion no different than MAGA delusion.

Like, who do you think should be running ads. And what would the purpose be?

They mean not running them yet. These ads are annoying as shit, if you over do it, it backfires. The election isn't until November.
