Crazy how the people who believe the government planned the pandemic are also on the side of the guy who ran the government at the time.

I agree that both genocides are bad, but I disagree on a few points:

1. The genocide of Palestinians has been going on since long before October 7. Hamas didn’t initiate it, they just performed a relatively minor act of retaliation which Israel used as an excuse to escalate the genocide.

2. For those of us in the west, our own governments are supporting the latter genocide. So of course we’re more outraged about the blood that’s on our own hands (in some sense). I think that Russia should be stopped as well, but not sending weapons in support of a genocide seems like a pretty clear first step we should be taking.

I guess it depends on your definition of religion. To me, it sounds like a personal religion, even if just one person believes in it. There are any number of religions too small to be included in their list, probably, so they should have an “Other” option, and that seems like the best fit for someone who has a personal set of religious beliefs that do not align with a listed religion.

That sounds more like “Other” than “None”.

Under plurality voting, third parties are objectively bad for the winning chances of whatever party they pull more voters from (and/or bad for whatever major party you personally would vote for, if you personally vote third party). That might be what some people meant by them being “bad”, even though they prefer one of those major parties to win (and cheer on anything that makes the other party less likely to win). Although it’s certainly possible that some people just think they are bad in general. People do have different opinions, after all.

It’s only hypocrisy if they do things that disagree with their own views, and their own views are internally conistent in this case. Their view is not that all third parties are bad, their view is that third parties that have a negative impact are bad. So it doesn’t make it hypocrisy just because it disagrees with your straw man of their views.

There definitely are better taxes than property taxes. But, since it’s a red state, they would probably replace it with a worse one. Or just debt.

This is just a dog-whistle for racism, right? Barely even a dog-whistle. Making fun of a name because it’s not european is pretty blatantly racist.
