Dictatorships are not intrinsically bad.

You can have good dictators, even if they are rare.

Hard disagree there.

But it really depends on what you value as good and bad.

For instance, if you think that people have an inherent right to have a say in how they are governed, then a dictatorship can never be good because it infringes on that right in the most serious of ways.

If you think a stable and sustainable system of government that will last beyond the life of a few leaders is important, then dictatorship is not a good system, because one good dictator creates no guarantee that the next dictator will be good, and establishing a system of dictatorship affords a bad dictator that much more power to ruin lives.

"I don't like Trump, but Biden just doesn't excite me..."

Democracy surely is being undermined, but I don’t think Ms Bradley is focusing on the right things.

The problem is specifically that she is focused on the right things.

Can we give Trump 49 more of these "gifts" please?

And fuck NBC for posting such a dishonest take.

My god... this argument again.
Everyone is sooooo concerned about Biden's age, but not Trumps. It's bizarrely unbalanced.

Fine dude. Convince him to step aside. I'll vote against Trump no matter who the Democratic Party fields. Can you say the same?

No, I understood what you said. The point I was making was that while many people are perfectly ok shrugging off women they don't want to partner with, they get all icky and upset when it comes to shrugging off a man they don't want to partner with.

Like in your post you specifically singled out Gale. Yet here you are kind of ret-conning that to "4 characters that hit on you." But when you commented your initial complaint it was just Gale. It was just the gay one.

That's what I'm talking about when I say subconscious prejudice/homophobia. I'm not putting you on the same level as the mod maker or some rabid homophobe who's out there trying to take rights away. But I am asking you to examine your reaction and consider if maybe there was something more to it then just "I don't wanna bang this person." Why specifically the sympathy for people who don't like Gale coming on to them vs people who don't want space-lizard-with-tits or daddy's princess coming on to them? That's all.

I mean that's basically a rule that says they can't associate with other GOP members, so it's not surprising they'd reject it.

Imagine being unable to understand why people would vote against Donald Trump...

And he'll still vote for Trump when the time comes, so fuck him.

This is the most frustrating thing because posts like the one you replied to get posted constantly, and debunked constantly as you and other commenters nicely did. Yet they never come back to say, "Thanks for the correction!" or edit their comments to remove the false information. They just go on to repeat the same tripe elsewhere.
