I don't think we should compromise in some areas, to be clear. Abortion, death with dignity and problems with our voting system that keep minorities from voting are a few examples.
Gentle nudging works great in the clean politics of an intellectually honest and mature electorate with a respect for facts and that prioritizes the collective good.
We have 0.00000000 of those conditions met.
Here guile, shock, awe, deception, fraud, appear to lowest common denominator works so well there is no room for anything else.

Yeah, so let's stoop down to the level of the morons. Good thinking!

If enough morons are stooping, it doesn't matter whether or not you're stooping too. Academic question for you, really, since you've already swallowed the morons propaganda whole.
Every great nation or idea is defeated, first, from the inside..while those poor fuckers look towards exterior enemies. Good work on that.

Nope, both dead. Is there any piece of nutbar islamist bullshit you -don't- believe? This is why the trump admin is getting shit for the way it handled this. People like you will believe things like that, especially in response to comments like his.

Nope; what makes me doubt any story coming from American military/intelligence is that America -just like so many nations- use "lies" to cover up its real motives.
That's an innate capacity to protect a nation's interests; but the U.S took it too far and even began to bomb people and cover it with total lies (like the WMDs lie that caused the U.S invasion to Iraq in 2003).
So, it's a half-brown tactic to dominate the world; Trump inherited this shitty nation and pooped more and more in the bowel of American democracy; finally authorizing torture, beg money from the Saudies and doing their dirty job for them for money.

Oh for sure, that's the US, a global pauper going around begging randos in foreign countries to spare a few pieces of copper.
How long until the mothership comes back round, do you reckon?
Anywho, that story wasn't coming from us military intelligence, military intelligence very bluntly called bullshit on the president...which is where that story came from. Abu Bakr is dead. Was he crying and screaming at the end? Not according to the people who killed him...and no one knows why the president would make up the narrative he did to spice up his little presser - or why he would blurt out operational details (beyond his history of compulsively doing so)..but what we do know, is that people like you will not believe that story. That you will believe something even more ludicrous than the presidents own ambulations around the truth.

I agree. Every country that has concept of “school lunch debt” for six year olds must already be ruled by some sort of extremists. Or this picture, again: extremism
![[Image: EINu-MUW4-AUx8y1.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/c1Xr1Cbf/EINu-MUW4-AUx8y1.jpg)
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It's bizarre to me that you equate me not caring enough to want to shit on Trump daily with "swallow[ing] the morons propaganda whole." Really not sure where you're making that vast leap.
I think you should take some time to learn about cognitive distortions, specifically black & white thinking.
