Sometimes it is necessary for the long term good of humanity. Saying 'we can't use authoritarianism to beat authoritarians' is the logic that got the nazis in power in Germany. The nazis should have been crushed early on, but instead liberals just kept appeasing them.

Democrats lost because they didn't embrace populist rhetoric.

If they just ran someone like Bernie they could have won. People are tired of the status quo and they thought Trump would be a way out of it. All democrats run on is "we'll keep things the same".

I used to be a person that believed very strongly in freedom of speech and that anything which was categorized as a philosophy or belief shouldn't be censored.

However, after seeing how hard fascism has taken hold in America, I'm beginning to change my mind.

It means he's an idiot who wants to convince other idiots that this will mean less taxes for them, while it just means that poor people will be taking up the tax burden while the rich get away without paying anything.

They're pushing AI so hard but most people just see it as a gimmicky thing. The only people who care are the investors.

If I was in a swing state then I would vote for Harris to prevent Trump from getting in, but I'm not in a swing state so I'm going to vote for a candidate that I actually like.

Since my state (California) would never turn red, the best thing I can do in my vote is to help my actual preferred candidate get access to campaign funds.

But again, I do think those in swing states should do whatever they can to prevent Trump from getting in.
