    A) I never said you were anti-mask, but your post does show you don't believe masks are effective
    B) Not sure what you are saying about Chinese culture. Hong Kong is the same culture but they are fiercely democratic and yet....still wear masks! So does S. Korea, Taiwan, and other asian countries that are not communist.

    To say that Chinese people are all drones because of their culture which makes them suited for communism is kinda racist to be honest.

    Donate to his challenger's campaign. Even $10. Send him a message.

    Meanwhile, Associated Press goes in: well-reported dissection of the disaster and our President's approach.
    Correctly illustrates this executive at war with his own scientific staff.

    While I sort of agree...the problem is he's unlikely to lose that seat. If you're going to donate to out-of-state campaigns, donate to Harrison in SC, Greenfield in Iowa, Gideon in Maine, Cunningham in NC, Bullock in Montana, Hickenlooper in Colorado, Kelly in Arizona, Peters in Mississippi, Jones in Alabama, Perdue and Warnock in Georgia, and Hegar in Texas. Dems have a good/decent chance to flip (or retain in the case of Peters and Jones) those seats.

    You are one of the worst posters on the BBS as you can't have a civil debate without going apeshit lol.

    When you say, "CHINA MUST BE LYING - HOW DO WE HAVE 200K DEATHS AND THEY HAVE NONE" - you clearly lack the ability to think critically and realize the answer is MASKS.

    That was my point.

    The problem with the US is you have dumb idiot conservatives who have turned wearing a mask into a political statement. That's why we have so many deaths and East Asia has it under control. But NOOOOO - it's all about COMMUNISM

    Dude, you have no right to call anyone anything given how stupid you are.

    Quite simple.

    Im not debating if masks work. You say they wear masks. Fine. But you were responding like im anti masks with the smartass "see masks really work" comments. So when i say im not antimasks you respond i must be anti masks because of my Chinese government comments

    Is their government trustworthy?

    But even worse you tell people you know what they really think all the time. Its text book arrogant troll the entire bbs NewYorker b.s.

    @Sweet Lou 4 2

    and im not anti communism. The point is conservatives here view wearing masks as government control. Im actually agreeing with you but you're too caught up in telling people what they really think

    It's not head shaking, we have multiple undemocratic, effectively unaccountable branches of government at all levels that reinforce each others' failures and become less representative over time as one group tries to enshrine permanent minority rule.

    But...it's what the framers intended! So, just wait around, don't think of any structural remedy except vote, and if you're disenfranchised, vote harder.

    Yes. If many more people voted in WI, MI and PA we wouldn't be in this situation. If Democrats could've taken the Senate in recent years we wouldn't.

    If you think voting isn't the answer then you're doomed already because none of the changes you propose will happen unless Democrats win the Senate.

    I get your point but my vote is only one of many that will be needed to make real change.

    It's not that voting isn't part of the answer, it's when fools tell you that voting is the answer to try to shut down other answers.

    It doesn't work when the structure is rigged to count your vote less, which is how you get more votes in national elections over and over again but still lose.


    Look at Wisconsin

    I had a few unfortunate conversations with him and he gave me a headache. Sour Lou seems a little unhinged. Lol

    I dont' care if you are pro- or anti- communism. I don't even care if you are anti- or pro- mask, neither is the point I am trying to make.

    My point is that you failed to credit masks and assumed that China was just cooking the books. I was pointing out your LOGICAL FALLACY. It doesn't matter if you are pro-mask. I am not telling you what to think or what you do think. I am pointing out WHAT YOU MISSED IN YOUR STATEMENT.

    Got it?

    Yeah, just pitched in to a bunch of senate races in states not my own. Never done that before, but... desperate times.

    Distribution of the vaccine to the public isn't feasible this year. They can have a vaccine but still not have the means to mass produce and distribute this year.
