Noam Chomsky: “Trump has killed thousands of americans”

[ChumpDumper]

Deaths go up every year just like births. Nothing new.

No, they don't go up every year. That's why they're called excess deaths.

What is causing them? Same thing that has been causing them since the beginning of time.

Then why has every government agreed it's the coronavirus causing most of the excess deaths?

[ducks]

I really don’t see how anyone can blame anyone other than China for this whole thing. You can’t blame Trump for cases in Italy, Iran, S. Korea, or any other country....but you can certainly blame China.

Just my opinion.

[baseline bum]

we have a de facto 2 party system because of the combination of our first-past-the-post and winner-take-all system... aka plurality takes all

you can win a state 34-33-33 and get 100% of their electoral votes

gives no incentive for a party to form unless they can actually win a state. if we required a majority, then you can at least have what the UK has and force a coalition government, giving the 3rd party a lot more voice. and by not making all states winner take all, you incentivize competing in all states even if you know you cant get a majority. allows for more compe ion

True. What a cluster our system is.

surprised you didnt just go for Satan or Voldemort tbqh

Satan cannot kill you. He can just make you wish you were dead. Never met that other fellow.

I still blame Harry Reid. He could have rammed it through with the budget reconciliation so it would only need 51 votes the same way McConnell tried to, he was just a pussy who was incapable of finding creative ways to jam stuff through the senate.

Bend over, I'll find a creative way to jam stuff through your chamber.

sure but that doesnt mean hes not a ing moron

he is obviusly smart with media and controlling his masses of stupid s but that does not mean he cannot be a complete idiot when it comes to science or common sense

oh and while we are at it Biden is possibly a bigger moron due to his Alzheimers. and guess what? millions of americans will vote for this stupid in a few months

as I said americans love their idiots

Trump is really ignorant. As in, he has no idea what he's talking about. He's really out of his league, and unfortunately, what humble and sincere people do is let expert talk and handle those situations.

Unfortunately, that's just not in him. He's extremely narcissistic, and thus overconfident. He always was a disaster waiting to happen.

I mentioned when he won that I was sure he would finish his first term (when some peeps here said he would not), but all he had to do was make sure not to up Obama's economy. It looked good for a while, but, here we are.

[DMC]

It's ludicrous to believe any other President in our lifetimes would have undermined the medical community the way Trump has. Not to mention enflaming tensions and encouraging protests, refusing to follow CDC guidelines, favoring Republican-governed states with aid... This mother er has blood on his hands and so do all of his voters. If you hate liberals more than you hate Donald Trump, you aren't paying enough attention.

The CDC is part of the problem. They aren't the good shepherd you're making them out to be. It was their insistence on using only their kits and some of their other tripe that helped worsen the situation, so your revisionist history hit a dead end there.

"blood on his hands". You better hope that silly rhetoric will get you over the hump in November.

Trump's lowest approval rating was in December of 2017. Unemployment rate was at 4.1%.

I think you're putting too much stock in the left's opinion of Trump. They hated him before he took office (except when he was a democrat donor).

His approval rating is at an all time high even with the stock market, the jobless rate and COVID-19 deaths.

satan can kill

you should have gone with satan on your hyperbole

Biden is a 75 year old with Alzheimers and Dementia (not to mention a rapist and groper of kids)

the thought of that mummy being in the white house is ing scary as . We survived 4 years old Orangegutan. And no I dont count the virus because who knows hiw many americans Alzheimer Joe woulda killed.

take away the virus and we survived 4 years of trump. can probably survive 4 more. I am not sure we could survive a dementia ridden lunatic in Rapist Joe tbqh

Jim Crow Joe is a ty candidate who won’t accomplish anything but I’ll still end up voting for him because of how bad things are with Trump. As long as the Republican Party is the party that endorses white supremacists storming the state capital in Michigan with loaded weapons and also the party that supports fat rednecks being able to gun people down with impunity I’m voting for the other team.

"The CDC is flawed, therefore it's preferable for an objectively dishonest trust fund billionaire TV personality to make safety recommendations during a pandemic."

Great idea!

"blood on his hands". You better hope that silly rhetoric will get you over the hump in November.

I am confident that the rhetoric of a basketball message board participant is not going to swing the election either way.

I know you've become a Trump apologist as a result of fuming over what Spurstalk liberals think about you, but you're insignificant in the overall picture.

It's not yours alone. Your entire base is parroting that . It's a desperate plea for turnout from your troops. Better hope it works.

I hear you. But I won't bring myself to vote for either of these two. As of now at least.

That being said, I'd think anyone on the far left would want a Trump victory. I think that gives them the best chance of getting in a liberal Dem in 2024. Otherwise, Biden wins and in 2024, it's either Biden again or the next Republican.

Biden's pretty clearly a one-termer. Guess it depends on the VP choice.

I doubt Joe makes it past 4 years if he's elected. He can barely complete a sentence.

So do you think if he was elected, then the Dems would replace him in 2024? Or are you saying that his age will petty much guarantee it's a one term deal?

I think Biden himself will make the decision.

Damn, that's optimistic. If he had that kind of humility and self awareness, I'd think he'd have not pursued it this year.

I think they'll try to make it a selling point since folks think he's not gonna make it through a first term anyway.
