I don't lie.
Tell that to the left. They seem to have missed that memo. By the way, the Forward Party is nothing but a clever front for being another leftist party. But, I'm fine with you taking votes away from Democrats. Go for it.You just can't stay focused. In Normal World, not everything is a binary, hyper-partisan fight. True story.
Coaches calling time outs in advance on the sideline during a field goal. Someday a kicker is going to try to stop (it's just human nature when you hear the whistle) and wreck her or his knee. The NCAA/NFL should come up with a rule that after 5 seconds are left on the play clock, no time outs on a field goal attempt
Holy shit. Transitory? I thought even you lefties had given up on the big lie. But, as I posted, I see the need for lefties to change the subject from inflation and recession to moral issues. You sure as hell aren't winning on the economy.Inflation is a transitory issue, not a moral issue.
The problem is that they're conditioned not to think. They're conditioned to accept what they're told without question and to disregard anything that doesn't come from the very people who are lying to them.
Prior to the 2016 election, I read an interview with the owner of an alt-right fake news site. When asked why there were no left wing fake news sites, he said they tried to start left wing sites but they failed every time. Within 10 minutes of a story going up, readers had fact checked it and completely debunked it. But if a story reflect the beliefs of right wing site readers, they never fact checked it.
When you ask these people what they stand for it's "American values", "freedom" or "patriotism". Something vague and undefined. The Republican Party doesn't even have a platform any more. Election campaigns are simply Republicans lying about and demonizing Democrats, and the Democrats trying to talk about the issues.
I have long believed that Donald Trump's "birther campaign" was market research on the gullibility of the American people. How many people could he convince of this lie and who were they? What he discovered is that 30% of the Republican Party would steadfastly believe the lie if it were properly promoted. If you can sell 30% of Republican voters on the lie, you only need to convince 20% of the voters to give you a chance.
Now Trump is selling the lie of the stolen election in the same way that he marketed his "birther" lie, and it's working just like before. MORE people believe the election was stolen today, than believed it 2 years ago. And they're prepared to make sure that Republicans don't lose another election.
But isn't inflation a moral issue if one of the causes of inflation is not paying for what you print money to buy, much like running up your credit card for things you have no intention of ever buying?Inflation is a transitory issue, not a moral issue.

Truth. Now that we will apparently have a pitch-clock, the same "freeze out" period can be added.Same thing with batters calling time just as the pitcher is about to throw.

This began with Rush Limbaugh, who convinced his flock that nothing the mass media said could be believed. Nothing. He trained them to believe it only if he said it or confirmed it. Then, of course, his radio, TV and later internet copycats all amplified this conditioning. Limbaugh was the Father of the Alternate Universe, and people like Hannity, Levin and Fox have been the willing enablers and primary architects of what we see now.Inflation is a transitory issue, not a moral issue.

This fully self-contained informational ecosystem existed before Trump arrived on the scene. He merely tapped into it and padlocked its door. I've occasionally compared the sociological aspects of this to the Europe of 75 years ago, but this is worse. This is 24/7/365 conditioning being poured into their minds in virtually every facet of their lives, it's deeply personal, and that kind of thing doesn't crack or fade away quickly. This is all new.

Same is true if you believe all or most of the political propaganda from the other major political party. Takes a little work but truth can be found with a little effort.Good post.
I often read stuff from “left wing” sites and disregard it once I look into the actual facts.
And that usually occurs not because they are lying but rather that they are getting into a lather over some minor issue and trying to make it sound bigger.
We need to fix a system that has put us in this situation.Right now the issue I struggle with is voting for the best qualified skilled and educated person for the job they are running for. Tend to lean independent liberal. but Never voted by political party. The hate is so strong that it is a fight & difficult to stay anything close to neutral.

OK. I'll take your word on that but I still find it rather interesting that at a time when inflation and the economy are most American's biggest issues, you're biggest struggle is with the death penalty? I'm actually a right leaning conservative in case you haven't guessed BUT I don't actually struggle with this issue at all because I go against the conservative grain on this issue. If you are against the murder of fetuses then you should also be against the murder of those incarcerated. Just like the left find a way to justify murdering fetuses, the right justify capital punishment. I also believe that rotting in jail for the rest of your life is more punishment than capital murder. I mean, once your dead, you probably aren't being punished anymore.
For you, evidently. We've all understood what you wrote just fine.So now I find myself wondering, why are so many people misunderstanding the OP? Is it:
A. Too complicated?
I'm not sure what all this means, but whatever you say. You're the smart one.For you, evidently. We've all understood what you wrote just fine.
"What one issue do you struggle with the most?"
"Hoping for an interesting, illuminating" {...blah, "The one major issue I struggle the most with is the death penalty.", blah , ...}
"What's yours?"
Today? Morons.
Hoping for an interesting, illuminating conversation here.
The one major issue I struggle the most with is the death penalty. My impulse is to be against the death penalty, because (a) I don't see it as a deterrent, and (b) because I kinda like the idea of letting someone rot for killing someone else. HOWEVER, if someone I love were murdered, I may want that killer to be made dead ASAP. I've never been in that position, so I can't tell how I would react.
What's yours?

Good. LISTEN! Stop supporting Big Insurance and Medicare Disadvantage.I'm not sure what all this means, but whatever you say. You're the smart one.
Limbaugh and others not only make the claim, but provide empirical evidence of how the media lies. Prior to that we could only believe what they reported on. The job of the media is no longer reporting. Now their job is to make up any story that draws an audience. It's all about money.
