thats why we have primaries, by all means, vote for who you want there Democrats haven't had a fair primary for three elections now, if they had one at all. If not for Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, head of the DNC in 2016, we probably would have had Bernie Sanders for president in 2016 and a Trump presidency might never have happened.

Yeah, did you care about civilian protester deaths just prior to this round of fighting? How many of their own civilians did they kill? Estimates range from 7000-40000 people. So now you want to give that same government, a death cult that loves hating any non-shia, a nuclear bomb out of fairness? That's so completely stupid and suicidal.

Yeah, remember how many that got nuked last time he was president? Gotta go watch Fallout: The Documentary.

Every time you use words like genocide to characterize whats going on over there you lose most of your audience. There's a difference between trying to systematically eliminate an entire people and not caring about civilian casualties. I've seen nothing to suggest Israel is trying to eliminate all Palestinians. If they are they are absolutely terrible at it. I have seen that its Hamas's stated goal to kill all the Jews though. They openly say that. Do you condemn the existence of Hamas then as well?

See you think that when the immigration floodgates open that we get the same crowd that comes here normally through the legal process just more of them, but it's not. The people doing it the legal way are willing to put in the hard work. People who just walk here demanding benefits, not so much. When the borders are open you get all the people who have no money, no education, and no employability. Just look at the stats. Some of these people are wanted criminals in their own country so coming here and getting free stuff was a no brainer. Bigot, bigot, bigot... Blah, blah, blah. I suppose I could explain why calling an entire group bigots has fitting hypocrisy to it, but digesting facts is apparently not your thing.

So are you saying the other countries that Iran had a treaty with don't matter? Just takes one? So if any other country backed out instead the treaty is also over? Iran didn't care if they violated a treaty with the others because they couldn't back it up. Either way, it would be crazy to let them have nukes. They just got done slaughtering tens of thousands of protesters. They should have been dealt with decades ago. The comment moderation in this conversation illustrates why Slashdot has died off so bad. Back in the day articles would normally get hundred of comments. Now they're lucky to get three dozen. Plenty of comments that are just outright name calling and mud slinging that get ignored but I get moderated a troll for having a different opinion.

The deal wasn't just with the US and Iran. Iran only officially killed the deal with the other signatories in 2025. So that would put Iran openly violating the treaty years ahead of rescinding it.

They themselves openly admitted to enriching uranium well beyond the agreed amount. What part of that is a success?

That's not what they are trying to say. They're saying, "Because keeping an armed military around is necessary to keep a free state, the ordinary citizen must also be allowed to have guns to protect themselves from the previously mentioned armed government."

That's because it was never about Elon or DOGE. It's anything Trump.

So let me get this straight. A poster makes a generalization about a continent filled with dozens of countries and that makes all Americans, a country bigger than Europe with people from every walk of life, brain rotted. You literally did the thing you accused the OP of.

So if starting and stopping isn't a big deal, why does it matter if a car's 100k miles are city or highway? Everyone knows city miles are way harder on cars. Now you want to add shutting the engine off to every stop. Think about it

Let me guess, you asked ChatGPT. You've probably never worked on a car a day in your life

How many cycles does your starter have, or your battery? Do you really think it's a good idea to have your coolant system stopping right after using your vehicle hard? For many of the components of your engine the greatest strain is in starting up. It really show that you know fuck all about cars that you can't think of any way it could be worse. This is where EVs shine, but it's not for ICE vehicles.

The thing is if you ask a mechanic if stopping and starting your engine over and over is bad for your engine, or at least parts of it, the answer is obviously yes.
