Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

For a moment I'd like to step away from directly replying to your comment because every revision I write ends up being all caps screaming at you. Instead I'd like to ask you a question:
Do homeless people deserve to die? They have the option of getting a job and finding a place to live. They're choosing not to. They chose to live how they are, right? And the disease and crime that affects the community around them because they're cut off from government services like plumbing and mail... that's not an emergency, right? It's just normal.
Transitioning back to your covid denialism... let's step away from the people you explicitly write off and talk about the people you implicitly wish death upon:
Do disabled people deserve to die because you have an axe to grind with Trump supporters?
There's so goddamned much in your comment that it feels irresponsible to let even a single line go without direct confrontation. You repeat the covid denialist lies about "a pandemic of the unvaccinated." You ignore the effects of the virus in total. You ignore the scale of the pandemic today.
One last question: Do you even wear a mask in public anymore? Do you deserve to die if the answer is no? Do you deserve to be disabled for the rest of your life? Do the people in the grocery store deserve to die just because you walk past them?
Lol. You didn't just move the goalposts. You put them on a rocket and fired them into orbit.
elaborate
You're a fool that changes the topic of discussion when you find yourself losing an argument.
What topic did I change it from and to? You're talking nonsense. Every comment in the thread is about the Covid response.
Honestly please stop just saying the first reaction you have and give yourself time to think.
Lol.
You literally stated you were going to diverge from the back and forth you were having with the other person. Then you proceeded to ask a bunch of loaded questions about who they thought deserved to die, which had nothing to do with the contents of their comment. You were simply losing an argument and proceeded to shift to extreme, leading questions to draw attention away from your lack of ability to argue in good faith.
Like, are you not aware that there's a "context" button so I can review the entire exchange? You aren't very intelligent and it's really starting to show. That's why your trash response in which you launched the goalposts into space was downvoted by the community.
Be better.
Showing your ass with regards to functional literacy
What in God's name are you talking about
I'm not American, but from what I can see, CDC have a free program for Covid vaccines for those without insurance
Vaccination reduces death and other side effects 10x
If the disabled people aren't vaccinated, it's their own fault.
The only ones I feel sorry for are those with compromised immune systems or who can't vaccinate (for valid reasons)
However, those guys are also in trouble with the flu too unfortunately
That's over. It's 200 bucks now
You're a eugenicist then. There actually are people who can't be vaccinated because of health issues. And you're ignorant of more than that. Vaccinated people can still get the disease. And even asymptomatic cases have a high risk of long term effects.
Oh and by the way fucking no one's been getting the boosters for the new variants so you're writing off most of the human race.
Oh shoot I didn't read enough before I called you a eugenicist. You're sad about it. Well then.
Disabled and immunocompromised are two totally different things mate.. If you can't walk, you're considered disabled, but there is no reason you can't get vaccinated
And even many immunocompromised people can get vaccinated. To be blunt, anyone who actually knows an immunocompromised person isn't going to visit them when they have the flu, simply because there is no mandatory quarantine period.
The common cold, flu and herpes can kill immunocompromised people. So, I hope you're willing to isolate when you have a cold sore.. In fact, you could argue that almost every person on this planet is contagious for something at the moment.
As I said, with the exception for people who CANNOT get vaccinated, there is literally NO reason why they shouldn't have been vaccinated by the time Biden became president. And guess who was responsible for not isolating and telling people not to wear masks? His name sounds like Tramp.
It's very annoying when someone is this condescending and it's because they made a mistake while following the conversation.
People are disabled BY covid. Covid does both, in fact. Even if you're vaccinated.
None of the shit you're saying right now is honestly even relevant because you're talking about a vaccine only strategy that's entirely voluntary for the individual and that vaccine isn't going to stop the pandemic or even spare people from the effects of it over the long term.
Liberals today are now saying the exact same thing Trump cultists were saying in Aug 2020 word for fucking word.
One good reason is the vaccine didn't exist at that point >_>
NO. THAT WAS BIDEN AND THE LIBERALS. GET IT STRAIGHT.
When the fucking chuds were doing their fishnet mask protest bullshit it was still normal to mask. It wasn't until the DEMOCRATS started trying to manufacture the sociological construction of the end of the pandemic that all of a sudden it became weird to mask.

I know asking people to listen to something is a stretch but if you want an example of what I'm talking about, this podcast episode is reading a timeline so you can just skim through. I also recommend their Covid: year X episodes for a timeline of administrative actions. They're all very long I'm sorry.

You must have a short memory. In fact, Trump even harrassed Biden for wearing a mask during the debate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acSFjfyEx-o
Literally all I have to do is look at the dates on the URLs you linked
You didn't read my comment. You don't know what is even going on in this argument.
If you can't be bothered to put in even an iota of effort then just sit down and shut up
Nobody knows what's going on in this argument..
Because every response you make is some weird tangent. You get a link that shows trump sabotaging the covid response. And you think the date is what matters?
I bet you read books by checking the copyright
Hence why this comment is my last
If you can't even fucking pay attention to what's being said, like I fucking told you, sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up. I'm not kidding. Pay the fuck attention and make a salient point to the argument or don't fucking participate. I don't understand how this is so fucking hard for you.
Good
