What in the actual fuck are you talking about? You stupid idiot.

I guess sarcasm and nuance doesn't come across well in short posts on a forum - or people just binary categorize your posts to one extreme side or the other based on their paradigm.

Many people act as if she is actually running - it's kinda funny. I am not one of those people. We would do better to ignore her and not give her attention. At the same time, she is still a 'politician' and wants to raise money and be relevant. So she is always 'running' as in she will always be trying to get attention, raise money, connect with people, get on boards, etc. etc.

See how long that is to write? Read with some more discernment.

One big reason he beat Hillary. If Trump can make 2020 about his political accomplishments he has under his belt and how bad Biden is a corrupt 47-year career politician whose only accomplishment is a crime bill he has since apologized for, as well as Biden's mental decline, it will be a landslide. If Trump allows it to be about his offputting personality, it'll be much closer. It's Trump's to win or lose.

Off putting personality is an understatement

He went to a fundraiser full of his supporters knowing at the time he was covid positive. He is a very unique type of dickhead

Funny, since my threads are blowing up [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sorry you have low reading comprehension. Let's try it again big boy. You can do it. I'll put each question in it's own paragraph to help you focus [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If so, why not use them?

Pretty simple questions. I can understand if you continue to avoid/ignore these simple questions because answering them would expose your incoherent view [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There is a vaccine for the flu and its transmission habits are well documented with lower death rates overall. Covid is a novel virus with many unknowns, no vaccine, and higher death rates for the elderly. Hope that helps.

There it is. Thank you!

Implicit in your answer are a few statements.

You seem to be saying you don't support mandated masking, economic shutdown, or other such measures to protect against flu. If that's incorrect, feel free to correct me.

This means you are okay with some people getting sick of flu and dying so you can maintain your freedom from forced masking, closing your business, closing your kid's schools, etc.

What is your threshold? Is it number of deaths, a vaccine being available, or some other trigger that made you make the change for COVID?

I am genuinely curious.

Then the final question: we both are okay with sickness and death to degree to maintain our own freedom/finances. Why is someone with a higher threshold than you wrong? Why is someone with a lower threshold than you wrong?

Then you'll start to see the people you are arguing against aren't crazy, they just value freedom more or less than you.

Final thoughts on this.

• Flu Vaccine isn't 100%. It varies from season to season and depends which flu type is going around. It ranges from lowering your chances of catching it from 30-70%. Hundreds of thousands of people die every year, even with a vaccine. Flu is a deadly killer. We're just used to it coming around ever year.
• COVID is a flu-like virus. We know a lot about how it spreads.
• Yes, COVID is more deadly for the 70+ group. The biggest hit were poorly run nursing homes who had terrible responses. That doesn't require an economic shutdown or mandated universal masking to combat. Our measures can be much more targeted than that.
