Feel like my car shouldn't need an app to go offroading
The cybertrash needs a "car wash mode" so naturally it needs this for offroading.

Technology that reduces crashes and makes cars safer isn't increasing insurance rates. It's the greedy insurance companies increasing insurance rates. What we really need is a government option to reduce rates. Of course the best solution would be to reduce reliance on cars, but if we can't do that then we have to recognize how essential they are to living in the US and have the government provide insurance itself, especially since having insurance is mandated to drive a car.

Putting limits on overseas speculation on home purchases wouldn't hurt either.
Make that limits on speculation in general and you'll actually solve the problem in a large way. Japan had a problem with property prices in the 80s when speculation was rampant, but the problem went away when the bubble burst. The key was that the bubble stayed burst. In the US we had the bubble leading up to 2008 and then the geniuses in charge instituted too-big-to-fail policies that allowed the bubble to continue (after a brief dip in prices which let more speculators buy up properties on the cheap).

Which is disingenuous to point out. The president cant wave his magic pen to change state laws or the Supreme Court that was given a majority under Trump.

Your disingenuous spin in saying that is attempting to blame Biden for it in a roundabout way. As there's absolutely no point in bringing up "its happening under his watch" as if he did it, supported it, or had the power to stop it.
Yet when biden does have the power, like with stopping support for israel's campaign of genocide, he doesn't use that power. In fact he does the opposite and supplies them!

Paused until further investigation can be conducted. Biden is for a two state solution, he's said as much. But carry on with this fantasy that he'd rather hand over the country and the middle east to Trump.

He shouldn't. Talking didn't work. Sanctioning IDF didn't work. He should continue down the list of options and be given the opportunity to do so. But you were saying Biden is cool with a Trump win and is fine handing him the genocide problem or something dumb like that.
Biden has had plenty of opportunities to do something but has done nothing. Those sanctions you mentioned which were for a single idf battalion? Well... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/us-backtracks-on-decision-to-sanction-idf-unit/ar-AA1nJDgn

Biden would rather give up votes than actually do anything about *genocide*. Yes, that means biden wouldn't mind giving up votes he desperately needs against trump, which means he cares more about letting israel carry out its campaign of genocide than winning against trump.

do you think we are literally just giving them billions for free
Do you think it's not money just because you launder it through the military industrial complex? Giving "old equipment" is simply clearing the way to build more shit. In other words, those billions are getting spent one way or another. You can jump up another layer of redirection and claim that our tax dollars aren't paying for this, it's actually paid for by debt, but eventually things come back to reality and the system falls apart. The system is made complex on purpose because you can more easily hide corruption through complexity. Just look at the stock market and all the ridiculous instruments at play there.

Why is this still even a debate? Dead Palestinians in the ME < dead Palestinians/lgbtq/poc/women in America.

It's selfish, but last I checked, this was a mostly American board. And once again, you had your chance to remove Biden in the primaries.
You know what's even better? Stopping a genocide and gaining voters and preventing all the bad things trump would do. Tell me why biden MUST support *GENOCIDE*. I highlight the word because people here are being awfully dismissive of it.

Because they dont care about LGBTQ+ lives, they dont care about Ukraine, they dont care about reproductive rights, they dont care about climate change, and to be perfectly honest, they dont care about Palestine. They care about justifying their own laziness and apathy.

Have you learned nothing from last 10 years? The tea party took over Republican Party by being the reliable voters primary challengers fought over. Thats the strategy for taking over the party.
They also pushed out anyone who didn't agree with them. Meanwhile for democrats it's "vote blue even if poo" and to apparently accept genocide.

Wait. Why do we all agree on voting for Democrats every single time? I thought that teaches Democrats bad lessons and actually accelerates the GOP fascist takeover?

If that's not true, then I was right the entire time and there is no point to disagreeing with me.

And no shit we have to do more than vote. Doesn't change the fact that we need to vote.
Just because we agree on voting democrat every single time, doesn't mean that people at large will. There's also the problem where guaranteeing your vote means to democrats that they can take your vote for granted. Given that democrats have all the power here, what can they do to stop the genocide?

Well they're not going to go into detail because that would mean them actually doing something about it. Instead they'll say things like "trump is dangerous" and "we need to stop trump" because the only solution they propose is "vote for us".

If democrats can threaten us with republicans every single election, what's their incentive to do better? Moreover, if that's the strategy, and given that the two-party system will guarantee a republican victory at some point, what's stopping project 2025 from being project 2029 or project 2033 or project 2037? Feels like we're just delaying things instead of actually fixing them.

I think you're underestimating just how popular israel is with Americans. Obviously people like us understand that what's happening in Gaza is genocidal, But most religious folk, especially the religious right, see Israel as some bastion of holy land. They, unfortunately, don't really give a fuck what's happening in Gaza because they consider Israel's autonomy above everything else.

Biden would lose more support from them than support he would gain from preventing what's happening in Palestine. At least, that's how it reads to me.

I certainly wish I was wrong, but I don't think I am.

It's an election year, not voting and social unrest protest camping are the only options to scare Biden into sanctioning Isreal. We get it, you've been heard loud and clear. Sanctioning Isreal might also carry a worse effect as far as politics at home and how our enemies abroad respond. But losing this game of chicken to a second Trump term and all the horror that a project 2025 brings with it seems extremely foolhardy.
I don't think you do get it. Clearly biden and the democrats don't consider a trump term or project 2025 all that bad because they'd rather risk that happening than to stop supporting genocide. It's mindbogglingly stupid that they refuse to take on this obvious win-win of stopping genocide and getting voter support.

Our enemies see US support for genocide and can point to it as justification for their own horrific acts. It's extremely hypocritical of the US to have been thumping on and on about how moral they are in their support for Ukraine, but to then turn around and support genocide in Palestine. It makes it look like morality wasn't the reason for it at all, which affects voters' perceptions at home since that has been the main selling point made by politicians for use of the US military budget abroad.

Yes you people are. Saying to abstain from voting to put pressure on Biden means you are complicit with what Trump wants for Palestine, and women and minorities in America. Calling it a false premise is spreading misinformation
"You people"? Where did I tell anyone to abstain from voting? By the way, if biden is afraid of people not voting for him because of this, there's a very easy solution and as a bonus (more like the main benefit), he'd stop a genocide. Of course, YOU PEOPLE refuse to accept that biden has any agency and that he must support genocide for some reason.

Remember all those stories about car thefts (especially Kia Boys) and on a related note, retail theft?
How the glib left wing response was, "don't u have insurance, bro?"

Well, guess what happens when a shit load more people start making insurance claims!

And yeah, in the last 2 years my insurance has gone up 70% despite no accidents or claims. And because I have a Hyundai, I might not even be able to change insurance, b/c apparently a lot of them are refusing to cover them for new customers. Hurray!
That's not why insurance costs are up. Retailers were claiming that retail theft was why they were closing stores and jacking up prices, but it turns out thefts amounted to a negligible amount of loss. It was just an excuse to squeeze out more profits and you're eating it up.

I didn't say that. The stupid republicans who said that definitely meant it, but reality prevents it. There are layers between them and the actual launching of nukes. Even the president has layers between himself and the actual launching of nukes. Also, since they're such rabid supporters of israel, israel themselves who instruct them not to nuke because, again, israel is right there and would get hit with fallout.

Stupid republicans can talk about that all they want, but that would never happen, not only because of the geopolitical ramifications, but also because israel is right there and would be eating the fallout so they wouldn't allow it. Even if the blast and fallout could be entirely contained within Gaza, they wouldn't allow it because israel wants that land for themselves.

Where as Dems softly support Israel. But they do listen to criticism about Israel and do believe in two state land policy.

Remember Bibi wants replubcian to win because there will be no criticism towards from the USA.

I wouldn't call this "soft support": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86Nrv5izaTs

The two state proposal is a carrot hung in front of Palestinians that will never actually be given to them. It's a delay and pacify tactic that doubles as a cover for all the actions that the US takes directly against that goal, so they can claim "we tried!!" It's complete bullshit and it's strange that anyone believes the US is sincere in this stance.
