I have a couple of grade school friends (I grew up in the metro Atlanta area) on Facebook bragging about how they voted for Jorgensen and nobody is replying to them since they're just seeking attention

An example

Idk why they think those two things are contradictory.

The real question is why this fucking state has so much power and basically gets to decide the entire elections.

I think there are arguments for either of them being worse, but I'd say that one thing about Trump is that essentially every bad thing Bush did he would probably have been willing to do. So he might be saved from being the "worse" president by his own incompetence.

It looks like in Massachusetts the governor would need a special election in 145 days, so might be "worth" doing regardless. Now that's dependent on whether you want her as treasury secretary regardless.

True, but you could be voting for how a certain goal is going to be done. That should be left to the people who will be putting money towards or actually doing the work

You cant claim to be fighting for the people if you never, you know...fight.

So like what did you want them to do? Find a way to delay the hearings by a few hours?

Ultimately I don't think it was going to make a difference. And I don't think their fruitless attempts would make any difference to voters.

They bluffed and had nothing to back it up. Oh well. This was decided when RBG died. Republicans are willing to lose the Senate for a justice.

You don't need to be directly, materially affected to feel insulted by people lying and pretending they did something you actually did.

That's true but in most circumstances being more than just annoyed at people who don't directly harm you or others is a waste of your effort.

Are you generally cool with people who deliberately lie, misrepresent themselves, and take credit for things they didnt do for personal gain and acclaim?

Nah, but it doesn't impact me personally when people e.g. fake doctorates. It doesn't devalue my own accolades or the work that I did, and mostly to get benefits from it people will at least nominally check that your credentials check out.

To be clear, I feel much differently about someone fraudulently trying to access something like VA benefits than "people were nice to this person because he said he was a veteran".

Eat More Beef posted...
I'm a combat vet, first of all.

And it affects me because there are certain things you go through that people who haven't gone through it, wouldn't understand. There are things I can only talk about to other combat vets and to violate my trust like that is gross.

You also form a bond, and you feel cheated when someone tries to piggy-back off that.

Please don't read that in an angry voice, by the way. I have no qualms about you asking the question, I'm simply responding.

A question to you, however. Why do you think it doesn't matter?

But don't you feel the same way about veterans who didn't see combat or exaggerate their experiences for sympathy as well?

Yeah I understand where they clash, but I also think there should be a limit at least for the sake of allowing new, fresher blood to be voted in rather then people who get to just sit down and have a life time position.

Like it'd give politicians more of a reason to try and appeal to the people in a perfect world.

Term limits tend to incentivize people to use their position to set themselves up for a nice lobbying/other gig post when their term expires.

But like, even if we were to play this game, I don't think people's best interest actually differs from place to place as much as people will make it seem. People play up that rhetoric only to breed division and allow systems like the current one, one that feeds the needs of those in charge over the needs of the people.

Yeah, as I've often said, there are very few "rural vs urban" divides that are explicitly based on where people live. E.g. Abortion isn't a "rural" issue, even if rural areas oppose it more.
