The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"As someone else said, the candidates on the ballot in November are two heads of the same snake."

Anyone who says this literally has had their head buried so far up their ass that they are intimate with their colon.

How can you compare a party that wants to bring healthcare to more people to one who wants to cut healthcare to poor people in order to give billionaires more tax breaks, then say they are the same?

How can you compare a party that wants to support Israel as the only democracy in the Middle East, but decries Israel's biggest human rights abuses and attempts to reign then in, versus the other party who has gone to war in the Middle East for Israel twice in the past generation and say those parties are the same?

How can you compare a party that wants to protect citizens by preventing the worst environmental abuses by corporations and the other that destroys all environmental protections whenever they can and say they are the same?

The list showing huge differences between the two can go on and on. How can you not see this?
