I used to have TDS. I no longer blindly hate him or the people who like him as I was directed to for years.

Growth is a funny thing to watch in hindsight. I went from far-left to Ayn Rand within the space of just a few years because of exposure to the ideas and principles that are discussed in many Bitcoin circles.

This'll be the first election in 20+ years where I don't vote blue. Still undecided on whether I want to participate at all.

Last year is the last time I have participated in what I vote consider the slow descent into slavery (again) system. Voting signals consent to whatever happens, and I'm not cool with that anymore. Voting harder for us here. This is not where I want to be or go. Therefore, I will no longer vote.

That's where I'm torn. Participation legitimizes the system that's been constructed to keep us as docile tax slaves. But I hate a lot of the ideas and policy that come out of the left wing of the uniparty.

Yup. That's why I'm done with it, especially on the national level.

Its important to participate, many nation states require it or worse don’t allow it. Spoil your ballot. Tell them the choices are horrible

I disagree. I will not be part of the active polity, especially on the national level. Even if I don't vote, I'm active at a local level. I tend to voice things that others don't and I tend to become a thorn in the side of the local idiots.

And also, you can participate without voting. Voting shouldn't be the one thing you do to "participate" as a citizen.

I thought if you were waffling on voting, it would have been to much to push you to run. I appreciate your lack of care for the national level. In Canada its the one with the most power and ability to change individuals lives IMHO

I am an institutionalist i think its strength can out power the parties will. I preach the vote as a bare minimum that individuals should practice.

If your effective at the local level then you can get your needs met quicker than federally i agree.

I like challenging thought thank you

At this point in the US, it is not possible (IMO) to effect change from within the system, at least not in a time frame that matters to stem the tide of the imminent collapse of the dollar.

I know too little about the Canadian system since I tend to not worry much about what goes on in Canada except that it's a bellwether for the next Marxist BS that's going to be pushed by the WEF proxies like Castro's bastard.

They tricked me into voting once for someone else... I was just a kid. Thankfully I never voted for someone else again...

Stop voting for someone else. Vote for YOURSELF! It will be OK...

Void your ballot. Its important to participate but choose no candidates write bitcoin messages on your ballot. Make sure your voice is heard but not counted in positive in a system that has been taken under a two party system.

I voted for Obama twice. But the left lost me with the whole chicks with dicks stuff. Trump makes me laugh and Bitcoin taught me that it’s really a choice between robbers of your money and freedom and that’s why I figure I’ll pick the robber who at least makes me laugh.

And just like that, you’ve earned a new follower. GM🫂

back atcha 🫂

I stupidly and pathetically voted for Hillary and then Biden not because I supported them but because I was voting against what was I saw to be a dangerous, narcissistic demagogue. Since then I have gone deep down the bitcoin rabbit hole and become very libertarian. I see no reason to make the same mistake in reverse. Trump is not libertarian, nor is he a good person nor will he actually “drain the swamp” or do any of the stuff that he uses to win people over. They’ll keep printing dollars and funding endless wars no matter which clown party is in power until the empire either collapses or winds down.

Also, nobody seems to care about all of the horrifyingly authoritarian suggestions he’s made over the years, such as praising the dictator of the Philippines for his policy of mass murdering drug dealers to solve the drug problem. Of course, legalizing drugs couldn’t possibly be considered, that would be asinine.

When you spend your energy on positive things that actually have results it's hard to go back to negative things that produce nothing.

💯

Never had TDS.. voted R for the last couple elections on the federal level. Nothing really changes. Slowly realized it’s all a clown show. $35 trillion in debt and no serious discussion about it. Ya no none of these politicians are serious ppl. I’m not condoning it with my vote.

hey now, we are only at 34.951B. we won't hit 35T until next week! lol

😂😂😂😂

welcome to hell.

Truth calls to each of us.

Congratulations, you are willing to reconsider previously-formed opinions when presented with new information.

It takes work and most people are too lazy.

So what made you decide being lied to was alright? What made it stop bothering you?

I mean look, if you were blindly hating him. Maybe you had some educating to do.

Yes. I believe we may see an increase in bitcoin if trump wins

We also saw an increase of almost 50% during Biden.

You’re talking about POSSIBLE future personal gain. For yourself.

Elon is ready to back him because of these tax cuts. For future personal gain.

(I’m absolutely not advocating for Biden)

What would have happened if we adopted an isolation type foreign policy during hitler’s reign?

There’s countless reasons, but if you were caught up in an emotional, fact-less hatred… then ya I see your point.

My political views ossified into far left liberalism because of Iraq.

Disillusionment with lib politics started started probably in the Obama years, but I kept consuming mass media and it kept me more of less compliant.

I still don't like Trump, but the media coverage of the assassination attempt was eye opening and what I needed to really see how brainwashed I had been.

No I totally get the sympathy aspect of it. I do.

He’s still a human and this absolutely humanizes him even to the mainstream media.

HOWEVER

It was not the “media” that tried to DENY ELECTION RESULTS. That was the man, Donald Trump.

For years he has tried to normalize blatant lies.

What made you stop reacting to them? Like do you find yourself now believing false statistics and provable numbers?

I feel like maybe there's a disconnect. Trump lies and exaggerates a lot. I'm not endorsing the man, I'm only saying that I am no longer hating him like the media pushes people to do. I am no longer looking at him and automatically dismissing everything he says, or his policy proposals.

Both left and right are wrong about most everything as far as I'm concerned, because what they disagree on is how to spend other people's money, and how best to force compliance from people who disagree with them.

It’s not about right and left. It’s about right and wrong.

That was an unfortunate event. But it in no way made him any better of a man.

He still is the one who instigated Jan 6th on our democracy and on a building that we the people own, in an attempt to take power, from us.

Just remember that when you’re at the ballot box.

I'm done being gaslit. Vote your conscious but for me that means leaving the Dems behind. Whether that means RFK, a voided ballot, or the orange man, I'll figure that out when I get there.

I do wish you a pleasant evening though.

It’s good to remember there are people out there as propagandized as Armon. It helps you make sense of why the corrupt establishment still has some leverage.

But what others won’t do is enhance in a respect debate.

If I’m “propagandized” then just prove me wrong or answer the questions lol.

You nostr:npub1vyrx2prp0mne8pczrcvv38ahn5wahsl8hlceeu3f3aqyvmu8zh5s7kfy55 , are okay with being lied to? Or are you also finding yourself believing easily provable statistics and numbers that he lied about?

(Only during the debate)

I bet it’s propaganda to say anything bad about Jan 6th tho as well.

*engage

Probably just like it was antifa that did Jan 6th, you mean like that kind of “propaganda”? And direct blatant lies to the American people? Yes absolutely lol.

Or that Russia didn’t interfere with trumps first election. Because Putin said it wasn’t Russia. Remember that? lol

Propaganda, was that he said he won the election that he clearly lost to rambling old man.

Propaganda, would be to tell voters that fraud was committed to stir political violence because you lost an election fair and square. (Go ahead, post all your Alex jones links on GA election fraud 😂)

And I would be glad to debate anyone, on live camera, on YouTube, anytime. (:

You’re projecting.

And no lol. It was a genuine question.

If you want to sit here and say he does not lie, then you’re more delusional than Biden.

I’m actually asking, because I feel like you know that he does lie. Why does it not bother you?

Or do you really believe that GA election workers were stealing ballots lols

You can vote for RFK.

I could. I may. It doesn't really matter. I live in a state that's going to pick blue no matter what.
