Syldon , to Politics in Trump attorney says voters mustn’t think that ex-president has legal problems

Then Trump’s lawyer should stop trying to stall the court dates. All could be sorted if they just went to court and made their case. Instead they keep using stupid stalling tactics in an attempt to push the verdict beyond the election time. All so Trump can pardon himself and avoid the issue of having to face up to his actions.

Probably because polling suggest many will vote for this idiot.

I kind of agree with this one. However, I feel that boat is sailing as any new candidate will have to build up credibility.

So his first amendment right is to call for the murder of the top military, disparage election processes and their employees, intimidate witnesses that are part of an investigation against him as well as the judiciaries in charge of that process. But no one in anyway shape or form are allowed to call him out on this.

That is voter share, that does not indicate that there are more over 50s than under 50s.

Don’t call them boomers then. Call them people over 50 or 60… they are a majority demographic-wise.

What? I responded to your reference. There are also more people under 50 than over 50. That is just plain ridiculous.

Baby boomers are pulling the average well above 50

Please show me where you are getting this from.

Younger immigrants can’t vote, so even asking young people to vote you still have a majority of old people that can vote.

What has immigration to do with age demographics? You are attacking people of a certain age with a generalisation then throwing a totally different issue into the mix in a feeble attempt to reinforce that argument.

I hate this idiotic boomer generalisation. It has no foundation in anyway shape or form. It is just culture wars that people buy into. Yes older people vote more, but they have the same statistics when they were young as the young do now. They haven’t spent their whole lives voting selfishly. In the UK the only reason you have more boomers in the group is because the group is based on 18 years and not 15 like the other groups. When you average out how many are in each group by year they come in 3rd lowest. The highest is the gen X. By the time these people were 18 they were not even the largest group then. People die leave the country and other emigrate in. It is just a stupid fallacy people have latched onto.

Germany promotes critical thinking in politics.

As I have already said, this should be part of our education system.

Shouldn’t be like that imo. We should be educating kids better.

@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

Part of that could be cured in the education system. The two main parties in the UK are happy that the country has an ignorance regarding the importance of voting. The US is very much the same. It is much easier to pander to a small voter base. If the kids start voting then this pushes strategies into the long grass.

The world could use more celebrities doing this. Kudos to her.

Syldon , to Work Reform in Wreck the economy because it only works for the billionaire class.
@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

That is just buying into accepting the current model where the rich can have it all at the expense of the poor. The model is the problem not the amount we have to distribute.

Syldon , to Politics in Child poverty in the United States just more than doubled. You can thank Joe Manchin.
