I was hardly bragging, my degree is not something Im particularly proud of.

It is a piece of paper, however, that credentials me as being part of the technocratic system.

"The left disappointed us for Gaza, but Trump will be much worse."

The left "disappointed" you? That's a quaint way to describe material, personnel, logistical and diplomatic cover for a genocide. Real cute.

By contrast, all we have on Trump are mean tweets and executing a (stupid) decision by Congress to move the embassy.

"how do you judge the accuracy of the French documentary you watched? Who financed it?"

It's one of a vast volume of data that have definitively proven Biden's role. It is coherent other sources in a way that the narrative we're fed by the likes of The Economist isn't. The French made an easily digestible documentary for those who want to wade into a complicated story. It's a starting point. Prof. Cohen's another.

Btw, Hunter Biden's laptop - now validated in court - acknowledges Biden's culpability and form part of the whole of evidence.

"Even in a far fetched scenario where you believe Putin felt threaten with NATO closer to his borders - does that suddenly make it ok for him to invade a sovereign state?"

Do we really need to list the countries Democrat and GOP presidents have invaded for BS reasons? And Putin invaded for the genocide Banderites were committing in Donetsk. I have friends in Donetsk, so I have primary sources.

"Especially given they made an agreement to respect their territory in exchange for Ukraine giving up their nukes?"

The agreement also required Ukrainian neutrality,m. Meanwhile, Zelensky publicly declared in late '21 he wanted nukes. Anyway, there were the Minsk II accords that the Ukr. were in violation of.

"PS: Stein is fully in Putin's pocket. Don't buy the Green Party BS who only exists for a few months every 4 years."

Im not afraid of Putin. I'm afraid of the Lobby class in DC.

Biden has been meddling in Ukraine since the Maidan back in '14. He was basically in charge of the country after Maidan under Obama. Not enough has been written about this, but there's enough including a French documentary released back in 2018 or 2019.

I have friends from the "wrong side" of Ukraine and their family has been shelled by Kiev since Maidan.

As to Gaza, I see Trump and Kamala tied. I have to project Biden's admin onto her because otherwise she is completely devoid of content to judge her with. And this admin's record is that of Bibi bandolier.

So on the bloodshed in Gaza they're tied. On the blood spilt in Ukraine Trump's ahead. Advantage Trump.

Which leads me to Dr. Stein. A courageous Jewish woman who has the backbone to stand up to Bibi.

EDIT: if you want to know more about it Stephen F Cohen, a lifelong liberal married to the editor of "The Nation" wrote a book about it "War with Russia?". It came out in '19 based on his weekly interviews by John Batchelor. Prof. Cohen died in '20 ('21?)

Why do I loath Biden? I blame him for the war in Ukraine from back when he was made vicar in 2014.

Similarly, I'm aghast with the war in Gaza, so I was on the fence on Trump.

I'm against the war in Gaza and I believe the world is too globalized driving a lot of our modern ills.

Ya, after I posted this comment I looked harder and found it. That layout is very busy, but I get it the Dm42 has fewer keys.

Again, thanks for the project my 48Gs are getting old and the screens always sucked, and the UI always felt slow compared to my 28S.

Are you the author?

Man thanks! I know I criticized it a bit on here, but really it's nitpicking. Oh, and I found the apostrophe.

To file a bug Id have to try again to see what my issues were and I really don't have time this semester.

They paid me (poorly). As to better prospects, meh. I graduated with an engineering degree in the naughts.

Better evidence than party affiliation though.

Love your intellectual curiosity. The choice down to Stein vs Trump didn't raise any eyebrows?

Or why did I single out Biden for loathing and not Kamala (I pity) or the Democratic party?

I think Trump won college educated white women. In fact, I think he did better in every demographic? Most of them for sure.

So to blame this on "unmarried white men" is counter productive.

Wouldn't be the first time though. I'd old timers remember Bouchard.

Granted, the last time the Bloc was Her Majesty's loyal opposition, the incumbent party collapsed, never recovered, and was swallowed by its rival.

When's the last time Trudeau won a plurality of votes?

Canada's electoral system is extremely non-linear. The US' electoral college is far far more linear wrt popular vote than parliamentary elections, generally, and Canada's in particular.

Meh, I have a PhD in engineering from a top five school and I was in between Dr Stein and Trump.

Some people really loath Biden (me), the Democrats and/or Harris.
