Political Question Does it feel like America is being constantly bombarded by propaganda to you?

665 Upvotes

It's clearly divisive and coordinated—and it permeates EVERYTHING. The same narratives keep being repeated over and over again, are you guys starting to feel it?

Political Question Why should younger generations want to bust their ass and work super hard, when they can literally look around the world and see that hard works isn’t what wins anymore?

565 Upvotes

I constantly hear people say that young people need to work for what they get, and I think most people agree. However, when you literally grew up watching your parents slave away, not get much for it, and you see what working themselves to death did to them…. Why would kids want to do that?

When children look at their still struggling parents or grandparents or other adults in their life who “did things the right way,” what’s the incentive to “do things the right way” anymore?

Now we can clearly see that greed, stepping on other people, not paying workers, etc is what makes people win. So again… where is the work hard incentive? Just not being homeless? Really bringing the American Dream alive.

Political Question Is no one else concerned that the United States Military is unable to conduct a 6 month war?

533 Upvotes

Exactly what happened? We don’t have equipment? We have generals saying the US is spread too thin? How? There aren’t even ground troops.

This doesn’t make any sense. There need to be congressional hearings to address this.

Political Question Why, after all this time, are we paying any attention to what Trump says about literally anything?

Scrolling through Reddit is like watching the same bad movie over and over again. We know he’s completely full of shit. We know his followers and are a laughing stock. When will this finally get old enough that we can just ignore grandpa and his insane behavior?

Political Question If democrats sweep the midterms as some predict, how will Donald Trump's revenge on America manifest?

189 Upvotes

We've seen how petty he is and how he likes to assert dominance by humiliation, so if republicans lose in the midterms, then not if but when Trump enacts his revenge on the country, how will he do it? What will it look like?

Political Question Shouldn't Democrats TRY having a "leftist" presidential candidate?

107 Upvotes

Everyone was shocked in 2016 and in 2024 but it's not like Trump's Democrat challenger was the direct opposite of him or much better. I just feel like there is no way to gauge where voters truly are if you have these senile racists/war hungry corrupt politicians pitted against each other.

Why won't Democrats try having a candidate that will bring universal healthcare so that a fascist like Trump can try spinning why it is a bad thing? The 2016 and 2024 candidates had no policy suggestions besides "imagine if Trump was your president. Waaazzyy wazooo!"

Political Question Tucker Carlson just dropped a nuclear warning, saying any president who actively considers first-use of nuclear weapons should be removed from office immediately. With Trump publicly threatening to hist Iran hard, is Carlson right to sound the alarm, or is this just more MAGA-on-MAGA panic theater?

General Question How is the Lindsay Clancy case that complicated?

79 Upvotes

Sure she had a psychotic break but she literally strangled all 3 of her kids to death. Plenty of school shooters or violent offenders also claim insanity (who also are neglected by the state) but get little to no support or sympathy. I just feel like if this lady gets away with systematically strangling three of her kids to death it is a perversion of justice.

General Question Why is it that so often children are expected to get over/forgive/let go of abusive or neglectful things their parents did to them and the parents never really have to take responsibility for their actions?

20 Upvotes

Especially adult children, it seems there is a cultural expectation that children should just shrug things off and be kind because “they’re your parents” or “they were doing their best.”

General Question Should there be an age when someone is considered too old to hold the most powerful political offices in the country?

Upvotes

Experience can be valuable in government, but concerns about health, cognitive ability, and generational representation tend to increase with age. Should voters decide entirely for themselves, or would some form of age limit make sense?
