I'm not American. Can someone explain this to me? Why would you register a party you are aligned with? I'm Ireland we use proportional representation so most people will be voting for multiple parties in order of how closely they align with your views.

Anna from No Such Thing as a Fish recommended an Australian podcast called Smart Enough to Know Better years ago and I've been thoroughly enjoying both since. And I would say if you get the opportunity to see No Such Thing as a Fish live go for it. They are excellent live.
Voting for a 3rd party is a vote for Trump. If you think Trump is less genocidal I have some magic beans to sell you.
So you side with the Palestinians then. The innocent people being murdered so their land can be stolen. Glad we got that cleared up.
Why are you saying Palestine? Israel are claiming they are fighting Hamas. Hamas aren't interchangeable with Palestine. Israel are indiscriminately murdering innocent Palestinians, none of these people have "refused a ceasefire". Whats worse about all this is Hamas wouldn't even exist is Israel hadn't funded them.
Raised by Wolves was killed by David Zaslav when HBO was brought by Discovery. The is the reason Discovery switched from educational programmes to reality TV. He ruins everything he touches.
If you haven't seen it already check out Bobby Fingers on YouTube. Only 4 videos so far (all amazing) and is the other half of the Rubber Bandits. Very talented VFX artist
Smart Enough to Know Better - Australian podcast where two guys discuss things that interest then in a humorous way. Could be the latest astrophysics news, could be the location of stomachs and diet of a centaur.
What do you mean be rise up? What is the actual action you are calling for?
So what is your alternative? Don't choose the lesser evil and accept the greater evil? What rising up are you doing?
"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."

You are conflating Zionists and Jews. Fuck all the murderous Israelis. Most people don't care if they are Jewish or not.
What are you talking about with "indigenous to". Israel is a colony. It was created through the removal of the indigenous people.
The US healthcare system is a victim of a lack of government regulation. An essential service cannot be effectively be privatised because no matter how ineffective or expensive people have no choice but to use it. Why do you think every EU country has a higher life expectancy than the US? Could it be an effective government...
You still haven't clarified what you meant by "taught" in your previous comment, you still haven't clarified what the issue is with the very clear breakdown of government spending.
Libertarianism is an utterly stupid belief. It doesn't stand up to the most basic critical examination. You don't respond with any facts because you can't.
If you are worried about coming out swinging with insults try countering that with actually addressing questions. I know you won't.
This is such an idiotic take. First of all almost no one is paying 40% Do you not understand marginal tax rates? A single person in NY earning 100k has an effective rate of 31%. They would have to be earning at least 350k to hit 40%.
Government provision is the only efficient way to allocate common goods. You only see real inefficiency when a common good is privatised. Look at the absolute shit show that is the US health care system.
Hamas pretty much wouldn't exist if Israel wasn't funding them: https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-security-forces-escorted-suitcases-cash-hamas-qatar-report-2023-12?r=US&IR=T
And hamas certainly wouldn't exist if the Palestinian people weren't being murdered for their land for decades.
