I don’t see what this has to do with what I’ve said. I haven’t claimed otherwise. I don’t even like the guy and I wouldn’t have voted for him if I lived in the U.S.
Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.
Open to reconsider my views in light of good-faith counter-arguments but also willing to defend what’s right, even when it’s unpopular. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

Personally, I never have my radio on in the car and I near-always back into parking slots.
If you can’t make an argument for your view using your own words, then I’m not interested in going any further with this.
I don’t know what the vast majority of songs I listen to are about. I have some genetic defect that makes it near impossible to hear lyrics. It all sounds like melody to me.
questioning morals of not endorsing genocide
That’s a somewhat skewed lens to view it through, as not everyone agrees that what we’re seeing is a genocide. I definitely don’t think it is. I’m open to hearing arguments to the contrary, but so far, everyone I’ve tried discussing it with either gets emotionally captured or doesn’t argue honestly and in good faith, so the discussion goes nowhere.
I have said what I had to say on the topic and you seem to posses such a good mind-reading capabilities that I don’t think I’m needed for this discussion. I have no interest in engaging with people who result in personal attacks and accusations. Have a good debate.
I’ve been accused of being both Trump and Kamala supporter today despite not even living in the U.S.
Nope, I’m just a dispassionate observer who doesn’t think in binary. Trump is not all bad no more than Kamala is all good. Things are nuanced and complicated.
Also no, I don’t think people either lie 100% of the time or not at all, but I also don’t think you get to arbitrarily choose which is a lie and what is not based on which better fits your agenda.
…is an absolute statement in itself.
What’s beneficial to himself and the U.S. seems like the only thing he cares about.
“Make America Great Again” is his motto, and the actions he took during his first term mostly aligned with it, even if the outcomes didn’t always turn out as intended. If you don’t believe he means what he says, then I don’t think he should be criticized for the rest of what he says either - since he wouldn’t mean that, either.
He says he wants to end the war. Ending support doesn’t do that and I don’t see how Russia winning would be beneficial to the US.
What gets louder as it gets smaller?
A baby in a trash compactor.
Personally, I don’t see morals as entirely subjective.
I’d say that ‘worst possible misery for everyone’ is objectively bad and any attempt to move away from that is better.

Do you apply this same logic to Gaza considering their leadership?
Reddit says it was a Shahed drone. I can’t tell but seem to be missing the tail I’ve seen on most of the Ukrainian drones tho I neither can see the long nose that Shahed has.
I can’t imagine why they would have phones of any kind, let alone smartphones. If there’s any truth to this article I’d say it’s the Russians who went like ‘Oh, you’ve never seen porn before? Well check this out!’
I haven’t ever needed to wait. I go in, hand them my ID, they cross my name off the list, hand me the ballot, I go to the booth and write a number, dude stamps it, I drop it to the box and I’m out. Takes about 3 minutes from when I step out of my car untill I’m back in again.
That’s a really black and white way to look at it. These are complex issues. Any attempt to find a simple explanation to them is by definition going to be oversimplifying it massively.
the assumption that their compliments are all or mostly insincere
I disagree that this is being claimed here. Stereotypes don’t imply that everyone, or almost everyone in that group is like that.
This implies that U.S. stopping weapons deliveries would leave them without weapons and ammunation which is not the case. It would make things a lot harder for Ukraine and make them lose more soldiers and land but it wouldn’t stop the war. They’d rather die than submit to Russia. Also, U.S. is not their only weapons supplier.
