Moderate Politics

It is unfortunate that many people are reluctant to embrace change and expand their knowledge and understanding of the world around them. This can lead to the projection of self-hatred or fear onto those who live differently from them. In time, it seems that politicians may look to make any same-sex relationship seen as pornographic, and if done around children, sexually exposing oneself around children. I wonder if this might be perceived as hypocritical, given that in Disney movies and elsewhere, we have long seen examples of heterosexual couples engaging in intimate activities. We respect your right to your beliefs and ask for only a little more understanding so that we can live in peace and harmony together. Should the need arise in the future to advocate for the rights to live and love as we see fit, we ask that Christians join us in this endeavor. As your exemplar, Jesus stood with the marginalized and embraced those who were unlike him. We ask that you consider doing the same.

I am concerned that we may have reached a point where it is no longer feasible to stop history from repeating itself. However, there are ways we can still combat the challenges that have arisen.

Let's imagine an alternative future where we can all flourish and grow, fostering understanding and mutual respect. This could be a world where peace and prosperity can thrive. This vision challenges us to rethink our approach to global issues and to each other. It suggests a pathway towards a more productive and peaceful world.

You may be wondering how we intend to approach this task. Our goal is to cultivate understanding and harmony between governments and cultures, aiming for a state of utopia where research and science can flourish more effectively. Furthermore, we hope to enhance the trading capabilities and volume. A place where all religions, sexual orientations and more can live side by side in peace. Whether you're Christian, Norse Pagan or part of the Satanic Temple – we're all human, and all deserve love and respect.

Btw I am willing to hear feedback and others thoughts but if possible let’s keep it civilized please.

In the upcoming 2025 election cycle, the Republican Party is poised to elect a candidate with values strikingly similar to those of Adolf Hitler. As many have been cautioning, this is a repeat of history.

Members of the LGBTQ+ community are experiencing heightened levels of anxiety and distress. They feel unsafe in their ability to express love and affection in public spaces, where they may face violence or even arrest for simply holding hands.

Furthermore, Ladies I urge you to consider this matter carefully. The Republican Party is seeking to restrict your access to birth control, contraceptives, and other forms of reproductive health care. Their proposed legislation would effectively define sex as solely for the purpose of reproduction, excluding any other forms of sexual expression.

It is my hope that others will eventually be able to comprehend the nuances of the situation and not unquestioningly follow the lead of someone with few values that align with your own. Instead, I encourage you to consider the greater good and the safety of your fellow citizens.

The Republican Party is prepared to engage in conflict, whereas we are simply seeking to live in peace and harmony.

A discrepancy exists in the perception of love between same-gender couples and heterosexual couples. While the former is considered pornographic, the latter is not.

Finally, I would like to address those who identify as Republican or Christian. If you or anyone in your family is married to another race, their marriage will become illegal in 2025 if Trump wins. This would result in a significant shift in the country's social and legal landscape, reminiscent of the 1900s.

Let us endeavor to cultivate love and understanding. For the future of humanity, we must act now to avoid self-destruction.

Agenda 47

I would like to share this mock bill that I created in Social Studies 12th grade. It only took me about five to ten minutes, and I know it’s not exactly current politics. Perhaps one day we can strive to move in this direction.

My heart goes out to all of the victims of the Hawaiian fires. That's terrifying to imagine a fire sweeping through a community that quickly.

You can post anything here, it doesn't even have to be about politics. That said, I'd love to hear what you all think of the indictment!

EDIT: I would like to ask people in the comment section to respect community info. This is not c/politics. Thank you.

Found this on hacker news and wanted to post it here. It's fascinating to see how quickly the Earth is heating and just how anomalous the temperature is this year.

The new law is madness. If this happened in the US people would riot, and rightfully so in my opinion.

I rarely read this sort of thing. It's honestly just very dense and I can't motivate myself to read it every day. That said, with the new cluster bombs getting shipped to Ukraine and some Western pundits accusing the Counteroffensive of stagnation I kind of just wanted to know, "What the actual F is going on in Ukraine right now?"

So my partial TLDR is:

• It's very early in the counteroffensive to say who is "winning".
• The source publication believes that the Ukrainian Army is focusing on inflicting disproportionate casualties onto the Russian Military in lieu of focusing on taking back land as quickly as possible.
• There's a lot of uncertainty inside the Russian political sphere and the upper echelons of the Ministry of Defense.

Personally, I hate politico. I don't think they're unbiased and I don't think they have good coverage. Nonetheless I wanted to bring up abortion.

I find it hard to believe that the GOPs attacks on abortion actually matter that much politically. I believe they matter for women's right but that's out of scope of this post. I don't know how many states are actually going to swing blue just because the GOP repealed Roe v Wade. "The Base" is locked into the Trump train. 80% of republicans support trump even though he was instrumental in, and took credit for, the abortion ban.

I really think it seems like they're going to get destroyed. Trump still has a grip in the party, as evident by the number of people supporting in as he continues to go through legal woes.

I'm interested to see how Christy does. I don't think he's going to win but I do want to see him try to pick on Trump.
