What about the project veritas video that recently surfaced? What about the meeting after the election? What about all the evidence that they want to use the influence they have?

The job of politicians is quite literally to influence us, so obviously they do that day in day out, all day everyday. The job of corporations is to make money

You've heard of Edward bernays right, its right out the playbook.

There certainly political wars going on out there but that isn't what I'm getting at, the shareholders wouldn't put up with financial losses, their investment is purely for profit. If you were a shareholder at Google and we're taking losses because of the direction the company takes you would pull your money and invest elsewhere right, its ridiculous to think otherwise.

Don't get me wrong there is all sorts of manipulation going on out there, I just think its a stretch of the imagination that we live in a world where profit isn't the prime motivator.

And you think political influence doesn't eventually lead to profit? These are investors, not gamblers. They know the game. You need to open your eyes, my friend.

Maybe eventually, but that's a gamble not an investment.

You're delusional, friend. Take off the blinders. I'm sorry, but there's so much out there saying the contrary, including the companies execs themselves. Try my experiment. It's that simple to test the theory. You can do it with a lot of topics. Seriously. Do it.

I'm looking at this from the profit driven world we live in, using profit as a guide, you know the golden rule. Follow the money.

Then dig deeper. Why did they allow such losses for so long at YouTube after Google took over? Who funded it? They were building their monopoly. And now that they have it, they are booting the content creators that made them who they are to direct public opinion. You really think they're making money from purging conservatives!?

a reply to: sine.nomine

No doubt purging conservatives will result in losses.

I'm curious, do you use Google or facebook, YouTube etc?

a reply to: sine.nomine

I appreciate the civil debate

I have to get to my kids soccer game, turns out if your the coach you have to go even when you don't want to.

I use YouTube but not Google or Facebook or Twitter or anything else like that. I actually was subscribed to YouTube, but I cancelled after their last purge.

I wish I was somewhere where I could look up sources for what I'm saying. Unfortunately, I'm not.

It sounds to me like we're stalemating, so we can agree to disagree. It seems like the wrong thread to return to with more sources on the topic we've been debating because it's kind of a tangent. But I'm not ducking out if you'd like to continue discussing.

ETA: Just saw you last post. Get those kids to practice.

Gabbard is the best chance for the Democrat Party to win the Presidency by far.

I think she would win every debate against Trump. Why? She doesn't get triggered.

Calm cool and collected.

a reply to: highvein

She may be calm and cool, but she also wants to raise taxes, ban assault weapons.

She's just an attractive, calm, cool leftist.

S&F Letni. I watched the video. The point that I got out of it was that Tulsi is a non-conformist Democrat. I didn't watch the debates but what Niko said about her stand on election reform sounds like she isn't the typical pandering democrat. I'll still vote Trump but I'll have to find out more about her. Maybe she the candidate for 2024.

She is what Democrats used to be.... so she might as well call herself a Republican at this point.

Her big thing is she did some time in the sandbox and doesn't support all the useless wars.

Look at the video I posted of her and Colbert. He literally tried to tie David Duke and some other racists to her because they apparently mentioned they like her. He was grilling her on Assad and pulling out of the middle east. No way Colbert was asking these questions on his own. Any other politician that comes on his show it is all yuk, yuk, yuk and jokes... she gets on his show and now he wants to get into the weeds about war policy, etc.

It did look like Colbert was with venom, but damn, she did a fine job dealing with all that. If she had some sense on the 2nd, I'd vote for her. I really like her understanding of war and it's uselessness.

ever notice how people get into government having a little, but soon after, seem to have a lot? Insider trading is legal with them. And they have all the inside information, as they make policy. Who would you want to be friends with? With the way the media is tied into the democratic party, it's mind boggling that intelligent folks won't even question some of the facts.

I didn't say she was perfect.

a reply to: letni

As Democrats go she is better than most, but she has several untenable positions that make her unvoteable.

Tulsi Gabbard is what Mazie Hirono was in the 80's.

She is from Hawaii, that is a deal breaker for me, I was stationed in Hawaii in the 80's, they do NOT want to be part of the USA, at all. they hate the military there, all military, "if it wasn't for the military bases we would never have been bomb in WWII".

I heard that quite often from the locals there. they feel they have more in common with Samoa, than the USA.

I would never trust anyone from Hawaii. ( Obama's "birth" place )

It's like choosing between a severed spinal cord and a sucking chest wound.

One may be slightly less unpleasant than the other, but it'd still stink.

I don't see her as better or worse than most, she's pretty much checking all the "Why I'd never vote for you" boxes...

All the Left candidates are sort of like having donuts at a shop with piss poor dough. It doesn't really matter if you pick the powdered sugar, the chocolate, the sprinkles, the glazed, or the frosted donut... the dough underneath all tastes like the same crap-ass base donut so why even argue which donut's topping masks the flavor of SNIP more than the other options? Just go to a competing store and enjoy a quality donut that suits your entire palate.

Mazie? Her? OH NO!

a reply to: letni

She stood out in the dem debates.

Which was the entire point of those debates. To find someone that stands out among the dem runners.

Yeah she's ex military.

Check her out maybe you will like what you find and vote for her as dem nomination.

a reply to: DBCowboy

Well sure, but I know that I've been looking up stuff about her since the debates.

a reply to: Gothmog

Democratic 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday questioned the viability of the "Green New Deal.

"I have some concerns with the Green New Deal, and about some of the vagueness of the language in there, so I have not co-sponsored that resolution," the Hawaii congresswoman told ABC's "The View."
