Seems like a bit of an issue to assume the worst of people. Would lead to some quick damnations of people.

Because you aren't a person worth responding to. I have absolutely no reason to believe you say a word in good faith. Go away.
Well part of the basis of this forum is trying to accept good faith. I should point out you are also actually responding to me here.
I don't see why you wouldn't wish to clarify your position and make it very clear you don't support anyone breaking into congress and trying to subvert democracy.
Nor do I see why you wouldn't at least try some level of dealing in good faith. If it's just constant agreement or worse an echochamber to rile people up in then there are a number of subreddits that willy happily oblige.
Nick can ban me again I don’t care. Honesty is the best policy, imo.
Edit: In any case, you’re the one bringing it up. I’m fine with ignoring him until he starts acting shit again.
Oh, and Venezuela had some fire for the US, because their democracy is healthier than ours.
You don't say...
Wait... oh, Dwarf’s going on that tangent as a proxy for discussing the mod shit. Fuck, I’d assumed it was just pedantry.
If you want to see what "rationally discussing an alternate view point, giving balance to a conversation" looks like
It makes you look like a moron. lol radical beanie man.

To be fair I had my money on either dinosaurs from the center of the earth invasion, or a new strain of Covid that turns people into zombies. So at least we're beating the spread.
From my perception (as some-one not from the USA admittedly)
Trump for better or worse cut some less essential but pricey committees and other things funding things that as much as I care for are non essential. Though he did cut some stuff more worthwhile too. But bring back the good and leave the less needed things is likely beneficial and Biden doesn't have to face the backlash of culling said things.
North Korea has stopped saber rattling. Russia has stopped Saber. China is having something done about it (that embassy / consulate being closed). There has been no new war started. Spoiler for those who may not know the US has been a laughing stock for years and was all throughout the Bush Era. Obama was a break from it being a laughing stock. Hell Trumps incompetence has helped because now the border camps are being brought up and the separation of children.
For a competent politician you're 2 months from returning to the end of the Obama era levels of stuff or better really and thanks to Trump being incompetent there's areas highlighted to fix now.
Yes the US is more divided but it was going that way anyway.
How Hatred Came To Dominate American Politics
To anyone following American politics, it’s not exactly news that Democrats and Republicans don’t like each other. Take what happened in the presidential debate…

No-ones economy is the best right now except China who are still facing calls from some EU leader to pay a fine of some kind for their actions in covering up the pandemic etc.
Hospitals were going to struggle almost certainly anyway and the evictions stuff because of the pandemic and a we've learned basically no government in the world has done that well (except New Zealand) as most can't seal themselves off as much.
Trump was liked seemingly because he gave the illusion of caring. Gave the illusion of being some-one to shake up a system that already wasn't working for said people. E.G. Hillary and the exclusive country club lunches, Trump sending a Truck load of supplies to help flood victims. If it had been Obama vs Trump I'm 99% sure Obama would have walked out from those lunches and been organising lorries to send down there.
Trump went to rust belt states and gave them hope (false hope admittedly) but hope non less which yeh when they feel like they're being abandoned can do a lot I'd imagine.
I prefer the one where it says "Trump supporters test the effectiveness of walls as a deterrent" showing all the people climbing over the Capitol wall.
Didn't they just have an attempted violent coup or was that some-one else?
Well that's section 230 gone by executive order then. See whoever starts throwing the lawsuits in court lol
I didn't say it made you a bad person.
You know if you'd watched some of his stuff and not just taken social media hot takes and some thumbnails to inform you on his position you'd actually see Tim Pool feared things going this was. This was what he said would happen and he feared it would go down like this. This wasn't him celebrating. This wasn't him pushing for it. This was him finding out something bad he saw coming in part came to pass.
Look you've still got murder hornets for spring.
