Both tweets are fake.

From Grammerly:

It is also customary to use less with regard to time, even though we can count time in seconds, minutes, hours, and so on.

Example:

Ethan has been at his job for less than five years.

I wish I could spend less time on household chores.

Yet, depending on how general or specific your reference to time is, it may require the use of fewer.

Example:

I wish I could spend fewer hours on household chores and more on watching television.


Both less and fewer are perfectly acceptable in this context.

I have less money, because I have fewer dollars. I have less time to live than them, because I have fewer years left.

Profitable for the rich. Defense for the rich. Both are points against.

  • strong profitable defense contractors

Why the hell is this supposed to be a point in favor? I don't support the military-industrial complex, because I'm not a right-winger or a hawk.

I'm aware. I've never voted Republican in my life and don't intend to.

You're trying to own me by intentionally misgendering some other random person. I hope you feel good about yourself. All you're doing is proving my assumption about you correct and vindicating me. You showed me everything I did here was 100% correct and justified and I would do it again.

I’m also the guy who started all this.

Then edit your comment.

Yeah, if your goal is just to wallow in misery and jack off about how right you (think you) are.

I’m not here to generate solutions, no idea why you keep asking for one.

Then your political position is worthless on it's face.

An example of how she could’ve distinguished herself successfully…

I already did. She could've said that the administration wanted to do more about inflation but was held back by Republicans in Congress. She could've also pointed a finger at the rich and say that she would do more to confront them and stop price gouging.

I’m not trying to present a plan... God knows

Ok, well some of us actually do have ideas on how to win and haven't resigned ourselves to this defeatist martyrdom nonsense. So, like, maybe we should toss out your ideas at least for a while and give mine a try, since they involve a practical, coherent strategy adapted to the present situation which you have no answer for.

Like why on earth would I ever come around to your position if you can't even come up with a theoretical solution to the most important political questions of our time? If even you see your political project as a sinking ship, I'm sure as hell not coming aboard.

Should be easy, given that the US has a much stronger propaganda platform than Russia no? /s

Of course, the US government has a stronger propaganda platform in the US than Russia has in the US. Political parties are not the US government though, so it's not really relevant to how a political party can promote a message.

It’s almost as if despite this being shown across all media, a massive amount of voters were still manipulated by foreign & right-wing propaganda into ignoring/dismissing it.

Or they just didn't see it or pay attention or they didn't believe Trump would do it based on their own reasoning. People can believe different things from you without the need to insert a malicious actor to explain the disagreement.

But ok, your position is that nobody has both the willingness or capability to counter foreign/right-wing propaganda. So, as I've asked several times now, what is your solution to this situation? Because it seems like your solution is just to whine about it.
