Stalking him?

No, just found a funny meme thing on the socials, and thought I'd share for amusement value...

No I mean the shooter was stalking Trump?

Possible, seems a certifiable crazy person from some of the articles I've read on his background and history.

he didn't shoot

Not with his gun anyway... maybe his other semi was getting close at the time though?

does an NBC poll's favourability rating actually translate to votes ?

seems like a stretch to me

Actually it means zip when it comes to electoral college votes.

I suppose it indicates momentum.

Interesting article about how big business influence and manipulate voter opinions against governments who aren't doing their big business bidding, with a local context.

How to avoid being conned by lobby groups using you to pressure the government

The recent onslaught from big business against Anthony Albanese is an example of lobbyists trying to pressure the government via the voters.

www.smh.com.au

Thought provoking in light of some of the opinions parroted in this thread, and also on occasion in the 'infrastructure' thread.

Reasons why I'm not religious, and believe in the politics of equity...

What about the system that is ripping us all off blind?

Is that discussed in the TL | DR posts...?

I agree, capitalism robs us all (the 99%) blind.

But do you have any points of disagreement with the text...

(C'mon, there's only three games of NRL left for the season and only one where the result seems up for grabs... I'm just trying to start some conversations!)

Lots. The idea that religion is about division, and everything else isn’t is dumb and misguided.

People are inherently self interested. Self interested people suggesting religion is a problem need to self reflect.

 

[the phantom menace]

But the meme you criticise specifically says "Beware of any ideology... be it historical, political, or religious".

So it's not claiming religion is about division and everything else isn't, as you claimed.

It is saying to beware of any divisive ideology, including but not limited to religious ideology. Do you have any points of disagreement with the actual meme content?
