You're getting into the electability space. It's widely accepted that Biden would probably beat Trump. But lets say they put up DeSantis instead. I think he could beat DeSantis too. Why? People don't care about his anti woke antics nearly as much as he thinks and most of all ABORTION. His Florida abortion law which he had a choice to derail is very extreme. He can be beat in the general based on that alone. Now if it's a non maga fascist republican then I would agree with you.

That's an interesting comment to me as someone who was not in the mainstream in the U.S. Maybe it's easier for such people to deal with the "alienation" of being an expat?

Cannabis addiction -- let's discuss
Jingthing replied to Jingthing's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
Yes but compared to alcohol, ciggies, heroin, speed, arguably even coffee, physical withdrawal from weed even when people are physically addicted which is much less common than psychological addiction is relatively a piece of cake. Also addiction to weed is much less harmful than those other things except coffee. -
Trump appeals verdict finding him liable for sexual assault
Jingthing replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
He appeals everything. He's an expert in how rich people experience a different justice system. All his life he's avoided major consequences for his life of crimes. A regular citizen would have been locked up long ago. His tactic now is to win the presidency, never give up the presidency, and then he's dodged prison for his entire life. It may work. -
Cannabis addiction -- let's discuss
Jingthing replied to Jingthing's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
Perhaps worth mentioning even though it has been discussed elsewhere before. In the context of at least being self aware of what level of dependency or addiction you have to cannabis, the truth is if you're doing THC rather than CBD it's a failed session if you don't get high. Do you feel the need to be very high every time or is a mild buzz pleasant enough? Weed is so often compared to alcohol so I will again. One can enjoy alcohol for the flavor, social times, etc. without the intention of getting drunk. Personally, I'm lucky enough not to be wired for alcohol abuse. The last time I drank to get drunk was New Year's Eve. So obviously once annually is no problem. To be clear, OF COURSE alcohol is a massively more serious public hazard than weed. That is because so many people become alcoholics and slowly kill themselves that way. Many people even choke on their own vomit if they drink too much. People don't die of weed addiction like that. I won't get into driving safety, whether driving high on weed is as dangerous as driving drunk. My personal feeling is that weed is safer but that doesn't prove anything. So what I'm suggesting is to at least have a self awareness of the potential of weed dependency, and the potential that might have negative impact on your life. Then maybe that will help the situation not get out of hand. -
All politicians have flaws. In politics it's almost always a choice between the lesser of two evils. In a Trump vs. Biden race which is the most likely at least at the moment, among Americans who support the rule of law, the constitution, respecting the norms of American democracy, real reality not "alternative" reality, who support democratic foreign allies more than authoritarian dictators like genocidal war criminal Putin, there is ZERO doubt which choice is better. That would be President Biden -- old age (Trump is almost as old), gaffes, falls, and all.
