Frontex, as it's a border police force, prevents illegal border crossings into the EU.

A Spaniard cannot vote for a Finnish MEP, and a Finn cannot vote for a Spanish party.

Note that there's no requirement of national citizenship to vote for MEPs. So a Spaniard who lives in Finland can choose to vote for a Finnish MEP, instead of voting for a Spanish MEP.

I think this post greatly overestimates how many political disagreements depend on fact and science, and underestimates how many depend on values and morality.

Do you mean word problems?

The voting theory jargon is that there is a center squeeze when you use first-past-the-post with primaries. Ranked choice has the same problem, but to a lesser degree.

Being against kids dying isn’t a partisan issue.

Of course it is, Trump paused the program and Biden didn't. The reason that Trump paused the program is that he doesn't want to spend money on the program. He would rather spend money on other things, probably domestically on things in the US and on tax cuts. That's his whole agenda: America First. He doesn't care about other countries or the people in those countries. Thinking that both parties care about babies dying in some far away country is just hopeful thinking.

I’ll be rooting for Anora, but wow the awards process is dumb when you actually look at it.

If you want to dislike the awards process even more then you can read anonymous interviews from jury members, which make it clear that some in the jury don't watch that many movies and are generally uninformed – assuming the interviews aren't faked, as anonymous interviews easily are.

Also, I disliked Anora so I'll be rooting against it. :)

I don't usually comment about politics (or much of anything else) here so I don't really know how what I should write in these comments, but I think this is more about people wanting to know what Trump supporters are thinking than about determining what they are and aren't right about. If I was trying to prove whether or not my interpretation is correct I supposed I would do this differently.

Sorry for badgering you so much, I've appreciated the discussion. Some of the other Trump supporters here seemed to have very weird beliefs and values, but your values don't seem that far away from mine. I think I got a better understanding of why you think what you do (though of course I disagree on things). Thanks for answering a bunch of questions :)
