Kudos to this young man who did not yell, scream or curse at Charlie Kirk because of differing views. He listened and admitted when he didn’t know things. It is the way a conversation about differing viewpoints should be done. His peers should take notice!

Hoping this kid ends up voting for Trump!

[@pepwaverley2185]

I'm convinced he will. It's not always obvious and needs to be pointed out. We had a similar situation in UK recently. It's taken a _long_ time to get the message across that it was necessary to get the Tories out - and that that could only happen by getting Labour in. Reform (the radical choice) wasn't an option in many constituencies so splitting the vote among the minor parties was a very real possibility, again. Thanfully it worked - altough we're all questioning to what end after only 100 days already!

His views aren't necessarily wrong, they're just a gamble. Most of us would more align with the libertarian party, but we choose to support the less evil of the two parties who can win.

@@heythere4970 Libertarians are just as necessary as any other political group. They bring their own concerns and own approach to our government.

When I was homeless and shooting fentanyl, crack & meth in San Francisco back in 2017, the cops would be 5 feet away from me and wouldn't do anything because the laws that the dems made, they couldn't do anything to stop me. Thank God I got arrested in the next county over that had harsher laws so that when I got caught, I actually wanted to change. I am sober now thanks to that. That same police officer that arrested me was watching over me when I got sober. I actually got pneumonia during my time of getting sober. I almost died, and the only reason I lived was because the officer found me and carried me to the hospital. I was anti trump while I was using because I knew that as long as a Democrat was in power, I would be allowed to use drugs with no consequences. Thank God for the officer that saved me and Trump for saving our country.

@@apokatastasian2831 When it comes to the most important election in US history, yes it is, dude can vote for mr wont win another time.

@@JesseDrift its been the most important election every single year i've been alive...i've heard that argument about 3rd parties forever. IT WILL NEVER END. the 2 party system is designed to make it more importanter ever time, it drives extremis aren't you tired of buying into the con that gives you redman vs blueman forever? if you want to vote for redman, do it. i'm going to as well but lets not pretend that's somehow better or more important than not having a locked up fugazi democracy where they hand pick 2 people for us every year. I'm voting for trump simply because he isn't one of theirs...the GOP has admitted outsiders reluctantly ...didnt stop them from trying to vomit nikki haley on my shoes at full force. if they had done that again, i'd be voting libertarian too on principle

That's the stupidest view, "I'm gonna waste my vote on someone I know isn't going to win now, just for something that isn't going to help us now" Why do that when you agree that things were better under Trump, then just give him your vote and do your other party stuff later.

Charlie, take a listen to “the sixth sense” by Samson!! He’s fricken awesome!

[@TubThumper6969]

Thank me later

Don’t agree on everything, but I agree with Charlie on what matters and what needs fixing immediately here.

It seems like Charlie is conflating legalization with decriminalization. The issue with Oregon and San Francisco is that their soft on crime . Decriminalization does not make drugs legal. It simply means you will not go to jail for it.
