When’s the next special election? My guess is they won’t open back up until they can get another pedophile protector in there.

The anti-war statement is directed at the psychopaths doing the bombing. Showing them how people are suffering after being bombed doesn’t affect them. Its an attempt to show them how they might regret their own decisions. At the very least it might chip away at the people who support them.

The people who make movies about depressed soldiers are usually trying to make an anti-war statement. American is not homogenous. There are people who bomb without remorse and people who try to point that we shouldn’t do that. Bombing without remorse is not something that can only be tied to one country. It can be tied to psychopaths of which quite a few have weaseled their way into power.

I think I agree with you, but your messaging could use some work. I feel like most people who aren’t already in the same groups as you might struggle with the terms you use. It might be simpler to say “capitalism corrupts democracy” because my original read of the post made it seem like its anti democracy.

I struggle to find the points in your posts. Yes capitalism has a great many problems. I agree about doing something about it, but are you also suggesting democracy is bad?

I made no assumptions. If Bernie ran as an independent in 2016 he would have had a split vote with Hillary allowing Trump to win still. Most voters might not be loyal to a party, but enough of them are. Any third party will have to split their vote with one of the other two which will give the win to the party that doesn’t split. Its not naive, its how things work. I wish we could have a third party, which is why I support ranked-choice. We currently don’t have ranked-choice, so any third party will just hand the win to the worst party. I’m all for potential third parties to run in the primaries, but then they can’t be independents. Definitely no third parties in the general though.

There is no such thing as a viable third party in a two party system. Until our elections require 50 percent to win or have ranked-choice there will only ever be two parties. At best you could hope to replace one of the top two, but you would have to see a complete collapse in their support first. After seeing a significant portion still supporting the current admin, I don’t think complete collapse for either party will ever happen.

I haven’t hung out with anyone outside of a family gathering in years. I’m most comfortable at home alone. Thought I might eventually get lonely but so far hasnt happened.

One could argue that when they adopted them they became a new country or at least a new form of their country allowing them to lay new foudations.

Any law against gerrymandering passed by this congress will only target democrat states. I live in Missouri, a state completely run by Republicans, and in the last decade we have passed referendums on independent redistricting only for us to pass another referendum that gave the authority back to the governor before any independent redistricting could happen. We also recently had a referendum on banning ranked-choice voting. It had a provision that said only citizens can vote, something that was already a law, but because this state is full of fox news addicted morons it passed. Republicans have no interest in improving elections. They’d get rid of them entirely if they could, which they’ll be able to soon the way things are going.

The comment I responded to is a picture of Washington.

Washington reluctantly became president and then left after two terms, so no I don’t think using the presidency for tyranny was what he had in mind.

They don’t raise the standard of living for the poor because they view labor as a commodity. If we made things less difficult for the poor then the price of labor will go up because people wouldn’t be as desperate. Their goal is to make the price of labor as low as possible.

Wasn’t it a big thing when the white house was first built that they didn’t want it to be a palace? They wanted to make it clear that it was not meant for a king.

Of course everyone wants to make money. Its about HOW the money is made. If we lived in a meritocracy the way they claim, then you can measure how hard someone works by their wealth, and you’re gonna sit there and tell me there are people who work a BILLION times harder than the average person? Get the fuck outa here. Billionaires only exist because they are taking more than they deserve, and its gotta come from somewhere. They are stealing from all of us and devaluing our labor.

Will some reporter please just ask him what part of it is the hoax? Is he saying the whole thing was a hoax and that kids weren’t raped? That seems like such a basic question for a reporter to ask. He gets away with saying all this shit because reporters just let him.

Theses people think way too highly of themselves. All of them are easily replaceable.

I was so disappointed when this guy won his election. Less than a month before the election he denied a potentially innocent man a stay of execution even after the victim’s family asked him to. He is a straight up murderer as well as everyone who supports him.

So would it be safe to say that everyone should pull their money out of the stock market before Powell’s term is up? Its a good bet that whoever replaces him will just be a yes-man, and things will crash.

That’s why they got rid of all the military lawyers, so there is no one to tell them that the orders are illegal. These soldiers better read up on the law themselves because they will be vulnerable.
