I think there does need to be some reigning in of spending.
We shouldn’t operate on an unbalanced budget as a normal course.
Keep in mind it’s mostly republicans blowing up the debt- tax breaks for people who don’t need tax breaks. Wars against people who weren’t a threat. Bailouts to company’s that then use the cash for a stock buy back… funding Israel…. There’s a shit load of problematic spending but it’s always health care and education and social safety nets first.
we shouldn’t have age verification at all.
First off, if your goal is to keep kids from porn, that’s not going to work. Kids will always find a way around whatever obstacles you put in their path. even back when porn was just a physical book you had to go into a special store with blacked out windows and flash an id to get, kids still got porn.
But it’s absolutely not about protecting children. It’s about monitoring the entire population and forcing adherence to whatever social rules those in power want to drop while making a buck off compromising everyone’s personal information.
My point is her explanation is “people were uncomfortable” as if that’s not a valid reason to ask someone to leave.
It is.
It very much is.
Especially if your security goons are acting like assholes questioning/stopping people, etc. (not saying they were but usually details like that will want as much control as they can legally take.)
Sanders claimed the restaurant asked her to leave because she made their employees feel threatened, a claim the restaurant directly refuted.
That’s… a valid reason to ask someone to leave.
Bwhaha.
This is gonna end well.
Doesn’t matter how evil you are, if you can be competent, all any one will say for a while is, “at least he’s not Trump”.
They fail the competency-caveat, though.
I find it interesting that you assume they would not have voted for Trump.
You know that Bernie lost the primary because the DNC cheated for Hilary, right?
Yes those documents were leaked by Russians. But they still existed. (Mostly, at least.)
The entire primary set up also is pretty biased. We don’t know how Bernie would have done outside a couple states because most states never got a primary vote.
Further, Hilary was soft amid the same people that were passionate for Bernie.
He might’ve been “boring” but he actually had a chance at winning and the DNC decided to fuck that up.
great. Open AI gonna be writing our laws now.
GOOD.
they should be afraid of more than just losing their jobs.
but we can’t afford healthcare.
or basic services.
With the price of gas?!? Use that stuff for fuel!
Daddy Warbucks gonna make sure the people pay for their shit.
It’s not backsliding if he’s always been a bigot.
And frankly, the way he deals with homelessness is bad enough for me to vociferously oppose him.
We need solutions that fix people’s problems, not feeds the prison slave labor industry.
Slap a tax for any company whose ceo makes some percentage more than its core work force.
We can get all fancy on the math, but their pay is not commensurate to the value they bring
and some form of ranked voting.
And maybe some form of nation-wide recall systems to deal with the fettermans of the world.
What’s to deliberate?
No kings. No fuckwits. No gaudy monstrosities!
I think we maybe need to force these idiots watch School House Rock again.
Maybe their voters, too.
by who’s standards of ‘centrist’?
American standards being between dem an gop?
yeah. fuck that.
between american politicians and europoe? maybe?
