Maybe I'm just feeling pessimistic...
If dems win then the republican gerrymandered states will find some way to actually weigh red votes more like having house members cast votes rather than using popular vote for state wide elections.
Blocking of voting rights reform by Sinema and Manchin...
So if a family runs with one parent staying home, that stay at home parent wouldn't get a vote? Also, all the tax dodging self employed folks that pay almost nothing wouldn't either?
How about the single mom working two full time jobs? She obviously should get 2 votes. Add to that the same mom...
Very true. Also, voter turnout in the US is really bad. I sort of feel like Trump has maximized GOP turnout but dems have not done the same. Heck, dems are apparently losing black voters now. It boggles the mind....
First, yes, I've voted for a third party. In college I liked that Nader was more strongly pro worker. I believed that it was important at the time. I was also in a strongly democratic state. I think we can all agree that we'd be in a better place of people in Florida didn't have Nader as an...
Every time, all across the country. GOP is inciting outrage for reelection in the backs of taxpayers. Countless audits and recounts. Disney tax status. Blocking ACA. It's all the same.
When with the GOP decide its time to govern and push America to a better place?
Incentive: if you ever want bailouts, tax breaks, or wrist slaps in the future, lower your prices. If not, we will let our biggest anti corporate legislators come up with ways to make you pay your fair share.
My issue remains in that somehow the blame for high gas prices is successfully placed on democrats and people pursuing green energy and environmental change. To date, none of these policies have really been the cause of increased prices. In addition, I'm sick of subsidizing them and letting them...
The GOP sheep will still blame Biden "regulations" even in the face of this truth.
It's time we passed a law similar to Warren's idea that would require a tax as a percentage of reported profits. You know these companies are somehow paying nothing or close to it.
A friend of mine has friends that have seen and posted his Facebook messages. Photos or guns. Posts glorifying rape. I don't have Facebook so I can't link but I trust the source. It's possible that it's exaggerated given typical internet telephone phenomenon, however given the statement from the...
Just look at the commentary of GOP supporters and how they talk to and threaten anyone that is not a cis-straight white "God-fearing" male.
I actually suspect that real percentages are worse but some people felt too guilty to report their inner thoughts.
Incidentally, I live near the Lily...
Honestly, I'm okay with the essay. The story I read (may be the same as I didn't read your link) indicated that he was struggling to fit in and was sucked in by this crowd that on the surface accepted him. Hopefully knowledge will give him understanding. He seems lost and still young enough to...
Funny thing about that. In MN, lawmakers managed their own pay for years. Democratic voters were okay with this as they avoided raises many years in a row. The conservatives demanded accountability and ended up pushing for an independent body to set the wages. This became a ballot initiative...
It seems all of these cases somehow end up going in the favor of R. When dems gerrymander at the state level, the Supreme Court claims they are racially drawing these lines. When the Rs do the same, the Supreme courts uphold the maps. The judiciary is biased and activist. The partisanship of the...
I thought it was pretty simple. She had her repeated phrases, slow speech, small words... It wasn't Trump level stupid, but it was. Around that 7-8th grade level that you are supposed to target for mass market.
They will call teachers lazy and further demonize them and teacher unions. They will backfill these positions with unqualified people and then opt out of testing to hide their poor performance.
Not only secondary, but easily given up as collateral to achieve power. These people would literally sell out their parents and children if it benefitted them. Sociopaths.
A. Twitter is not a public speech platform. The internet is. Go fire up your old Geocities site and spout nonsense.
B. Tweets being blocked are creating hostile environments for others, thus making it not open to everyone. So the block of tweets and some people actually makes it safe for more...
One of his victims died. Family descriptions make it appear like suicide, but they haven't confirmed. She can't testify. The other case was light due to his minor status. I agree, this is BS. It reminds me of that Stanford swimmer case.
The judge made the white decision. Now if this kid had...
Until the US guarantees timely access to health care for pregnant women, there can be no time limit.
Pregnancy tests are not all that reliable until you are at least 4 weeks pregnant, sometimes longer. When my wife found out she was pregnant she called 3 different Women's Health groups in a...
Inflation and gas prices are 100% corporate greed. Profits are at all time high for these companies. Late stage capitalism is the cause. The administration's only contribution is its lack of education for the voters.
Yeah. State laws can sometimes conflict with health privacy as described by federal regulations.
It's really bullshit considering people are going to the hospital for help. Attorneys don't have this obligation. It's another annoying example of control of health care workers.
The best course is...
I hadn't seen that from my brief review, but if true, anyone that did that should lose their license. No one was in immediate harm. The damage was already done so to speak. Health care privacy is pretty clear on this.
Yeah. Pretty shitty that a few people would take advantage of the situation. That said, the BLM movement is still important. Hopefully they can replace the leadership and move forward.
Except it's not. Sports teams are military, police, schools, roads... They are not required for a functioning society. It should have used optional "round up" at checkout or pull tabs to fund it. It should have an opt in tax.
I'd argue they shouldn't do that either. Taxes and tuition should go to education, teacher salaries and facilities. Let the sports run through local communities with monies raised though fundraisers and fees.
