That’s actually pretty good. Maybe it’ll say something?

Isn’t this kind of posting just feeding into said noise machine?

There’s certainly a difference in domestic policy that makes it clear what choice to make when we’re forced into this idiotic 2 party situation. There isn’t much of a difference when it comes to foreign policy, so the rest of the world doesn’t really care which of “the 2 parties” we pick. Maybe there are too few options, and maybe we shouldn’t blindly support one guy just because the other guy is worse.

Seriously I don’t understand how Biden isn’t a shoo in. He’s such an old school conservative centrist lowest common denominator. The general public would shit their pants if we actually had a president with morals.

I appreciate the attention to accuracy in your numbering

Is that the only part you read? There was a bit of explanation before that conclusion. You’re going to have to address the substance of my argument if you’re going to make a real counter argument. The reply you just gave me is ‘nuh uh’

That is technically true, but practically not so much. The way our elections are currently run, there are 2 candidates (again this is the practical truth not the technical truth). When turnout is high democrats win, and voting 3rd party for president is essentially the same as not voting at all. That’s what people mean, that unless it’s a vote for Biden, then it’s automatically a vote for Trump.

To be clear, I don’t like this, it’s incredibly stupid and I want to be able to vote for actually good candidates. But that is not the current reality in the states. Vote 3rd party in your local elections and campaign for them too. That’s where it’s still possible to make that happen and lay the ground work for better choices in the future.

That’s not misinformation. That’s just unfortunate and an indictment of our current elections system.

It’s a stupid move, does nothing but alienate voters. I’m not saying NH should be first, a better change would be to make it one day nationally, or maybe a couple batches if we really need that (but I don’t think we do).

Looks like Biden sent the most paper

They don’t have to cross the isle, they just need to abstain.

The mostly likely replacement at this point is probably the Democrat Jeffries, assuming the dems are still united on that front. I don’t know who of the gop would be able to swing the whole party at this point.

She hasn’t changed much at all, she was never a socialist. She and Bernie, despite what they call themselves, are Social Democrats. They are left leaning capitalists, which I say is better than the moderate Dems like Pelosi. In the same way that capitalism was an improvement on the feudalism before it.

Hey, if AOC is the new center I think that’s progress. As long as we can continue to elect people further to the left we’ll be able to continue to shift the party to a better place.

Not that it’d be a real possibility of happening but…

Would it make sense to have a wealth limit on politicians? It doesn’t really make sense to have the leaders be the ones who most benefit from the current system if we want it to change for the better of the masses. But if we made a law that was something like, “if your wealth puts you above the 70th percentile of Americans, you are not eligible for public office and are immediately removed”, would that have any major downsides? Would that be better than our current system? Is that unethical in some way? Just a thought sparked by this headline.

… then who the fuck does?

Upvoted for having the full article in the description of the post.

Yes please

What a sad pathetic life of getting so upset at the most unimportant things.

“We ought not promote, celebrate or support what scripture condemns,” said Dana Gonzalez, who was in favor of withdrawing, before quoting scriptures from the Bible

Of course the conservatives are bringing religion places where it shouldn’t be.

Also, I don’t even know how having a Marxist leading the free public library association makes any difference. Do they think the library should be more capitalistic? Sounds like a great way to make sure no one goes there.
