if Republicans win they do what they want and if Democrats win they let the Republicans do what they want
no matter what the outcome of the election is we will certainly be left with an elderly far right out of touch Christian who wants more police funding, less worker’s rights with stagnated wages, less bodily autonomy, more state’s rights, restrictive immigration policies, less education funding, more tax breaks for mega corporations
If the lesser evil wins, you get to protest and put pressure on the government to improve things. If the greater evil does, you end up in the prison system if you try that.
under their leadership prices on everyday items has skyrocketed, pay has stagnated and has lowered compared to start pay during the covid pandemic, there is no universal healthcare, we have less rights today than eight years ago (shocked we still have marriage equality at least for now)
both are Christian and our loss of rights to bodily autonomy over their two presidential terms drives the point home
both candidates supported the takeover of mega corporate tobacco taking over nicotine harm reduction
cannabis regulation in the same form as we currently treat vaped nicotine is supported by both candidates leading to more iffy products and more criminals for the mega corporate prison complexes
Biden’s crime bills from his time as a politician are still causing harm in people’s lives today so how does picking a prosecutor for his running mate show any change or any difference in these policies or his thinking versus Trump?
so which candidate was it that supports us the citizens? hard to tell the two apart
A vote is not a love letter, it is a bus ticket.
if there is truth in this statement why not throw support behind a third party? with enough votes even with a low number eventually a third party would have to be recognized the same as the other two with access to the national debate stage
Your vote is more than just consent for that party to enact their agenda. It is the strongest, if not the only, way to message both parties what you want government to do that they really listen too. Vote blue repeatedly and the Dems platform moves to the left as will the Reps eventually. Enough people vote blue consistently over time and the Reps would support healthcare reform etc…
That’s why I won’t use my vote to tell the government I support genocide.
I’ll vote downticket for Dems because I somewhat agree with them domestically, but they’re just as bad on foreign policy so I’m writing in Aaron Bushnell for President.
Does that count for Darwin awards? Why on earth would you go out hiking in 100+ degree weather? That’d be the same as asking me to swim a few miles into the ocean with no floaty devices during a monsoon. Just crazy.
That seems like an odd sentiment. I’m no Trump supporter, but I can imagine a mindset of “hold on, my family died supporting you and you’re going to give up?”
In a news report the wife of the deceased said Biden called but she refused the call because the husband was a die hard republican, when asked she said no one from the trump side called.
Dang. I would pick up for Biden. I think he’s the kind of guy who would talk to you for hours at a BBQ with a nice beer 🍻. Politics is definitely not everything. I think that’s what pisses me off so much about Trump. Man I wanna do all the things in my bucket list before I’m expired but somehow in the background these assholes keep making unnecessary problems. I gotta work on my yard, I got programming to do and kids to entertain but nahhh…the social security money is running out, or nuclear war ahead, or we’ll be deporting all LGBTQA people to Cuba. And it just demands attention constantly. Even though we only vote the one time and our vote doesn’t even count towards electing the president. That’s why I would love to have a constant vote app…you can vote Trump today and if tomorrow he screws up, just remove your vote. If enough people unvote, he’s out.
Polls don’t account for the Grey Death that will arise from the nursing homes to vote when the time comes. Nor does it account for the younger generations who argue about politics online but won’t bother actually voting.
Anyone else remember when Trump walked into a room of hyper-wealthy donors and said something like, “I just saved all of you a LOT of money!” after his Tex cuts were signed into law? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Insane. I can’t imagine a woman doing that to her own newborn baby. Defenestrating a baby would also ruin her career, so I guess she has a lot of other things going into that decision.
That’s pretty good, and if you can maintain that, you’ll have 400% in 9 years.
700% in a decade is very unlikely, without either insider trading or tremendous luck.
I’m personally at 39% also for about 3 years, and AFAIK that’s slightly better than average.
This is what happened in California. The statewide rent control is 5% plus inflation per year, capped at 10% per year. There’s a bunch of exclusions too, like the property has to be at least 15 years old, and single-family homes that aren’t owned by a corporation are excluded too. I think the builders and landlords had quite a bit of a say in it, hence the limit being so high above inflation (assuming inflation of <=5%).
Still a lot better than it used to be. It applies to month-to-month rentals too, so you can get the flexibility of a month-to-month rental while still having a limit on the rent increase per year. Evictions also need to have just cause and there’s a notice period of 60 days if the tenant has lived there for longer than a year.
Reminder: Both Donald and his dad Fred had policies for their slums that would have quietly denied people that look like Thomas from even renting one of their apartments.
Their employees were instructed to put a little “C” for “Colored” on their rental applications for efficient denial on the basis of race.
Yet another example that the class war presides over all the other culture wars we are encouraged to beat one another to death over to stop us from engaging our owners.
Class war is upon you, whether you would acknowledge it or play pretend its the homeless people down the street’s fault like the owners want you to.
“There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”
-Warren Buffet. Bragging about the situation.
He wasn’t attempting to raise awareness of the issue as evidenced by his disowning his granddaughter when she did try to raise awareness of the issue by being interviewed for the documentary The 1% by one of the Johnson kids.
They won’t allow us to regulate them, and have each killed hundreds of millions of us so far. I believe the phrase is believe someone when they tell you who they are, these people are unrepentant murderers, thieves, and environmental terrorists at an unprecedented level. They woke up and chose violence, we can only choose self defense at this point.
