so, going back to your analogy of thinking of stock like homes, we pay property tax on our homes if we own them. Not much, comparatively, but we pay tax on it nonetheless. If stocks are an asset like a home, they should be taxed based on the value of those stocks.

he just wanted to make hyrule great again

when the hell did the dem party become the party of lethal military, border wall and fracking? It’s like they wanted to alienate their base.

I’m done. I can’t with them anymore. I’ve voted dem every single election since 08 and they can’t seem to beat a literal fascist 2 out of 3 times. It’s not because they aren’t the progressive party, it’s because they don’t actually do anything. they talk, but don’t act.

This was the last time i vote for a dem candidate. they pay mouth service to progressive policies, but at the end of the day, they do next to nothing for us.

back in in the 2010s when obama was president, there was a time when the dems controlled the house AND the senate at the same time. we still didn’t get any real progressive shit passed. the only thing i can think of is daca and obamacare. we didn’t get single payer, universal nationalized healthcare, we didn’t get robust protections for the working class, we didn’t responsibly pull out of iraq or afghanistan, the environment is fucked and there’s nothing that we can do about it anymore, big banks got bailed out at the expense of the working class, university cost was and has continued to be at an all time high. They didn’t fix the gerrymandering the gop has been getting away with. They didn’t set term limits on justices. they didn’t fight back when the Rs blocked merick garland. They did nothing to fix the broken electoral system. They did nothing to fix the economic policies set in the reagan era. they did nothing to set a law banning PACs, lobbyists or special interests. the only thing the dem party has going for it is that they are not literally the party of fascists.

2 weeks before the election wasn’t the time to start getting excited about a third party. The time for third partying is now, and keep it up until the next one. I’m not going to forgive the dem party for their inaction and they should absolutely be punished by no longer existing as the opposition party.

I dunno man, an official government which forbids women to literally even speak sounds a lot worse than the shit the US pulled when we propped up Hamid Karzai.

they are when the folks they killed were fascists. Also, hot take here, I’m pretty sure that the US occupation o Afghanistan was better than the current system in place there.

confirmed, this is how i got into lock picking.

Now’s the time to get armed and train. If you simply cannot get a gun for any reason, get pepper spray, carry around powdered glass the throw in someone’s eyes and train. Always train.

ah, okay. so you’re just dumb. It’s not discriminatory to boycott men, it’s a protest. And even if you’re a Nice Guy ™, you can still knock someone up, maybe she doesn’t want to have a baby, maybe she wants an abortion. guess what, men have said that she’s not allowed to. If this gets policies changed, I’m here for it. Also, if someone doesn’t want to have sex with you, so what? that’s what hands are for.

wait, what double standards? Is this from some terf bullshit or something?

Stay strapped, friends.

I want your opinion in my car

As a straight white male, I support this movement.

Could have had a bad bitch.

Why. We lived through 4 years of that shit already. Why did we do this to ourselves again.

I blame McCain. When he chose Palin to be his running mate in 08, he gave voice to the crazies on the right wing. It wasn’t long after that that we saw the rise of the tea party, which led to maga.

he did a good job with what exactly? with the deficit? nope. with the covid response? also, nope. with the economy? no. What about with the plan he put in place to pull out of afghanistan? fuck no. He didn’t do a single good thing while in office.

of course the timing of it has to do with the fact that the election is less than 2 weeks away, but do you not remember the shit he did while in office? Every day there was a fresh scandal. Shit like this got swept under the fresh hot garbage that he spewed.

This isn’t surprising to me at all, especially knowing how racist trump is, how he actually does refuse to pay bills and also about how he does treat fallen soldiers with nothing but disdain.

No, it’s something he said when an American soldier of Mexican descent was murdered by a fellow soldier. He offered to pay for the funeral, then didn’t. This was while he was in office.
