    Warmongering surrounding Israel first rule over America is the main reason no one can have nice things. Without any support for Marxist supremacim, nationalizing oil, weapons, media (0 compensation to shareholders) and seizing all assets/homes of its directors. This exterminates corrupt policy influence, and helps fund UBI. Instead of relying on US political process, Military should coup takeover the country.

    Didn’t read article, but is this legislation actually going forward? More anti guillotine legislation angering the use of guillotines is not going to help them.

      Right. How else is Jeffries and Chuck going to afford their beach front property in Gaza if they don’t receive million from the fossil fuel lobby.

        Don’t know about that part. It’s just rooting for a team to stand up literally and it ain’t happening as much, preventing unnecessary spending, marginalizing communities, is been the rapport for either parties. Like this is a hot take but all party motto/slogan is tip toeing too much. Some real change or something needs to happen to garter my favor.

      This isn’t really true, though some are. It’s just that both Democrats and Republicans are almost all owned by the owner class, so support any corporate protections. That isn’t anything that Republicans own. It’s both parties.

      100%.

      No other nation/individual/extremist group/ideology on this planet could be causing America more harm than the Republican party. They are oppressive. They strip rights. They flagrantly violate the Constitution. They crush the middle and lower classes.

      They are absolutely America’s enemy and the enemy of Democracy in general.

      Is that why one has a good track record with the economy and the other absolutely fucking tanks it every fucking time?

      And it’s “affect” not “effect”. Yes, I’m being that asshole.

        They differ in the details slightly, accounting for performance differences. But every time the interests of the asset class conflicts with the interests of the consumer class, they both make sure the asset class is happy.

        Whenever I see affect I think of people making faces. And any single economic decision effects people, while the economy as a whole affects people. With my phrasing I can see either works.

          Affect is a verb: the rising grocery and gas prices are affecting my spending choices.

          Effect is a noun: the effect of rising grocery and gas prices are changing my spending choices

          In your example: any single economic decision has an effect on people, while the economy as a whole affects people.

            Except when affect is a noun (disposition or emotion) and effect is a verb (to bring about or make happen).

          Fixed it for you. The Dems may be much less obvious about it than the fascists, but the vast majority of them are still corrupt as fuck.

    I’ll be honest, I don’t really care. None of these laws mean anything if the government is completely rebuilt from the ground up. Every single thing this admin does will be worth so much burned toilet paper. All the grifts ill gotten gains will be liquidated and confiscated by whoever the fuck hangs them all in the streets, as is most likely to happen. All the bills that say shit like “no regulations on AI evar!! Lol” or “Donald Trumps name on everything, including mt Kilimanjaro for some reason” will be meaningless.

            From an outside perspective its pretty clear that there is no coming back for the US without a violent intervention.

            With how fucked up your electoral college is, there is now option for a third party to slowly grow in support like its possible in most democracies. That means your only options are both far right corporate puppets that have no real interest in fixing the underlying problems of the country, which in turn radicalises even more people.

            Sure the Democrats are oders of magnitude better than the current nutjobs, but they historically did only the bare minimum to be seen as “the good guys” and “progressive”. Anywhere else in the world they would still be right wing conservatives. Looking at how Mamdani policies get criticized by members of his own party should be all the proof you need.

            Pretty much the only way out of this downward circle would be for 100 Million Americans to simultaneously decide to vote for the same 3rd party.

          Again, that’s what they hope for. You aren’t being noble, you are just noping out when it gets hard.

              Right, and what I’m saying is that is the mentality the power structure is trying to make us all feel.

              You vote every time, you show up every time. I’m not saying vote for anyone specifically, but don’t give up your power. It is not meaningless to fight these fuckers, and just waiting it out is the only guaranteed way they will win.

      The only way this will happen is through violence, and even then it’s not a guarantee.

      • conservative South loss against the north in the civil war and there were no reparations or punishment.
      • Nixon came the closest to being impeached and charges were dropped as soon as he resigned, despite the fact that the votes were there. We was then fucking pardoned because “we need to move on.”
      • fucking TRUMP will “learn his lesson” for forcing Ukraine to provide opposition research on Biden in exchange for security.
      • TRUMP again when he literally caused people to storm the capitol.
      • when Biden was in office, house refused to even push more impeachment talks because “he’s not president anymore” and then got Pikachu faced when he ran again.
      • when Trump finally was found guilty in New York, the judge fucking gave him no jail time.

      Democrats refuse to hold Republicans accountable and we need to start acting like they are part of the problem.
