I want to branch out and I'm going to stick with it.
I do like the idea of Franken as Sanders VP, and he's done a lot for my home state of Minnesota.

However, Franken supported SOPA. It's not a good mark for him.

I like that the narrative in this country is so skewed to the right that advocating for economic policies the GOP would have agreed with in 1970 is now full blown socialism.

Like oh we should pay our workers fairly and prosecute corporate fraud and close tax loopholes and raise taxes on the rich to rates that are more in line with national historic averages and invest in our national infrastructure? STALINIST STALINIST STALINIST

it's because you have to adopt an extremist name/identity to even have a real message anymore since there's so much bullshit everywhere that a fairly mundane or even-keel stance like that would just be completely lost in a sea of PERSONALITIES

Part of me is like "Bernie could really do damage to Hillary's campaign before she eventually wins the nomination and that could hurt her in the national race" but then I remember that the Democrats and the GOP are the same party with a few little differences about how they gently caress over the poor

labelling implies that they are somehow dangerous, which would be detrimental to food producers because casual consumers would be more likely scared off.

because people are stupid.

so even though a large portion of the civilized world requires gmo labeling, allowing it in the exceptional usa would somehow destroy food producers?

this is basically True altho not for the usual "theyre all the same maaaan" reasons - because if theres anything u should have learned from the past 7 years its that the US government was intentionally designed from the ground up to be ponderous and easily gridlocked

I believe people have the right to know what kind of foods they are consuming. I'd be more in favor of tobacco products having an ingredients list than labeling GMO food (because GMO food is probably safe long-term) but we can't even get the government to do that.

Go Bernie! I will legit vote for him, maybe even do some campaign work.

do you think that every food producer should label the exact lineage of all the plants they are consuming? how about all the pesticides used on it (which also holds true for "organic" farming)? because just saying "GMO" doesnt tell you poo poo about it.
