Thankfully, there's enough time in the day for me to work my day job, work on my degree assignments, boil off a quart or two of moonshine from the still, and build a local coalition to where the local democrats can actually put up some sort of resistance to the republican supermajority, which leaves me just enough time to post a bunch of ascii rocketships for gay space communism in response to neolibs saying I'm racist. edit: 8====D <-- rockets like those.

The northeast has a bunch. The George Washington bridge in NYC costs like 11 bucks to go over it's ridiculous. The state spanning interstate in PA is a toll road and it sucks. There aren't toll roads in the southeast either.

They're well maintained, long scenic stretches of hills and plains. Great way to get out of the state. The tolls are cheap. But it's also government run.

Burn Zone posted:I was recently surprised to encounter large stretches of toll roads in the middle of bumfuck around Tusla, Oklahoma. It costs four bucks to go from Tulsa to Oklahoma City on the Turnpike (also known as Interstate 40). You can do it on the back roads for free, but you have to deal with barely paved two lane roads with an irritating number of stoplights. Also cops looking out especially for toll evaders who aren't from around there. And then half the roads leading out of Tulsa are toll, although I think thats because they pass through Native national territory, and I was less incensed about giving them two dollars to drive through. Exact change only though, which sucks if you aren't prepared. When I first arrived in Boston I got lost on the stupid turnpike and wound up paying over $10 in tolls because I kept going around in circles.

I don't really mind government-operated toll roads and bridges because infrastructure gotta get financed somehow dawg but private tollroads can gently caress off to hell except for some very specific circumstances that I'm sure exist but I can't think of right now like if you're one of those assholes who absolutely has to have your precious neighborhood in the deepest of the deep woods and the only road in is a logging company road built and maintained by said logging company I guess you're hosed then because nobody said you have to live there

Just got out of the New Kings Democrats meeting and my representative Nydia Velazquez was there. They are fairly organized, very progressive, and are absolutely not on board with how lovely the "blue state" of New York is with regards to local and state government. I'm planning on joining the policy committee that is currently focused on criminal justice reform and voting rights

Good, it feels fuckin' impossible to get involved with this party in NY. Erie went republican for president in the first time since like goddamn forever and the only thing on the events calendar was a democratic club meeting in Elma(a small town) that was 5 old people.

euphronius posted:Tolls are like the perfect use tax I don't know why anyone would be against them The 91 express toll lanes were a privately funded toll road that took out carpool lanes and replaced them with toll lanes. As agreement for building out this toll lane, the contract said that no improvements were allowed to be made to the public freeway that would in any way ease congestion on what was one of the worst roads in the nation for traffic. That's something that negatively impacts the general public for the benefit of people who can afford the $11 toll. Eventually the county/state took it over but now the inland empire is removing nearly all the carpool lanes on all their freeways and replacing them with more toll roads.

I find it odd that people who say "Hillary adopted Bernie's platform" just because she put some stuff on her website. A candidate's platform is what they call for and the issues they raise to the community at large. Her just adding stuff to her website just seems to be a box to check more than anything else in an attempt to please the American Left.Fidel Castronaut posted:Liberalism is all the poo poo we talk about Lena Dunham and safety pins. It's a petite bourgeoisie political philosophy that says "COEXIST" and believes in an ethical capitalism where Tom's shoes is making a difference and Whole Foods is improving the world. This seems accurate. Progressivism seems like the furthest left you can go with capitalism without venturing into socialism. I always saw liberals as people who believe adding policy and funding to existing structures is key. While progressives want to tear things down and build them a new.

God all the people who were like "BUT THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE MOST PROGRESSIVE THEY'VE EVER BEEN, JUST LOOK AT THEIR WEBSITE!!!". And then almost none of the party platform actually came out the mouths of any democratic politician.

My second post ITT was about how it really feels like they mostly adopted the platform so hill shills would have a built-in comeback to people calling her centrist rather than as an actual ideological basis for a campaign, because boy did they ever not campaign on it at all I mean, campaigning on their platform would have required them to campaign on anything at all other than "look how bad Donald Trump is" and that would have alienated the moderate Republicans they were so sure were going to flip blue
