they did this like a month ago. it'll be nice if they start being good and actually helping people (apparently there'e going to be a new drug reimportation bill and cory booker has sworn to god he'll vote for it this time), but i'm pretty doubtful. they refused to be good dems even in the shadow of trump's ascendancy, why would they change now that they think they can do nothing and slide back into office because of how awful trump is?

really?

booker was one of the prime opponents of that poo poo and he's signaling that he's changing his loving tune literally a month later

if he does change then he's a good dem, if he doesn't then he'll still be a bad dem

in case you haven't noticed trump is the loving president and i'll take whatever allies i can get, even if they were mother fuckers literally a month ago

i'll take allies too. just the dems have to actually show they're allies, and so far they haven't. and it'll take more than one vote to convince me, but it'll be a good start

They're not entitled to poo poo. Especially when their patented ideas gently caress over other people with better ideas. See: every major tech corporation's patent and legal departments designed specifically to keep a stranglehold on all possible monetary gain from independent new thinkers/inventors.

"You can't even say why Monsanto isn't good, stupid leftist" :smuggo:

They suck because they're a modern capitalistic corporation that strips power from the people en-masse and wants to turn it into short-term profit for themselves.

Also, modern industrial agriculture is one of the biggest contributor to climate change, and Monsanto loves industrial agriculture.

We've had some of the biggest advances in agricultural science in human history under a patent system, and agriculture to feed billions of people is always going to be about monoculture crops.
