People hate Trump because he's a dumbass who surrounded himself with Russian stooges. But that isn't gonna change their vote for congressional reps. But their congressional reps voting to take away their health insurance is something that makes them consider voting for someone who won't vote to do that.

It's super weird how Tulsi "supports far right leaders" (I assume Assad, correct?) but the "good" left supports... what? The Kurds?

Like it or not, it's not delusional to think that countries were better off under total control of their strongmen if we're not able to offer them a better option

a dollar per year and then tied to inflation is pretty good.

How about five dollars per year? No, let's do something simpler and less burdensome to businesses; how about all of it in one year?

i think it also gets rid of paying servers less so no more annoying tipping

I'm more annoyed by widespread pretending among employers that they don't know they have to remunerate servers up to minimum wage if they don't get enough tips to reach it, and by people who love the tip system for the miniscule degree of abusive social power it regularly grants the, but I'm not above admitting that I want tipping to be over for personal reasons too.

My favorite part of The Soul of Man Under Socialism is where Oscar Wilde says socialism will be great, since it means he can just tell panhandlers to go screw, because he knows the state provides them with everything they need. I'd vote for Zuck if that was his campaign message.

With the Clintons you really never know. "Some close to HRC" could mean anyone from Hillary herself, to Podesta or McAuliffe, to a donor like Buffet, or Lanny Davis and Sid Blumenthal.

Podesta wouldn't care because he's smart enough to know shes far to unpopular to ever be a central figure and McAuliffe isn't as popular with the Clintons as he used to be. IMO it's donors because Sunken Cost Fallacy is a very huge thing amongst a certain segment of the donor class especially those from insulated places like the tech world/finance who Just Don't Get Why Shes So Unpopular.
