I mean I can't even be that mad at this concept because it's very true that a great deal of potential is lost in modern society because people aren't free to pursue what they can really contribute to it.

So, I'm wondering how much this busing thing will hurt Biden. Does anybody know if thereel are any recent polls about the attitude towards busing among the general population and the Democratic party?

The great thing about the thousands of slaughtered Palestinian children is that they can't pull away when you fondle them or sniff their hair.

That's a Biden success story.

I’d read she’s not anti vax but anti mandatory vax? Do you have a source for this claim otherwise?

Being anti-mandatory vax is being anti-vax, it's no different than Biden being against "Mandatory busing" the whole loving point of busing was that it was mandatory, voluntary busing would just have left the same segregation in place that exists without it.

I dunno, but the media and political establishment seem to hate it. Having your own staffers running to the media to swear they advised you against doing what you're currently doing is rarely a good place to be.

I'm completely opposed to mandatory busing. I don't think children should be forced to take the bus to school; I rode my bike every day and it was alot of fun (and good exercise). Why would we want to take that away?

LOL at everyone defending private insurance though. Bernie touched upon but failed to actually explain why that's bad/unworkable, if I didn't know it already I wouldn't have understood what he was trying to say, so again, disappointed in him.

Ironically, Harris made a pretty good case against private insurers last night, which made her walkback right afterward all the more disingenuous.

i like how the thread continues to poo poo on Marianne yet she's better than every loving neoliberal shill up there, and you have nothing to back up your argument other than "she's sooo wackyyyy".

Marianne wouldn't go to war, she supports reparations, she wants you to have healthcare, she's against imperialism.

she's better than harris, biden, booker, warren. literally only Bernie is a better choice.

she got a bump in LK's poll between this thread and the last one, and it looks like she's got most of the former stalin vote, fwiw. :angel:

No one's "rallying behind" anyone, what is wrong with you people. Literally no one in this discussion is voting for Marianne (and this also makes MainPainframe's earlier comparison to Ron Paul very dumb, since Ron Paul actually had a bunch of posters unironically wanting him to win).

People were only arguing that there is no reason to consider her worse than most of the other candidates, and they're 100% correct in that evaluation. This is meant to highlight the amount of immensely harmful and hosed up beliefs and policies that have mainstream acceptance among those other candidates.

Yes, when Buttigieg came out with his bullshit vaccine bullshit I was pissed off at him as well. The non-answers are bullshit, anyone wanting to get rid of religious exemptions is around a B, getting rid of both is an A, and extra credit to Warren for understanding the issue of Doctors who hand out bullshit medical exemptions.
