quote:“We urge the repeal of federal campaign finance laws, and the immediate abolition of the despotic Federal Election Commission.” I really hope someone nutter assassinates some rich people instead of just gunning down innocents sometime soon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUXwDMqjC-A Sanders asking Rand Paul if he thinks healthcare is a right, Rand Paul responds like a total psycho person saying if you make healthcare a right you support enslavement of doctors and forcing them to work with guns to their heads someone in comments mentions right to cotton and slavery of cotton farmers rest of world laughs gay earth spins

Hillary is probably going to get the Dem nomination but after hearing her say "this was a great victory for freedom of speech" about the Citizens United decision there's no way I'm ever voting for her.

i like bill maher's show because I like the guests and the discussions they have I'm on the fence about Bill Maher himself because every time I start to like him he spouts of with some ridiculously dumb poo poo like being anti-vaccinations which turns me off. Although he seems amenable to discussion instead of just ignoring everything in favor of repeating his talking points over and over so that's not such a big deal.

Raskolnikov38 posted:well i mean they seem to be raising tuition every other week, i'd rather they lower tuition rates than donate to political campaigns I was going to a UC when they raised the tuition 30% and everyone was freaking out about it. That same week UCLA got 15 brand new flat screen TVs for 1 of their multiple cafeterias with super high quality food (like there's professional chefs working there, not students). I was upset; doubly so when my friend that went to UCLA laughed and said 'bro those things aren't even on most of the time and when they are they just have a slideshow of UCLA pictures.' gently caress the UC Regents. They only hiked tuition rates so they would have extra investing money. I forget the details but one of my profs posted like a 10 page indictment on his door and it was pretty ridiculous. They give money to the high profile schools like UCLA and UC Berkeley and to a lesser extent UCSD and the other schools just get the shaft with increased tuition and nothing to show for it.

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?

Raskolnikov38 posted:every food you have ever eaten is a GMO, its a dumb thing to placate dumb hippies So what? Excuse me for thinking the government should pass laws the people want instead of listening to Yum! foods and Monsanto. If every food gets labeled GMO then a) you're stimulating a lot of hippy small business who now want to meet an increasing demand for that poo poo while not affecting anything in countries that actually need GMOs to survive, and b) a lot of people will realize they were freaked out about nothing.

"What's that a candidate talking about real poo poo and not just gay bashing as an excuse for their oligarchic economic policy?" I hope he kicks the poo poo out of Hillary in the Primary then offers her the vice presidency. I think a Sanders/Clinton ticket would crush whatever pair of psychos end up running on the GOP ticket.

Fullhouse posted:he is a socialist. What the media is doing, and has done successfully for like 80 years, is slander socialism itself as some awful un-american thing that strips your freedoms and literally enslaves you, or something He might be a socialist but the policy he is advocating is not socialist policy. He's not talking about nationalizing industries, he's not talking about wealth redistribution. He's talking about sane tax codes, ending corporate welfare, ending big money influence on politics, and creating real GOOD jobs for Americans (as opposed to a bunch of minimum wage seasonal McJobs). It's policy the GOP would have been on board with 30-40 years ago. What's socialist about saying our infrastructure is crumbling and falling behind? It's just truth.

All I know is I heard Hillary say 'this was a great victory for freedom of speech' RE the Citizens United decision and I'm never loving voting for that mentality ever. Companies giving unlimited amounts of money to political campaigns because they are people and their money constitutes speech has to be one of the most hosed up Supreme Court decisions ever.

Jagchosis posted:[citation needed] Not digging through a bunch of C-SPAN footage for GBS sorry. Although from a quick google it looks like she's recently stated she's against it but at the same time is unifying her base with the idea of 'what you're going to let this one thing sink the Dem campaign?' Corporate shill imo. She's going to try and co-opt Bernie's points to beat him in the election then her presidency will just be more of the same.

i knew a conservative girl in high school whose parents were literal paranoid maniacs watching nothing but fox news and had her convinced she could be kidnapped and raped at any moment in time in a super safe white suburban neighborhood to the point that she almost called the police on a latino man walking inside of a house because 'I KNOW THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THERE'S NO MEXICANS LIVING HERE! WHAT IS HE DOING?!' it was pretty ridiculous. one time she was telling me we should eliminate food stamps because there was no hunger in America. these people exist. plato weeps.
