Cool NIN Shirt posted:I think politicians who deliver for their constituents are more likely to get re-elected. People like it when you do things for them and makes them want to vote for you. In an era where most politicians only go for slam dunk wins, Biden could have just ignored it. He tried, it may be technically tied up, but at this moment is a fail. I don't have direct skin in the game, but agree wholeheartedly with the forgiveness policy. So I see it as a positive.

I AM GRANDO posted:Doesn’t she have a family? I couldn’t stand to see my grandmother going around like that as a shell of her former self. Whenever someone asks a question like "how can her family or aids keep doing this to her", my cynical view is theres a lot of Senatorial associated benefits in that shambling near corpse staying in her seat and of course in modern America they're going to keep suckling on those years of power and influence. I mean, for fucks sake, RGB through her own hubris is responsible for ACB being seated on the Supreme Court. Of course we're going to get an embarrassing Weekend at Bernie's situation with Feinstein.

Ershalim posted:I think a lot of people are in this camp, and the general feel for young-ish left-ish leaning people is summed up by "hey, every time the republicans do something the world gets worse" and "every time the dems are, nothing gets better." But I think fundamentally the problem isn't that republicans are evil and democrats are useless, those are just flavor. The problem is that wealth concentration is the same thing as power concentration, and we've reached a point where the wealthy have so much say in how everything plays out that there's very little to be done via voting. Both parties work to the same nebulous ends of corporate wealth and the even more nebulous "maximization of shareholder value," but they're both functionally serving a club you're not part of.

Surely, regardless of your political affiliation, we can ask agree how important it is to feed one of the most vulnerable segments of our country, especially since-https://newrepublic.com/post/173668/republicans-declare-banning-universal-free-school-meals-2024-priority posted:States across the country are moving to provide universal free school meals to all our children. Meanwhile, Republicans are trying to stop them from doing just that.

Veryslightlymad posted:Even if I have a light and the right of way, I absolutely do not cross near drivers unless I am certain they see me. I signal them with intent when I am going to move. If I can't get eye contact on that, I don't move. There are so many times when I'll instinctive stop or just not go right away because something feels "off" and said passengers will noisily insist, "Go! You have the right of way!!!!!!" On at least three occasions in the past 20 years my actions prevented being hit by another vehicle.

Srice posted:There's a real good book called The Clothes Have No Emperor, which was basically a journal of poo poo that happened each week during the Reagan administration. You could replace the names in many of the anecdotes, say it happened in the Trump administration and it'd be perfectly believable. I flipped it to a random page and found a perfect example of this: That's FDR style politicking.

As a puling leftist shithead, I think their actions are incredibly shortsighted and if it doesn't serve to swing VT purplish within the next 10-15 years, will ensure the continued bullshit of voting "not that kind of Republican!" for governors.

I AM GRANDO posted:This is honestly one of the more unexpected aspects of the trump revolution on the right—they’re now openly ok with all kinds of weird sex stuff so long as it centers heterosexual men (only mff swingers). People like Margorie Green and Lauren Boebert used to be kept out partially because their sex was distasteful to the culture, and Gaetz would have been destroyed by the kind of behavior his peers have seen from him, although paying teens for sex was always fine so long as it was deniable and kept quiet. I'm predicting several overplaying of this hand in the six months to three years.

In 2019, the company itself was blamed for recklessly burning through cash, and its executives were accused of spending lavishly on their own expenses, including 24-hour armed guards, private planes and luxury cars. By 2020, MedMen was already falling behind on its bills.

Main Paineframe posted:In the US, the political gender gap dates back to the 80s. Or, to put it another way, it dates back to a major political realignment that completely changed the political landscape of the entire US. Moreover, one of the major factors in that realignment was a public backlash against the civil rights advances and proposals of the 60s and 70s. It's not hard to see how the impact of that might shift different demographics in different directions. "It will be different this time, honest!" And so it has been. US capitalists have outsourced labor and wages outside of the country, giving noting to the previous white male labor force except instructions to "learn how to program". A major, powerful demographic from the start of the country was left to whither on the vine, severely disillusioned by the collapse of the "American Dream" for them. Please understand that I'm not defending the white male or saying they should have been better placated. But as they and their (white male children) progressed, their entitlement never lessened and they have enjoyed the power of "majority". And of course instead of fighting capital, they've fought the same easy targets they've always fought: minorities. Who have suffered greatly, but also made some advancements, especially women. To the point where we are today unlike their same-sex ancestors since the start of the country, they do not need men. Women may not be at the economic level that men have historically enjoyed in this country, but they seem to be trending upward and onward. Those who are succeeding are working against the odds. And once again, the entitled white males, reacting to their easy targets they perceive to be below them, have been on a constant path to subjugate them all once again. And succeeded when Roe v. Wade was finally abolished. That there are massive political differences between men and women these days should hardly be a surprise. America is firmly in the "find out" phase having spent the last 40 years "loving around".
