If you're in the USA: why aren't you? If you're not in the USA: we don't want the National guard to be sent in

If Newsom is our best hope then we are fucked. The guy thinks if the throws enough minorities under the bus the rest of the country will forget he is a Democrat from California.

Do you know why it is cheaper to make vehicles in Canada, a country as modern as the USA? It's because of the universal healthcare. As long as every aspect of our lives is financialized, we will never be competitive in regards to manufacturing. Unless of course we legalize child factory labor 🙃

We're not asking Dems to deliver a utopia, but to have standards that go beyond "normalcy". Those dumbass Americans have standards, that is why more people didn't vote for Trump than did.

I mean it depends on the context of how UBI is going to get paid for. If it is funded by a wealth tax then I am on board. But that's not how the powerful proponents of UBI say it should be funded. Andrew Yang would have us take it out of Social Security to pay for it but you don't hear him say we should uncap Social Security contributions.

Seems I guessed that right from the headline. There's plenty to shit on, like their soldiers being sent to the Ukrainian meat grinder. But when you see "country bans cheap food" or "country requires kim jong haircuts for everyone", don't be gullible.

You know what else is legal? Denying healthcare claims automatically. When the laws stop serving the people, don't expect people to follow them out of the goodness of their hearts.

Parent said it has NOTHING to do with building concentration camps. So it would be odd to expect that word in the article. Or did you realize they were being sarcastic? Then I guess you just didn't like the joke and responded with being pedantic to distract from the point.

Those suggesting other candidates should probably address the three issues AOC brought up:

  • Endorsements doesn't transfer
  • Campaign contributions doesn't transfer
  • Possible state level shenanigans by GOP to keep candidates chosen after some technicality off ballot

None of these issues exist if Biden simply steps down.

Who do you think the US government works for?

Where else would it be safe to hold the hostages? The rest of the area is getting bombed to oblivion. Most of the hostages are probably under rubble.
