The new form of city government meant there was a significant number of candidates to parse through. And ranking several instead of picking just one favorite also added time. It took me several days to do my due diligence on all the measures and candidates when before I could usually get it all done in one.
Not complaining, though I could imagine people who don’t take voting seriously easily getting impatient/overwhelmed.
He would never. But Biden could go over Congress and send whatever the fuck he wants. What’s Congress gonna do, impeach him?
Twist: They’re alive. And they’re angry. Choose your weapon.
I’m getting snipped ASAP. I have no intention of bringing any people into this mess of a world anyway
They choose their big money corporate donors over the American people and then are surprised when the American people chose big money over them.
Gore should have been the president in 2000
I was saying this the last time around. America is too big and the parties are too polarized, the federal government can’t fairly represent all of its constituents at once. At any given time, half of the population is being underrepresented.
Our healthcare system doesn’t take mental health seriously so only rich people can afford therapy and even then, only a relative handful of people actually seek it out.
I think the difference is that a school shooter is in the middle of a violent act and is an immediate threat to the lives of anybody around them. Usually the only way to put an end to the harm they’re causing is to meet that violence with the same level of violence. It’s not a just act, it’s a tragedy, but it’s ultimately necessary to prevent further injustice.
Hoarding an incomprehensible amount of resources and lobbying for a system is easier to exploit is amoral and causes harm to our society but it is not a violent act and is not an immediate threat to anybody’s life.
These memes spreading violent rhetoric against a class of people this community is at odds with is starting to feel like other corners of the internet that I don’t want to be involved in.
I’d wager we have a much better shot at passing legislation for a billionaire tax than legalizing murder.
This violence-against-the-owning class rhetoric is going too far. Killing other humans is never justified. Tax them into oblivion and make them work for a living like the rest of us. There’s a massive difference between having disdain for billionaires and wanting to kill them.
Mango Mussolini
That’s fucking brilliant
I’m definitely migrating to Linux at some point before then
Insurance companies: “Wait you actually expect us to provide the service you’re paying us for? That’s not how this works!”
FedEx is amazingly bad
I think Tesla could also be a company driving positive change if he wasn’t cutting costs and pushing stupid products
The Democrats /s
I think association counts if the sounds associated with it are consistently repulsive. For example, the sound of flies swarming around a pile of crap.
Maybe it’s because I grew up in Illinois, but Missouri has been giving me whiplash over the last several years. I’d expect the kinda politics coming out of there from Florida, not a Midwestern state.
