Fair enough
Hence “calling yourself a duck does not make you a duck”
Yes. Fools will tell you the Nazis were socialists, people of a normal intelligence will tell you that calling yourself a duck does not make you a duck.
Fair enough, slavery is awfully attractive to them
Lot of people put it on top of tobacco or weed too but often it’s a similar setup to smoking cannabis concentrates
Yeah I’ve definitely seen multiple people smoking meth out of bongs in my lifetime. Safer than injecting.
Even though it’s meth, 30 years is fucking STEEP. You’d never see somebody getting that much for alcohol in their system unless they killed someone.
Possibly, I just don’t see the financial incentive to restricting women financially. Because how can they increase their debt impulsively if they have to ask permission?
I understand why the powers that be want to restrict reproductive rights, it bolsters the future workforce, but preventing any the working class from spending money wouldn’t make any sense.
Like, yeah, a lot of these people do hate women, but they’re primarily motivated by pursuit of profit.
Nah see I don’t think that’d ever happen. The banks have too much stake in women continuing to hold bank accounts so they can poach their debt. Capitalism wouldn’t allow it.
I really like the way Tommy douglas put it
I would say strategic voting for biden at this point to prevent Donny from winning is a fine reason to vote Biden right now.
Let’s not forget that their system is broken and unless you vote one of those two parties, your vote doesn’t matter, and Donny wants your vote to matter even less. Even just to attempt to uphold political democracy it’s worth voting Biden, but that’s what he’s riding on and that’s a fucking shame.
By all means, if the alternative wasn’t thrusting the US into fascism, I would absolutely say don’t vote for the person supporting genocide, alas that is not the case.
Overtly criminal or overtly fascist?
I could back a criminal if I found the reason to be morally sound. Let’s not forget that some crimes, morally speaking, were the right thing to do (think hiding jews during the holocaust as an extreme example, and maybe possession of certain drugs as an example of something morally ambiguous that wouldn’t keep me from voting for a good candidate)
Using campaign money to pay hush money? That’s just in line with the shit Donny already does; it’s dishonest as all hell and definitely not morally sound. He’s also clearly a fascist.
I’m Canadian, but I can still tell you why Democrats are more likely to turn against their own politicians.
People who vote Democrat tend to be more educated, and academics tend to lean left. The left-leaning academics are far more left leaning than the Democratic party and are aware that, while the Democrats are the lesser of two evils, they still stand to uphold the status quo for the ruling class, whereas the Republicans have devolved into explicit fascism.
Because the Republicans have fallen into fascism, the people who vote Republican are either undereducated and fall for the propaganda or they’re part of the ruling class and want more money.
My partner’s father is a member of the canadian communist party and he has this framed and hung up in his house
The problem has always been rampant capitalism.
No system is without corruption, but late stage capitalism is fucking ugly
I’m far more partial to a semi-planned economy, personally.
Edit: additionally, although we are talking specifically about the states, I feel this image still applies to the discussion on class. For context, Tommy Douglas was the man responsible for Canada’s nationalized healthcare
The NRA has spent a LOT of money to ensure this.
