Publicly funded elections are so needed.

People distancing themselves since they found out the DOJ can prove it’s built on Russian money.

Sadly, the Supreme court right wing activist judges are working to make anti-trust rules unconstitutional and Kroger’s lawsuit language makes clear they counting on that.

Sounds like they need to nationalize drug production. NIH and universities do most of the development of new drugs anyway. Fuck the crooks in big pharma.

Republicans: Dem’s are anti-parent and anti-child

Also Republicans: No free lunches for children, no child tax credits, no child care assistance, get rid of public schools so you have to pay more, nothing to help make children affordable.

They arrested hundreds of regular people for J6 but they are somehow powerless to deal with this fuck. Scary how fragile our government truly is.

Dude, what are you talking about? I live in rural Indiana. I also realize that cost of living is not the same in every area and making the minimum wage one flat rate creates problems when the cost of living is not flat. This is common sense, not a bias against “flyover states” like the one I live in. That’s why I said it should be pegged to cost of living reports that are already conducted by the government across every region of the country. This way if rent goes up, it would automatically be accounted for and adjusted.

No, but the same food and lodging costs drastically different based on location in this country. A New York City cost of living would bankrupt small businesses in rural Nebraska who also price their services based on regional costs. It’s just more logical than a flat minimum wage for the whole country.

The reason our elections last so long is because the 24 hour news channels turned them into a horse race to fill 24 hour coverage. 24 hour news has done a huge disservice to this country.

Minimum wage should not be voted on by congress. It should be pegged to cost of living by region. The government already does all this measuring of cost of living by region. Make the minimum 125% of cost of living and be done with it. It’s clear congress can’t handle the task.

They forgive anything as long as their media sphere ordains it. They love the born again narrative. It’s only about the appearance and virtue signaling for these people.

Don’t discount Peter Thiel’s deep pockets in this decision. Thiel owns Vance.

Peter Thiel spent a lot of money to get his taint skin puppet Vance on the ticket.

Taking shots at him won’t fix anything. He’s just a demagogue figure head for the movement created by billionaires and their foundations. If people want to fix America, we need billionaires cowering in fear. They are so bold in their corruptions because they get away with it.

I use Apple News but there are plenty of other ways to just stream current events without comment sections to suck you in. As mentioned, RSS readers. You can borrow magazines and news papers on Libby as well.

This is part one of the religious rights plan to go after porn sites and their patrons. Don’t give them your ID. If they get power, it will come back on you.

It’s how affective a century plus of paranoia propaganda by the NRA has been.

With climate change, the whole of the mid-East is going to be uninhabitable. All these countries are fighting over land that no one will be able to live on in the next 50 years or so. Humans are way too short sighted.

And I say all these countries because Iran and Russia supports Hamas and America supports Israel.

So stupid. We have to change the voting system before a “third party” will make any difference. It will take years of lobbying, marching, fighting. Your lazy little protest vote will accomplish nothing. The two parties control the electoral college. No third party has a chance till the system changes. Plus, no current third party is REMOTELY close to being a contender. Last time it even had a chance was Bernie if he ran independent in 2016 after the DNC screwed him and he chose not to. Just voting third party when no third party is showing any sign of winning, in an election like this, is so irresponsible. It proves you have no understanding of government. It’s acting like a child taking their ball and going home.

I would never kill anyone for a government, let alone one ran by Christian extremist.
