That’s a problem no matter how government officials are elected, and therefore irrelevant.

They’ve been falling for loonies for decades, sure, but that is tangential.

The GOP fell to the MAGA crowd a lot quicker than a decade.

Take over the democratic party with actual leftists. If the fascists can do it with the GOP, we can do it with leftists/the DNC.

Right, and trickle down economics works. /s

And Geordi would probably canonically agree, at least with the second bit. Just finished reading Picard the Last Best Hope, and Geordi had no problem taking over the ship yards of Mars to build a fleet to save Romulans.

Even a small percentage is good. The situation is desperate.

The fewer first time home owners that get out bid by corps the better. Doesn’t matter if it is a drop in the bucket.

And that’s even before considering how it would help stop housing from being an investment vehicle.

I guess, no one NEEDS a video streaming platform.

Nobody NEEDS social media, but when a social media does something harmful, they need to be regulated.

That’d be well and good if they didn’t have a monopoly.

Then go by muscle % x body weight or something.

That’s on you then.

“Why are there so many comments removed in this thread?” is a legitimate question.

This is basically a smear campaign

If showing failures in moderation constitutes a smear campaign, maybe don’t go banning people because they disagree with you.

You can simultaneously be in both chambers, that’s the nice thing about federation

Not if they ban you for asking the most basic of questions about moderation, or for having a different opinion.

Banning people for having different opinions is bad.

It’s not that simple though due to the Federation. The .ml community are blended together with everything.

Asking for more reasonable moderation isn’t a big ask.

OP isn’t taking issue with that. They’re taking issue with the CPP/USSR apologetics.

“If I can be a parasite, you can too*”

* just ignore that I didn’t again become a millionaire like I said I would. And just ignore all the experience and schooling I started with that others don’t.

And IIRC, he only did so through siphoning off the value of free facebook/craigslist furniture.

It sucks that the only reporting on this is shitty tabloids.

and a majority in Congress

Democrats do not have a super majority, which is a problem thanks to the fillabuster. So the only branch of government the democrats have is the executive, which is not enough to fix things.

Would you characterize your position as “vote however you like unless it’s a state level or higher position for which the democrats are running someone.”?

That’s an over simplified take. There are races where the only two candidates are establishment democrats and republicans, even at the local level. I am saying be realistic with your vote, and don’t split the vote if a republican has a chance.

How would you say the gbu-39 2000lb jdams Biden is sending to Israel impact women, minorities and the lgbtq in Gaza?

This may surprise you, but there are women, minorities, and the LGBTQ in places outside of Palestine. And they’re gonna get hurt if the vote gets split thanks to people like you, who put their need for “clean” hands over the safety of others.
