no, the reason is because we don't have a parliamentary system that awards a seats by a proportion of the vote. a 40% vote for a party in a parliamentary system gets them 40% of the seats, but in america 40% would get them NOTHING.

google Jill stein and Putin and maybe you'll discard some of your naivety.

china's probably not going to go to war with Taiwan. this is just about making sure the US loses the Cold War too.

also CNN writes headlines like: "trump puts tariffs on Canada, china, Mexico" making it sound like he's taxing foreign countries instead of writing the truth, that trump is taxing Americans.

It’s been five years since Winter Storm Uri, where more than ten million Texans lost power and hundreds died as a result of a failed electric grid.

The federal government has a responsibility to #ConnectTheGrid and deliver power to the people.

the worst part about the implosion of the Republican Party into an authoritarian anti-democratic terrorist organization is that the republicans from yesteryear are in the dnc nowadays.

I'd be surprised if the fusion company has a working prototype by 2040, much less a scalable commercial fusion reactor

the thing about wars between near-peers is that nobody wins. one side just gets hurt a little bit more than the other, but dead is dead and your demolished infrastructure doesn't become more useful because you damaged the other side's infrastructure a little bit more

monetary weakness, unfortunately. in a post-citizen's-united world we need to reduce the impact of limitless campaign donations going to right-wingers in some way.

this is the reason the party leaders like Schumer are people who get the most donations. because the other politicians don't have the time to be congressional leaders because they are spending so much of their time trying to get campaign donations to ensure their next electoral victory.

should pass a law capping campaign lengths at 90 days tbh. eternal campaigns is bad for democracy. you probably won't be surprised to hear that most politicians spend over 50% of their time just calling wealthy donors asking for campaign donations to fuel the eternal campaign.

babies are simply honest & haven't discovered how to lie yet. we all like jingling keys but we learned to present a false image that we don't.

compare this with biden saying over half of the infrastructure bill is going to red states "because they need it more".

I don't know what to say, really. biden gave more money to red states than blue states for one reason, and trump is doing the same actions for another reason. pretty fkin sad.

I've been seeing headlines about trump using his power to take funds away from blue states. such as childcare, infrastructure, and medical programs such as HIV prevention. he also attacked research funds that go to blue states.

if these corporations existed & wielded power in 1776 like they do now, the constitution & bill of rights would have placed limits on the information and services they are allowed to provide the government.

the tear gas probably made some of those women have a miscarriage thus removing the need for an appointment.

political parties are inevitable when you want to get laws passed. the founding framers of the constitution failing to predict political parties & write rules for it, assuming politicians would all be little islands, was a huge oversight.

people have short memories so sometimes they can be tricked into believing the present we experience has always been the way it is now. but things change, often rapidly and with intent.

congress ceded too much power to the executive branch. congress gave the executive the ability to levy tariffs and even go to war without congressional action in certain circumstances.. now any circumstance under trump
