The real point is no one should be able to amass that amount of wealth in the first place in order for expectations to be necessary. I guarantee you $6.5m to her is a much smaller fraction of her wealth than the average person gives.

Imagine suggesting not harming kids is equivocal to “everything” and wanting that let alone a single other thing is being too greedy. Psychotic libs.

Claudia De la Cruz did neither of those things. Just saying.

Same in New Zealand. Every measure they have ever encouraged is to do to reduce use results in rising prices. The profit line must go up.

Marxist commentary for the US left against pro-Democratic Party opportunism masquerading as socialism. I definitely lost some brain cells listening to this one. #socdemgang

When they say Me Too "went too far," they mean "got too close."

BNMW will definitely work next time, even though it’s never worked yet. This is why they rig the primaries to make sure the “who” is the choice of the wealthy donors, not someone ego will represent the voters.

Do you ever think about how we all have a finite amount of time on this planet, yet capitalism makes it so that we wish every day would be over long before it actually is? In its current form, work is truly antithetical to life.

The Clintons are part of the right wing conspiracy.

As long as enough people keep them legitimate nothing changes. They don’t care if they lose, they just care there is enough voters to keep them playing the game.

I don’t know, have you considered sending a message to the Democrats that the ones they have are not it, you don’t want to lose therefore you will also not vote for them until they get some policy that is a winning platform? That’s what I would do. Until enough people hold out nothing changes.

So, you. You are being a dick.

Comprehension matters. I said the Democratic Party could choose to fuck off if they have zero interest in representing potential voters.

We’ve never had the opportunity to elect a left govt in my lifetime. It’s been red or blue and their sidecars who enable them and that’s it. We have more of an effective two party system than we did pre MMP. I’m sick to death of the Green’s posturing themselves as there to help Labour.

Then you will get another Trump. Do you want another Trump? Don’t keep doing the same thing electing a different result.

Oh really? So they control all three branches of govt right now then do they?

People are unsurprisingly busy doing other work.

What are you getting out of being a dick exactly?

Who would claim such a lie? No place for unprovoked govt violence? The US? It’s the oxygen of the place.

You all continue to come up with the lamest solutions to the Democrats losing elections. It is not the Democrats at fault, it is the millions of people who have zero desire to be a representative not running for office. Ya ever think if people wanted to run, they probably just would, Jane?

16. Mark Carney is Not Your Antifascist Dad Carney’s recent speech at Davos really is as important as everyone’s saying it is. But in my view, it’s not important for the obvious truth we just heard him confess, but for the les...

New episode live. Carney dogwhistling anti-communism while re-asserting the sensibleness of neoliberal logic, while convincing too many people that he's actually standing up to fascism.

Allowing elites and corporations to fund political campaigns means they install political leaders who shape policy to their benefit. It is institutionalised political corruption, there's no other way to describe it.

Democracy cannot function under these conditions.

You might as well have. Or would your answer be different to the next person who said the same thing, and the next? There were two very clear messages from voters opting out of again voting for Democrats. They ignored them. Once again, to suggest all those voters should just run themselves is absurd

People are dying RNZ.

UK supermarkets hide record profits behind rising living costs Supermarket profits have been skyrocketing as food prices surge — this is greedflation, with corporations burning the proverbial house down

In fact, under the current system, #supermarkets may not lower their prices at all even with a much cheaper energy system. We can see that them using energy crises and tax rises as cover for lining their pockets.

What an absurd position. The people in office are supposed to represent the will of their voters. So yeah, their position matters. The solution is not for millions of people to run instead of them, it’s for the Dems to listen to millions of people. Or fuck off entirely. That is of course an option.

You asked an unserious question and are surprised you received an undervotes response? I’m not sure saying that the Democrats are so bad that the only hope for people is they run themselves, no matter little they want to or how unsuited is the gotcha you think it is. You’re “where you are” for that.

Like we had with Kiwibank initially. Unfortunately we must not have convenient things so that was not allowed to continue.
