They are also scum for what they are doing.

If my wife and I both made 70k I think we could comfortably raise 2 kids.

As is? We would need some serious help.

No jobs will mean no people eventually. That will solve poverty.

I have no insider knowledge, that’s just my bullshit take.

Yeah I didn’t know most of that. I’m not a veteran so I can’t be a. Member even though I bank with them. Or couldn’t last I checked. I probably can now because my MiL is a vet.

Health insurance companies are lobbying the shit out of both parties. Car insurance companies would love universal healthcare. It would drop their outlays which would increase their profits.

One car insurance company where I live operates kinda like this. USAA.

Every subscriber is a member. Every year, after they pay operating costs, they take the money left over from premiums and put it into accounts distributed across all the members. When you reach a certain age you can withdraw the money accumulated in your account.

Then vote in the fucking primary. I. The general you sit up and back the better candidate no matter how shit.

Yep, Biden, frail as he was, would have been better than trump, Hillary would have been better than trump, Biden was better than trump in 2020, Kamala would have been better than trump. If American refused to elect a Republican there would be room for a debate between a leftist and a liberal.

Zelenski worked out pretty well for Ukraine.

He’s not a saint, but he’s been pretty damn good by understanding.

It’s not what it sounds like, most people would guess I am an A cup.

C cups sound big but on a trans woman they might not be. I got C cups in 6 months and you wouldn’t know it to look at me.

Sure, under the Soviet Union, or something like it. They weren’t a the arch villains I grew up being told they were, but the USSR had a long list of flaws and broken promises.

That is also horrible. The right’s view of human nature is that people are fundamentally violent, greedy, selfish and cruel. Life before governments was “and endless struggle of man against man for control of women, land, and wealth. It was nasty, brutish, and short.”

Governments provide a check on our natural impulses by centralizing power into a single authority. Capitalism harnesses greed and selfishness into mutually beneficial business deals. If you don’t work, you a deserve to starve. Big you can’t work, you live by the grace of Christian charity.

This is all nonsense of course, justifications post hoc by the powerful so of course they deserve their power. But if they are right… The mind recoils.

You stop paying attention to big things and focus on your child. “Think of the children” starts to work more because you think less about everything else.

Also women who are independent tend to be more liberal than men, but women who are dependant on their husband tend to be more conservative. Have a child, quit your job, adopt your husband’s political opinions because what’s good for him is good for you.

I didn’t mean “when they lose to Republicans, it needs to be because they weren’t left enough” I meant “when they lose an election, it needs to be because there was a farther left candidate that won”

Conservatives need to never win an election again in my lifetime. Maybe if the Republican party moved left of the Democratic party, or if a third party gained popularity and was left if the Democrats.

But realistically, it has to happen in primaries.

When they lose it needs to be cause they were not left enough they need to lose I. Primaries when they fail to support the leftist positions we need.

If that’s not workable, then it’s not going to work, and eventually it will break. I don’t like it but I didn’t design this system.

That’s called a dummymander and it has happened in the past.

If you don’t remember pemdas, you can use the longer P.lease E.xcuse M.y D.ear A.unt S.ally.

This is the story.

It’s also survivorship bias. Wealthy people live longer, and wealthy people are more conservative. As a cohort ages, the poor liberals die off and the wealthy assholes remain.
