  • New Legislation Proposes to Take Wall Street Out of the Housing Market

  • Yeah I'm comparing 3rd party votes to voting for the less harmful duopoly + activism, you're comparing it to doing nothing.

    You're right voting 3rd party is better than doing absolutely nothing. What a high bar

  • in what way is buying a competitor not inherently anti-competitive?

    If someone has a history of anti-competitive behavior, preventing them from buying competitors is perfectly logical

  • What are you even talking about? I've seen videos of cops shooting at dogs wagging their tails. I've seen cops shoot at small dogs and accidentally hit the owners. Here's just one of many videos, see if you can watch it without being disgusted by these pigs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D1wzZU14h0

  • That’s true until it isn’t.

    The way you change that is election reform. Not thoughts and prayers and spoiler votes when one of the 2 big parties is running a wannabe-dictator.

    Think, if fools in Florida didn't vote 3rd party in 2000 you'd never have bush or the war in iraq, and we might have given a shit about global warming.

  • Please, tell me you're a child who knows nothing about the US electoral system without telling me. People like you got us Trump

    Too much of a baby to read and understand the spoiler effect that comes with FPTP? Too impatient and short-sighted to push for election reform (RCV or approval voting) and just want some low effort immediate option that requires nothing more than casting a vote? Child. Democracies require effort to survive.

  • Anon wonders about Peter Jackson

    Jump

  • Yup, few people remember how few and far between big budget fantasy films used to be. Computer graphics have gotten cheap enough now that we see big fantasy sets all the time. Back when LOTR hit it was really rare for someone to cater to the fantasy crowd on the big screen, especially for a whole trilogy.

    Much like the original Tolkien novels are a hard read but still seen as classics because they laid groundwork for the genre, the movies are seen as classics because they came first. They are probably Peter Jackson's best movies but that's only because he got even worse at editing as he went on.

    Sen. Bernie Sanders opposes giving Israel $10 billion in aid

    Jump

  • Okay but they have no incentive to do any of that and instead have monetary incentive to shift right

    Do participate in bringing ranked choice voting to your state if you want a shift left in the USA. Competition will force the shift you are looking for

  • Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?

  • The global elite buy the USA politicians. They are for sale internationally

    In Bush's case, the family is owned by the Saudis. And the Saudis couldn't have the USA president going after oil.

  • Really? The right around here is burning books, claiming their religious beliefs should be enshrined in laws forced on others, and openly supporting a wannabe dictator while calling anyone in their party who doesn't agree a 'Rino' (Republica in name only). To say nothing of the connection to churches and their 'flocks'

    That is a lot of trying to force viewpoints on others and create a uniform viewpoint

  • In the usa we did vote for AL gore, who campaigned pretty much solely on stopping climate change.

    When it became clear gore would win, the Supreme Court stopped counting ballots and gave the win to Bush, an oil tycoon who went to war for oil. Later Kavanaugh, who worked the case for Bush, was given a lifetime appointment to the same court for their effective cronyism

    So yes, the global elite are the reason here.
