Well, 9.1% less money, but yes ;)

Because there are 9 justices, so there would be a new appointment every 2 years, giving every presidential term two appointments. So it will exactly avoid all that shit this way.

I don’t know how to tell you this cause you’re obviously arguing in bad faith, but if you use every opportunity to talk about not voting for the Democrat, you are actively trying to get Trump elected and you are actively making the world a worse place. So could you please, please, stop this fucking bullshit now. Or at least fucking admit to yourself that you are not trying to make the world a better place, you are using one fucking talking point to sabotage every discussion.

Great. Then stop pushing an anti-Democrat and defeatist message any chance you get. I don’t know what to tell ya?

And I think everyone should vote against fascism. Can you please stop this bullshit, all you’re doing is pushing an agenda designed to get Trump to win and it’s honestly so exhausting.

She also hasn’t been elected to anything yet? There’s nothing undemocratic about a party choosing who it wants to run in an election internally.

Interesting how you could change the label on this map to be literal anything good/bad and it would be accurate in almost all cases. Maybe both parties are not the same after all.

Yeah, I was so confused and couldn’t understand if this was some ultra-racist news article or something.

If you think world governments and corporations care about climate change…. Haha

A lot actually do, that’s why progress is happening, although not nearly fast enough.

We all need to commute 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to work every day here in the USA.

You don’t need to. A lot of people have much shorter commutes. But yes I agree with you, the US is way too suburbanised, and people need to push for more urbanization, 15 minute cities, etc.

But damn if I’m going to use a plastic straw

There are hundreds of things that we need to change in the fight to be sustainable. This is one of them. Just because it’s not everything doesn’t make it not worthwhile.

As a European progressive I obviously don’t worship Biden, but I have really come to respect him and he has been nothing but a class act throughout his whole term. He is stepping down and handing over the reins, now is as good a time as ever to recognize him as a - quite surprisingly honestly - good president.

This decision really raises my opinion of Biden so much. God damn do I love that man, he is truly a great person who dedicated his life to serve his country, literally. He honestly had a great term given the circumstances, and the only thing he probably should have done differently is to not run for reelection to begin with. But he seemed to genuinely believe he could win and stave off Trump. Now that that seemed impossible, he makes a very courageous decision that a lot of people probably wouldn’t have made and puts the country ahead of his ego. Lots of respect from me, and I hope this reinvigorates the democratic base and makes the future brighter for all of us.

I think it’s more that he’s uncertain that they are a nuclear power, not whether he finds them “islamist” or not.

I don’t really think that’s true. I think you could offer him a large sum of money to do the right thing and he still wouldn’t do it. It’s not even like the bribes are that huge. John Oliver tried, and I know that it was too public of course, but I still think if some rich progressive person were to offer him 10 million dollars or something to not be a huge POS he still wouldn’t take the offer cause he also just happens to be a huge POS. Like the bribes are nice, but he does also just personally want to make America a christofascist hellhole.
