  1. You have to ask why the Democratic party failed to bring this up in the 2 impeachment hearing. What a total failure

  2. Nope both parties are owned by the oligarchs. Bill Clinton made sure of that when he took Wallstreet money

  3. The only time the Democratic party will fight is when someone is left of party leadership. This is how they protect the caplistist class in our two parties dualopy

  4. Replace it with solar panels and EV manufacturing.

  5. Well I hope you took their advice and called your Senator to let them know how you feel about gutting the filibuster. Wouldn't want their efforts of notifying you to be wasted.

  6. CNN should be holding a debate with Marianne Williamson and RFK even if Biden is too much of a coward to show up. Democracy demands we have fair elections and debates are part of that process.

  7. We can only hope. Then the green party can become the second party in our 2 party system

  8. ExxonMobil bought the Senator from New Hampshire the granite state we have zero ff resources in this state. We should be focused on switching our energy sector to a local renewable source instead of having energy be a drain on the revenue in our state. Now I know why we are not

  9. Unfortunately there are 8 Democratic Senators who where exposed by the ExxonMobil lobbyist as also being on their call list taking ff industry funding

  10.  @nickiemcnichols5397  I have nothing against the well regulated militia we call it the national guard today as far as the members of that organization are concerned we should keep the second amendment rights. I do question the need for such a well regulated militia when we spend nearly 1 trillion dollars a year on the standing army thought.

  11. There is a line the Democratic party should use in campaigning

  12. There isn't a Jury in the country that will find him guilty

  13.  @ronschafer4533  why do you assume I don't want all politicians held accountable for any crimes they commit?

  14. If you want to understand the gold standard and why we left it read The Dollar Crisis by Richard Duncan. It is the best summary of currency in the 20th century.

  15.  @mrwilliamwonder  yes which is why we need to end the ff era and move on to nice things powered by renewable energy. Then no one will care about a desert over oil

  16. Obama had a supermajority and we only got a Heritage Foundation healthcare plan. We didn't get legislation on abortion. We need Ranked choice voting and more parties to end the duopoly.

  17. The DOJ refuses to go after trump. The government just took 15 boxes of evidence from his golf resort that are a violation of the presidental records act including classified government documents. That is punishable by 3 years in jail for the non classified documents alone. Ask yourself if the federal government walked into Edward Snowden's home and collected 15 boxes of government documents would they have left without arresting Snowden? Clearly we refuse to hold the wealthy to the same standards as the rest of the public. The media should ask at every press briefing why Snowden and Trump are not getting the same treatment for taking classified documents from the federal government.

  18.  @marktownend8065  that is called a micro grid it is possible assuming your community zoning allows it.

  19. See the new laws in Florida about not making white people feel uncomfortable

  20. Yup then he literally fled the country

  21. ​ @PADE1RTW  lol because Hillary was soo popular. That is a good one.

  22. If we had a free press voices like Chris Hedges would still be at the NYT.

  23. Obama had a supermajority and didn't pass legislation to make Roe the law of the land. The problem is that the Democratic party doesn't make it a priority. Proven by the fact that Nancy Pelosi and other members of party leadership are backing a pro life incumbent over the pro choice challenger right now in a very blue district in Texas.

  24. He was largely an extension of the Reagan policies. But the one good thing he did was not follow the advice of the war machine and the ff industry and stopped when he drove Saddam back to the Iraq border avoiding destabilizing the middle east. His son lacked his understand of foriegn policy which was that you can't fix the world so look at what changed in the last 6 months to make it a situation you can't tolerate and do the bare minimum to move it back to a situation you can tolerate. That understanding got our troops home quickly from the first gulf war and they are still there in the 3rd decade after the second gulf war his son's failure to understand that caused.

  25. Choose better vote Jill Stein

  26.  @milesteg8627  I will respect your choice and say I would love to see Medicare for All but i suspect we have a far better chance in getting some student loan forgiveness. As someone who is self employed with no health insurance I will push for both. But I don't expect neoliberals to give us either. I believe we need rank choice voting and the people's party if we are going to get policy that helps the working class.

  27. Answer our society feels entitled to the standard of living ff has given us. Renewable energy will power a society but not this society.

  28. The wealthy can't admit that the government can do things to protect your health and wellbeing it might cost the capitalist class some of their greed driven profits

  29. The democratic party is acting as intended. It makes sure there is no alternative to oligarchy

  32. Clarence Thomas was the first African American appointed to the court let's worry more about the rulings of the judges then their ethnicity as that didn't work out so well for us with the first African American Male we shouldn't feel being the first African American Female is nearly as important as being the most progressive candidate Biden had to pick from at the time. The healthcare legislation like the climate legislation and the gun legislation is nowhere near what the crisis we face demands. It is hard to calibrate half measures which still leave us a society with increasing inequality as we continue into the 6th mass extinction event fueled by the ff industry.

  33. Yup the impacts of our pollution lag the emmisions by a decade. The things Thomas described are already baked in and will be here soon regardless of what we do today.

  35. This is the same state that Biden wants to elevate to the first in the nation primary. Tells you where the democratic party is headed under his leadership

  36. Did your public water system not end well? We live in a mixed economy. Also most of the oil you buy today is a product of nationalized oil. The entire middle east has always been nationalize oil. So if you don't like that you better stop buying oil

  37. You can't shame the shameless trump should have shown you that.

  41. Half a century too late. We are closing the barn door after the horse is already out.

  42. That wouldn't end so long as we need a military base to secure oil in the middle east. If you want to end aid to the middle east end the ff industry with renewable energy

  43.  @mrwilliamwonder  doesn't change why we fund Israel

  44.  @sheldonbodryn1003  and he didn't use it at all

  45.  @sheldonbodryn1003  the part you are Ignoring is that Obama described himself as an 80s Republican policy wise. So he could have had a super majority for 8 years and we still would have heard how Joe Lieberman wouldn't vote for things. The Democratic party is owned by the caplistist class. Which is why we need rank choice voting and more parties. Australia has shown it is the only voting system that can take power from the establishment parties.

  46. When Al Gore as denied the presidency he won we where no longer a democracy

  47. Unfortunately without rank choice voting and more parties there is no way to vote against the wealthy in the USA. They bought both of the parties in our 2 party system
