  1. I agree with you 💯... we're from the same generation. I have very little hope left now for our nation..for our fragile democracy...for our people. We're being destroyed from within and without.

  8. ​ @michelestidhamwhitmore8313  Choosing not to vote is not an option at this juncture. Allowing what is occurring is being willingly complicit in the undermining of our democracy.

  12. Is your mommy home dear? Perhaps you could ask her to explain these apparently perplexing questions you have.

  13. Well said. And sadly true for far too many.

  14. The solution? UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE with all of us contributing and all of us getting the healthcare we need. ELIMINATE INSURANCE COMPANY PROFITS COMPLETELY FROM OUR HEALTH'CARE SYSTEM ENTIRELY. ENOUGH.

  34. Poor or in debt? One of the things we need to come to grips with in the US is the FACT that there's a difference between actual NEEDS and wants. People in other countries save for WANTS. When they have the money for 'wants' they pay for it outright. They don't bury themselves in credit card debt and then act as though they're a victim of their own choices and decisions. The question about debt is: WHO PRIMARILY BENEFITS from Americans living up to their eyeballs in debt? Who is primarily benefiting from that? We can't change as though it will come instantly WITHOUT ONE IOTA of personal effort on our own. 'Somebody' else is going to fix it. IT'S WAY PAST TIME TO GROW UP AMERICA. The notions and myths we've been clinging to like children FOR ENDLESS DECADES aren't benefiting the majority of us. Yes, President Biden is a political moderate... attempting to work with 535 members of Congress (too many thoroughly unqualified, SELF-SERVING and SELF-ENRICHING) who make decisions for our population of 330 million people. Half the people seated in Congress have embraced fascist authoritarianism to ensure their own continued seat at levers of power. That's just the plain truth of it.

  35. Student loans are a RACKET. Student loans are intended to be lifelong debt income for the lender. Loans are bundled and bought and sold on Wallstreet just like mortgages are. They're loans that cannot even be dismissed through bankruptcy without a great deal of hardship effort. Student loan debt is an INDUSTRY. A despicable SCAM.

  36. ​ @thesoundsmith According to your own self-perceived 'vast and unmatched wisdom'?

  37. Immigration hasn't actually changed dramatically over the past several years. Also, Republicans have fought immigration reform since the Reagan administration. Why? Because their corporate 'donor'/OWNERS don't support that legislation. It provides them with LESS LABOR COSTS. THAT'S WHY.

  38.  @jimbob3030  It's interesting that you apparently imagine yourself an 'intellectual'!

  39. Every gun owner should be held responsible for owning a gun and the VERY LUCRATIVE INSURANCE INDUSTRY would absolutely love to increase their already bloated profit margins even further by insuring the 400 million guns on the streets of the US. Either ban assault weapons altogether with high magazine capacity and/or require an outrageously expensive insurance policy to own one. Let the very lucrative PRIVATE insurance industry get their hands on that untapped $$$$$$$$$$$$$ market. They'll LOVE IT.

  40.  @gothboschincarnate3931  No, they are not. They CLAIM they are but there's no evidence of such a CLAIM. There's a self-serving, self-perceived 'righteousness' they project but other than that there's little to no actual evidence of humility or love for others whatsoever.

  41. Congress just passed ANOTHER nearly ONE TRILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS PER YEAR 'defense' allocation yesterday. Guess how many in Congress opposed it? About 70 members out of the total number in the House. What! NO 'concerns' ABOUT 'the deficit'? Or 'inflation'? Oh...that's right...those issues are only brought up when spending is potentially 'suggested' as necessary to address the ACTUAL NEEDS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. 'Puzzling' isn't it.
    2
  42. ​ @randerodr7389  Apparently so are guns.

  43. CRT has NEVER BEEN TAUGHT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. It's an elective course at the university level for law school students to examine and consider the law as it relates to race. Period.
    2
  44. Ranked choice voting is NOT going to happen instantaneously. Nothing is going to happen instantaneously. It takes years of ACTUAL WORK to make changes in a country of 330 million people. It's messy. And frustrating. It's life.

  45. Wouldn't it be great if men in positions of political power WEREN'T PSYCHOPATHS.

  53. So...that pervasive sense of being a powerless victim? That notion in the US of powerlessness seems to have taken hold in nearly every aspect of our lives. WHY? Children are, (for the most part) powerless while growing up. Someone else is making decisions for them. Is that what we've continued to be... children? Even though we're adults? We don't have a sense that WE'RE actually as intelligent (often more so) and have valuable experience and skill-set as those we elect (HIRE IN OUR STED) to represent us in the halls of our governmental institutions. Americans need to GROW UP FINALLY.

  54.  @Roescoe  What values and laws are you consistently WITHOUT FAIL supporting? You see that's actually the 'standard' if you're a Biblical 'law keeper'. The Pharisees, who Jesus harshly admonished more than any others considered their 'law keeping' as an outward sign of their own self-perceive 'righteousness'. Are you aware of that? Jesus said they were "white-washed tombs". Are your 'values' selective? Are they based on your own 'short list'?

  55. You're 100% correct. Fascist authoritarianism is at our doorstep. Literally. Are we willing to gamble with our fragile democracy at this juncture? I'm not.

  56. So what are you doing personally to work toward the implementation of ranked choice voting?

  57. So you'll be perfectly fine with the MIP (Maga Insurrectionist Party) wing of the Republican party running the country? Is that what you're saying?

  58. Really? If you continue to hold that unrealistic view... you're going to find out the differences to your own detriment.

  61. Your own apparent self-perceived 'vast and unmatched wisdom' is humorous!

  62. Donald Trump isn't actually popular other than with those entrenched in the MIP (Maga Insurrectionist Party) wing of the former GOP. Those long affiliated with the Republican party left their own party some time ago. They are adrift without a political party. Some have become independent voters..which is actually the largest voting population and has been for some time.

  63. Six corporations own 90+% of all print and broadcast 'media'. 'News' presents and peddles it's own narrative resembling a 'reality TV-show' chock- full of political 'theater-drama'. AN INCALCULABLE DISGRACE AND DISSERVICE TO THE 330 MILLION AMERICAN PEOPLE OF THIS NATION.

  64. It wasn't that simple. There were other factors involved including Russian operatives engaged in nefarious unscrupulous electoral political manipulations.

  69. ​ @EmeralBookwise  There's no viable third political party currently. It will take years of work to establish one. It won't happen 'magically' with 'somebody' else doing the hard necessary work. It will take years of grassroots effort... sacrifice, networking, financing and much much more.

  70. Supposed medicare 'advantage' is a conglomerate of insurance companies who've lobbied Congress to create YET ANOTHER LEGALIZED PROTECTION RACKET...targeting the older population. The ONLY 'advantage' is to their SHARE HOLDERS. ITS ANOTHER SCAM.
    1
  71. ​ @jeffroussell  There is no such thing as 'private' Medicare. The legalized insurance protection racket disguised as 'senior healthcare advantage' insurance have co-opted the word 'Medicare' as a selling point. It has nothing whatsoever to do with actual Medicare. It's a FOR PROFIT INSURANCE SCAM.

  72. How many supposed 'victims' of their own lives do we have commenting on this thread? And WHY? You vote (maybe) every four years and you EXPECT 'someone' to 'make it ALL BETTER NOW'. GROW UP FOR PITY SAKE.

  80. Why are you so afraid of the MIP (Maga Insurrectionist Party) wing of the Republican party? It's a very small percentage of the electorate in the US. The Republican party itself, at best, comprises approximately 21-24% of the voting population in the US. They aren't 'half' the voting population. They never have been regardless of the peddled narrative. Stay focused on (AT MINIMUM) retaining our fragile democracy at this juncture.

  85. Qevin's Congressional district is Bakersfield California...it has a high crime rate...exceeding NYC and other major cities. He's SUPPOSEDLY the 'representative' ....and has done LESS THAN ZERO for the people of that area. The taxpayers pay his salary of a hefty six figures...and his pockets are stuffed with corporate cash on top of it. He's a WORTHLESS self-serving, self-enriching pathetic weak little boy (in capital). letters.

  86. He's already been indicted. This will be his third...and another is coming after that.

  87. Will the patriarchy EVER STOP THEIR BLOOD LUST FOIR WAR AND MORE WAR? Will they ever stop normalizing the killing of hundreds of thousands under the guise of selling it as 'patriotic' and/or 'necessary' ? For WHOM IS IT NECESSARY? WHO PRIMARILY BENEFITS? THE WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS? THE 'DEFENSE' CONTRACTORS? THEIR INVESTORS...INCLUDING THOSE IN POLITICAL POSITIONS SEEING THEMSELVES ENTITLED TO DISCERN MAKING SUCH HORRIFIC DECISIONS FOR THE REST OF US. PULL BACK THE CURTAIN.

  94. ​ @ronschafer4533  Reagan was a two-bit actor who took his marching orders from a secret monied 'kitchen cabinet' on the periphery of government. He could read lines and convinced many he was someone of nobel character. The Iran Contra deal originated outside the preview of our Congressional representatives... illegal at minimum.

  99. It takes years of work to establish a political party. Are you willing to put in the necessary work to create a viable successful third political party? That's what it's going to take.

  106. Republicans comprise (at best) no more than 21-24% of the electorate in the US. They AREN'T 'half' the country by a long shot although that peddled narrative continues to jerk people around every time the corporate owned political press spews that drama for public consumption. The Republican party hasn't done anything to improve the lives of the American people FOR ENDLESS DECADES. Nothing whatsoever.

  107.  @michelestidhamwhitmore8313  Just because some 'attend church' doesn't necessarily mean they're actually 'Christians'. Unfortunately there's a number of those who CLAIM they're Christians..but their lives show little to no evidence for such a claim.

  108. So apparently you're under the impression that Hispanics/Latinos aren't as aware as perhaps other ethnicities? Because the 6 corporations that own 90+% of all print and broadcast 'media' are peddling such drivel. Consider the source.
