  1. Couldn't agree more. I'm not ageist, I understand many people stay sharp until a very late age, but I believe it's important and valid to have age and term limits for all publicly elected positions.

  2.  @WasTheGrinkThereThough  indeed. They have a very honed playbook. They are very good at what they do, which is managing public perception. PR for dumb (or at least not very questioning people), and easily triggered reactionaries. I mean, that's the whole Right's strategy since pretty much forever and it seems to work very well for them. Why fix what ain't broke??

  5. What's the alternative to a majority govt??? I live in the US so I only know two mainstream parties who like to portray themselves as polar opposites but in reality are very much the same with the Democrats being overall less odious people and those who occasionally will arrive to vote for something somewhat positive for the average person, but they are very neoliberal, and the Republicans barely try to hide anymore that they are fascists, rank opportunists, and only there to pass tax cuts for the very rich and oppose anything the Democrats try to pass.

  6. Yes indeed. I mean we live in an industrial banana republic. No exaggeration. The gov from the metro city level to state to federal is for the elites and big business, and runs on open graft. These assholes can use euphemisms all they want, but let's call it what it is- it is bribery and GRAFT, plain and simple.

  7.  @fredbmurphy  They're satanic monsters escaped from hell. This poor man could have been ANY FUCKING ONE OF US. Watch. Even tho it's the same PD as Derek Chauvin (NO SURPRISE), they won't be punished. The entire corrupt system swarms to protect any 🐖 accused of a crime. US 🐷s are PROTECTED by an evil hypocritical system that will DESTROY any one of us for the exact same crime. They are PROTECTED from the moment they wake up in the morning to the moment their psychopath asses hit the sheets at night, in the face of any crime. Less than 1% of all accused cops will EVER do any jail time. Makes me wonder how politicians in both worthless parties who have willingly done their immoral part to make it this way can look at themselves anymore. American 🐷 are truly above the law in virtually every case regardless of the crime. That's the US for you. Yes, they got Derek Chauvin, but after how much outcry??????? People have lives to lead. We can't have a worldwide uprising every time another evil 🐷 kills or violates someone's rights.

  11.  @6789uiop  well the big corps want total unfettered domination, and seeding every level of so-called govt with it's faithful shills is how they get there. They got the SCOTUS, the GOP and a good part of the corpDems and probably most of governorships and as many state assemblies- so for now they have most of the govt on their side. The SCOTUS with C.U. was just their crowning achievement. In time this can be undone but I think it's going to take a while.

  16.  @jokerswank6082  I'm willing to go up to 70. But that's it. And yes this would disqualify good people like Bernie Sanders occasionally, but that's ok. As much as I would hate to lose one of the few genuine good sitting members when they still have a good mind and value system to offer, I could accept that if that's the price of getting the rest of these wrthless ultra-wealthy corrupt af harmful-status-quo loving ancient douchebags out of there.

  19.  @JohnHoffman65  I live is San Diego and while CA has a lot of fantastic aspects we also have the same problems here as the rest of the country just more so. Poverty and evil mass incarceration which could change overnight were people of conscience to take over the Assembly. That's what I'm working on. I plan to go out for office by 2030. Course I can't do it alone so- I feel like I need a more comprehensive plan than that- which is what I'm working on now.

  23. Minors should never be tried as adults- they aren't adults! I think it's absolutely wrong to ever charge minors as adults. There's a reason a seperate juvenile justice system exists! A very good one, and it shouldn't be legal to just toss it over at yet another "king judge's" whim. This was a heinous crime but he's obviously deeply disturbed. He should be charged as a youth, as that is what he is, for the crimes he committed. This prosector is just another opportunitistic b7tczh looking to make her bones and career on this case. She cares nothing for the victims, she just figures if she goes way over the top and throws cartoonishly excessive charges at everyone, she'll look like a real justice warrior and that will put her in line for the state's AG position. I guarantee it. That's how these people work. It's just a game to 99.3% of them; they don't care about victims, they care about how easily they can capitalize on a case to their benefit and how many charges they can make stick, whether they are deserved or not. I have nothing but utter contempt and in certain cases outright hatred for the entire American prosecutorial class- and that's Bec I'm old enough to know who they really are; and in my bitter and cynical opinion most of them are opportunistic, and even sociopathic trash. As far as this young shooter, either the school, the parents, or both should have done better in this situation. I don't understand why the school didn't give him a non-disciplinary suspension for the day and also search his bag or request a security guard or officer to do so??? It's always better to be safe than sorry, esp in the age of school shootings! Of course the parents were outrageously negligent to buy their young teenaged son a goddamn firearm, but I'm not ready to say they knew he was troubled. Youth are very good at hiding things from their parents they don't want them to know. I'm not ready to condemn them as monsters just yet, deploringly irresponsible, yes- but also perhaps simply naive and tragically stubborn, in not wanting to believe anything was wrong with their precious baby. They wouldn't be the first parents to react that way. As for running, I doubt they planned to leave the country, but probably were just in a panic and were desperate. Overnight, their entire world was thrown into chaos. They very likely didn't think or know there was anything wrong with their son, and may not even have known he took the gun to school. Until I hear more I'm going to assume this is true. They wouldn't be the first parents to be more oblivious than they should be. Until I hear more, I'm going to assume the news that their son was involved in a mass shooting was just as much a shock to them as anyone else. I imagine they felt an terrible horror at the news. I can understand why someone might temporarily flee under those circumstances. I doubt they ever had intentions to go far or disappear for long. They probably just wanted somewhere to go to try to process all the madness that just happened. They made mistakes to be sure, but I'm sure they loved their son. I'm sure they had no intentions of taking off forever and leaving him to face his court case alone. Anyway- it's another heartbreaking tragedy all around. But this DA is being a predatory bi7tzch IMO and soaking this up for all it's worth, portraying herself as a heartbroken party with a rending heart for all the victims. I call mthfkg BS on that. A terrorism charge and adult characterization in this situation is bogus and pure positional opportunism by her, which is definitely not coming from any sincere desire to help the survivors heal. I feel the same about the parents' charges. Yes they were idiots and bought him his own gun- but I find it hard to believe they thought he would bring it school. It's more logical they just assumed he would behave himself and be using it at home when they were around. I doubt they imagined for a second he had the gun with him when they were called into the meeting in the counselors office- but they most definitely should have consented to or performed a search of his bag. If they were so sure, what would be their objection to getting confirmation?? So yes, there they were negligent and willfully didn't take the school's concern seriously. But that is not the same as involuntary manslaughter. So until I hear anything else damning, for now I'm not with those who feel that is a fair charge, because its just not supported, in my view. Negligence of some sort- sure. But not any kind of manslaughter charge. I honestly believe they don't deserve it, as tragic as this incident was.

  25. Make it a big sign and post one right on your front door. These are Satan's servants doing the devil's work. Protect yourself at all costs. These demons are protected by other amoral predators in the precinct and the judges and DA that work with them.

  26. Age limits and term limits. Period. And somehow ending the Mississippi River of pure graft that flows to both corporate parties at every level of gov from the city to the state to the federal. (If it's even possible. Maybe it's not. Maybe govt-for-hire is here to stay and it's just BS we're stuck with fir another 100 years)

  31.  @kempiro    right. Exactly. I wish people would calm down on AOC. We're all being hysterical. This is just one vote. I'm not saying don't be tough on her, but we have to keep the big picture in our sights. Also life experience and job experience counts for a lot and she doesn't have much of either yet. Politics in the US are a joke and she's surrounded by 99% either thugs or paid for operators. Dealing with those politician crazies and scumbags on the Hill takes a particular form of skill and toughness that I imagine she's still learning.

  32. It's a disgusting crime against humanity that something so beneficial and useful was ever criminalized in the first place!!! The time to get the vile Govt out of our private lives and the business of private drug use was 50 fucking years ago! The ONLY classifications of actions that should be considered criminal are derivations if violence or fraud. Nothing else!! Other countries have finally stopped the fascism and decrimmed weed. They've had a cascade of positive advancements as a result. Making weed legal just gets the evil State off your back so one can medicate safely or enjoy a good high without looking over their shoulder govt Gestapo. And it's medicinal value for 100s of negative symptoms or conditions is beyond dispute. Cannabis has been a treater and healer for 1000s of years, only modern-day evil govt's have denied this and crafted 80 years of insane lies and propaganda around it. These are known facts. Cannabis is nothing but a fun and medicinal PLANT. A PLANT!!!! The fact that the US govt demons have served to demonize it and use it as an excuse for destroying or deeply damaging 100s of 1000s of wonderful people's lives is one of the most EVIL things this US govt cabal has done since WW2 (though it has stiff competition) and is STILL doing!! THIS MOVE BY BIDEN AIN'T GODDAMN SHIT AND WONT DO JACK SHIT FOR HARDLY ANYBODY!! IT FREES NOT ONE UNJUSTLY- IMPRISONED CITIZEN FROM JAIL. THIS IS TEXTBOOK FILTHY BIDEN, DOING WHAT HE AND THE ROTTEN CORPORATE DEMS ALWAYS DO- THROWING FRACTIONAL CRUMB-SIZE TOKENS AT US AT THE LAST MINUTE IN ATTEMPT TO GET THE DUMMIES AND THE CONFUSED TO VOTE FOR MORE DEMOCRAT SHITSTAINS IN THE MIDTERMS. ITS A DESPERATE CALLOW STRATEGY, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING MORE. ITS NET IMPACT WILL BE NEXT TO ZERO. I say this from the Left. The GOP is of course trash too- they both are. They're two virtually identical corporate parties who serve the same masters in the exact same way. Any differences are skin deep and usually just put on for the camera. Both are utterly worthless and beyond saving. Biden is a serious filthy scumbag that was one of the CHIEF architects of modern-day US domestic fascism, which employs mass incarceration and very- long- term incarceration for 100s of 1000s of nonviolent "offenders" as part of a well-calibrated subjugation campaign. Biden and all his other sociopath contemporaries can rot in HELL as far as I'm concerned. Only a true revolution or a coordinated Left Unity third-party takeover, or at least coordinated attack, can have a hope of rejecting these filthy fascist Red-Blue mainstream party scumbags once and for all.

  36.  @mckenzie.latham91  welp then I'm glad for all the "non-realists" who refuse to settle for just a little less shit on a stick from the system as some version of elite interests- approved neoliberal-tainted sad and flaccid hollowed out end goal. Our end goals must be much MUCH bigger and better than that. Regardless of how long it takes to achieve, the desired aim must be broad and demanded with militancy and absolutely NO APOLOGIES. All basic material needs covered by govt programs??? Check. More direct democracy at every level??? Check. A complete system of reparations and official apologies as part of an ongoing fundamental justice project for native peoples (and in our case, Black persons also)?? Check. Total reform of the immigration system?? Check. A complete reformation of the justice and prison system??? (Probably much more an issue here than there) CHECK. Empowering Labor and blunting large corporations' power??? Ending political banana republicanism and a literal open graft system at all levels (probably more a US issue)??? Check. It won't happen overnight I understand but that's why I'm looking farther down the line and then trying to ask myself what exactly do I need to do to bring that day closer? How can we get more far Leftists elected at local and state levels?? And so on. Our long-term vision must be bold and uncompromising. In the short-term I understand certain calculations and trade-offs have to be made, that's ok so long as we (people like me who identify as Socialists), keep the broader picture and our end goals firmly in sight.

  38. @The Majority Speaks indeed but when you have a tiny little cabal who's making major decisions for the whole country, and nobody on it (maybe sotormeyer) is halfway "progressive", where there a few weak kinda-liberals, and at least five big business shills, this is what we get. I'm ready for the SCOTUS to disappear too but I guess that's not readily forthcoming 😒

  39.  @6789uiop  I pretty much focus on only alternative sources now. CNN is fine to a point, but they have their own very pro-corp, pro-DNC, mostly pro-MIC spin which leaves out a lot of important information not to mention certain stories they refuse to cover, such as Assange (unless they did and I missed it).

  43. I believe at this point the whole federal govt is goners for the immediate future. It's too thoroughly captured by sociopaths and psychopaths both within it and from Wall Street. I don't even give a shit about 2024 at this point. I'll vote for the slightly less worthless piece of sheet, but seriously, let's just redirect our efforts at the state and county level for now. The US govt is an incorrigible, amoral and doomed kleptocracy- for now and I have no idea when that's going to change.
