  1. As these monsters attack bernie it only gives him more cred and undermines their support, keep up the attempt Bezos. It speeds up change.

  2. Making millions and screwing over billionaire short sellers seems like an excellent use of time to me.

  3. Time for a round of firing. Openly defy your boss and you should expect to need to find a new job.
    225
  4. WTF? There is ZERO chance that would ever, EVER happen to me and it should never happened to these crying children either.. These cops need to be fired!

  5. What a shock! One thing you can say about conservitive predictions, they never get tired of being really wrong.
    121
  6. He is not the half measure incrementalist that establishment democrats are. He is a prime example of how progressives can win in deeply red districts.
    119
  7. This is the fight that will expose the corporate incrementalist, 90's republican like dems as the losers they are
    117
  8. The guy is so broken I can not in any way understand and how anyone backs this insane self centered monster.
    106
  9. Someone's feelings about what I wear should always be irrelevant .. specially when they are triggered over bigoted empty reasons.
    100
  10. Preach Joy, preach! They do need to be held to task.
    91
  11. That would not be such a bad thing. The fact is Donald kills every business he touches so if I were fox I would not worry so much.
    85
  12. Nothing like blaming your children for going on vacation while your neighbors freeze/die of covid.

  13. Eddie has a new fan in me. Thanks for highlighting humanity can exist on the networks.
    75
  14. Diane is so deeply out of touch, we all know she is the one who is supposed to be listening not the other way round. These voices are multiplying and will not be getting quieter.
    72
  15. Green is a psyco.
    69
  16. Or number of wars they started ..

  17. Best way to tell that guy is lying, check if his lips are moving.
    59
  18. All Americans should have the same like the rest of the free world, veterans first.
    57
  19. His choices of what to say publicly about issues associated with mental health warrant the concern raised within the body. He is under review due to complaints about his representation of mental health concerns as a licensed practitioner in the region. They expect him to comport with their standards and simply wish to train him as to what the standards are. If he can not do this simple thing, then he does not deserve the licence. He has a right to say what he wants. He has no right to a licence in a body, whose standards he contradicts on medical concerns.
    52
  20. When is the media going to speak up about these terrorist vandals with a badge. Time for some arrests.
    50
  21. He is appealing to a right wing audience, proving he is a liar makes him more appealing to them.
    44
  22. Um .. we saw what she was. We recognize her for failures outside her ties to RSS too. Personally those are more important to me.
    42
  23. It is the classic it's my fault speech given with a black eye.
    38
  24. When they run a republican as their chosen shill it is hard core mask off ...
    36
  25.  @notiondude1512  Ya, that is something that at least effects them. Adultery is not the average 3rd graders problem.
    35
  26.  @alanj9978  I do not agree with private care for a large number of reasons. The issue with the current system is the leaders in place not properly funding it to promote a for profit private agenda to "save it" Health care is one process that should have it's profit motive as far removed from it as possible. To make it about making money means the focus is automatically about how much can be made, a situation that is problematic when it means life and death. They need to properly staff and fund their existing system which is far cheaper than the for profit model that owns the Americans. A system that rations care based on a wallet biopsy, not need.
    35
  27. Paid sick days during a pandemic are a no brainer. People with no paid sick days generally make so little thsy can not afford to stay home. People going to work while sick is a major source of the spread.
    35
  28. It was a bizarre choice that pleased no one.
    34
  29. But it is as pleasant change from the standard. There is a fight ahead, good to see them force it.
    30
  30.  @yarrowlove5086  Nothing he said was bigoted. It is secularists who fight for freedom of religion and cluster that hate it. This is NOT about the first ammendment (that the religous actually decry) unless they are trying to usiing it deny others rights or now ignore simple public health rules.
    29
  31. Ben is a slow moving target. Way belows Brook's weight class.
    28
  32. I agree, the green party is saddly not very serious
    28
  33. A guy who is now thought if as a national hero and won a best Canadian ever poll a few years ago named Tommy Douglass started it in Canada.
    26
  34. He told us what to expect, no real change.
    25
  35. You mean having them to work on the front line for min wage in a pandemic might mean they get it more?
    24
  36. Those monuments are correctly illegal. They should be in Canada for the same reason they are in Germany.
    23
  37. They tolerate the far right as it is under yoke, they really hate the economic left because it is coming their share.
    22
  38.  @societylost4344  where is your attack on tucker for his homeless comment?
    22
  39. Not to mention there is no upside in criminalizing it which ruins lives and costs use money better spent on other things.
    22
  40.  @singersamwriter Joe is as square and conservative as any 75 year old can be. Coke parties? Biden may be corrupt but he is a breath of fresh air compared to the criminal Trumps. You are the one hyper focused on Biden son, your china claims are empty, you love trump. Dude, you own deranged.
    22
  41.  @alanj9978  You can't even define the term let alone explain how health care was better before the word was weaponized against to specific brand of the ignorant.
    21
  42. Pro birth is not the same as pro life.
    21
  43.  @daniellove162  Are you implying their choices are good, or honest? They disliked her because she did not tow the corperate party line not because of any of their nonsense pushed in media. The fact the establishment disliked her gave her far more credibility than she ever earned. Such is the value of their bought and paid for judgment.
    21
  44. The term seems as messed up as the Democratic Republic of North Korea.
    20
  45. but our profits.... is a weak come back and they know it
    20
  46. They are the very definition of political propagandists.

  47. You are going to wait a long time. In my experience free market libertarians are really closit facists.
    19
  48.  HIM Solar Gate  Do both.
    19
  49. The idea you are violating anyone's rights by asking a question is entirely mindless.
    18
  50. Call his bluff, answer in kind and make us gas prices spike! Canada is the second largest producer of oil and gas after the US.
    18
  51.  @jase_allen  We can, they choose not to
    18
  52.  @jupitercyclops6521  That he was too nice does not mean he was not rational. That we wanted for him to be more cut throat does not mean we should have expected it. That is not who Bernie is, he was never a go for a the throat sort of guy. He walked the walk for 30 years in a city no one respected or listened to what he said. He created a path to actually oppose the corruption we see and others will now pick up the torch and move forward. He has stood on the correct side against corruption his entire carrier even up to right now. He has literally inspired a movement against corruption whose leaders are getting elected as we speak to stand up for us. That his style was not bombastic or aggressive as you would like does not make less cogent than the clowns he was compared to.

  53. Since when are Nazi's were recognized as a protectected class?

  54. It really might help Jamal more than it helps the walking corpse she supported.
    17
  55. Fun fact, of all the 10 commandments only 2 are worthy of being actual laws, most of them just tell you how glorify a thin skinned deity.
    16
  56. No questions on how to spend 4 trillion to the banks and the richest? Only on how that money get spent on people.
    16
  57. Actual supply chain problems, Oil company proffering have a large hand to play too.
    15
  58. I have found the value of the respective analysis is consistently not of equal value or veracity. Rand Paul does not attack Fauci on valid things and instead spits sound bites to get donations. Fauci has lied to us but only in service to the establishment that owns him. Examples are that masks did not work and later his support for shorting quarantine. Fauci's actual failures are never mentioned by the likes of Paul. The GOP including Rand has turned a middle of the road establishment bureaucrat with almost no power into Goring for sharing what the vast majority of scientists think and the rest of the planets health systems enact. Fauci has failed in the past but only because he bowed to the same assholes that own Rand. Fauci's flip flopping on masks during the trump admin and supporting a 5 day quarantine on direction of the Biden admin are both political in nature and that is his failing. Everything Rand does is political nonsense of spun "facts" and can be dismissed as such.
    15
  59. Libertarian's use the word morality in a way that ignores the policy they fight for is consistently immoral.
    15
  60. Every single democrat who stands in the way needs to be hard core replaced.
    15
  61. It will only make him stronger.
    15
  62. That is why Engel has rejected all his endorsements, oh wait ....
    14
  63. One has to fail pretty to hard to be that bad.
    14
  64. Centrist page: 1) The very least they can do for the people, the very most they can do for donors.
    14
  65. Hard to argue. He is bad but Joe is magnitudes worse.
    14
  66. I welcome their fear. It means we are going the correct way.
    14
  67. Credit to her humility, it is not something we see from many experts these days.
    13
  68. Nice to see him trying at least instead of ignoring what is going on like the church is known to do.
    13
  69.  @diegoarmando5489  Never vote con. Not ever.
    13
  70. Anytime you hear bipartisanship on the main stream media it means ignoring working people.
    13
  71. The wool is not over the public's eyes like it was back in Bush's day, faith in the establishment media narrative is at an all time low. They will try but not pull it off but it will not work in the same way it has before.
    13
  72.  @alanpaulsen6174  He is a puppet controlled by the same puppet masters that own the Conservatives. He just panders to a different base while applying the same kind of status quo economic and social policy. He is a guardian for the establishment because that is why he was picked for the role.
    13
  73.  Ms Taylor  nonsense. raising money from voters to support candidates who do not take corperate or billionaire money is good thing. unilaterally surrendering to the status quo is painfully nieve or dishonest suggestion. What is your concern anyway?
    13
  74. It not surprising she regards ethics and politics as a separate, it is clear she does not value them.
    12
  75. It will change the nature of making movies. It opens the door to doing some interesting things which were formerly prohibited by the resources it would take to make the same content. These tools will be used in addition to more conventional film making, it won't replace it.
    12
  76.  艾米  Conservatives never get to cry about the debt again, you run it up every single time with useless wars and giveaways to billionaires. Your boo whoing as you pretend to care about debt now will be laughed at as it always should have been.
    12
  77. Good, the corporate dems are a stone around our neck and are the reason we do not win every time.
    12
  78. He owes them everything.
    12
  79. lol .. sums it up!
    12
  80. Why not fight hate, global warming, big oil? What is meh about that? What would excite the likes of you?
    11
  81. That is eminently reasonable ...
    11
  82. I think she should force change with her vote but see a symbolic vote that that will fail and tell us nothing new as of limited value. We already know who does not support it. Those like Kamala can vote for it as a lie just like cosponsoring lists, it will not pass anyway. The vote says nothing about their real position I am a warrior for M4A and understand how badly we need it. But I do not see this strategy as the correct way to spend our limited political currency right now.
    11
  83. This spin boiled down is always ugly.
    11
  84.  @Anon123anon  The options were slim and none, she does not have leadership nor does she set leaderships policy. The choices she has are slim and none, they need more votes to gain power . Voting against her in the best case scenario will change nothing while estranging all contact with the party or possibly put a GOP speaker in power. Which would you prefer?
    11
  85.  @Bluebelle51  Another issue we need to address! Being an abusive asshole who is missing basic human empathy should preclude you from the job.
    11
  86. issa osama What we do know scientifically shows it should not be illegal and making it so has caused far more harm than good. Is anyone suggesting we sell it in candy stores, no. Everyone who seriously discuss's the subject understands that the largest health concerns attached to use by the young are better addressed by legalization than not. I have seen all of these concerns before but none of preclude the direction we are going. Glad you agree, I am not sure there is any other principled informed position to have. Criminalizing it has been a total failure and has prevented the very research which will answer the outstanding questions we have. In the mean time I will reiterate the down sides such as they may be pale in the damage done and massive amount of tax payer money wasted by our historical treatment of the drug.
    11
  87. Easily.
    11
  88. They love when he is is a monster.
    11
  89. Why would anyone do that? Why would anyone hand a seat to a party who has a such dubious focus. This black woman leader spin is the worst green party talking point yet. This identity card they attempt to play is super weak sauce as she pretends Jagmeet is hypocritical or that the situations are the same
    11
  90.  Ms Taylor  There is no reason for new Yorkers to fund the richest corprations expansion. You assholes love welfare for the elite.
    11
  91. They should not allow people with dementia to serve ...
    11
  92. Only the ignorant assume what they are used to represents everyone.
    10
  93. Some are, it's culture is has real significant problems as any paramilitary group does.
    10
  94. It is like complaining we can not end indentured servitude because I completed mine after working for 30 years.
    10
  95. We see them as the heart of the party, that is in spite of the fact they are not popular and are paid to lose.

  96. Until he said if you are young and healthy do not get it, he had to ruin it.
    10
  97. And entirely the feature not the bug. The root of the failure is corruption.
    10
  98.  Roof Korean  Not really, the fact is Bernie never got same kind of coverage. Bernie got bumps for being on fox this cycle and one of his main challenges he faced was that the media ignored him unlike Trump in 2016. If the media even fox covered him as incessantly as everyone covered trump in 2016 he would have crushed hillary just like Trump crushed his GOP challengers.
    10
  99. This should be no surprise, this is what they do. Sell out the provinces legacy.
    10
  100. As they ignore thoer presidential candiate is up for a list of serious felony charges.
    9
  101. It is a pretty big step for these guys considering how far behind the curve their standard position is. Lets take the wins where we get them, they are not that common.
    9
  102. Sounds like everyone has them, that being said hiding them from the authorities after they request them back needs to be treated seriously. Finding some and turning them over is a different thing entirely.
    9
  103. issa osma You literally physically can not consume enough to overdose on cannabis. No one promotes ignoring "bad effects" but those issues pale in compression to the many downsides and ruined lives because it was made illegal. She had to change as having the same policy as Jeff Sessions in this day and age in Cali should be a political death sentence.
    9
  104. It is an old school thing. A take corporations have long since abandoned in the hunt for a few more points next quarter. That they expect loyalty back after showing none is deeply out of touch.
    9
  105. We can point out small wins like this, we deserve to get a few.
    9
  106. The sane will be angry, those who value our democracy, those who value the rule of law and the integrity of elections will be livid. His cultists will continue to worship the criminal man baby.
    9
  107.  @cookiecuteasapuppy1008  no reason to empower criminals who commit voter fraud.
    9
  108. No one should be surprised, this is what she has been doing for a very long time. She is basically a 90's republican, a version that was always crooked before they went insane.
    9
  109. This need to be said over and over
    9
  110.  Roof Korean  Even as they slam him he gets press. There is saying all press is good press and they babble so often people no longer pay attention for more than a few minutes while getting his face out there. The media is not well liked and he gains some credit as they hack on him for what are considered trivial things at this point.
    9
  111.  @houghjass5631  All hospitals in Canada are public, that means they are funded by the government. Unlike the US philanthropy is not the main support for these utilities.
    9
  112.  @johngawrylash7732  So climbing the hospital with "Jewish name" is an attack on Jewish people? Do you really think that?
    9
  113. Talking .. he and Cenk agree on a great deal
    9
  114. ​ @xRiddleMeThisYouTube  Instead they ended 50 times more that you want to ignore for some reason.

  115. You will be able to pick whole boxes when they pile them but the dumpster. They should burn well.
    9
  116.  Da Co  Biden said he would veto Medicare for all. Biden is putting anti-gay marrage Republicans in his cabinet. Buddy is spot on.
    9
  117. They can't the republican's have taken themselves out of the loop. They are supporting nothing.
    9
  118. Check that, Jimmy is a dishonest goof and grifter chasing right wing spin.
    9
  119.  @RextheRebel  I am consistnat, if management of an organization ignores it's leadership it should be fired. These public servants are in place to enact will of the leadership in office. No one should want these chodes setting thier own polcy.
    8
  120. And whose slogan is facts do not care about your feelings, they are all jokes all the time.
    8
  121. He is a common establishment democrat, more interested in talking points and incrementalism than actually opposing the GOP intransigence. His push back sometimes is good, but less so because we know what is behind it.
    8
  122. Because he is a half wit.
    8
  123. Unconcerned about their irony as always.
    8
  124.  @3fingrsalute687  Silly, you have bought into their rhetoric and spit their spin with this nonsense. The only reason these polices are as popular as they are is because of Bernie. Calm down Jimmy, calm down.
    8
  125. It certainly draws a better distinction between the liberals and the cons.
    8
  126. ANYONE that buys this spin about him caring for working people is deluded, this is a party wholly owned by the rich and as a side by religious fanatics.
    8
  127. The reports are really saving you time listening to the half wit yourself. You only have to look once to understand the value of the service.
    8
  128. I see that this is a step in that direction, is it not?
    8
  129. The leader of the government can.
    8
  130. Lobbiest money
    8
  131. He is like broken clock and is mostly always wrong. No one should listen to him on anything.
    8
  132. Physical quest ... He did.
    8
  133.  cassl14 Bernie was limited in his atracks and now they ferment anger based on his lack of viciousness. This garbage demonzing him as the enemy plays into the establishment narrative. The fact is he was never aggressive even if that is what was needed to win. Painting him as failure because he did not play troll has little value and that was never his promise from the start. I personnaly would have liked him to be much harder and call these monsters out. That being said he showed us how they can be beaten and laid the first bricks on the path to ending the corporate monopoly in our leadership. I know it is hard to see now but we will owe him a debt as his vision comes alive under a more aggressive populist who will build on what he started.
    8
  134.  Ms Taylor  NO. Corperate and billionaire owned pac's are the problem. This pac only takes small dollar donations and only funds progressive challengers that oppose the traditional model that corrupts our system. Your ignorant and likely faux puritism is an example of cuttiing off your nose to spite your face. Where the money comes from matters! It seems you are badly missing the point.
    8
  135.  @ronniebaker4549  Go ahead and spit into the wind and look stupid. He was trying to help you sparky.
    8
  136. joe hiner No matter how you spin it they are not beholden to the corporate interests that own the leadership of both parties as it stands. Even the republicans understand this and were hoodwinked into supporting the fake populist tea party.
    8
  137. He is. They are the canadians version of the corperate democrats. Both the cons and the liberals both rush to back fossil fuel development and corperate tax cuts as a cure all instaed of looking to the future.
    8
  138.  @RextheRebel  Temporary ban, this makes sense because Biden's policy is not identical to Trumps. It seems they wanted a chance to evaluate the proprosed deportations on the docket. This is not a permenent ban but lock on them so kids are not sent home alone like these ones were. Ingoring your commander and chief as a public servent under his direct asupice should be grounds for dismissal.
    7
  139.  @kennethbanks1281  It is what they stand for that should matter, diversity is useless is it promotes a broken status quo.

  140. This is simply more proof he is a terrible, he has been bad for a very long time.

  141.  @anneanne9009  She told him have a WAP is a medical condition, you fill in the blanks.

  142. The chance diminishes daily as he wins. Once he hits majority there is illiterately nothing they can do. This should inspire us to fight even harder.

  143. I speak differtely when back home than when I am in the city. It happens naturally to many

  144. At least some will though, baby steps.
    7
  145. You are way more tolerant of their nonsense than me, good for you
    7
  146.  @BenFrankarts  Bernie's idea was brand new and counter to what the entire establishment is fully bought into. That he encountered brutal resistance and still came as far as he did forced open a door for others to walk through. This leaderships clear focus Bernie exposed has tore the mask off the establishment dems. It is just a matter of time for everyone still voting for them to see them for who they are.
    7
  147. Choice is a weasel word for privatization. Run don't walk away ...

  148.  @G0rdonFr33man  Religion of science? You win the the most brain damaged of the day award. Please note, no one is liking yours comments.
    7
  149. Can't have medical information that makes the dear leader look incompetent in circulation. Speaks to the trump admins sole focus. Suppressing infection counts during a pandemic, what could go wrong?
    7
  150. @Hopper33 No, not unless your pension is bolstered by shorting, or betting against stocks. Do not shed a single tear for these billionaire parasites.
    7
  151. Instead of moderates they need to called radical corporatists.
    7
  152. No one is forgetting ...
    7
  153. At least she will make a good run against them. She is free to go toe to toe on corruption, this is a tool establishment dems are forced to ignore because it cuts back on them hard too.
    7
  154. Better than pandering to donors which is what Sinema is doing.
    7
  155. All of them wanna be trump supporters too. It is pretty gross.
    7
  156. Always, it was a pollical ploy to criminalize inner cities who tend to vote democrat.
    7
  157.  @riderpaul  It appears you are mistaken. Taxing gains over a certain value only makes sense to me. when we are talking billions of dollars it is impossible to say the individual earned that money especially in the face of an economy where many have nothing through no fault of their own.. The value of stocks are speculative but at any given moment are actual and realizable. They part of your net worth in any other business context and are treated as tangible assets with rearguard to your credit or any other financial metric. Taxing on wealth and not just income is not a new concept and needs to be looked at much more seriously. We have crafted a system where gains like this at the cost of all of us made exempt from taxation empowering the cycle of income inequality that holds us so firmly now.
    7
  158.  @damianhayden7669  i have a list of them. Her agreeing with an asshole like Rubin and buying into the bullshit fact free open borders spin about her fellow Democrats was a total fail. Abandoning medicare for all to adopt a centrist insurance company freindly plan was a Biden like fail and a deal breaker for those who understand the policy and what drives it Voting for the anti bds garbage was idiocy and is more status quo failire. Taking a stupid and contradictory stance on her vote for impeachment is a final straw. She is correctly dismissed by the Bernie base as useless, we can do much better.
    7
  159. In america she is an excellent candidate to bring a string law suit against them. If they do not bring charges about unauthorized access it did not happen.

  160.  @ickystarsick9403  Israel alone is to blame this bombing, taking away all agency for what THEY do does not make sense. The warning means nothing and does not make the bombing any better.

  161. there are plenty of examples of that already. look them up

  162.  @nick.4.  If paid though our taxes it would be half the price. That is what should matter to the sane
    6
  163.  @dinnerwithfranklin  They are literally entirely identify based. White grievance, Anti Immigrant, religious fundamentalist, family traditionalist, gun rights advocate, etc, etc. They are totally identity focused. Both corporate parties are using it to keep power and by distracting us from what they are doing.
    6
  164. He is an asshole who thinks he hit a home run but stated half way in from third base.
    6
  165. He would be replaced with a con who would NEVER be better on any of these issues.

  166. Did not send a sold out message, he is not part of the corruption and is the only thing I have seen that can check it.

That she does not look embarrassed does not mean she does not feel her version of what that means, these cons have no shame but really dislike being called out and because their prepared talking points are ruined and they know they look silly. This is not about her shame but showing what she actually is ...

  171.  @Salsuero  The liberals did not do anything because because selling off facilities is easier than building them. That and both parties are owned by the drug industry. It is worth noting it was the cons that dusted Canadian capacity. History has shown there is no form of canadain innovation the cons are not willing to sacrifice for more cash to thier buddies. That both major parties are deeply terrible on this issue does not change the fact it was the cons that sold this ability off. Selling of necessary parts of the country to the highest bidder historically is a con goto move. I personally blame the cons because they are consistantly hand everything they can to mercenary mulitaional industry at the cost of actual Canadians. Liberals suck and may fumble but they at least have to pretend they intend to score for Canadians and not just the owner class.

  174. I am no fan of Trudeau, but this is a. puffed up nothing burger that disttacts from his real problems of acting like a conservitive on key issues. It is spin made to empower the cons. This is the gass plant all over, corruption and waste is discussed in very targeted way.

I had a subscription to him, at some point I could not take his style of interview anymore where he acted as a sounding board without any push back except to attack with the left and mindlessly nod along with shills. My dislike for him has nothing to do with him making money, it is his complete lack of principles and the terrible idiot talking points he relys on now that repels. me.

  177. And I could not disagree with them more. I see nothing they suggest as meaningful paths forward and they advocate for nothing more than the defacto status quo with policy which would lead to nothing but continued stagnation and division of progressives and the majority of Americans that support what we fight for.

  193.  @JohnSmith-hs1hn  But it does address the root of much of the concern. Happy well adjusted people are less susceptible to ideas like racism than those who are struggling and looking for scapegoat. Racism is addressed by experience and the lower your economic status the less experience you are likely to have trapping you in old the preconceptions of other immobile people. Will it eliminate racism? No. But it would go a long way to addressing the financial and resulting social angst that is harvested in it's promotion.

The idea they do not do anything is counterfactual nonsense that will cost lives. Your feelings and unfounded fear do not change the facts. Your feelings do not give you the right to put others on danger. If you choose to be medical Mennonite that is on you and no one.shoukd be harmed by your choices. Your freedom stops at the tip of your fingers and the end of everyone else's nose. You have no right disregard public health policy and never ever did. You have no idea what fascist means and prove it in an attempt to define it that does not validate your claim. No one is forcing you to take experimental drugs., Even if they did that policy is not facist. Facist and communist are litterally polar opposites economically you npc.

  199.  @3fingrsalute687  You are mistaken on what I buy into and what Bernie's goals were. The nonsense about a third party is whining from actual do nothing losers.. What he has done has opened new path for a third party but Bernie is working from within the system. If anything he has made the third party more viable and potentially competitive in the future. Bernie's policies are universally loathed by the establishment. Pretending he is their tool is ignorant or dishonest. He is threatening thier power more effectively than any third party ever has. He is setting what the base fights for against donor demands.

  200. Ford does not care about this issue as his record clearly shows, the list is already transparent and accountability means nothing in this context. The fact is the amount of money we are talking about here is a drop in the bucket as far as provincial spending is concerned. He whines about this while at the expense of the deficit plans to hand out more tax cuts to the very richest. I am mad at liberals for acting like cons in privatizing hydro, that no reason to vote for cons.

  202. I do not see this as true. The only reason progressives do not have more control is because they have traditionally had no power. That is changing and will accelerate as we stop putting in corporates incrimentalists who are so easy to hate that even the entirely corrupt republicans can correctly paint then as weak and feckless. The days of caving to corporate sellouts has to end and it is candidates like this guy who will be the spear head.

The liberals are bad because they toady to the same assholes the cons do. They lie because they are beholden to the same people the cons are. If you think this kind of lying, pandering and silencing of descent did not happen under Harper you were not paying attention. Liberals are bad, that does not mean the cons are better .. in fact the liberals are only terrible because in their current form they act too much like their conservative counter parts on economic and foreign affairs issues.

The cons are objectively worse if you care about canadains and not just specific multinationals finances. The issue of being caught flat footed on immunizaton producton is primarily owned by cons. I have pandemic criticism for liberals but cons own this specific failure.

  248.  @Salsuero  I said what his excuse was, he is beholden to the same interests that own the cons. This is why he is opposing opening up patents. That being said Trudeau is not responsible for the clusterfuk that is Canada's vaccine access. He made the best of bad hand and was screwed over by corporations that had too much demand and not enough product to ship to us. One thing would have mitigated this issue. The capability that the cons sold. Tearing things down will always be easier than rebuilding. Canada needs to rebuild this lost capacity and buy the doses they can. He bought enough and you are now just awaiting shipment. Next step is to undo the brutal damage the cons did. Making it clear the cons screwed the country is part of that process

  268. Strangely even many of the hardest core Alex Jones type fans are just manifesting anger against this very issue. They rail against globalists they imagine are typified by the left. It is framed as the "lefts" problem when the think tanks who write their talking points are complicit. The end up acting as unwitting agents of the those they despise. We actually oppose the exact same people, those that buy governments and control things from behind the scenes. You just have to climb over mountains of really bad rhetoric to get there.

Trump won because Obama promised real change and gave us incrementalism on behalf of the same donors that own the GOP. Trump won becuase they forced an unpopular and useless Hillary on us even while she spat on her base calling them names while promising nothing would change. Trump still lost the popular vote. Your spin is brain dead. I do not like Joe either, but I live in reality. Good luck finding it.

  276.  Da Co  Dude that speaks to his own hypocrisy but does not change the facts I shared with you. I have no doubt the republicans would do their worst to our health care system and I do not support them in any way or fashion. I am the GOP's opponent in every single way including their 90's health care polices that are focused on making insurance companies money with no cost control like the ACA is. I do not advocate we go back, I advocate to go forward and give us all M4A eliminating them from our market ensuring all Americans are covered and can afford to get treated if sick at half the cost per person. Until I can have that I will be voting for Joe because most of his base agrees with me and trump and his republican allies are hard fails on every issue that matters.

Biden is not fundamentally better but at least he has not proven to be an open abject failure.

No one elected these assholes to set policy.

We know the co-sponsor list is tainted because not everyone who sponsored it actually supports the policy, how will this vote on M4A be any different than the existing list? Since it will not pass it does not matter if the dishonest vote for it much like they co-sponsor the bill with out actually supporting it. This demand for a vote blows our political capital we should be spending in a more productive way on a vote which will change nothing besides possibly setting M4A back.

  326.  @dinnerwithfranklin  I do not balk at identifying the group responsible. It rests on the shoulders of those who derive most benefit from the status quo. A group that reaps huge personal rewards for promoting policy that is consistently unpopular but highly lucrative for a tiny minority. I would argue both parties are doing the exact same thing and their difference is theater to cover for how they are the same. This should not be surprising as they are serving the same masters and their voters are always an afterthought. Both are using the same tool targeted at the different audiences with the exact same goal. Promote economic business as usual for their owners. Until recent history candidates for either party were first chosen by the money primary and were sheparded into power by the party establishment controlled by money as well. This has been the standard for a long time and explains why both parties are consistently much more focused on identity issues than the general public is. For me the key difference between the parties is what the respective base of each wants. The dems would be far worse with out their moderating influence while the GOP is running off a cliff chasing thiers.

  339.  @adifferentpolitics5129  Bernie is well positioned no to win in the south. In 2016 he only got stronger the more he exposed hillary as weak. People did not even know Bernie in 2016 and the dems forced those states early hoping to give votes to Clinton before they heard too much of him. He does not have that issue today and Biden is in a far weaker position now than Hilary ever was. She still nearly lost even with a giant head start Joe never had. Biden is not staring this race with a 98 point lead like Hillary did and there is no way he will maintain the razor thin one he has in the same way Hillary did maintain her huge lead even with full media support as the race went on. The more people see these neo liberal do nothing shills the more they dislike them. Biden has nothing to offer anyone but the donors. He has been held the thin lead he has now because of voter ignorance that gets more diluted the longer he runs. Look at hillary against Bernie last primary, the longer the race lasted the weaker she got. Biden starts much much weaker than she did and has almost no room to move and still be viable.

  342.  @JohnSmith-hs1hn  The populist racism harnessed by trump is primarily rooted in social discontent which in turn is built on economic angst. Economic hardship is the soil in which discontent and anger grow best. The more anyone is exposed to the world and other perspectives the less racism makes sense. Economic stability and comfort is what best supports that pursuit. Those economically pressed will have less opportunities to learn the lessons that preclude one from being racist. The correlation of poverty with racism and the rise of racist movements is well established despite your hand picked studies.

He needed to paint his colleagues as radical. Point out supporting the Iraq war was radical, talking about cutting social security is radical, to bail out banks and hold no one to account, radical, to be against M4A, radical. You get the point, What he did do is show us a template on how to beat them going forward. We owe Bernie a debt of thanks even if he did not take us all the way.

Most business's are not running at the razor edge and any of them that need those kind of wages to survive do not have a sound one. The stats show we are not losing jobs because of this change. Some local business's are reporting greater sales as people have more money to spend.
    3
  383. mott orcycle Your spin is strait out of the mouth of corporations who write your talking points. Pretending the min wage increase helps the "upper class" folks and not low income families is not well connected to reality. This response of yours does not even make sense. Prices always rise and you can not show they have risen faster because of this change. The lowest paid people getting more does help with the collecting of taxes (which helps us all) but also puts more money in the hands of those workers creating additional new demand which translates to more jobs. No one ever hires anyone unless they have need of that person because the demand requires it. The path to retailers getting electronic checkouts was already happening long before the min wage and blaming them on the increase is silly.

  384.  @mikejohnson9606  I did read the report and it is not clear you did. This partisan conservative spun study lays out the costs and even their assessment is 2 trillion cheaper. This is not up for debate and by every single study medicare costs less not more. This is because simply cutting out multiple middle men with their massive overhead and need for profit is directly invested back into the system. Couple that with medicare's much cheaper overhead costs and and an ability to negotiate drug prices and the system saves consumers money. We pay double what the rest of the first world pays for health care per capta and their systems covers all their citizens and bankrupts no one on behalf of the insurer's profit motive. Quit pretending the data backs you, it does not. When you have to lie to make your point you do not have an argument. On the ACA it was the deeply conservative crony capitalist Heritage foundation plan, it was not "the democrats plan" and was better than what we had but was signed into law by Romney and later was was touted as the free market solution to health care by the GOP. It was literally the republican plan before they went insane and several GOP leaders ran with it as their proposal while the democrats ran on a public option or single payer. The base of the democratic party openly objected to the ACA on the grounds it was the con plan and wanted at least a public option which was rejected by the establishment democrats that do not and never have served their base as they are republican light and suffer from donor control just like the GOP. Look up the "liberal" Heritage foundation and get back to me, they should never ever be writing democratic policy and if they do the leaders that push it should be running for the GOP. This gives you a little of the history so you do not say uniformed things in public because someone was lying to you. https://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/15/health/policy/health-care-mandate-was-first-backed-by-conservatives.html

  399.  Da Co  I am not rewriting anything and it is true republicans do not want people to have health care. They are the party of obstruction and overt corporate greed. That does not change the fact the ACA was written by the Heritage foundation a right wing think tank and was what Mitt Romney instituted when governor. The current DNC that defends the ACA empowers the broken for profit insurance companies. It was certainly better than what we had but was a half measure meant to leave them in power and actually enrich them. They stand by this as the solution because they are paid by the insurance industry in spite of massive support in their base for change. If Biden was serious about getting all Americans health care he would be supporting the M4A, he is not and that is very very telling.

  434. @DolphinsWIthIgloos Nonsense. Judges do not pick or fire department heads. This is not a matter of law but one of governance. A role that is the presidency's primary focus. This is about operational procedure and policy not legal status. In our system that is set at the top not by middle managers serving the last admin.

  435. When criticizing your politicians saying it is bullying is betrayed by who actually has power and who is supposed to be beholden to the other. Our leaders are supposed to be motivated by criticism and desires of their voters. They in no way should ever be insulted from it.

  445.  @benmidnightflame  Our vision of what is happening is actually really closely aligned. It is their similarities I am am concerned about and when these two groups have bi partisan consensus it is consistently bad for us. I see the primary difference between these parties is the focus of their respective voters. The democrats are pushed to be better because their base demands it. They attempt to meet this with incremental changes that does not rocks the boat least for the donors. The GOP is not hampered with this restriction. The GOP base demands entirely different policy (primarily based on the media they consume) and I would argue many feel super served by the GOP despite the fact they have every problem the dems do. The dems struggle to connect with their base while placating donors making the party weaker in a toe to toe contest.

  446. Except for her bizzare actions and the fact she ramdomly parrots gop talking points. You are fucking blind if you do mot see it. Tulsi is dishonest goof angling for a job in conservitive media. Pretending david is towing an estanlishment line is idiocy.

  449.  @dwightlove3704  The police's first role in our system was to hunt down runaway slaves, it should not be surprising they continue step on those they are tasked to oppress. Keeping labor in line has always been the first roll or our police forces. Be is slave labor or later union. In the modern era they have branched out in dealing with domestic abuse, mental issues and a hundred others issues that would be better dealt with by deescalation then sending in a thug. Instead we send in trained trigger happy head breakers who start every single interaction in pants shitting fear for their own lives as per our paramilitary police doctrine. The cops most certainly saw those people as nails then, sadly not as much has changed as it should have.

  450.  @dwightlove3704  I have ... I am well aware of the nature and origin of law enforcement as well has how it has been both traditionally and more currently employed. Ps: When I used the word entitled in my original post I was not referring to anyone by race. I was talking about the powerful social class above us who live by a different set of rules. Cops defer to the powerful and rich and give them leeway and deference they give no normal citizen of any skin tone.

  453. This is a failing strategy that hands power to the corporatists and the existing parties would be so happy to see pushed. We need to tear the party from the the hands of the shills and replace them. That effort has just started and is already bearing fruit. I see no reason to abandon the plan to push a strategy that ensures we have no voice in the governance of our country at all. Bernie is smart and is doing the righting thing attacking the machine from within. If we are to ever take back our country one of the two major parties needs to be pulled from the hands of the shills as our system is rigged to hand power to one of them. Bernie going green would have been a giant set back and I see no reason the leave the corporate democrats at our back with knives, we need to face them and take them out one by one in primaries as they are not popular.

  459.  @christianhairston7510  The only way the vote is possible is with the spending of political currency. You can only demand so much for your support, I just see this as a poor use of it at this time we have a limited amount and a long list of needs.
    2
  460.  @Greendalewitch  We are not remotely close to an election. I am not sure how "bringing pressure" right now just as they start a new term changes anything. Voters historically have ridiculously short memories and this seems a poor time to force the vote if we want to use it as a tool in the primaries. We have a great deal of other valid asks on our plate right now that will arguably move the needle further in the direction we need it to go in the here and now. I do believe we need to leverage our votes to advance our priorities. I am not convinced this is the best use of our limited political capital as I see few gains and lots of potential downsides while achieving nothing of substance.
    2
  461.  @Greendalewitch  Pelosi feels no pressure on M4A no matter what. If she does stage this vote under "pressure" she will then paint it as validating her as both fair and a correct when it fails. Biden just won as he said he would veto M4A and sadly since the primaries it no longer enjoys the support it once did at it's height. The support has declined because it is out of the spotlight and is out of mind of many voters who only consume corporate media. Meanwhile unsurprisingly the public option has gotten more popular. I am unconcerned about our ability to make M4A popular again. All we really have to do is put it in the news cycle. Doing so would be even more effective and easy during a pandemic as you correctly point out. That being said I point to the fact that in a short amount of time the corporate media has managed to dim M4A's popularity as it fell out of the news cycle and was no longer pushed. This makes it clear to me our bump in support has a limited shelf life if we do not capitalize on it. I am concerned that playing that card now will give the corporate stooges too long to mitigate it with spin and lies and crush what we gained before the primaries where it would be of most use. Expending the capital in this way precludes us from spending it on others. It takes other options off the table and to me this is arguably the biggest downside. This is if they do not successfully use it in a media fest to attack the policy and paint the lost vote as a failure of the fringe undermining the exercise entirely. We already have a battalion of establishment democrats to put pressure on for this issue including the president. We should be doing so as we speak by contacting them and letting them know how we feel. Demonizing any of the few leaders that actually represent ideas we stand for because you do not share their political strategy is only counter productive in my eyes.
    2
  462. @o oo I too do not see the giant upside, we know the media can burn up support given time. I do not see investing in promoting M4A when it can not pass just after an election as the best use of our limited capital.

  463. Or time to rip the party from their hands .. after all their ideas are not popular and they apparently can not win elections where the candidates have a voice.

  464.  @jonathanedward7895  That he is too much like a republican should help democrats pick who is president in the next primary. The establishment of both parties needs to be replaced, that does not change getting back into the Paris agreement is a step forward.

  465.  @jonathanedward7895  In its current state it is no where near healthy enough. There are signs of positive change and the fact there is a movement inside it that has a voice and momentum that rejects corruption there is some hope in an otherwise pretty blasted landscape.

  474. He is shooting at his own base as he attacks progressives. This is why he did not crush trump. The GOP is a going to hate him no matter what he does, he needs to get this fact through his head. Catch up Joe, this is not the 90's.

This is a fight they have to hold the line on, I do not see the leadership vote as the same thing.

Short answer is yes, it is their job to create opportunities and growth within society with our tax dollars especially if it generates more than it costs.

  516.  @bherber  the idea that Biden is the best option to win is empty. it is the exact same clearly failed claim Hillary made before losing. The establishment candidates spit on a large segment of their own base chasing a mythical center right constituency that has continually voted GOP when given a choice between republicans and GOP light. The establishment donor owned dems excite no one but the media and need to be rejected The fact is Bernie puts states in play the democrats have long gave up in. Hillary lost the rust belt to Trump after arrogantly not even campaigning there. you have to stop pretending the Hillary or how knows how to win or are popular anywhere. They lost in the places you say we need undermining your own argument.

  521.  @atthecore4560  If you believe the conservatives are EVER going to ban lobbying you have not been paying attention. There is a reason you see a con ad every 10 minutes and it is because of his big money donors who love lobbying. Lobbyists are the problem but expecting them to address that issue is like expecting Trump to clean up the swamp as he puts former lobbyists in cabinet posts of the department they used to lobby.
    2
  522. And avoid using conservative talking points to attack the liberals. The only attack on liberals should be that they are too much like the conservatives on economics. They need to stand out and one does not do that by taking up the silly talking points that both establishment parties use to snipe each other.

  523. curtflirt2 All "high dignitaries"' deserve extra scrutiny and more tough questioning not less. They are invested with great responsibility so they should be held to task on consistency more than normal citizens. That idea our leaders should get automatic "respect" is an authoritarian principle I see as having zero merit. Asking our leaders to defend their own record should be the very least they should be expected to do. The days of kings and queens are now behind us .. these leaders including her work for us. Please give me the names of journalists you imagine were jailed in the UK for asking tough questions to a leader, ideally make sue to note what year it was. I suspect the number of journalists in the post monarchy era list is pretty short .. She is a consummate politician and not she showing what she feels is treasured skill. She was on the wrong side of history and pretends she was not, calling out her position is more than fair and she should own her record and not try to hide what she really feels. It is her choice to be duplicitous and paper over her record and you for some reason want to ignore that even as she pretends to support the now currently PC position diametrically opposite her old one. If you agreed with her pro apartheid spin in the past there is no reason support her now as she no longer does. If you are anti apartheid there never was a reason to support her because even as she changed her positions she did it kicking and screaming while backing the losers. Either way she is a disingenuous politician who has no values of her own and does what is politically expedient .. nothing more. Exposing that truth has value to all voters that support or oppose her and is what the press is supposed to do in service to us in a free country.
    2
  524. curtfilrt2 They most certainly deserve this scrutiny. If it was not racism they were defending then they should be expected to describe the "crucial things" they defended and economic interests they served. Respect for high dignitaries as you describe them has no value if what they represent is corrupt or they are forced to hide what they really stand for to be socially acceptable. No leader should have anywhere to hide when they demonstrate hypocracy and it is the free medias job to call it out. Anything else is a demand to ignore what they really stand for and who actually sets their policy.

  525. Who cares who they blame, we all know why she lost and more and more people are seeing it daily. Replace Trump and the fight to bend or break Biden begins day one!

  542. sharper68 Only if people can not remember what mess his brother was or how terrible the Cons were last time before we booted them from power. That it appears many voters have the memory of a fruit fly means his winning is a distinct possibility. That is why we need to remind everyone what an over mess they were. Your silly talking points about him not demanding a cent help because they read like satire, keep up the good work.
    2
  543.  @adifferentpolitics5129  Biden and the neo liberals are total fails. They have never won in the south before and expecting them to win now is stupid. The fact is these are red states until they are put in play as purple states by an actual populist. The business as usual dems who have consistently lost do not. The narrative Biden is good for us anywhere has to be crushed as it is fact free. He is hillary 2.0 and as that brand of failure needs to be called that every time anyone shares your ignorant spin.
    2
  544.  @charlesspeaksthetruth4334  This poorly thought out as you have a candidate who will guarantee you better fordable access to health care many in your community currently do not now. He seeks to reform the justice system a change that primarily benefit minority communities. He seeks better options education and jobs based on aptitude and that greatly benefits poor and minority communities first. The spin there is no one in the race for the black community is nonsense. Just because he works for all people does not mean he does not work for black people too.
    2
  545.  @adifferentpolitics5129  Comparing this to 2016 is a fail as Bernie is far stronger this cycle than last and only gets stronger the longer he runs. No establishment candidate can claim the same.
    2
  546.  @adifferentpolitics5129  Dude he is essentially statistically tied for the lead or just behind in Iowa now. All of these polls all greatly under estimate his support because they are only based on "likely" voters and ignore a giant constituency the media pretends does not exist. He is crushing. You have nothing but faint hopes and ignorance, Mayor Pete is on his way down as Bernie continues to rise. Please note Biden trails distantly behind both of them in Iowa. In 2016 he got 49.6 to Hillary's 49.8, he is far stronger this cycle than he was against her. He has more money, more volunteers and much higher name recognition. Bragging about the smallest of wins when you are the pre-assumed leader with every media and establishment advantage is not a sign of strength. It is the telegraphing of an innate weakness that is a proven fail in the general.

  549.  Pilfer Bean  I honestly do not see her age as the primary problem. She is beholden to and is an icon of a system that is entirely corrupt. The bubble she is in promotes stasis and at it's best gradualism. Those like her are affected by a type of insular group think where common wisdom is turned on its head. She may even think that she is right and believe she is not selling out. But that does not change that at the very best her bubble precludes her from understanding the seriousness of the issue. Her age is not the problem, her very limited perspective and that she is deeply detached from normal people is the root of it.
    2
  550. I could not agree with you more .. adopting the least popular social positions that are already owned by the GOP is a losing strategy. Being a half wishy washy version of a republican is a failure of a strategy that will keep on losing.

  565.  @josephbourassa2155  The Russian's fail in the same way the Nazi's do. Pretending they are not authoritarian stains who subvert minority rights, criminalize any decent is dopy and out of touch. The fact there are Nazi's in Ukraine is no reason to throw the rest of the country under the bus. Especially to a group of overtly authoritarian invaders who are objectionable primarily because they share many key Nazi failings. Pretending support for Putin's Russia is on behalf of being anti fascist is betrayed by the fact the Russians are a goose step away from overtly fascist themselves. A single battalion does not represent Ukraine anymore than a group of fascist NPC's waving Nazi flags represent all people here. You need to stop pretending to care about Nazi's as you cheer on a modern version of Hitler invading Ukraine instead of Poland this time

  578. the op kingdom We have to continue to fight the democratic establishment as I see no reason to leave them at our back. We do not have to expect them to give way, we can and should tear it from their hands as the last time anyone checked the establishment is not popular and is eminently beatable at their own game. There is a great deal of evidence a progressive can win a primary in the democratic party but the idea we should not try is poorly thought out defeatist nonsense. We need to push all options as David is saying and if you have a good progressive candidate in your region vote for them otherwise support a candidate that will serve you. The green party has a progressive platform but much more work has to be done before it is viable. It will not matter if they have the ballot on all 50 states as they will not even be in the spotlight. The development of the party is a labor that will not be remotely viable by 2020 and the effort to unseat the corporate dems has to continue from within the party in the mean time if we are to have any representation at all. You can not talk reasonably about the democratic party as being unassailable while waving the flag of the green party as a viable option. It is necessary to forge a new party but the fact it is pie in the sky to imagine they are going to make major headway in 2020. if you think that the loser establishment candidates can not be beaten toe to toe in the primaries I am not sure why you imagine an upstart party who is not even in the debates. The only thing the green party you imagine is going to do is sap power away from the dems and give the GOP 4 more years. The key this election and in the short term will be to primary as many of the establishment sellouts as possible and take the party from therm. .
    2
  579. Justin B I see nothing wrong with his logic or reasoning. We do need a third party but if you think we are going to have one intact and winning by next election then it is your reasoning that is in question. This has to be an all hands on board fight and part of that fight is tearing power from the hands of the DNC in places where it is viable. We also need to build at least a third party that can be competitive but to abandon our fight with the dems while expecting green party candidates to take their seats next election while not bothering to primary them is nothing but a path to handing them second billing while the gop wins.

  587. DootDoot I watched it happen in real time and there were voices who spoke out but they were quickly silenced last time and they do not have the capacity to do the same thing now. My point is the propaganda machine is still here but does not have the unilateral power it did in the early 90's. People are more aware than ever what these leaders are willing to do to enact war policy they want to push and the spin they used in the past will be ever less effective. They may pull it off again but I suspect every time they play the same trick in living memory they reduce it's effectiveness.

  590. bricknose Verbally calling out and shaming a known shill and liar is not murder or violence, a hillary or any Iraq war voting loser should probably face the same treatment to make them cognoscente of their votes having ramifications not just for others but for them. No sane voice in this conversation is proposing violence so take your straw man away and do much better. Meeting naked disdain with unswerving civility is a licence to be ignored. We are entirely marginalized now, how much worse do you imagine it getting? I am not afraid of standing beside my views and I suspect you are the same, no one can effectively shame me for what I stand for. You may or may not have noticed the only ones calling for civility are those in power as they demonstrate it to monsters. How effective would rate the opposition of trump by the establishment democrats? Personally I would say shitty but then I care if things get fixed and bad policy gets the proper push back. They are far too civil measured against what we all face.

The spin he is anti-semetic is entirely fact free and the same people who supported apartheid until they no longer could get away with it and unilaterally support Israel no matter how many protesters they shoot or what they do. The Israel situation has direct parallels to SA and the Tories are on the wrong side of history here too as they support a fascist policy and work to suppress all honest valid descent as terrorism or racism.

  602.  @Salsuero  does matter. Inaction is not the same as overt distuctuon dispite your attempt to paint it as such. I am blaming the cons because they are the ones who killed the program. There are many times it is important to say both sides are equally bad. This is not one of them. Trudeau did buy enough vaccine. He just could not get it shipped here fast enough because we had to rely on forign suppliers.
    2
  603.  @Pacman398  I would argue he had no options besides the lousy ones given. Without a domestic production source he was at the mercy of the global supply chain seeking a product in massive demand. The reason why Canadians are in the place they are is rooted in a past you apparently want to ignore. The solution going forward is to restart their production capacity with a promise to electorally punish anyone that attacks it again. It is pretty clear you are the one "politicizing" the virus here. I am just laying blame on this issue where it is due. Trudeau has real and definitive faults and has made mistakes during this pandemic. Canada's limited shipments of vaccines are not among them.

Bernie was not a hard core as I would have chosen but he opened the door to change. I intend to walk through it.

  608.  @Guerrilla727  Your spin is stupid and empty. There would be no options at all without Bernie and popular policies like M4A nd the $15 would be dead in the water. You have been listening to liars and grifters. There is nothing progressives could have done about Nancy except put in someone worse. Like I said your spin is really really dumb Jimmy. The idea progressives always lose is a feature of your poor focus and how much power the corrupt had to start. with. Even though they own the media our ideas are ever more popular and the establishments are NOT. As the DNC continues to oppose policy their voters want but the donors hate they make themselves ever less relevant. The establishment shills are weak because they are forced to spit on their own base for donor cash. That is not a tenable position long term for them and their days are numbered, it is just a matter of time til they bend or break. Your shill crafted garbage tacitly backs a broken status quo and is not only myopic it is deeply unpopular. Most see it for exactly what it is these days. Your corruption bag licking talking points have consistently made Bernie stronger as they drive reasonable people away. Keep up the good work. Enjoy barfing silly transparently empty spin that serves corruption while apparently not having any dream at all.

  611. Command_unit And the Israeli forces fell for it again using broadly lethal force against "aggressive protests" with no loss's or injuries. The defense forces are either stupid to fall for what they describe as a tactic over and over or they complicit in it and want to murder protesters. It seems to be the latter and blaming protesters who have no other viable options for getting murdered while protesting even if it is "aggressive protest" is indefensible..

  616.  michael nola  Your points are valid and I do not dispute them. The fact is Biden is a shit show, they both are. I do understand your point of view but do not see what my saying I will withhold my vote from him will do. Ya I might vote for Trump in that case, but there is a bounds of reason. I could understand if you hit yours with Biden. To me seemed like symbolic resistance that is most likely to encourage the admittedly greater evil. But to see Biden as a Trump like figure and write him off is totally fair. It would all be a matter of personal scale of tolerance. I understand that you are making your stand on principle, I am too just a different way. If you ask me the plan should be to build on the smoke we have and turn it to fire. We have a core to build on, there is a large number of organized active people willing to resist from the populist left. I see fighting Biden as easier because he has to at least pretend to pay attention and take notice of a large contingent of protesting "democrats" meaning diverse crowds not bearing arms and wearing tricorn hats. We have to organize and find ways to motivate and engage voters to look closer at their leaders to ready them for primaries before they are primaried as a public service. We have to encourage the young people we know to vote by giving them something to vote for instead of against and make it clear . I do not see abandoning the party as the only path because I do not want to leave corporate drones consolidated at our backs with knives as we move forward. They are beatable and I see no reason to give up on beating them. We have to get off our ass and stop expecting a savoir, if this is ever going to change it has to start with us. All that being said without some act of god nothing substantial is going to change before November. I do not see giving Trump another term as having any upside as I move forward. I am not campaigning for Biden but if he is the choice against trump I will hold my nose and vote for him before moving forward either way.

  618.  @user-ei9ns9hq6b  They are not left, they parrot right wing talking points on every left wing economic issue. The are establishment which promotes the status quo, business as usual, not the change the actual left craves. A cadre of billionaires who own the media consortiums support the existing system as it put them where they are now. They like the DNC they have no interest in the actual left as evidenced by their treatment of Bernie and left wing non corporate candidates in the primary. Both the dnc and the main stream media throw bones to the left on some social issues after the popularity of those issues hits a critical mass, especially if it does not cost billionaires any more money. Hillary Clinton was famously not pro gay marriage until 2014. Pretending the establishment is "left wing" has been shown to be a lie as they back right wing spin on everything from tax policy to endless funding of the military. You will never catch a CNN host asking how they are going to pay for the next giant military increase but mention health care and they want to see a plan. The main stream media purposely focus on silly issues to annoy and sew division between the people of the left and the right. They drive us apart using wedge issues and annoying fringe nonsense to keep us divided and fighting among ourselves. They work to stop us unifying and blaming those on top with the power to actually enact change. As a member of the left the main stream "left wing" media does not represent me at all and never has. Almost all the democrats are corporatist, the key difference in the parties is all the GOP is. You may not know that but it is a fact.

  620.  @SOZO_xo  I would encourage you to continue your training if you feel the need to have the weapon at hand. Range training is good, defense or tactical training has great value too. It ensures you are better prepared if you are ever forced to use the weapon in an event. There are courses through many gun ranges where you learn to use the weapon in a self defense capacity more safely and effectively. I would challenge you that you owe the effort to yourself. Perhaps even to your own peace of mind. It is one thing to have the weapon at hand, it is another thing when you are very confident and trained in it's use. Hope you never ever need it, wish you the best.

  640. If the NDP wants to look more effective they have to focus on attacking the conservitives and only swinging at the liberals where they agree with the pc's. Many people vote for the liberals just to stop the cons and to get thier votes you need to be an attack dog against the right in order to appear strong agianst them. The ndp have a tendency to mirror many of the non policy attacks against the libs that the cons always focus on. These critiques enhance the credibility of the PCs while turning off voters who want to ensure the cons are stopped. The ndp too often shares distinctly non policy spin with the pc's attacking liberals making them appear oddly aligned. This is a bad look to anyone who votes against the right as a focus and it undermines the ndp as a viable option.
    2
  641.  @benjiboy69420  Calling out when any leader fails has value. I find the attacks on liberals without highlighting who would be better on this as by default going to the cons. That is my only point as it is not donors the cons need (they are already svelte), it is voters. What you are saying makes a great deal of sense and I agree. Pushing the liberals makes sense and empowering those who would do better should be a primary focus after that. Lighting up now, cheers.

  646. Time to tear the power from their hands at the primaries. Bernie almost won and that was before the establishment democrats were even exposed as the crooked clowns they are. We need to primary the old school corporate democrats and make the ones sitting on the fence empowering corruption with silence of complicity afraid for their jobs. Their position is not popular and is only in place because of the media backing them, but that has less and less value as people are waking up. We have to remember that the establishment is not popular nor have they been able to win elections. The idea the can not be beaten because they have legacy control of the levers of power is not borne about by the fact they are not winning anything. I say continue to fight them tooth and nail while building an opposition party. Vote for justice democrats, brand new congress etc, in the election if you have a choice, otherwise vote green and continue to build that party. We can let the dinosaurs go extinct by starving them of votes and replacing them with actual progressives from within, abandoning the party to let the sellouts have that entire democratic infrastructure from which they can continue to operate is not acceptable.

  658. Because they can. The Saudi's execute people for being witches ... they do not need it to makes sense when they murder people. Trump recently signed a major arms deal with the Saudi's and they paid him personally very well. This is a case that is now in court and it has been allowed to proceed associated with Trumps breaking of the emoluments clause. Obama was a neo liberal shill that was far too close to the Saudi's as well, the left pointed this out all the time even if the media did not. This fact does not absolve Trump from ignoring this crime.

We have never tested previous vaccines years in advance because the doctors that made them have clear ideas of the possible side effects before issuing them to anyone. The unknowns attached to missing longer term studies can be mitigated if you look at applications of this same tech outside this one application. The fact is we have tests on MRNA tech going back to 2014 when the vehicle was developed to fight Sars and Mers. The unknowns that were actually concerning existed when this vaccine was first released before 3.5 billion doses were issued and we had large studies of varied population groups to look at. People have been spitting bullshit about all vaccines for a long time before now. They do so in an effort to explain their fear of them. They had the same rational credibility as the people who use crystals to heal, news flash that has not changed because the crowd is now larger. That you have a lack of information is attached to the emotionally manipulative and factually misleading media you apparently consume. For young healthy adults there is no reason to reject the vaccine. As it turns out for young people there is no issue taking it either. Your empty fear mongering and what bouts are unbecoming a rational adult if you grew up in the modern world. An imagined fear over a real issue that could kill their grandparents seems a poor choice.

  670.  @matthewstone1362  They have been dividing us against ourselves on nonsense wedge issues and overt lies for decades. When the GOP voters figure out the "socialist", "globalist", "free trade" loving monsters they hate are the represented by entire leadership of both parties things will break. Their corporately harnessed anger at silly straw men, wedge issues and edge cases can then be redirected. It can be pointed back at the sellouts who are at the root of the problems they are currently told to blame on the powerless.
    2
  671.  @matthewstone1362  The differences between us are largely window dressing as a tool to make the each respective side treat each other as the problem. Our real issue is rooted in a system where both sides are bought. One side is paid to ignore and control the desires of their own base and the other is paid to pander to the worst instincts of theirs. Both focused toward the same goal of pumping up a tiny minority at the top first. We all need to see those who foster the conflict between working Americans as a cover for corporately enriching policy as our real opponents..

They already have their record which in today looks awful, I welcome them to call Nelson a terrorist. See how many votes that long rejected partisan framing gets them as it was later widely decided by the public that the SA state were the terrorists and bigots as was anyone defending them.

When you point out "centrists' who lost and then ask if we need more of that it displays a bizarre form of blindness to who is actually not popular and who is. The fact is this spin is transparent nonsense and is the kind of garbage that in the past would go unremarked. We see you establishment shill and are not going to fall for your stupid spin anymore.

  696.  @jeffgojail The numbers you cite are a reflection of the fact free attacks by right wing media and the post election honeymoon enjoyed by the pelosi. The entire establishment media hates her so it is not a surprise that consistent attacks even if empty and stupid hit home. The establishment blatantly ignores what its base demands to chase the same donor cash as the GOP and are essentially paid to lose. The democrats are manovoring themselves to hand over power to the GOP in four years. Which is fine either way as the consultants that serve both parties and the donors win. The GOP super serves its base while calling the democrats communist and the DNC spits on what their base wants chasing republican voters and talking points. You have no idea what virtue signaling and really should avoid using the term. The fact is AOC and the squad has limited power and even so is much more relevant than anyone in the establishment at her tenure. Proposing legislation is exactly what these congressmen should be doing. The manufactured consent and attacks on unowned leadership is created and distributed by an establishment that loves our broken status quo. The numbers that really matter are during elections and on policy. AOC killed in her last outing and no democrat running on M4A lost their seat. M4A is still more popular than any establishment leader. As long as we are suggesting courses of action maybe you should consider what your facts actually mean and where they come from before making self serving conclusions. No one gives a fuck about private insurance, most people hate them as they are thieves that live to rob you and do not care if your family lives or dies. No one I have every talked to cares if they exist and no one is backing way from paying half what they do not to keep a parasitic industry that has the popularity of head lice alive. Your spin is bankrupt and well over half of americans want the system gone, almost no one backs them up. Your spin that people do not like progressive ideas is brain dead and not remotely true. You spit the garbage of corporately owned shills who step over the bodies of americans for donor cash.

That being said she still has issues and is a poor copy of Bernie and has some real problems with things she has said that she needs to address. I expect she will have lots of time to do so and expect her to be a bigger figure in future primaries.

  711.  Khashon Haselrig  oligarchs control the media and the government They have turned governance into a for profit enterprise that empowers them alone. The CDN analogues are trying to do the same. The key to solving the issue is to change the status quo on how elections are controlled and won by re involving estranged voters though good policy not built on wedge issues. By selecting leaders not based on party or their family name but policy alone.
    2
  712. 1. Pushing for private insurance beside public is license for them to download the sick and the poor onto the public system and clean off the cream off the top causing it to get more expensive and fail. 2. Bernie's plan bans insurance from covering any services offered by the standard coverage. It allows supplemental insurance on items not covered by Medicare for all. 3. Any extra percs not covered by Medicare for all could be purchased for those who want them. That being said the idea that any union has a zero co-pay, zero deductible, no net work policy that covers everything 100% at half the cost they pay now is something I would need to see an example of to believe.

  716. joe hilner We do not agree and you proclaiming me "stupid" does not make it so. I have concerns about the movement but they do not make me reject it's potential value or the fact it is a very positive first step at attacking the root problem. With numbers comes power, with power comes leadership. I see these first steps as entirely positive and the innuendo you base your attacks on does not invalidate what I support about it.
    2
  717. joe If it was ever alive it existed in a far different era than this and saw the rules about how long a president can serve be put in effect to limit populist control. That does not change there has been no movement remotely like this in living memory and the hippies in the 60's were never main stream and anger at the system now is much more universal. This genie is not going back in the bottle for long while, we are just getting started and have already changed the conversation by just making an effort. This has no analogue in living memory and it is not flower power. Like I said I think your dismissal is premature and your certainty unfounded. I get being skeptical but your version of it borders on a diametrical strain of it and makes you seem a con. This is further highlight by your gross generalizations or that this movement is not unique in a few ways unseen. I will support the concept until it fails and be part of the effort to change further if it does. I can not accept your demand to throw up my hands and give into pointless stasis.
    2
  718. joe hiner I am not ignoring history, I am choosing to be part of it. That they have been fighting progressive change for a long time does not mean there is no reason to continue the fight today. This trope of yours is nothing but an appeal to stasis using contrived and tangential equivalencies as justification. I pass on your spin which I see as serving the establishment alone.
    2
  719. joe Actually you are tacitly saying give up the fight because leaving establishment democrats with knives at our back is a path to most Americans continuing to have zero power while ensuring the status quo continues. I support the idea of a strong third party but will not abandon the democratic party to weak corporate shills without a fight to tear their power away. This is an all hands on deck moment I see no reason to abandon part of the battle field because of spin that makes you sound as diametrical and as nuance-less as a typical con. The value in the effort is already being shown and even the worst corporate dems have already been forced to bend to this movement. They will all come around and vote as expected or will be primaired out just like when the fake populist tea party candidates took out what they deemed "establishment" republicans. We can expect better results than they got because this movement is actually grass roots and not funded by a handful of billionaires. They can not be left to fester unopposed .. The only battle you are guaranteed to never win is the one you do not fight. Any imaginable future success for a third party will be built on the back of the successful issue based non-purchased democrats who popularize and promote many basic and very sell-able 3rd party principles which normally get little press.

I will not be giving Biden a pass on anything, in fact my expectations are greater for him than the proven failure that is Trump. We have to fight either way, I say a change of opponent is in order. Trump has proven he will never listen to anyone no matter what we do. It does not matter if anyone calls him on his failures as he will continue them anyway. This truth is no longer in question as trump spits on everything anyone who is not a crony capitalist stands for. At least Biden will be more inclined to pay attention as his base actually supports change. Trumps base does not and never will, he has no reason to be better.

  733. The guy was born with a silver spoon up his ass. The PC party talks about the tax payers a lot but only ever cuts from programs that help people while they sit on their knees servicing either religious freak shows or corporate owners.

A do nothing dilettante who services the establishment while pretending to be populist.

  740. There is almost no one in the GOP that can be described that way. There are a growing number in the dems that will not be taking pack or corporate money and are relying on voters to support them instead of big money. This number will continue to grow and these candidates will not have their hands tied by the money the establishment democrats take. They will be able to call out the corruption in both parties and fight for what Americans clearly say they want. This is the first step I have seen toward positive change in decades and it is happening as we speak.

Everyone who respects the Nazi's are right wing or at the very least deeply authoritarian and not progressive at all. The establishment democrats failures are all attached to the fact they chase after the same donors the GOP is wholly owned by. Establishment democrats are the Washington Generals to the Harlem globe trotters of corruption the GOP represents. Saying they are like Nazi's misses the point so badly it marks you as having nothing of substance to say on the subject. Actual history while understanding its modern context simply does not back you up.

  743. No reason to assume it will not. The only thing we have to lose is our system that is owned by an elite that does not care if a significant % of Americans live or die as long as they get another tax cut. We have little to lose at this point as we slip ever backwards while they take even more at our expense. We have been the sellout path too long and it is time for a change.

  747. @DolphinsWIthIgloos No one is overriding them. The fact is Biden put a hold on the deportations pending so they can be reviewed. That is totally in the purview of the president and ignoring him should be grounds for dismissal. He does not need to pardon anyone to hold for review on deportations. When the rulings are enacted or if there will be a second look at the cases ruled on has nothing to do with the judges. Their part is done.

The NDP aligning with a leader that would pass policy they stand for not only makes sense but is good politics and serves their base and voters. The conservative talking point this will hurt the NDP is empty and only rings true with morons who never vote for the NDP anyway. The same people who were always going to support the cons. Their move was wildly popular with their base and gives them credit despite what you have been told. Don't hold your breath for the cons to win next time. The most extreme fringe dwelling bigots (4% to 10% of the country) on the right finally have a second party to vote for now. As long as Bernier splits the conservative vote we will never see right win again and we can expect the fringe dwellers to take no seats. The 60% of the country that never votes con should all breath a sight of relief. You never voted for the NDP before and the idea you could and then switch to the cons speaks to a bizarre form of asserted ignorance. It makes it seem I am either talking to someone with brain damage or you are just another typically dishonest NPC mindlessly spitting deeply stupid talking points.

The entire institution has to be rethought and reworked so it serves the all our interest not just those in authority and with privilege our police naturally defer to.

  785.  @autohmae  I of course am describing our police as paramilitary not all police forces. I dislike the use of the one bad apples spin it is consistently poorly used. The saying about bad apples goes like this: "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch". With that in mind pointing out how there are bad apples is poorly thought out as a defense of police. By the adage it means the entire batch is spoiled.

  787.  @joshuag3358  Burglary., arson, home invasion makes up a tiny percentage of all actives the police respond to. Even then they have terrible arrest rates on all those crimes and the guilty regularly get away Scott free. If your focus is to protect against those narrow concerns the police departments do not have to be nearly as big as they are. I personally would call the police for those the issues you listed of course. But it has come to light that if you are minority it might be as dangerous to call them as if you did not. They always assume anyone with a darker skin tone is guilty of some crime and is dangerous and more so a threat regardless of circumstances.

  795.  @seewhativescene  I see Pete as a sell out paper tiger. Another neo-liberal disappointment meant to distract us from candidates who are not bought and paid for. I have felt this way since the presidential primaries, so I felt the same way last month. He has done anything that surprised me or made me change my mind since. No one on Fox says he is corporately owned or just another Neo liberal. They pretend he is fringe left wing because he happens to be gay. The truth is, I would vote for him over a republican. That is damning with faint praise as republican's are consistently worse on every front. Like most democrats Pete is good on social issues as long as they cost nothing. His rhetoric and communication style is above average in a group that consistently lacks any charisma. But he is far from ideal compared to someone who is unowned and not controlled by the same strings the other neo-libs before him. Pete falls short based on his stated positions and what he is doing/not doing with his current role.

Political capital is defined by the give and take and the playing politics between disparate factions to achieve specific policy goals. This is true for a bake sale committee chairmen who wants to feature brownies this year to a house member or senator. The "squad" would have to expend political capital to achieve what you say you want, this is true if you believe it is a thing or not. How they spend that capital determines many things besides this vote. The idea that because someone does not accept your choice of priorities in how we spend our influence (or political capital) does not mean they want establishment stasis. It is a dark fundamentalist with us or against us spin that marginalizes many who otherwise on almost everything agree with you and are on your side. I too think we need to demand tangible returns for our support. I just do not see this focus as the correct one as it seems to have limited value and a great many potential downsides.

This is a tax cut no one ever heard about and his promise of them passing it was was impossible as the congress was no longer sitting at the time. He lies every single day many times and considers those who believe him, to be marks for idiotically buying his bullshit. Your question and subsequent wait for an answer instead of just looking at him yourself makes your makes you look simple and out of touch with reality because like him or hate him anyone with eyes and ears knows Trump is a habitual liar.

Perhaps you should go start your own shill loving libertarian dream land on an island where you can shit on brown people, poison your own water and let the mega rich step on you. Bernie is popular because his ideas are popular, in spite of the fact you do not like them. That you are ignorant and drink shill cool aid does not change those facts. The idea these polls are driven by "illegals" is empty wishful thinking and denying he is popular may help you make it through the day but is not attached to reality. Keep lying to yourself, it seems you are good at it. When it comes to Bernie the only people that matter in this conversation are the american voters .. they like him.

  827. Crypto Kon You are the clowns bent on obedience. Your base is the religious right which is built on mindless obedience as a foundational element. Every policy the Bernie left pushes spends our tax payer money we already collect in better ways that empower Americans and not just the donors. Ignoring you sit beside people who call themselves nazi's while you babble about your opposition being nazi's is a stupid tone deaf talking point. Policy is not about obedience, or empowering the government. It is a statement of how our government will work. Not wanting a government may be your plan but please know it is not and never will be a remotely popular one. We pay taxes and instead of them wasted on foreign wars and giveaways the very richest perhaps they should be spent to fix our crumbling roads. Instead of building schools in Fallujah we should be building them in Kansas. Instead of give aways to big banks, we should empower actual small business that employs Americans by removing the burden of providing health care from employers. Like in the rest of the free world we should let job creators focus on producing their product not the bureaucracy of providing insurance. Your spin about the left "taking" is a lie to cover the fact the establishment that you shill for robs us every single day. Every single talking point you use is naked projection as I have clearly shown. You keep saying the same thing about his supporters and it is wishful fact free thinking. You are simply lying to yourself, have at it. It changes nothing.

  828. Crypto Kon "Leftism is pretend" is a meaningless silly statement. When you attack those you disagree with by saying they are exactly what you are then you are done in that argument. The right consistently literally rejects empirical evidence (Evolution) in favor of faith based claims. You can't help projecting your own failures onto the left. I point out modern Nazi's are conservative and your reply is "Leftism is pretend", it makes you look foolish. We don't have to start a "socialist" society we are already in one. Our socialist dreams of socialist fire departments, socialist police departments and a socialist army have long been realized. If you really want to be free of socialism you might as well go to that island as we are not getting rid of any of it in the imaginable future. You can go to the least socialist state you want to, I suggest Somalia as they do not have any of the things listed above. Am sure you will love it there. "Leftism is pretend and evil" adding and evil does not make this statement any less nonsensical, it might even kick it up a notch. I have no idea where you pull that 20k number out of, it appears to be from your ass. In the primary alone he had 12 million votes, he is more popular now than then. You break the irony meter as you babble about the left being about faith not facts.

I did not say it was a person you halfwit, you are stawmanning an idiology with empty bullshit and it is weak and marks you as fact free. Agiain you have no fucking clue what we are fighting and look ignorant as you spit talking points written for the stupid instead of adressing what we stand for. It makes you look dishonest or clueless. Somolia is a state too and all the members of our union are far too socialsist for freak show like you. You are the mutant who hates our way of life and should be the one packing to leave not me. No one should be exempt from federal tax and no one will be. If that is want you get the fuck out, move to a backwards hell hole of your liking. You should really move to your libertarian no taxes dream land. You would clearly love living in a place they step over bodies rotting on the side of the road as long as the rich get everything and crush everyone else.

They universally try restrict rights in the name of what their base thinks is acceptable, they persecute minorities as the distraction from the real problems with their lives. The right has never cut spending in 40 years and ALWAYS explodes the debt and applies law only in favor of the status quo. Nazis are right wing and agree with me on NOTHING while all modern Nazi's vote for the same assholes as you for the EXACT same reasons.

  832. The right never decreases the size of government, your leaders focus is to hand more money to their ultra rich buddies and put the tab on our the deficit to be paid by working people. The GOP has never decreased spending and instead simply cut services to hand the 1% more cash to throw on a pile while the countries infrastructure and middle class circles the drain. You clowns love big government that ONLY works for religious freak shows and the mega rich while pretending to care about all. The right you support is not anti government as the cronies you vote in are systemic shills in service to their owners and consistently increase spending while cutting revenue. Oh and not to let your forget, you vote for the same guys as actual living breathing nazi's do.

  833. Crypto The right pays lip service to small government while only ever increasing it or robbing it to hand more to their rich donors who own them. A solution for both sides would be for you Union wreckers to move to your favorite third world country you would like us to emulate. A government that is not built on bribes works better. Not to mention it focuses their effort on the voters and not the handful who dump cash on them. It is not the size of our government that is the problem, it is the that it is for sale by its very nature now. The left wants nothing of the kind. We want to spend our existing tax dollars on Americans and not the industrial military complex's next war or to enrich multi nationals with shitty deals for consumers bought with donor money. It is the right who blows out the deficit funding pet projects that have nothing to do with working people who pay for it. You no longer get to pretend to care about tax payer money while supporting the robbers you do. The GOP always increases not decreases spending. Every single GOP leadership has exploded the debt since Reagan. Just stop with smaller government which just a euphemism for becoming more like the third world paid for by the likes of he Koch's. When they advocate for small government it is an empty taking point for the clueless who apparently do not pay attention, what they do is a matter of record. It has nothing to do with small government, it has to do with making their buddies richer and rigging the system. Your assertion about what the government should do is yours to have but has no place in a modern nation and has nothing to do with our system. You are free to do what you want but do not expect you will steal any of our resources or cities built up through a system you despise to do it. You look stupid using the term Nazi incorrectly as you vote for the same assholes as actual Nazi's do. Find a better slam as this one is dumb and points at you.

I was referring to the new rules that would limit the number of shells in a weapon in agreement with the original poster. Rules that as hunter and responsible long gun owner I have no issue with. Limiting the capacity of weapons has no downside for anyone but mass shooters. Your spin has been hilariously ignorant and counter factual. You say something stupid and then pretend what you said was valid on empty technicalities that do not back up your spin anyway. There are no good arguments behalf of large capacity weapons or magazines(/clips) that enable over a handful of shells. This is especially true from law enforcement who often have the most to lose and nothing to gain.

I am fine with you not being able to fire any of your banned weapons in public. May I suggest instead you train with your service revolver or a legal analogue to your issued firearms to retain and build useful weapon skills. If you are expected to use your colt as a service weapon, train with it on the police ranges that still allow it's use. The fact is these rules protect you more than they ever will protect me.

  880. Ruddskies It was 20 years ago but I have no confidence anything has changed with regard to conservative priorities. I am angry at the liberals for selling off your legacy for the same reason I am angry at the cons. The fact is selling off hydro was originally a conservative proposal and there is NO REASON to think they would not have done the same. The 407 is costing Canadians lots of money too that should all be flowing back into public coffers to offset other costs instead of being poured into the pockets of a handful of people while Ontarians pay for their debt collection. The failure of the liberals in this case is they are acting exactly like the establishment shills that wholly own the cons. The min wage going up was inevitable and I understand a concern about raising it too fast but there is no reason to expect it would have EVER been raised under a conservative government. That should be unacceptable small business owner or not. The spin we hear about the min wage on the corporate media is deeply skewed. The 60k number you quote is not losses but projected losses from overt shills who have zero interest in the policy and want to demonize it, it has practically no value. Historically these predictions are not borne out and in some cases more jobs are created as workers have more money to spend. I have friends with small business's too and they also feel the pinch of the rise but all of them have taken measures to deal with it and do not expect it to change much in the end. As a business owner you know you hire only those who you need to hire anyway and no more. No one hires extra people because they are cheap. The spin this will mean jobs loss's is not born out in other constituencies that have done the same thing. The same job loss predictions were made there by the same type of crowd who made these and there is no reason to expect these assertions will be any better. I am no a fan of these liberals.. but the cons are NEVER better and are the exact same failure magnified several times.

  935.  @colihon3552  Today, fornication laws cannot be enforced due to the Supreme Court's decision in Lawrence v. Texas (2003). They are old school relics that have no place in law. The Court ruled that a person's private sexual acts are protected by the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. Thus, government actors cannot intrude into and criminalize these personal actions. If you were charged with it then that was before we ruled it unconstitutional. They have no legal place to weigh in on your "fornication" much to our pent up church ladies rage.

  936.  @colihon3552  You will never be convicted on this as a crime and if you are the only thing that will allow it to stick is a terrible useless lawyer.

With any half decent lawyer charges on this kind of crime does not end with a conviction, My point stands, only 2 are actively prosecuted laws in the list. That should underline how non-critical they are to our society.

  938.  @colihon3552  They can charge you with it but they can't make it stick. This is not the speed limit or jay walking, Fornication as a law has been deemed unconstitutional. Just saying. It is not a law worth worrying about if they can't make it stick. For almost 20 years now the law is irrelevant, that the quakers liked it back in the day does not make it a law to worry about now. That fornication was ever a law is silly, but the fact is almost none of the 10 commandments are law today even if they ever were laws in the past. This speaks directly to how relevant this silly list of suggestions are in the modern era.

Biden and hillary may be different people but their policies are nearly identical. Biden also has a stone around his neck when you talk about his record to voters. Add in his propensity for Gaff's and the fact he is sold out and your fairly thin claim of "popularity" carrying him comes apart. Bernie is more popular in red states than any establishment leader and they do not even try to win there in the general. The establishment has NO grassroots support in the south. The only reason hillary won them last time was that the DNC front loaded them so name recognition carried her as they did not know who Bernie was YET. I expect him to strongly outclass the centrists handily in the south were he has been building a constituency for the last few years. Bernie has a total country strategy, Biden most certainly does not and his wing of the party has ceded all the red states long ago. The only time the democrats did well in the south in living memory was when they ran a hope and change guy who pretended to be the populist Bernie actually is. "Centrists" never do well there, time to stop pretending they win anywhere but blue states.

  952.  @bherber  Well I think we have already proven your strategy was a failure. I would argue Obama who turned out to be a centrist in power won the house and the senate by acting progressive and promising us change. Once voters saw him in action the party collapsed in power losing the house, the senate and then the presidency under centrist policy and leadership. They lost over 1000 seats under Obama and ignoring that failure after his high mark of promising change and winning by a landslide seems a poor choice. Being GOP light is no longer a winning strategy and their running after the donors away from popular policy is a hard fail that now costs you. Toe to toe without any answers to what half his base wants Joe will crumble. Everyone is against Nazi's Joe, you will have to do much much better. People want change, offering the same old same old is not going to cut it anymore. You should have learned that by a freak show Trump kicking in the establishment republican and democrat door and setting up shop. The establishment loser barely won the primary against Bernie when he was a no one and had she still had to cheat to do it. These genius's went on to lose to a hideous but populist candidate who also destroyed the GOP establishment even if he did not mean a populist thing he said. Biden and his centrist cast of losers have nothing to offer and are beaten before fighting because they offer nothing. There is a good reason there are a handful of fake progressives aping Bernie's policy. They are failing because everyone see's through it already. Joe does not even have that. Joe has every weakness Hillary had for trump to exploit. Bernie is popular where democrats are not popular, he is really popular where they are already. He is the logical choice over the VP of an administration that saw the democratic party go from giddy heights to irrelevance up-to and including the giving away a supreme court seat. On the put money on it thing, damn me too.

  953.  @bherber  Obama care was the republican health care plan with no public option that he got absolutely no republican support for. The centrists murdered the promise of change and the voters made them pay for it, He folded before fighting with his own super majority. This was among his first centrist failures after supporting a public option during his campaign and for about 5 minutes after. This continued through his entire term enabled by the weak centrists who ran right as the republicans ran off a cliff hating on their own ideas with none of their own forcing democrats to defend heritage foundation half measures. The loss at the mid terms was directly influenced by his cabinet choices, his decision to leave Guantanamo open, to ignore occupy, to not go after the banks, to not pass meaningful bank legislation, etc, etc. I would argue he did not exercise his power so they responded by not showing up in massive swelling crowds because the magic, the hope was broken by reality. They passed a health care plan that was not really popular with their base and not super popular with the GOP's base either. The donors did like it and the health care lobby was very involved in writing it, this helps explain the trajectory democrats popularity over the next few years. Hillary won the early states only because of name recognition. Bernie came from 0% in the polls as a relative unknown. Driven by an entirely policy centric campaign an older guy with bad hair he closed a lot of points not by being a rock star but by being honest and genuine. Biden is not starting way ahead like hillary, no where close. Look at a chart of her popularity from the start of the campaign and after. You may not want to put much money on Joe after all. I will put Bernie's authenticity against Joe's likability any day with that crowd. They can smell BS a mile away and are not fans of the stink when it is from a politician. Seems like faint hope on your part that Joe is more popular there but hey you may be right, time will tell. Cheers

The GOP are dark side salesmen pushing pure identity nonsense to sooth the feelings hatefully ignorant while overtly lying about their pathetic opponents. They pretend the do nothing dems who regularly spit on their base are exactly like them only on the other side. The only people the dems fight, are progressives. Sanders did not help elect Trump, the losers he ran against did that as they sold out their base and gamed the system for the same donor cash that entirely owns the insanely corrupt GOP. It is not all or nothing for me, but I DO want something. You are projecting a Trump voter outlook, not mine. I demand a fighter because in this all or nothing fight you imagine so far, I am getting squat!

    1
  986.  @whyamimrpink78  In terms of quality if you do not factor in the the deaths, bankruptcies and those who can not afford co-pays as well as overt cost your assertion "we are best" is deeply flawed. The fact is on key metrics like life expectancy, child mortality and cost we are actually well behind the rest of the developed nations. This directly undermines your assertion of us being "number one". Our "shortcomings" mean if you are rich our health care is great. For everyone else getting sick might just bankrupt or kill you. Even with you have insurance you still may not even have affordable access to the superior care you crow about due to high deductibles and co-pays. We are the only first world nation to let citizens die in support of a profit motive. You have be in a fact free bubble or ignorantly assume everyone has a Cadillac insurance plan to pretend we are the best as you step over bodies of fellow Americans to do it.
    1
  987.  @whyamimrpink78  The only rankings in this conversation that are arbitrary are yours. "We lead the world in survival rates of advanced care" Applying that as a measure of our system being "best" is literally cherry picked. The numbers I cite are definitively not arbitrary but are based on a defined broad range of criteria applied evenly against every system factoring the good and bad of each. Even if we do "lead the world in survival rates of advanced care", we are #37.
    1
  988.  @whyamimrpink78  Those survival rates do not erase the fact huge swaths of the country simply can not afford or do not have access to the care you point at. The cap thing exists here at the behest of the insurance companies and no where else. No one else has a treatment cap, let a lone a lower one. Many things impact infant mortality. Prenatal and Postnatal care does influence these numbers. Again our system fails because it leaves a large percentage of our population out in the cold to serve the insurance lobby because that care is un-affordable or inaccessible to many. Your assertion about being dead would indicate you think we have better survival rates on most medical metrics, we do simply do not. Even your lauded stat that you keep pointing to is only marginally higher than other comparable states. The fact is our system is far more likely to kill you simply because you are can not afford the available care. No one else lets them die to serve a profit motive. We alone hold that distinction as we allow Insurance companies employ recidivism to avoid paying out on policies to increase profit. We alone overtly put corporate profits over citizens lives by empowering their useless third party profit motive that inversely insentiveizes them to deliver care. You are misrepresenting the other systems wait times. Canada and Australia for example have very comparable wait times to us on critical care (life threatening) issues. Elective issues like knee surgeries and non critical MRI's you are forced wait longer for. The fact is we both ration care. They ration it based on how critical the issue is, we ration it based on wallet size. Everyone has problems, their rankings reflect that. As does ours.
    1
  989.  @whyamimrpink78  That your asserted survival rate stat is "strongly connected with health care" does not mean it is the only metric we should use and that would appear to be what you are doing. The fact we have access to great testing means little if a significant percentage of your population does not have access or can not afford access to it. I gave you a couple of stats that do not paint a rosy picture. The list of metrics on the WHO's rating system is pretty comprehensive and detailed covering much more than your simple measurement. #37 not #1 https://www.who.int/whr/2000/media_centre/press_release/en/
    1
  990.  @whyamimrpink78  We cap it. You litteraly run out insurance money at some point here. Single payer systems do not have that limitation. You have to spin other things as caps that we also share. The assertion they offer less care is empty especially as our systems cost estranged the best care for many.

Using your single metric to judge health care would be child like if it was not an obfuscation in defense of greed that kills Americans. I really do not expect much from you but do try to do better. In your defense, you really do not have much to work with.

We made progress but do not see it as huge at all. The fact is the DNC snuck a candidate because the GOP voters picked a giant asshole who was easy to dislike as their guy. The idea that we can expect Dough to get elected again is not very well thought out and this election was a blip on the radar and not a statement of real change. We need to have actual progressives fight and fight hard against the gop and hit them at their weakest point by making it clear they are totally sold out. Even republicans do not like corruption and the only reason the all the establishment DNC candidates does not use that as an attack is they are complicit in the exact same failure.

Their culture did not fail them, the level of their technology when meeting them ensured they would be crushed by those who did not value integrating cultures any more than you do. Your head is broken if you think the wanton destruction of the native culture as a failure of multiculturalism. It is exactly the opposite.

Your carefully worded attack is the word play spin of morons, own that. He has policy that helps your community more than reparations does and ignoring that does not give trump an edge against Bernie with the black community which already widly supports him. Trump does not have the lead hillary squandared. The only reason she beat him was he was unknown at the time and only had a fraction of the money/support he has now. Even with everything against him and with all hillary's advantages/cash she still only beat him by three points. His performance in 2016 at 1/4 his strength he is now was awsome and pretending otherwise is plainly ignorant. He would crush trump as he has no establishment weaknesses that hillary and biden do and is a real populist to trumps fake version. You judging anyone as disgusting is rich as you overtly shill on behalf of corruption by tacitly pushing the staus quo. That is the defintion of gross.

He will call out the corruption that is grid locking the system and stopping all meaningful change. He is not just using the promise of change as a slogan while planning on serving corporate donors like our leaders in recent memory. Woman's suffrage was unrealistic, desegregation was unrealistic, if we learned anything from those big changes it is we have to fight to see them enacted. If we do fight anything is possible.

  1025.  @adifferentpolitics5129  Bernie just needs more exposure and many who support Biden do so out of reflex not out of love for anything he has said or done. The longer Bernie was in the toe to toe race with Hillary the more of her support from the black community he stripped away. The stats that indicate Biden has huge support from the black community are based on likely voter canvasing which plainly ignores Bernie's strengths and plays to Biden's. The support for Biden is not as deep, as wide spread or steadfast as the media would pretend it is while Bernie's is consistently understated. Bernie's support will only grow while Biden is on life support even if he does not know it.

My point is comparing them without pointing out it as a historical difference is a minimization of what the Palestinians face today because for the many real problems in our native communities they are no where nearly as messed up as the occupied west bank. Apartheid is much more apt comparison as outside political pressure was applied to change the policy. Unfortunately for them natives did not have the same kind of advocacy in their day.
    1
  1045.  @TheVuduYuDu  I would agree that almost all the native problems are attached to our previous policy. My point is that does not make them like the Palestinians who now exist in a stateless powerless form living under a modern government and not in a time of colonial expansion when the policy of stepping on indigenous people was expected par for the course.

  1054. McLean Burlock The spin they are men of the people is marketing and not attached to the facts. They are silver spoon trust fund babies who inherited their wealth from their dad. They literally have nothing in common with the "average Canadian" except some shared prejudice. Conservatives have NEVER balanced the budget and consistently run up huge deficits every time they are in power. Jobs are created by demand and no demand is created by handing out tax cuts to the rich that go onto a pile or are invested in automation, foreign production or stock buy backs. When you put money in the hands of people who spend it here that increases demand and servicing the rich does nothing but increase income inequality and create a larger divide between the rich and everyone else. The problem is we are not getting the quality of jobs we did even 20 years ago as we upload all the wealth into the hands of the owner class who do not invest it back in Canada.. The people serviced by the fords are not normal working men and woman. Job creation is never higher under cons compared to other parties. What they do is make the rich richer and that serves no one but them. Increasing the minimum wage puts more money in the hands of working people and a study released this week has shown it has costed no jobs and had no measurable negative impact while putting money into local markets. Being taxed more and making more go hand in hand. Anyone who takes a lower salary to stay in a lower tax bracket is a poor planner and is not very clever. I do not want to hear any more Conservative ideas on how to handle toll roads as the last time they had the power to they gave away the 407 to their buddies for 99 years and and left us holding the tab for patrolling it and collecting their fees. We might have had the money to expand the roadway to 5 lanes or even build a 408 but instead we gave that revenue to a bunch of insiders who swim in money from your road. Forget about the fact whatever party puts in toll highways downtown they will pay for it dearly next election. The spin the LRT was going to bankrupt the city is total nonsense. What he did was fuck a totally funded program for something no one committed to and never got off the ground. Fords plan was a pipe dream no one ever said they would fund despite his promises and if enacted might actually bankrupt the city as it did not have federal or provincial support. I can tell you I would not trust them with a 5 dollar bill and you have been bamboozled into being a fan by clowns who offer simple solutions to complex problems wrapped in slogans you like. Forget about the fact Ford never decreased the budget or got it under control short of great ideas like cutting back on emergency services and the libraries. The Fords have a persona they have sold to target audience that covers up who they really are and what they actually fight for.

Even as she continues to make tone deaf decisions on her peculiar blanket support for the establishment fools who dislike her, her record of being on the right side of issues trumps those issues in my mind even as it puts me on guard. That is probably for the best as we should be on guard for everyone we elect as it is clear without that they do not work for us.

  1080. MrRicardo11 What I am saying is not an open question and pretending your hero is better is empty. You can not see another leader there because Putin has murdered or imprisoned anyone who could compete with him. The assertion there is no one else for the job is simple nonsense. I want leaders who work for their people both here and there and he does not quality. My flawed system which I am fighting to change does not have to be perfect for me to see Russia is broken too. I use the term democracy in the way it is meant to be used and do not promote neo-liberal rule for anyone including Russia or anywhere else. The system Russia pushes demands group think and does not value critical thinking skills or personal freedom at all. There is no room for that in their system or for free thought unless it all serves the dear leader. Putin represents the exact same group of clowns you complain about here the key difference is he had decided to keep the power in house by handing it to local friends. He is by definition part of the 1% and that he did not play ball with the foreigners and does not make him any better in any way. We have nothing to learn from Russia politically except what not to do. Being honest and being good are not the same thing. The GOP is pretty honest in what they want to achieve and none of their policy is anything but a sloppy blowjob for the donors. The spin that Ukraine is better for being annexed by a foreign power after throwing out a Russian puppet is empty bullshit. To say otherwise is nothing but Russian propaganda covering for a crime and an authoritarian strong man who has disconcertingly seized the government of a major world power.
    1
  1081. MrRicardo11 Yes we will never agree that putting in an authoritarian strong man that kills and imprisons his political opponents is ok. We will also not agree about the black opps nonsense as it is clear the US was not trying to annex anyone and Ukraine was in their rights to deal with anyone they wanted too. The whole thing was triggered by the ousting of their Russian puppet president who was literally threatening to murder citizens for protesting. That is completely unacceptable and anyone of our leaders would be turfed for the same thing. Russia annexed Crimea because they did not want to lose access to the ports they had there and still considered the country theirs despite the fact the leadership was moving away from them as was their right. Not wanting to be part of Russia or to accept their authoritarian rule makes eminent sense to me. As I resist the corruption in my state I would expect like minds to do the same in Ukraine and Russia even though they have far less options there and take far greater risks. Saying aligning with Russia is only choice for Ukraine and other former soviet states is empty and not attached to facts. I would go down kicking and screaming before I ever supported my nation rejoining them especially with a strong man dictator at the helm and one does not need the CIA to find opposition in places he does not yet control.

  1083.  @sonalikumar4667  I am in favor of UBI and see it as a necessary step to counter the fallout of impending automation. I do not see Bernie as anti ubi even it is not his policy for now. Personally I think we need universal health care before UBI anyway. If we do not address it all that money will be gobbled up by insurance companies and service cuts for those who most need it in our existing system.
    1
  1084.  @sonalikumar4667  That is a position i am convinced he can be moved on. He has his policy he is pushing for now but UBI has inarguable merits. On getting health care passed I see he has a path to doing so if he correctly continues harness's the energy of the people after he wins as he says he will. He speaks of creating a movement that can put the pressure on those who stand in the way on behalf of their donors. That is not something the establishment has faced in recent memory. Historically big change has always occurred when people stood up and the establishment was pushed to pass it. If we can not pass a version of universal health care backed by the will of the people that every other first world nation has then UBI is a pipe dream anyway. I am not telling anyone how to vote, you are not talking to a Hillary supporter. Andrew and Bernie are natural allies and have many of the same goals. From a tactical stand point he would be wise to embrace Bernie as it will increase his power in future elections. The establishment media hates them both. This appears be a case of the enemy of my my enemy being a friend.

  1102.  @roberthills629  Personally I do not need a video on every event that comes down the pike. I would actually prefer the candidates put something out quickly rather than take their time and look like a band wagon jumper. We are very similar in that we do not follow anyone blindly but I am tired of empty criticisms of Bernie. He like every candidate is not perfect but I am fed up with the spin attacking him like this case. When he is first and still getting hacked on for not using the format of communication you desire that does not feel pragmatic it feels like an arbitrary and reaching criticism. Again I think we are of like mind of Tulsi and her message is growing on me even as I still have concerns about her based on things she has said I do not agree with. I have given her a chance and will continue to as I expect that she will have a big roll in the leadership going forward. I think she needs to be putting in more time and has to address some of the concerns I have about her spin but I think she has a bright future. That being said I do not expect to become a #1 fan of hers this election even as I will continue to watch her and applaud many of the things she says.

She is not principled or above the fra, she is spitting right wing talking points angling for conservitive support rejecting the progressive she ran as at the beginning. Dismissed!

  1114. I hope you cut and pasted that ream of nonsense disguised as rational thought. Many of the things you cite are true but do not merit your conclusions. Like many who sell pseudo science nonsense you tell half truths leading to false assertions based on them. That vaccines have side effects is not and never was in contention. The severity and the commonality of the side effects is inflated to be baseless attack, additionally make it seem the risk in each vaccine is the same. We do not even have a vaccine yet you have already declared it dangerous and not worth taking. This is all based on empty propaganda from an identity based Luddite movement that gets things wrong on purpose to suit an empty narrative that does not pass a sniff test or if you bother to apply Occham's razor to their claims. You are the victim of group think here. That you think yourself above it is part of the appeal of the religious like identity movement you belong to. Like theists you pick and choose the data you want to believe in and ignore all other arguments or the rationality you apply to other aspects of your life. The faith like nature of your claims makes it impossible to discuss the issue with you rationally because the normal tools of logic and assimilation of data are dismissed with a flick of your hand if they in any way counter the narrative you are bought into. As an example, Covid death rates are actually greatly understated in the US. To get be classified as a Covid death you have to test positive for the virus to start with and been suffering symptoms attached to the affliction. Trump's CDC has no interest in inflating numbers just before an election. If there is no test available and it is only suspected you died of covid that number is not included. The fact is where we have had shortages of tests we have lost whole nursing homes with none of their numbers included. The numbers of people who die of other things while they have covid is not the large number you imagine it is, regardless of final reason covid is invasive enough to exacerbate and trigger other conditions contributing to the death. The number of deaths that would have died anyway but get blamed on covid's are a drop in the bucket of those who were untested and never included in the counts.

  1115.  @cameranmanner4701 The stipulations around what you can say publicly in these types of contracts are standard and well tested. On air personalities say yes to these contracts because they want the job and do not have the personnel marketability to have the clauses removed. There is nothing illegal in asking a representative who amounts to face of the company to toe the companies line or move on. I am not defending these types of contracts, I am just explaining their nature and the fact they are not illegal. Even in Canada where the rules protecting workers are much more robust. If she has any documented evidence of the bigotry and the stratified workplace she described, the labor board will be happy to address that.

  1120.  @mantas6540  Calling it experimental is spin meant to scare the ignorant. The tech behind it is not new and has been in development for a decade. Your tacit inference in calling it experimental is to frame it as untested and dangerous neither of which is true. In truth calling it experimental is pointless because the meaning of the term has no defintion in this context. The testing around this vaccine far out straps other large inoculation pushes like the one for polio. In that case the public did not even discuss the vendor or side effects. We wiped out the disease by rolling up our sleeves and getting the shot. Once we move past you ludites we will with this virus too.

  1121.  @mantas6540  if you are happy with the 99% number you must be really really happy with the safety of the vacines. That you pretend one is dangerous and the other that is far more damaging is not becuase of brain dead politics marks you as a dopy npc. You are clueless on this subject. Being an anti vaxer was once a quaint foible of misinformed crack pots. It is now causing measuable harm and is no longer just a silly affectation to be ignored.

  1122.  @mantas6540  I am not into forcing anyone to take anything. But like a Mennonite who chooses not drive they have to live with the ramifications of their choices.

These monsters play on the rage and anger of the simple to distract them with identity nonsense. Employing medical restrictions and rules around safety is not totalitarian. Every single sane society does the same thing. Seat belt mandates are not authoritarin and neither is a vacine during a pandemic.

  1126.  @mantas6540 No one on the left defends the business practices of the corporate greed monsters that are the pharmaceutical companies. The right only empowers it with brutal giveaways and rules to tie Medicare's hands even negotiating better prices. If you wanted to talk about nationalizing them to focus them on health care I love that idea. In the mean time pretending you oppose corporate malfeasance and greed is betrayed by what the asshats you back support. I do not own the deal that gave them immunity, the right does. Trump gave them the exemption, why do you imagine the left needs to explain it? The gop loves blowing big pharma and is entirely own by them. Care to explain why did trump and most Republicans leadership got the shot if it was so 'dangerous'? How is a vacine developed and deployed under the gop the 'lefts' problem? If I was a partisan freak show like you I would run from the inoculation as it is Trumps. As it stands I look at the science and the threat this virus poses and make my decision on data not fear and ignorance No matter how you cut it the vacines is the only path forward. Your risk taking it are magnitudes less than retaking your chances with the virus. Magnitudes

  1127.  @mantas6540  You shared the data that validates me. Even if we applied the numbers you cite they validate me. You are the one claiming the vacine is more dangerous with nothing to back it up except ignorant claims that do not mean What you pretend they do. You do not get to play the demand for data card. I have 1000's peer reviews studies and 100's of millions of doses already distributed. You think a virus that has killed over 600 thousand people in the us alone and regularly cause long term damage in those who survive is less dangerous than a drug that counters it. If there is any burden of proof it is on you and the ignorant anti science fringe you belong to.

  1128.  @mantas6540  The number that died from the inoculations can be probably counted on a coupe hands I suspect. I have seen no reputable numbers on that stat and can not find any data on it. You should probably be supplying that info as part of your argument if you think it relevant. It is a safe bet that mortality is lower than the 1% number you attach to covid and the far less than the 20% of those who recover from the virus but have permanent damage as a result. Your fear of unknowns does not equal a credible threat. The concerns raised about the shot do not amount to greater threat than a novel virus that is now disperportioatly infecting younger people. We have never has more children in ICU units in the modern era than we do today. That should speak to actual risk, risks that outstrip your imagined potential problems not borne out at all.

  1129.  @mantas6540  The idea anyone of note is demanding the unvaccinated should be jailed is nonsense. No one sane supports this policy and no one in power has even suggested it. This is not a concern that is on the table. I have never met or seen anyone that is on the left who would support this policy. This is unlike the right who want to arrest anyone that disagrees with them. This fear based talking point is simply more right wing projection and little else. No need to worry about it coming to pass, even it did everyone I know would fight against it But then I am a zero on the facist scale..

  1130.  @mantas6540  Nothing I said supports the idea that people should be jailed.for not getting the shot. Some who elect to face a novel virus one on one will die and I do not mourn their loss if they influenced a single other person to not get it or infect one person before dying. That is not the same as advocating they be arrested and jailed for being stupid. I do not think ludites should be jailed but I refuse to feel bad for them when darwin hands them an award.

  1131.  @mantas6540  1% of 330 million people is a lot of people. Pretend that is not a problem and look like a monster. But it is not even the deaths that are the worst part. It is the 20% of those who end up with permanent damage not to mention those lost becuase our hospitals are full. This is a novel virus meaning we have no defense for it unless you take your chances getting it or get inoculated. Even if it does not harm you personally after contacting it if you were to pass it to 5 others the odds are least one would face permanent damage at the least. Pretending the innoculatins are a greater risk than this novel virus to anyone is ignorant head in the sand nonsense. Most people being admitted to hospitals now with covid are between 20 and 40 in the prime of life. This fact directly undermines your silly spin.

She should bring her charges of discrimination forward if and she will have to validate those claims. But that will not be attached to her being let go over issues associated with what she said publicly. The company had a right to fire her because clauses every on screen personality has in their contract public speech conflicting with the corporations spin. This is pretty boiler plate stuff for this kind of job. If indeed there was discrimination she will have a case as long as she documented it properly.

  1142.  @Salsuero  It does matter when it was the last guy who destroyed capacity to make the drugs which is a direct root of your problem. Blaming the current guy for something they did not do is stupid. Blaming the conservatives for what they did is no kind of cop out as I have plenty of blame to go around for anyone that earns it. I like to focus blaming the liberals for their own numerable failures, Canadian's lack of capacity to make these drugs is not one of them. The fact is Trudeau did buy plenty of doses. This is not up for debate, we know how many were bought. That it does not "look like it" is a feature of what is getting shipped not what was purchased. Blaming the conserves for their failures puts them in context when we are looking to solve our problems going forward. They own a significant part of the root failure and giving them a pass has NO value. I am not blaming the other side as like your assume. I am laying blame for each respective failure at the feet of the ones who own it. The liberals are corporate losers. The cons are the exact same fail on steroids. They do not even pretend not to be sold out to the highest bidder. Their voters clearly love when they screw Canadian's over by sell off Canadian assets at pennies on the dollar. They wave this fail flag solely because their media tells them to cheer. I too think we need to get to work, but those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Those who want to ignore history do so because seek to repeat it.

Trudeau has real issues but Canadian's ability to produce these needed duges locally are not among them. Looking to the party that tore away our ability to address this issue in the same way other first world nations with production capacity makes sense. Understanding their role in this mess needs to be clear. The virus does not recognize political affiliations, but it tends thrive under conservative leadership. The more conservative the place the more it thrives. Blaming all leaders for their failures is the first step to ensuring they do not happen again. Your desire to look away from the cons failures is noted but is not compelling.

  1153.  @Salsuero  With the advent of mass factory farming and wide spread world travel your 100 year prediction is ill informed. We have created a range of super bugs all on our own. This very virus is mutating like the flu does on the fly. The need for these facilities domestically can not be overstated.

  1154.  @Salsuero  The statistic does not tell the whole story and my point is it is not particularly predictive.
    1
  1155.  @Salsuero  It is unwise to count on an average of raw numbers which does not take into account wider contributing variables when attempting to make a prediction based on them. Broadly you are correct but historical trends lose value over time as the variables that drive them change and go out of scale. For example comparing today's risk to 1990's is problematic for a number of reasons. World wide travel was less widespread and factory farming utilizing antibiotics like some do today were not in play. There is a significant difference between farming techniques and scale, mass use of antibiotics and the amount of world travel between now and even 30 years ago let alone 100. These particular changes in combination with increased crowding in specific regions all greatly contribute to the potential of creating a novel and widely spreading a pathogen. Their effect should be factored into the math if your concern is accuracy. I argue it is problematic to bank on your 100 year educated guess when setting pandemic policy given the fundamentally increased risks we now are exposed to.

The democratic voters are much more concerned about corruption than the GOP voters who are simply not, they are motivated by other things. Voting dem next election may not be any kind of real solution but it is a step away from handing power to the overt cancer which runs things now and is not only greedy and sold out but also bigoted and nakedly incompetent. I agree with the previous poster and will vote Biden and then never stop fighting him, picking Biden over Trump is just choosing who I will oppose.

Nothing you said is a surprise to me and I see the dem establishment for what they are. The gop does not care about me either. I am not endorsing them, I am making a terrible choice. My only other choice this cycle is do nothing as there are NO OPTIONS which we'll achieve anything. Your attempt to voter shame me like you are hillary is counter productive and I am not doing the same to you as I see it as counter productive. I really do understand your perspective and dislike the lessor evil spin too. That being said I am very pragmatic and practical. I am not saying you should vote for Biden, I am explaining why I likely will. If I was to be contrary I would question how exactly you are planning to fight besides to vote on principle even if doing so stabs your eye. To extend your analogy you are going to a car dealer and leaving without buying a car forcing you to walk everywhere. I am not giving anyone blanket support. That being said throwing away my vote will get me no closer to where I want to be. Like I said I plan to fight them as I have been doing. Biden getting elected means I have a president with a base which agrees with me to engage and put pressure on him. If Trump wins I have no allies to work with and will be as helpless as we have been over the last three years.. Give me a better plan than just throwing my vote away out of principle and there by tacitly empowering trump, I am open to it.

Change begets change and pushing for stasis or going backwards is not a solution at all. Democratic socialism has much greater potential in the short term and opens the door to more radical change as it is proved out and the Overton window is shifted. Trump at best is a wanna be fascist but is restricted by the traditional checks and balances of our system meant to prevent him being one. Trump is a reflection of the ugliest nature of capitalism and is to be opposed if you wish anything more than a slide toward actual fascism.

No one is threatening Russia's borders even as they annex soverin territory of other states. You are parroting Russian propaganda. It is transparently stupid as you attempt to paint being in NATO having anything to do with hate. NATO has always been about checking first the soviet and then Russian agesssion. Of course you hate NATO, they are in the way. As I said I am glad they hold Russia in check. They are the bulwark against an antidemocratic athoritarians dreams of a new empire.

In your bizarre world Russia a country run by an dictatorial oligarch is the innocent victim. An alliance of a handful of democracies that have no mandate to expand are the ones imposing empire. You are a clueless mark or a paid propagandist. Even if you believe what you say you have to plainly and blindly ignore all of Russia's many problems to say it.

  1187.  William Okpara  I am not defending US military policy and have not bothered to try as I am a sharp critic of them. To start with your millions number is not attached to NATO actions. In the first gulf war between 20,000 and 35,000 Iraqi soldiers died during the ground war. Civilian deaths resulting from the conflict are estimated at between 100,000 and 200,000. The original attack on Iraq was not a NATO action but was a UN sponsored mobilization. This explains why so many non NATO countries participated. That war was problematic but was brought on by Saddam's grave miscalculation of the reaction to his invading Kuwait. I am no defender of the Kuwaiti state but Sandam's blatant invasion drew the UN's reaction to him. Saddam killed those people as much as any invading soldier did. As pointed out in this thread Canada does not march lock step with the US on military deployment. They have not deployed in many of the US's largest conflicts including vietnam, IRAQ II, Libya, etc, etc. America's invasion problem is not NATO's or Canada's invasion problem. The only ones complaining about NATO as being defined by hate the 'other' are Russia Stans.

  1191. Hand guns were already deeply restricted. The fact is there is almost no valid use for them outside shooting ranges as it stands. Taking the extra step and ending new people joining a hand gun shooting at the range hobby has no real downside to society. A gun at home used for self defense is more likely to harm someone you know accidentally than to be used to defend yourself.

  1204. Historical legacy is why Tom won. They continue to run away from Bernie's message but they never pretended to like it anyway. They were never going to roll over and hand the party to us because our ideas are better and we can win elections. Their failure is about the money and that is what drives them, it is the reason they run such bad candidates with unpopular ideas. The process of tearing the control of the party from the establishments hands starts this cycle and the idea they can not be beaten is undermined by the fact they regularly are as their ideas and what they back has zero grass roots and base support.

Context matters and if you dreased that way last week it is differnt than doing so 20 years ago People now understand it is and was racist. But when you have actual overt racists running and lurking in the shadows behind existing leaders the charge of 20 year old racism which was common place at the time rings as hollow. if you agree with this concept or not does not make it go away. I am no fan of Trudeau but I understand why these particular attacks manifest as they do. There are real things to hack on trudeau for, this is not one of them if you want it to stick.

I trust her to be on the right side of issues she has been good on and now expect her to tow the line on others. I see this as less of a problem because as the environment changes to be more progressive that issue will be mitigated especially as her stated polices will completely align. I understand and share many of your grave concerns but in a world where almost every leader we have is 100% sold out not just to the party but to donor policy she still has value as an ally to me. She may not be the leader I hoped she was but I will not throw her away for being tone deaf and behind the curve of where we are going.

  1229.  @spencer_jackson542  Except in every single place that has enacted rules to limit access to specific weapons. Check out the number of gun deaths in Japan and get back to me.

  1230.  @spencer_jackson542  That is a very intersting spin not supported by the data. In new Hampshire (population 1.36 million) there were 156 gun deaths in 2019. In all of Canada there was 264. When you look at the numbers they do not really back up your argument, especially in defense of lax gun laws.

  1238.  @marquefan1  Canada ordered mostly from europe as there was grave concern that the US under Trump would not be shipping any when the first orders were made. A deal with China did fall apart but that was not the primary issue. The main problem is the challenge of european manufactures meeting the agreed upon schedule. The country still managed to purchase over 150 million doses. Most of those orders were from European suppliers. Attached is a good article describing what occurred. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56035306 The uptick in vaccines to Canada as of late is do to an unplanned excess now being shipped from the US.
    1
  1239.  @horstwidl4378  As stated in the article the Chinese order was part of the problem, that does not change the orders made in Europe have also missed shipment deadlines putting Canada behind the curve. The fact they did not order from what would be usually be their primary closely aligned suppliers coupled along with a very high demand on the product resulted in undershipment on all orders from all sources. China's failed order contributed to the issue along with order fulfilment issues in europe. At base the key problem is rooted in their non existent domestic production resulting in a lack of control over priority of their shipments.

  1255. I have said this for a while, the NDP has to stop taking pot shots at the liberals or ever using conservative taking points to swing at their chief competition. If want to appear to be the best option to beat the cons they need never adopt their talking points and only attack liberals where they apply right wing policy and agree with the the cons. Any other attack on the liberals by the NDP feels like it serves the conservative base and blurs the differences between all the parties undermining interest and hope it is worth voting. Many Canadian voters do not vote for anyone and instead always vote against a side. To get the anti conservative vote the NDP has to look like fighters, one does not do that by taking up the talking points of the other side.

  1260. Using your hand gun in Canada for self defense is already illegal. It is is to be locked up at home or better at the range. Canada does not have a second amendment because they were never worried about England invading and did not foresee a need to ready made militias to act against them. Your self defense weapon at home is more likely to accidently harm someone you know than ever be used in defense against an attacker.
    1
  1261.  @edwardberrocal7266  I have a golf club and a bat accessible. If the home owner uses their handgun against someone they are using it illegally. Shoot someone and you go to prison. Practically no one dies because they do not have a gun, plenty of people die because they had weapons lying around their house. You are statistically more likely to accidentally harm someone you know than successfully use your "self defense" weapon against an attacker. Please note, in Canada your hand gun is required to be locked up and stored unloaded. If you use it to shoot someone you will be prosecuted. Makes it less an valuable as a self defense tool.

They are not fans of money in politics but because of their sheepish nature are not outraged about it because no one told them to be. I am saying they are angry because they know something is wrong and we are being fucked over much like we are. They listen to liars and assholes to fill in why they are angry but if you dig through the nonsense they spew as to why the base reasons rage against globalism are identical.

  1307.  @cryptocrazy9599  Most of Bernie's polices directly address issues those living pay check to pay check face every day. The fact that Yang's version of UBI gives you a choice between taking the money or getting any other government programs means for the very poorest who need those them it will be a net loss to them. UBI is a necessary policy we need to enact but not before we address our broken health care system which can easily absorb every nickle of that money for the most vulnerable just getting services they need to live.

  1311. Perhaps, but I am not convinced of that. This is not the national stage where mayors leave and get 200k speaking gigs for banks. Let us watch him and hold him to task. Let us see what he does before giving up on what is a clearly a good campaign that was focused on the right things. If he ran on "stronger together" I might agree, he did not.

  1314.  @stanjones2126  No one else that is going to win, if something happens to him then we are in trouble. I like Tulsi but she is young and new and does not have any of Bernie's earned credibility, ground game,and massive backing of voters. I see a lot of Tulsi people bashing Bernie and not really anyone going the other way, it makes me question their motives as I do not see Tulsi going anywhere and expect her to be strong progressive voice going forward no matter what capacity that is in.

  1316.  @stanjones2126  Again we agree, I like Tulsi and expect her voice to be an important one going forward. But the attempt to push her as the fave over Bernie in this cycle (like Bernie is not good because he released a tweet instead of video) is misguided at best and feels like it is being orchestrated by those who want no change at all as an attack on all progressive values.

  1319. I see no reason anyone needs a hand gun. If you ever fired one you can feel their primary function was to shoot other people. No normal person should need a hand gun for personal defense, statistically that weapon is more likely to accidentally harm someone you know than be used against an assailant.
    1
  1320.  @Iliketordles  Virtually no one is properly trained to use that weapon and the fact is there is no right to use it in self defense in Canada anyway. I would argue it is not responsible to own the weapons you advocate for if you look at the statistics. People around you are more likely to be accidentally harmed by your self defense weapon than any attacker. When anyone can get a gun easily it does change the playing field. The problem is the access to guns, it makes it so you feel like you need one to catch up with those who would rob you. An arms race between your population and criminals does not sound like it will ever end well and is counter to public order.

  1321. Considering no president ever made them before they do mean something and are at the least positive.

No one should be above the law ...

  1324. The liberals have not been bad but have been based by the media and have made some poor choices that estrange their base while not getting any credit for it from the right. Issues like oil pipe line bought that pisses off the left and is given no credit for from the right undermine his credibility as the story buries what they have done.

  1325.  @crobinson2624  There is some kind of strange pandering when he offers buy a pipeline for an oil company in a bid to push it through. The is an useless appeal to a super rich but dying technology in a time if the government is going to spend money it should be investing in the future. Ignoring the fact it is bad policy the left is against, he does not get any support from the right or the media about it anyway so it is a lose lose.

  1342.  @custos3249  Every single souce of information has a perspective, an innate bias in a specific direction. It needs to in order to effectivly convey the information and shape the way it is presented. The best we can hope for is that the source states it's perspective up front so we can weigh that in. Corporate media pretends they do not even have a bias, they most certainly do.
    1
  1343.  @custos3249  it did have a bias, a bias based on the new data that validated the claim. The bias in this case was not toward an idology, it was based on a conclusion drawn from data focusing on patient well being. The bias is clear and stated up front, the merits outside that we agree on. But thier bias correct or not if honestly evaluated is clearly stated.

  1351.  @jeffgojail  It has been up and down and congress as a whole consistently has terrible numbers. Pelosi is a proven loser that has presided of a decline from super majority to minority everything. She should have been dismissed long ago and would have with out the buckets of donor cash she brings to the party. No one loves her, she has the appeal of a skeleton that can raise lots of billionaire money while spitting on her base. The fantasy is democrats dislike progressive policy while in poll after poll vote for it. The voters may not be "progressive" but might as well be given what they support and what they consistently say they want. It amounts to a distinction without a difference. What they universally dislike is their leaders selling out to the highest bidder. Because every single establishment dem does that as a focus they can expect issues going forward as what they are is becoming clearer to the electorate.
    1
  1352.  @jeffgojail  M4A is an eventuality that the establishment is delaying on behalf of a predatory industry that is paying them. It is not a matter of if we get this passed but when. Expect your heros in the incrementalist establishment center right to consistently lose seats either to republicans or to progressives as we go forward. That they stand for nothing except being marginally better than the rabid GOP is a proven losing strategy. The exception to this is during a full blown pandemic where the GOP has abandoned all responsibility and is killing hundreds of thousands of americans. Nothing the establishment stands for is popular while progressive policy undeniably is. It is just a matter of time before we tear the party from their feeble corrupt hands.
    1
  1353.  @jeffgojail  Even if it is100% guaranteed to fail it becomes a primary talking point used to run out the bums who voted against it in blue districts. Health care access and costs are crisis right now and will be going forward even more. Pushing it is good advertising, it shows the actual democrats who support it giving them an edge in swing states by offering a real tangible difference to republicans unlike the corporate sell outs. Promoting it is great because the harder the establishment fights it the policy the stronger it will become. Exposing their need to suck off donors is the key, their achilles heel is corruption which their base hates.

  1355. Darth Kal-El I am inclined not to throw away warren because of the great work she does and the fact she actually agrees with the progressive wing more than the cooperate one if her voting record is any indication. But I think her walking back the rigged comment was at the very best tone deaf. Although your argument about rigging is technically true there is no reason to for her to backtrack as the DNC and Hillary clearly had their finger on the scales to win and it is pretty fair to describe that as rigging even if you would choose another more "correct" way to describe it. She should have stuck with her original statement as it gave her credibility with the actual base and walking it back hurt her with those who liked her most. What it did do is gain her support of people who are not popular and have been on opposite sides of issues she fights for. The choice to basically ignore reality by taking back a valid thing she shared undermined her to no value. It was an error and as Kyle Kulinski of secular talk pointed out she should fire the loser advisors who suggested she do it.

You may feel that I am in blanket support of the left for the lefts sake but you would not be correct. Attempting to paint my position as radical and Peterson as reasonable may make sense you to you but is not attached to what is considered as common understanding by the majority. It is Peterson who has a non standard position and that the right loves it is because it is literally built on their old talking points presented with a false veneer of intellectual spin. Be he right wing or whatever he is Jordan spits old right wing tropes on the subject with a healthy dose social justice spin to prop up his false outrage to deflect from the subject at hand.

  1389. joe hilner I guess you have not noticed but we do have some now. We have establishment lackeys like Cory Booker spending a great deal of effort to pretend to be progressive, he is a liar and a shill but his simple attempt at mimicry speaks to a victory for changing the values of the party from the ground up. That he is disingenuous is irrelevant to the importance of him pretending to be populist. Unthinkable policies like Medicare for all now have majority support with more coming on daily due to pressure from an engaged base. These are just few examples of the rise in power promoting popular progressive ideas that have been entirely stifled by the corporatists in the past. There are many others, this is not to say the heart of the leadership is not still cancerous but they can be manipulated by a progressive base, the GOP can not. While this is happening these new brand of candidates for the democrats spread progressive 3rd party policies which in turn builds a larger constituency for the 3rd parties as formerly politically estranged people become involved and feel they have a voice in the process. Nothing is yet solved, we have not put one of these new brand of politicians in power yet but it is a statistical certainty we will. The ideas of the establishment democrats are not popular at the root and they are badly hobbled by their ties to donors who have demands. It makes their position innately weak against a populist candidate and they have held their seats to date by the controlling media and having way more money to buy ads while counting on low voter turnout. Against candidates that actually make you want to vote this is a losing strategy that can only hold so long. The establishment will continue to lose seats an an accelerating rate going forward as they have no good arguments toe to toe have been winning on name recognition alone. They will do this while grudgingly moving left as the base is now demanding. This is a fight worth trying because a quick look around proves it is already bearing fruit.

  1390. joe hilenr You are definitively wrong, that she has softened criticisms of the Democratic party in a battle against republicans is not only acceptable it is sound. That does not mean she has stopped fighting what they stand for and any assertion this is a real concern is entirely made up. She still supports medicare for all and any claim otherwise is false. Cuomo in spite of the fact he is sell out cancer is still better than the GOP brand no matter how it is spun. She supported Nixon and will support the next progressive incumbent against any corporatist running, none of this invalidates her like you seem to think it does. Just went to her website, first item on the list. Not sure what you are talking about https://ocasio2018.com/issues. Care to elaborate?

  1391. joe hilner You are correct about one thing, corruption is corruption and that is why I universally oppose it. In my eyes if you are not part of the fight to change it you are by default complicit with the corruption you imagine you are against. Your spin promotes a climate of stasis where they retain all their power and changes nothing.
    1
  1392. joe hilner I do not support the party, I support individuals in it and promote the destruction of corruption from within. Your spin amounts to advocating for letting it flourish while doing nothing but the work of the establishment by promoting stasis. I see you and those like you as tools of the who by accident fight for the status quo because your expectations tie your hands from achieving anything. Much to the establishment lackies delight.
    1
  1393. joe hilner Ya I know, that is why I say they should be removed and replaced. I refuse to leave them in place to fester, the batch in power has already gone bad and abandoning them to their power seems a poor choice to me. I saw tear it away at the ballot box one seat at a time by people who work for their voters and not the highest bidder. In the mean time promoting stasis is nothing more than feeding an even more virulent form of cancer. I am not a party guy, I am someone who has principles he wants so see enacted. Abandoning our democracy to the republicans and the establishment democrats is not an option.

  1394. joe hilenr I see the replacement of the establishment as a process that may or may not work, you reject it is possible untried and have decided give up and piss on everything. It is you who acting like a diametrical con. Your black and white approach is a path to getting nothing done, it appears your own head could use some sun. Oh to answer your question "who aids the status quo more than those who vote for the status quo parties?", You. The apathy you feel toward the system is exactly what the establishment wants. The less people voting the better as far as they are concerned at it makes it easier to put shills in. We are not just voting for status quo parties, we are demanding they work for us and even the most corporate are starting to bend even though we have not even elected anyone yet.

  1395. joe hilner I say anyone that adopts a version of a counter productive DNC talking point only promotes stasis. Your voter shaming tactics are identical to those that hillary tried to use again Trump and then then against her own base voter base. This is a failed strategy that does not thing but estrange supporters from your ideas. We are not trying to use one side against the other, we are in the process of replacing it as you poo poo the idea as impossible.
    1
  1396. joe hilner We are not repeating the actions of the last 100 years, this literally has never been done before and this movement funded by voters is unique in our history. If there is ANY parallel at all it likens back to time when our leaders worked for us and not just the highest bidder. Pretending what we are doing has been tried and failed is not attached to reality. In actuality you are advocating for the status quo because you are fighting erstwhile allies by using the failed DNC tactic of voter shaming.
    1
  1397. joe hilner That you liken all populist movements as the same or ignore they were all catalysts for real progressive change regardless of their eventual suppression does not mean this will not work, at the very least for a while. This movement is unique in it's funding and there has been no analog in the history of our union to it. Motivations of our leaders matter and that is the root of what we are changing. This process will be critical even if you are in favor a third party. Fatalism is not an argument.
    1
  1398. joe hilner Ya .. and we need to do that again. That does not mean we should not be taking the party from within as well because until Bernie did what he did the idea of winning while not taking corporate cash was unimaginable in the modern era. I am not ignoring history, I am looking at it and pointing out we stand on uncharted ground when it comes to the issue of replacing establishment leaders who do not serve us with ones that do. If this is Deb's movement it is the first time we have the means to make it so powerful it sticks utilizing modern resources and tools for organization/getting the word out that those early progressives simply did not have. Heck many of these critical tools did not exist 20 years ago. I would also argue that these progressive democrats running as they are un-corrupted are exactly the kind of leaders we need to build that movement which adds up to the scary 20%. This is a pragmatic movement not about party, it is all about policy and that is why we can win even against the piles of money they will throw away.
    1
  1399. joe hiliner You miss the point that you do not have to be the highest bidder if your candidate only works for one group, the voters. If it is just a battle to see who can raise the most money like in the past your point would be valid. The key change is that paradigm of fund raising = victory while still in effect has been proven weak and then entirely beatable. We do not have to raise enough funds to be the highest bidder, we in by by changing with whom the leaders seek approval to get elected by being their only sponsors.

  1400. Robert Greenhouse He did not make the charge about Gillum, he said it about OC and his spin was fact free as she is literally supporting medicare for all as primary platform plank. Using the term "affordable health care" does not mean he does not support medicare for all. I challenge you to show me him backing off that position. We all wish there was a justice democrat party, that is what the third party should be as we build support and an informed constituency from these early victories.

  1401. @joe hilner I have seen you make this charge with nothing backing a few times. You have made assertions that the justice democrats have already betrayed what they have ran on and even the things you point to like OC's website which I visited on your recommendation does not back your spin about them. One fights corruption by replacing the corrupt, not by letting them do their thing until you can get around to it. I have said it before, I say it again your plan is a promotion of stasis.

  1402.  @BeauLarson  If you say so, a gun confiscation has not happened to date. The slippery slope argument rings as silly when the rules proposed do not strip guns from anyone except criminals. Hand guns are only used for target shooting in Canada anyway, hard to link the idea of stopping sales of them with tyranny. What we may expect in the future is buy back program where people can get rid of the handguns they own legally. Handguns are no protection against tyranny, the idea they are is silly Rambo porn for a specific kind of repressive NPC that is happy to ban pot but strangely wants everyone armed.
    1
  1403.  @BeauLarson  Mindless childish fear coupled with silly delusions of grandeur are pathetic in a grown man. You are not going to stop tyranny with your rifle ,chum. Fact is Canada's rules do not touch hunting for food. They restrict hand guns and high capacity magazines, as a hunter that should not change your life at all. In the developed world Canada is only second to the US in gun ownership. The already extensive rules and regulations around fire arms there ensure gun related crime and casualties are fraction of the deaths/per capita caused by the wild gun anarchy in the US. If you are actually concerned about tyranny look at what is happening in the american government today. One party is overtly goose stepping toward the tyranny of fascism as we speak, while also demanding everyone should have a gun because they are paid to do so. They are not concerned about you stopping them at all. Stop enriching a bunch of corporate monsters by buying useless toys inspired by silly wolverine porn that does not makes sense. Perhaps try spending some of that cash supporting leaders not owned by the highest bidder. That would actually be fighting tyranny.

The "left" cancels no one, the actual left has no power! Corporations are the only ones with option to cancel anyone, they own this fail and always have.

  1417.  @bgreaud  This is the way they marginalize all candidates the establishment does not like Tulsi among them. The polls are not nearly as valid as they should be. But in this case her polling numbers are relevant to her chances. These numbers are skewed badly not flat out wrong.

  1418.  @joshuaheywood9988  Tulsi did that to herself and she has earned progressive derision over the campaign.

  1419.  @joshuaheywood9988  She stabbed herself bending over for that douche nozzle Rubin when he interviewed her. She poked out her own eye walking away from medicare for all. She is her own worst enemy. All her worst actual problems are never highlighted by establishment media. She owns them and they are not the product of smears.

  1423. The Inconvenient Truth /Non-Biased That you choose to ignore real indictments that some that have guilty pleas because they are not attached to the original charge does not make them go away. It really is a big deal that we start seeing these crooked clowns investigated and charged when the overtly break the law. This should be the standard for everyone including crooked politicians. We should never complain when it is done.

  1427. Because he murders and imprisons his opponents. When the state controls the entire narrative by owning the media reported popularity numbers mean far less than they do in a country with free press and freedom of speech.

  1428. That woman has always shone out crazy like a 1000 wat bulb. When you want your sky god to run the country there is a term for that and it is innately anti American. When you agree with the Taliban on anything you are going the wrong way.

  1430. Dean Cutler It is about who can afford to pay more and ignoring the fact the most wealthy are paying a historically low percentage of all taxes as they have downloaded it onto the middle class. This preoposed tax cut will not help anyone in that group while it is inarguable paying them more will.
