  1.  @toarrestsomeoneistoviolate2643  I am not sure what you are talking about or how what you said counters anything I said.

  2. 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.

  4. should.not be a suprise. when you label things that were once common reframed as racist it will often paints the person you are looking at as more like a normal person. there was a great deal of out rage in the media but normal people were not clucking their tounges like the pundits. when you are spitting the same talking points as the cons who are actually racist the outrage rings as simple pc concern trolling. I never expected the 20 year old photos to do damage.

  5. She is dangerous but only in the way a empty bus rolling down a hill is. There is no driver and the range and scale of the danger presented is real but limited.

  6.  andrew miller  It has not ended and will not end this election. When Biden wins over Trump I will have simply picked who I want to oppose. The fight continues.

  7. Canada did not get any doses early because the states would not ship any. The country was getting from Europe.

  8. Feel the same way, we need to get a least 2 trillion dollars in the main bill before passing the smaller.

  9.  @mikejohnson9606  Even the Koch brothers study says it will save 2 trillion. The aca is a for private insurance solution to health care, it was the GOP plan before they went insane and decided to hate anything the democrats accepted even if it was a half measure.

  10. There is no science that suggests that young people should not be vaccinated. In fact all vaccines work best if the entire populating is inoculated. There is no reason for young people to avoid the vaccine. That they do not get as sick does not mean the vaccine does not have value to them. Safe bet the science is rarely on your side.

  11. Every gap you have is an innate part of our system too. Keep fighting for better but understand we are way behind you.

  13.  Ken Hudson  Agree, tax payer funded health care is good for him but some kind of communist plot for Americans.

  15. Calling him a tiny hands bitch works too ... he often will misunderstand logic so this is actually more effective.

  18.  @y2k704  How is it selling out to make a dumb vote that changes nothing? I would argue it was stupid but pretending it means anything is empty and valueless.

  19.  @woden_arbosa Terrorism is bad, be it from those who live in an open air prison or by a state backed by the strongest militarily in human history. One can call out Hamas as monsters and recognize the Israeli response is horror show too.

  20. Speaks to why the leaders of both opposition parties were correct to step down. They clearly excited no one. The NDP was a in a great position to capitalize on conservative failures and their widely unpopular policy when it comes to attacking teachers and nurses. Andrea held the role of leader for 2 elections too long and it is high time she moved on to give her party a chance to win.

  22.  @kpax45  The Liberals basically play the roll of corporate democrats in your system and are the other side of the establishment power coin that owns both parties marketed to different wedge issues. 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.

  23. Same reason Joe Manson runs as a democrat.

  24. He hates that woman have a voice to say what they want to period. He longs for a time they could be cancelled if they said something that offended him. That is they way is this issue is linked to the feminist movement in his head. These religoius halfwits have always hated woman having any kind of freedom period.

  25. Find it soothing anyone in office now is even fighting for it at all. We need to put pressure on but we do have support out there and that is a new feeling.

  26. As we all should be .. if we can not take in those who once disagreed with us but have come to we will never move forward.

  28.  @benmidnightflame  I would argue that objective superiority is window dressing if you look at the economic polices both parties consistently find bi partisan agreement on. The democrats are objectively better but only where they do not have to step on donors toes. That has to change because as it stands they spit on half their base and dodge policy that most of the base supports but they ignore for fund razing reasons.

  30. Does not change the fact it needs to be recognized they did not fight for us. That leverage they ignored was our capital they wasted. This is worth pointing out because many are still clueless at their ineffectiveness.

  31. Run them down, at least they are close to the hospital.

  32.  @mathunit1  Is silly as we continue to pay them. They use our money to fund endless war and corperate bailouts while pretending even the small things they still do are some kind of immoral drain.

  33. There is no danger here, the conservatives can never do anything strong on climate change.

  34. They do so to appeal to their identity politics base. Most of those halfwits have no idea what is in the bible and only use it as a prop to justify the regressive ideas they identify with. They have no principles outside service to their chosen in group which rarely has any motivation except the propagation of their power and to give them good feels.

  35.  @joaolp3431  If he can steal a trump tactic, so can anyone. Ignoring his anti democratic spin makes you anti democratic. Your inability to self evaluate and need to project is on full display.

  36. Mickey Mouse A increase in taxes would incentivise them to invest in thier business with updates and higher wages to offset their revenue. Lowering thier taxes does nothing to spur growth and means they just put more money back in thier pocket. One thing drives growth, demand. Making the already very fat even fatter does not create that.

  40. no reason to trust them, but when they are right they are right. Spreading a message I can not disagree with has value even if they have some kind of plan behind it. Will call her out the moment she shows what her trick is but for now am fine.

  41.  @Xtracoolnerd  it was always gong to be a shit show, it was the conservitive heritage foundation's plan before the pc went full oil cultist. The war in Ukraine puts stress on gss prices. The oil cartels actually controling costs won't give you back the tax for more than a couple weeks anyway. Look at the profits for the guys at the top making bank.

  42.  @whyamimrpink78  Less to be scared of then a continuation or even worsening of the failing status quo. Our quality is nothing to brag about. Especially considering how much we pay. For the privilege of paying double what the first world does we let Americans die or go bankrupt to serve a useless third party profit motive that literally gets between you and your doctor.

  46. This is not a directive to the CDD, they are telling hospitals to stop reporting to them.

  47.  @Salsuero  I never said gave them a pass. But to be clear restarting a program like that is far harder than handing it to golfing buddies. 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.

  48.  @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
