  1. We should have pollution but we should have it near gated communities and luxury apartment buildings. Then we should lie to the rich and tell them we can't do anything about the pollution in their neighborhood. The pollution should follow them wherever they move.

  2. The less billionaires there are in the world, the better off we all are. Maybe small family owned businesses will make a comeback with billionaires out of the way.

  3. How did Covid traumatize them? I'm traumatized by being around people. Not by social distancing from them. 😂 Covid is funny. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to joke about it.

  4. Most moderate Democrats are just fiscal conservatives who believe in tax exempt status for the rich and that the poor need to suffer more. If you're talking about moderate Dems or neoliberals then I agree.

  5.  @tschorsch  because of Dunning-Kruger, this person is positive that they understand the science of it because someone explained something about steel beams and heat.

  6. It's mostly a promotional tool for celebrities, book authors, businesses, etc. No sane person who isn't one of those uses it.

  7. Start squatting in their empty vacation homes. Start stealing high priced art and jewelry.

  8. The Joker from Batman? Chaos for the sake of chaos?

  9.  @mattgeiger8247  What have Democrats done for workers? Supported labor unions, supported higher minimum wage, supported a progressive tax to keep the highest earners from becoming even bigger union busting and corporate lobbying oligarchs than they already are.

  10. The only silver lining here is that big oil is gonna have a sh*t ton of lawsuits to deal with that might bankrupt them.

  11. Do their voters know or care about this? Ignorant Republican voters!
    2
  12. They'll never feel it. They will continue to shift blame to Democrats because that's what they do. You can't reason with them.

  13. They don't see the irony of using the word 'witch hunt' as a bad thing. They were the original witch hunters and there's no such thing as witches. Immune to irony they are.

  14. I think even his base is getting sick of listening to him whine.

  15. The next time a Republican voter friend complains about how inefficient the government is and how privatizing everything is so wonderful, let them know that some politicians on the right want to privatize social security. I wonder what their reaction will be.

  16. Thom Hartmann's videos don't get nearly enough views. Unlike the rubbish Fox News spews. Opposite of how it should be.

  17. Comminism is just a conversation stopper. Any idea that offers no benefit to millionaires and billionaires is "communist".

  18. Delusional, brainwashed, and dangerous. Just like the Taliban.

  19. Religion is a pernicious evil with a dark underbelly. Christopher Hitchens was right! Too bad new atheism isn't more mainstream.

  20. Tell him he can't go to church anymore since all homophobia is driven by Abrahamic religion.

  21. True. Neoliberals are the problem. I'm convinced that the neolibs are the ones at the root of California's problems. They need to be rooted out of the Democratic party and replaced with true socialists.
    1
  22. That's why California has no estate tax. Democrats are fiscal conservatives who only pay lip service to the idea of lifting up the poor and taxing billionaires.

  23. Jealous of what? The ability to multitask?
    1
  24. Sounds like Trump is the GOPs problem now.

  25. Fox News in a DC Comics Universe would say that Lex Luthor was a job creator. Then they'd defame Superman by convincing people that the S on his suit might stand for socialist but they're not sure. Somebody should write that parody. Oh, wait! I'm writing it. Nobody steal it. It's gold.

  26. ​ @fred5399 You don't even remember what the 1910s were like before unions. You should have listened to the Silent Generation more, boomer. They remembered.

  27. ​ @trappedinamerica7740 it stopped being great when Republicans threw science under the bus and then wondered why the more liberal European nations outperform America in STEM and in academics in general.

  28. The United States has the most corrupt government in the developed world. And the most corrupt unregulated businesses. Every other country has the sense to pass laws against corporate corruption and exploitation instead of deregulating everything to the point where billionaires become our oppressors instead of the government.

  29. 2:45 The media won't even report on threats to freedom like Project 2025. Very little of what mainstream media reports is relevant to the real problems our country faces.

  30. 40 years of liberals acting like fiscal conservatives.

  31. It's a cult. Just like Heaven's Gate was a cult.
    1
  32. Breads and circuses. They're ignoring the collapse of democracy because they are distracted by lies from the mainstream media that tells them nothing is wrong. They're also distracted by the Super Bowl, endless movies and TV shows, and endless video games and TV channels to choose from.

  33. The real beeotches mooching off of society are the housewives of Beverly Hills. Somebody should tell a Republican that harsh truth.

  34. We need to lay a trap for them that they'll walk right into when their leader fails.

  35. Many of us will start a civil war before we let a dictator run America. Things are gonna get ugly and violent if fascist authoritarians try to ceize control.

  36. The Waltons who own Walmart claim to be Christians but they worship Mammon. What did Jesus say? You cannot worship God and Mammon. Money is the god of the Walton family.

  37. If you don't walk on eggshells around blacks and you say something stupid to them you probably had it coming.

  38. Biden didn't commit a terrorist act on January 6th. H.S. dropouts and losers which make up most of Trump's base did. Calling Trump supporters losers makes them less likely to do an insurrection again because at least they will know their place at the bottom if you let them know they're losers and that their religious and cultural views are irrelevant.
    1
  39. But then you realize that a vote for Trump would only help billionaires and religious extremists.
    1
  40. I'd be willing to bet that a good number of Trumpists were either homeschooled or went to a private religious indoctrination center. I refuse to call them religious "schools".

  41. Sometimes the apple falls far from the tree, though. His son Ron Reagan, Jr is a liberal atheist. I like his son.

  42. The more often I see stupid people in positions of power the more persuaded I am that we need a eugenics program to rid our species of low IQ individuals. Smart people fought for the Enlightenment but the stupid people want to send us back to the Dark Ages. Something must be done about them even if it has to be violent.

  43. Republicans are overtly anti-union, anti-worker, won't tax the rich, won't regulate corrupt corporations, and won't raise the minimum wage. You don't think those policies keep people poor? They do. They absolutely do!
    1
  44. Also, what happens when the rich buy up all the farmland like they're planning to do. The poor and middle income farmers will all be out of a job when the rich seize all their land.

  45. OK boomer. I hope McCarthyism didn't brainwash you too bad as you continue to ruin the economy for millennials. 😂

  46. IDK how "secret" it is. Trump was endorsed by David Duke.

  47. That's why if I had a "pre-existing condition" I would just lie and say I didn't. Then if caught, feign ignorance and pretend I thought the word pre-existing condition meant something else. Pretend I didn't know what that term meant. If that made the health insurance company mad then good. 😂

  48. I ask Reagan fans who believe in Reaganomics to name one event in history where giving more money to the rich worked for anybody but the rich. Usually I'm met with crickets but every once in a while someone tries to defend it. I have yet to hear them cite one event from the historybooks where it worked the way they think it does. They can't give a real answer.
    1
  49. So government is bad unless it's giving more money to police or the military or supporting The Patriot Act. See the double standard there?
    1
  50. But easily frightened fascists tend to support the police and military over human rights or government assistance. So I understand.
