American Politics IV: 1400 Reasons Why(A Stimulus Serial)

[Thermodolia]

Good luck. No one is above the law or beyond the courts.

If you have enough power you are absolutely beyond the courts.

I don't see why poor people shouldn't rally together and give themselves enough power to do what rich people have been doing since forever.

Vive la revolution? Vive la revolution!!!

[Thermodolia]

Maybe not, but I don't think violence or mob rule would be very helpful at making things better.

...what exactly do you imagine is going to happen if we just (try to) turn almost 20 million people out of their homes?

Revolutions where started over less

[Omniabstracta]

Where does one even get a giant golden Trump statue?

[Thermodolia]

You're suggesting we should build homeless shelters for upwards of ten million people between now and when the moratorium runs out/possibly gets struck down/whatever's happening?

It would be better than having a violent revolution or having to freeze to death or get covid.

Dude you’re going to have a revolution on your hands if you attempt that. The best course of action is telling the landlords to stuff it and get the government to pay them back lost revenue

[Andsed]

so apparently cpac has started and ted cruz is joking about cancun and chiding aoc for being scared for her life on january 6

i cannot with these people

Honestly do people really think that if those rioters encountered AOC they would not try to attack her? Cause like AOC is pretty hated in those circles.

The revolution won't be violent if the owning class doesn't resist. If they do, it's on them.

Dude the South Dakota DA is literally running free after having killed a human with his car. The elite are above the law not us peons.

Also this DA hit and killed this man, who was walking down the road, back in September and covered it up. He killed a man in September and still hasn’t been arrested

What are you suggesting?

That the public simply doesn't let landlords put them out on the street to die.

The problem isn’t the landlords; it’s the lenders. Maybe it’s time for pandemic “laws”. Basically; debt collection is on hold. You can charge a nominal fee/fine and thats it. Banks are running likes it’s business as usual and everybody else isn’t.

A very dear friend of mine is very upset over the proposed minimum wage increase.

She has previously negotiated a pay cut with her boss to remain under the cut off point for state aid and the proposed increase will take her above it and force her to pay for her own health insurance (Which she absolutely, desperately needs, but would be laughably expensive for her to cover on her own), resulting in her having to quit her job.

This is something that should really have been addressed simultaneously through welfare reforms akin to the ones discussed in the UK Cameron government (though ideally not implemented as poorly). (I.E, "Work should always pay" and tapering off state aid incrementally).

She supports the increase in principle but her life is basically going to get ridiculously more difficult as a result of it and It strikes me that she's probably not alone. There are probably people for whom the wage increase is absolutely not worth being pushed above the state aid cutoff point.

You simply ask Donald if you can borrow one of his.

You would be surprised what many right wingers say about leftists in American terms, they are very similar, but based on different opinions. I know this from reading and posting on right wing news sites. We also post to leftists in American terms.

Apparently, one of the CPAC speakers is part of a Japanese cult that believes its leader is the reincarnation of an alien from Venus who created life on earth millions of years ago who channels the power of various gods and public figures

Another good reason why this country needs universal healthcare.

Not sure what your point is.

I expect nothing less.

God I fucking love CPAC. It makes furry conventions somehow look normal by comparison.

That's concerning.

Absolutely. It's an example of how left wing reforms need to be systemic in order to be sensible.

You either need right wing cameronite welfare reform to prevent this shit, or universal healthcare. Otherwise the minimum wage rise is going to fuck over thousands of people.

In a totally unforeseen twist, the US found that Prince bin Salman ordered Kashoggi’s murder
