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

[Holy Tedalonia]

Because banning retailers from showing gender-exclusive signage for toys and children's clothes doesn't do anything?

Like this changes nothing.

Telling since a young age that girls should play with dolls and toy kitchen, while boys should play with toy tools and robots does have consequences.

I agree it's not the most important problem to fix, compared to women being much more likely to be victim of sexual harrasment or household violence, and being paid less for the same job, and being under-represented in positions of power, and doing more than their share of household chore even if they work in addition, and ... but it's still a problem to fix.

Then the parents should be the ones to remedy that. I can't remember the last time Ive seen a toy product state something like "for girls," or "for boys". Unless it comes from mcdonald's. It's more so implied if anything.

Cuomo accuser alleges a staffer took sexual harassment training for the governor. If true it makes him look even worse.

I don't know how it is in the US. Here we don't have any clear indication "for boys" or "for girls" on the toys themselves, but in shops they are often organized by age and gender. It's not officially said like that, but they'll group together, with pink-purple colors, the toys they consider to be for say "girls age 6-10", and a bit further, with blue-red colors the ones they consider to be for "boys age 6-10". At that's a problem, even if it's not the worse and most urgent one.

If it wasn't in the COVID bill, there was no chance of passing it. There's no chance of passing it now with the Senate as deadlocked as it is.

Am I in Hell? Did I wake up in Hell? Why can't both of them simply lose office and fade into obscurity? TAKE THE HINT, GENTLEMEN.

Hes not popular and would not win a primary. A New York City mayor hasn't been elected governor since 1868. De Blasio is termed out this year.

and yet he is delusional enough to apparently think it might be worth a shot, because we apparently live in Hell

Am I in Hell? Did I wake up in Hell? Why can't both of them simply lose office and fade into obscurity? TAKE THE HINT, GENTLEMEN.

Yes. Yes, you did. This world is Hell, and damnation just means you turn into a ghost that's stuck here watching everyone else fuck up with no power to improve things yourself...so no different than being alive in general, really.

If I were a solipsist, I'd say this was my brain trying to warn itself...

It does but you know we still have a pandemic to fix.

Rent and housing problems.

But I don't know of any toys that say "Should only be played by boys" or vis versa.

Last time I looked at a transformers action figure it didn't say "Only boys can play this or else you will explode".

I hope we get a better primary challenger then him. De Blasio has been an awful mayor and would be an even worse governor.

The COVID bill was likely the only chance to get it passed, as deadlocked as the Senate is. I have no hopes for the minimum wage increasing anytime soon.

De Blasio strongly considering primarying Cuomo.

Get that through your iron skull and lead infused neurons

Then a shared genetic trait (from the same parents) with neo-liberals, neo-cons, civ-nats, moderates and free-market activists is a big ass forehead to fit their ego

No its an anti-ban way of me saying something I can't say in 3 words

Guess what? There is no "anti-ban" way to flame and troll here. *** Great Pacific Switzerland, 1-day ban for flaming/trolling. ***

I would assume some days they’re punished for doing so

As a Presidential candidate, he received the almost singular distinction of having a lower approval than disapproval rating *among Democrats* (almost singular, because Marianne Williamson matched the achievement)

42% favorability... 47% approval... 57% say he should resign...

"I have a favorable opinion, approve of the job he's doing, and think he should resign" WHO ARE THESE RESPONDENTS WTH

[Greater Miami Shores]

Yes, we get it, you want a right-wing dictatorship.

Can I have my Socialist Dictatorship pls

I am against a socialist dictatorship, I am against a communist dictatorship, I am against a leftist dictatorship, I am against a right wing dictatorship, I am against a dictatorship.

If they manage to win the gubernatorial election then they might be able to establish public health insurance for state residents.

In a usual display of pettiness, Trump’s lawyers demand that the RNC and other conservative groups stop using his name and likeness, because they haven’t crucified Republicans who voted against him yet.

The RNC, by the way, seems to mostly be ignoring the demands

Well it's probably just mr. Trump trying to extract money from them. But if he's serious, an appropriate response would be to comply, and hereafter refer to Orange Man, or One Time President. And if that doesn't get him fired up, send him a notice to stop claiming to be a Republican without permission.

[Greater Miami Shores]

Yes, we get it, you want a right-wing dictatorship.

It would be easier voting. This year I think I will vote blue instead of red.

Hell No. I strongly disagree with Biden and the Democrats on most issues. I strongly agree with President Trump and the Republicans on most issues.

[A-Series-Of-Tubes]

Biden says stimulus checks should be able to go out this month

I guess there's some reason they all have to go out simultaneously, so they can't start electronic transfers hours after he signs it?

'In the next three weeks, probably,' is pretty awful for the internet age. Tax department and Social Security have all they need, and some kind of payment has been certain for weeks if they needed to investigate further. They had two test runs last year.

You need more nanny state. Grandpa state has gotten too old and slow!

The video of Sinema voting is liquefying my brain.

She seems incredibly happy to be voting no.

Democrat Kyrsten Sinema has a right to vote no and be happy about it. The other 7 Democrats who voted no have a right to vote no.
