American Politics XIII: (Un)Lucky For Some

[The Jamesian Republic]

I just realized that ya'll dug this stuff up from literal Page 2.

May God have mercy on your souls.

Thank you.

The Democratic Party doesn't care about gay marriage. The Democratic Party cares about fundraising from corporations, wealthy donors, and cutting their taxes. You keep voting for the same status quo candidates who take money from corporations and you're going to lose your legal right to marriage. This is absolutely your fault for voting for corrupt establishment candidates. You complain about the status quo but do nothing to actually challenge the status quo and this is what you get for contributing to corruption.

TFW he makes a point.

In a bad faith way. Sure. Also, women > bag of cells!

[Celritannia]

Lumen doesn't have any of those things. He doesn't work.

A complete and utter lie.

So you take what you have for granted won through striking.

Bullshit

Reminder that gay marriage has only been an official party platform for about 10 years, well after it had already gained widespread support and had become something easy to embrace without much risk.

If you want to know who really has your back, look for people that put their neck on the line when it was wildly unpopular.

Fear not, my disciple, for behold, the Good Lord also says that railroad legislation is a sandwich.

I shall not fear.

Sounds like a lousy way to exist.

Only in politics I assume whoever I support or want to win will lose. I no longer have any faith in the voting public or polls.

Sounds like a lousy way to exist.

[Kannap]

Essential workers also need to get paid and treaded fairly. They also shouldn’t have to work 16 hours a day.

I do not disagree but they should not also endanger public safety by striking.

The workers aren't endangering public safety by going on strike.

[Mountains and Volcanoes]

Opposing Queers makes you a Authoritarian or Nazi!

[Greater Miami Shores 3]

Congress is going to intervene. The effects of a rail strike are simply not worth the consequences. No mayor or governor is going to say to their citizens you'll have to accept having no power or empty supermarket shelves whilst the union and managers work out their differences.

Essential services should not be allowed to strike.

Oh boy, here we go again...

SL made many logical comments about the essential strikers, I think their concerns need to be discussed and negotiated, but they must continue to work during the negotiations, because of their essential jobs.

[Kannap]

"essential workers" was a bullshit term when it popped up at the beginning of the pandemic in an attempt to fit as many employees under the umbrella of it as possible without considering their health or safety or without increasing their pay and benefits during skyrocketing corporate profits and hazardous working conditions.

"essential workers" is still a bullshit term now that looks like it's still being used to endorse and spout anti-worker bullshit.

Why?

[Kannap]

Why?

Defeatist attitudes have always rubbed me the wrong way, that can't be an enjoyable or healthy way to look at anything or live.

This needs to be a tattoo.

[Shrillland]

Why?

Doomerism is indeed a miserable existence. We all need to continue fighting as long as we can to make our world better.

The 50 or so governors of the states, did not have to shut down the economy, during the virus crisis, all we had to do is follow the heath guide lines of social distancing, wearing the masks I wear, but hate to wear, using the grease hand sanitizers and watching our hands as much as possible, required by businesses, under President Donald J Trump of the USA, we were all doing this, while working on the vaccine, the only thing we can do, and were doing under President Trump, these are Facts. SL and I agreed that we did not have to shut down the economy.

Yes.

[Tarsonis]

Yes its totally acceptable for the power to turn off for millions as bargaining chip but this coming from someone who would tell their constituents if they were Mayor or Governor to send pizza to striking workers when their is no power or food.

What absolute hyperbolic nonesense.

No he's right I would do that. And if the feds tried to force them to work the pizza toppings would be cheese, pepperoni, and .45 ACP

[Cannot think of a name]

The Democratic governor of California when he was the mayor of San Francisco and started issuing same sex marriage certificates in 2004 when only 1/3rd of the state supported it and along with Massachusetts kick started same sex marriage as a national issue and eventually leading to its legalization?

Or do we not count that because he's a Democrat and you were trying to make it seem like the parties are monolith and only outside actors did anything for it?

Save your nonsense for somebody who believes it. We didn't shut down the economy. I was working throughout the whole pandemic as were many other countless working class Americans. We spent the pandemic risking our lives and working in hazardous conditions to make the rich wealthier and to help companies see record profits. And didn't get a damn thing for it. Fuck the economy, I would love to see every single working class American go on a general strike and really shut down the economy for real. Because shit doesn't get done when the workers stop working, and it's about time the capitalists get that slap across their face.

Essential workers isn't a bullshit term. Essential workers are devoted people who served our country during its rough times of a pandemic plague. We rarely appreciate those workers; many of them getting paid little for the large, and important jobs they do.

unfortunately the savings of the average american family have only decreased in recent years. for many, missing a single paycheck could be disastrous. not saying it wouldn't be awesome to see though

Yes there were always persons working, but many stores, restaurants and hotels closed during the virus crisis, many became unemployed and the leftist politicians, VIPs and Leftist Media blamed Trump, these are facts. The health guidelines were required by businesses, under the government of President Trump, these are Facts.
