American Politics XIII: (Un)Lucky For Some

[The United Penguin Commonwealth]

I wouldn't call Fascism very coherent.

It is coherent to some degree.

it's policies and views are coherent individually, but they do not work together to form a coherent whole.

Okay I am obviously pro striking but Governmnet employees literally have the best benefits and pay on the market. They get paid between 48K-80K depending and yearly raises with the rate of inflation, paid sick, parental, and vacation, tax free savings accounts, pension retirement plans, comprehensive health insurance at barely any cost, they normally pay off student loans or give you the cost of your tuition back.

I honestly don't see what they are striking for? Literally the Public sector has it good!

And how much does the equivalent make outside of government? Are the benefits good, yes, but the pay tends to be lower than what they would make outside.

It's also worth noting that since Amtrak operates a minute fraction of rail miles in the U.S., and maintains an even more minute portion of the track, that there simply aren't public sector jobs for most railroad workers.

Functional and coherent aren't the same thing. Regardless, nitpicking a statement that effectively expressed the idea behind it is silly.

Here's to hoping Republicans continue to kick out neocons and RINOs and remake the party on legitimate conservative values.

All they need to do is ask each Dem candidate they are competing against "Can only women get pregnant?" and they will wipe the elections.

Answer nope, however, only females, and not all females, can get pregnant.some men can get pregnant.

[The United Penguin Commonwealth]

social democrats are widely considered center-left. by saying "you aren't leftist if you don't want to violently overthrow capitalism", you are actively alienating the majority of your potential allies. socialism is still a small ideology in the US.

Social Democrats are not our allies. They fight in the defense of Capitalism, not in opposition to it. They are not our comrades; we have no reason to appeal to them.

social democrats don't want to "defend" capitalism, they want to improve it. socialism is not popular and a revolution will not result in this socialist utopia you dream of. it is likely that an even worse system emerges from the chaos.

Answer nope, however, only females, and not all females, can get pregnant.some men can get pregnant.

And that answer from a Dem will win the Republicans every election. 99% of Americans agree with the biological answer that only women can get pregnant. Anything else is seen as lunacy, or a lie.

So...trans men aren't men....trans women aren't women? Psychological data would disagree with you.

Looks at the various democrat controlled states…nope you are factually wrong.

"Psychological data" doesn't dictate how people vote, though.

I'm sure you have a reliable source for that percentage.

Yeaaa....No. Sorry....most conservatives are worried about real issues like jobs, the future, etc. The fact their are icky trans people is limited to a small percentage. Those people tend to be unhappy with most things anyway.

Even then. Biology isn't a defining moment on the matters of humanity. Most people are still having more then enough children to keep the species going. The fact there is LGBTQ+....isn't that big of a deal.

And what do you mean by "legitimate conservative values"?

[The United Front Empire]

Not the elections where there are more important issues on the table

1. It doesn't matter. If a Democrat answers anything besides "Only biological women can get pregnant" they will get torn apart at the polls.

2. What are the more important issues? More things the Dems have failed on?

Gas? Inflation? The supply chain? Violent crime? School material?

I think it was Virginia that had that special election already for governor and had the red wave, we are already seeing what issues people care about.

1 million Democrats have swapped parties this year.

Neocons are the REAL Republicans. Everyone else is a RINO.

And I am sure you can provide a source for all of these claims that isn't just your rectum.

I'm not exactly fond of automation putting people out of work, especially when many new jobs we create are shitty low paying jobs in the service industry.

That's a way of life though. Error prone jobs get automated. As automation improves; it branches out to other areas. Take tech; why have a human reading through error logs when you can automate it and catch more.

Before I got laid off; I was working on an AI to handle low level system administration tasks.

Such actions though will lead to universal health care, basic incomes, and shelters. There will be more people then jobs....

I think it may be overly optimistic to presume "more people than jobs" will result in less work hours, or robust social programs, and not just more and more people living in tents down by the canal.

What do you want a source on? These are the campaign issues being talked about everywhere in politics everyday. None of this is even debatable that it is happening, the debate is what side is right.

No they won't. It's only an issue religious types whose fefes are hurt by knowing they exist.

2. What are the more important issues? More things the Dems have failed on?

Gas? Inflation? The supply chain? Violent crime? School material?

If you think the dems are only to blame for those; you are deluding yourself at best.

Jobs and inflation are on everybody's minds. How to deal with the great resignation is also puzzling people. This is a huge setback for the cons and free market types who have been trying to get people thinking their only reward is having a job.

Even then. LGBTQ+ people existing are only issues for religious conservatives. The rest are concerned about inflation and job outlooks.

It probably is. I have a problem with being a Pollyanna at times.

[Cannot think of a name]

Damn workers striking is a threat? Maybe they should do it more.

It kinda does sound like whole reason strikes exist.

I suppose only time will tell, and maybe we'll get lucky and you'll be right on this one.
