      I believe that this is part of the Christian dogmatic pipeline. If you require social services, check your closest church. And of course you will need to be a member in good standing to keep access… Etc

        It’s also convenient that churches tend to be de facto segregated by race. We’re not racist, we just setup institutions that happen to work in racist ways.

    I love how “socialism” is a smear in a country that has “e pluribus unum” on its money. Unum, only up to a point, I guess.

      I am pretty sure whoever really Luigied Brian Thompson will Luigi any conspirators.

      But in all seriousness, he needs a major security detail at all times, and he needs to be pragmatic about public appearances.

      He won’t. But an insane amount of money is going to be poured on a smearing campaign and support of an independent candidate, because to ultra-wealthy dems donors, better a Republican than a socialist.

      I bet it won’t happen, or at least not until 2030. A perpetual “this person won’t vanish” is really difficult to say with confidence.

    USD$30 is a pretty good minimum wage. That’s almost twice as much as I made at my first full-time job.

    Imagine painting no cost childcare and $30 minimum wage as something bad. Ugh. Those poor rich people are gonna be slightly less rich!

      I don’t think rich people will be slightly less rich.

      Free child care is a no-brainer. More people working, more productivity, more taxes, et cetera.

        Free child care might inspire adults to have more kids. Even more people working, more productivity, etc.

          We are not doing common sense approaches to fertility. We are only restricting things and then acting surprised when it backfires. Kind of like Russia is doing. Odd.

    TFW your government literally just hooked a brain dead pregnant woman up to life support against the wishes of her family, to force her to give birth, but somehow tries to paint political promises of baby baskets for newborns as dystopian nightmare fuel.

      Wasn’t the baby just delivered a few days ago, very premature? Wasn’t it also known that it had hydrocephaly? (both things not very compatible with life)

      Using a braindead woman and her braindead premature fetus as political football against the wishes of her family.

      That’s so evil it’s a fucking cartoon. Like twirl your moustache, give an evil laugh, and then steal a blind person’s cane while jaywalking.

        Not sure about hydrocephalus, but it was delivered at the earliest point the hospital was willing to do. The chances of the baby surviving are low regardless of other complications like that.

        I learned after, the mother was literally rotting on the table. This was only done because it was a black woman without the resources to fight back.

        Problem is a lot of them would agree with you on the first one, and say all the billionaires are in fact democrats. It’s impossible to even backwards reason with the right/YouTube/fox mind…

          It doesn’t matter. They’re “bullies” and they don’t know what words mean so you throw it right back at them. Woke cummunist Trump doing some more bullshit
