I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.
Anarchist/libsoc. If we’re stuck with a government, it should use its taxes for healthcare and education, not murdering.
Just because the Republicans are awful doesn’t excuse the Democratic party for being completely ineffective captured opposition.
If this was on every post they’d downvote until you get banned. They hate any criticism because the other guy is worse. Even when they agree on the same goals, just slightly different methods.
Like Bernie, AOC are. But that’s too much work, they gotta vote yes on what Trump wants and ship more weapons to Israel!
“See we caught these guys without doing it, thank of how many more we can catch if we do! Like all the terrorists America has caught with violating their privacy. …Maybe some day they will.”
Probably, hes the least bad politician in America.
God do I know, I’m stressed to high hell about my living situation, the landlord, and a worker/cleaner who hates being a cleaner he signed up for.
They would, they just think since he’s registered R that defines everything about him, instead of how Biden loves most of Trump’s policies.
Yep, Thormud is the Ur-Conservative of modern American politics. He was deeply racist, and always deflected with “I’m not a racist, I just think states have more rights than the federal system does!”
Anyone who defends him is like him. Old racist bastards. We should have left him and the people who admired him in the dust, but there are politicians today who supported him until he died. One even gave a Eulogy and called him his friend. https://www.c-span.org/clip/public-affairs-event/user-clip-biden-eulogy-of-strom-thurmond/4678933
Neat that it has an article already.
I’ve had a few bad encounters with FS, personally. Most often when I called out something Biden did that was genuinely bad (Gaza, COVID mismanagement, Mexican border cages) and he would often blow up at me.
In the final months, he swore anyone attacking him was mocking him for his medical issues randomly, often felt like it was a way to gain sympathy and avoid being downvoted for being rude or oddly combative to people agreeing with him.
If FS comes back, I hope they’re better off mentally and health wise, and I hope they’re better in general, especially their children.
I mean I’m more against Christmas for the idea you need to buy gifts, and “you gotta be happy, its the one day a year to be happy!”
But I dislike that for every holiday, not because it involves Christ or anyone else.
“I want to be respected for who I am. My identity doesn’t define me, my actions do.”
“Ew, gross.”
There is no bill being blocked by this. I like the speech but this is not blocking any bills.
I dislike FS but he literally left the country because of his family. His daughter is targetted by MAGA fascism, and he got her and his family out.
He had the means to and I don’t blame him for getting out. If I had the money I would too, and give my friends the means to as well.
We can be good, but we have a lot of poverty testing that prohibits others from that same system.
It is generous, and I hope we can keep it that way, but it also is means tested and often sucks people out of higher education. I’m personally a victim of that, with my local community college.
I am however thankful you got something good, and I wish more people could have it.

He has broken the record set by Thormud in 1957 when he protested the Civil RIghts Act.
And this is why Cory is one of my fav senators, and I’m not in Jersey. EDIT: I regret saying this, he supports Israel.
I hope he breaks the record that Thormud made when protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957. It would look kinda cool that it was broken to help stop what Thormud wanted in the future.

I fucking hate my state for this shit. Acts like we’re better than Texas or Florida but still is proudly bigoted and hates the poor.
Obama wasn’t president, or was he white?
I agree completely, but when she first came onto the scene I had a bit of hope.
Plus I have to censor myself so liberals don’t think I’m somehow a Russian bot despite being an anarchist.
My dad is 60 and has had a stroke in Janurary. He’s far from perfect, but he’s been a good role model for me, made me a better person, and helped me when I realized my mom was more insane each passing day.
This fucker is the oldest one, looks worse, is angry 24/7, and hasn’t had one.
Life is a cruel joke.
