What more evidence do you need than a WaPo article talking about federal workers that declared they would resist Trump’s policies? A single article is evidence enough for you. And some people think you are a brilliant lawyer.

Why should control of 50% wealth equate to 50% of all consumption? Why not 70% of consumption or 40%? What is the reason that the two percentages are expected to be the same?

I said food consumption not amount spent on food. The two are different. The top 10% don’t consume 50% of the caloric intake of the nation.

Why “of course”? It’s not clear to me why that would the case. For instance, we wouldn’t expect the top 10% to account for 50% of all food consumption simply becuase they control 50% of the wealth.

You think Citizen’s United was a good ruling. You think the Voting Rights Act hasn’t been gutted despite thousands of polling stations shutting down. You think there was some bureaucratic state plotting against the executive despite no ev

I get the sense that Vance and Musk are the ones really in control.

What is most interesting is the presence of Vance and that he started the argument. Yesterday he was with Trump and the British PM and accused the UK of being against free speech. I don’t recall VPs being active in such meetings before no

I got my certificate of citizenship a few days after birth. I believe anyone can get this but almost no one has heard of this.

He is a deeply lonely person. He has no real friends and appears to be incapable of forming genuine emotional connections. He needs friends but doesn’t have any and the pursuit of adulation from strangers is a poor substitute but it’s the

It's time for total control… You want one person to have total control? Did you applaud his $30 billion crypto bribe?

The person I responded to thinks a birth certificate is sufficient to prove citizenship. My birth certificate can not be used to establish citizenship even though it was issued by the U.S. government and I’m a natural born U.S. citizen.

We never really addressed the issues of the Civil War. Desegregation caused white men to destroy the social fabric of the nation. We used to have municipal pools that were free to use. Ambulances used to be free as well as trash collecti

My birth certificate prominently has this written on the top: Can not be used to determine citizenship. I’m a natural born U.S. citizen.

I voted Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bob Dole. Unlike you I have a sense of ethics and I apply them consistently.

Trump annoys people that I dislike. It says a lot about you and your morals that you dislike people annoyed by a child lusting rapist.

What’s your stance on Trump’s $30 billion crypto thing? His 30 felony convictions and being found by a jury to have committed sexual assault? When he lusts after Invanka does that cause you concern? Do you find it dignified that he hawks

You are forgetting why it ended, it seems. You appear to me to be Cicero clinging to the way things were and not realizing they’ve changed.

In my opinion the system needs an overhaul. The number of Representatives hasn’t been updated in over 100 years. It is absurd that North Dakota has slightly less federal power than California. The rules of the Senate need to be overhaule

The speed run is here. Nothing will stop it. There is no status quo ante that we can realistically go back to.

by sympil 2y ago
Having the only two options being: really bad or less bad, leads to long term problems. Clearly the system needs an overhaul. The DNC wants only small, incremental changes and wants to keep the status quo in place. Trump is a lying piece

…hierarchies of power in favour of ideas of collective responsibility and decision making. Thus it can’t exist becuase some group will eventually gain more power than others and thus exert control.

Anomy is chaos, ruled by the ones with the biggest bats, without any protections against that, for the masses. Then anarchy as you describe it can not exist. In a power vacuum someone will have the biggest bat and thus be the ruler.

He got $30 billion in bribes from his crypto coin pump and dump. Instead of making assumptions inquire.

Mass hunger was solved by government. Not charities. There are instances where charity fed someone but the issue was solved when government did something. Nothing works better at scale than good governance.

Until this administration funds were spent at the behest of Congress and allocated through procedures that were set up. There is no evidence of widespread misuse of those funds. Of course having an asshole concentrate power in themselves

Rich people didn’t feed the poor. They didn’t provide universal k-12 education. They didn’t fund enough universities to provide higher education for the masses. They didn’t provide clean water. They didn’t get rid of smog or acid rain.

There are no instances in the history of the world where the wealthy, out of the goodness of their hearts, have solved hunger, childhood education, funded research programs at scale, provided safe drinking water, etc. These things are hand

Evidently I disagree. Apparently not enough people are angry enough. We elected a man who accepted $30 billion in brides the day before his inauguration and his supporters don’t care.
