Solid choice.

There was a point in fifth grade when I was into plesioasurs after reading books about the Loch Ness Monster and Mokele Mbembe.

Yep, my favorite as well.

It just doesn't get any cooler than a literal living tank.

It would take a revolution to make meaningful positive change in this country.

The supreme Court made abortion illegal.

I didn't say otherwise. I said Dems controlled the other two branches of government and did nothing to change that, and it's a factual statement.

Kamala represents real generational change

Yeah, I bought into that the first time they sold it to me back in 2008. All we got for it was a dead terrorist, legal torture, more expensive health care and... basically nothing else. And Obama had a supermajority for a while too.

Let's be real here.

We've had 40 years of Democratic and Republican rule, and we know exactly what they're fighting for. 2/3 of the US states still have a minimum wage tied to the federal, meaning in 2/3 of the US states you can be paid less than a Starbucks coffee for an hour of work.

Roe was repealed when Democrats had Congress and the presidency. All they did was use it to raise money, and have to date done nothing significant to try and win back our rights to our own bodies.

Most Americans are grappling with double the grocery bills and costs of living they had prior to 2020, and Dems response has been to ignore it and find another half trillion dollars for other countries' wars and child genocide in Israel.

These are the Democrats sitting by and letting cop cities happen, and remember, it was Biden who mocked the defund movement in his first SOTU.

They're not fighting for the future. They're fighting for the wealthy and to keep that sweet war money flowing, and they don't give a damn what happens to you.

It's been a few days and already the excuses are flying.

And Harris is supposed to be our big, blue protector from the fascists?

Yeah, people have believed in dumb shit like that since our species emerged from the primordial ooze.

This world isn't going to die.

It's just going to change.

Our species might though.

Only in a perfect world.

You're so right.

I'm just going to ignore that they pretended the parliamentarian's word was law, which the Republicans did not do when Trump's tax scam was passed.

Seeing as how Biden's sitting around doing nothing about cop cities and the criminalization of abortion and homelessness, all the while supporting child genocide, it seems your problem is with Red fascism as opposed to Blue fascism, from where I'm looking.

Minimum wage is currently a partisan issue, a party that believes it should be increased and a party who doesn't think it should exist.

False.

It's 100% a bipartisan issue. Both have agreed that the status quo is a-okay, judging by their actions on the issue over the last near-20 years.

Harris has generally pushed for minimum wage increases where she can

I said 'something significant'. Broken promises and pledges aren't significant. We've had almost two decades of broken promises and pledges on the federal minimum wage, and now people can be legally paid less than cup of Starbucks per hour in 2/3 of the US states.

No, it isn't.

Campaign finance is the topic.

Please actually read what I post before responding and stay on topic.

Thanks.

Unlike a certain rich republican candidate who has misused funds, the money goes to their campaign not the person themselves

That's not true.

Candidates of both stripes can, and do, loan their campaigns money at interest, and it's legal. Both Clinton and Trump made headlines for it in 2016.

Further, the federal minimum wage hasn't gone up since 2008, and that's more than enough proof to me that neither party cares about people.

Don't contribute money to these assholes. Put it in your savings or investments instead.

It puzzles me why leftist parties don't all embrace lower taxes for the middle class.

Functionally, we don't have one. The closest is the Green Party, but they're so powerless that they may as well not exist.

We can, but it requires not having billionaires.

Right?

It doesn't make any sense to me either.
