You can toss them back under the bus the day after the election
The language in her statement yesterday suggests she may be worse. Condemning flag burning, which is protected speech. Condemning protest, which is protected speech. Equating opposition to Zionism as antisemitism, which is bold face lie and gaslighting. Made the claim that supporters of Palestinian rights were protecting Hamas, also a bold faced lie and gaslighting. Netanyahu told our government to jump and everyone of them asked how high.
Then finished it off with 'hate and violence of any kind have no place in our nation.' Which is rich coming from a country that knows nothing BUT hate and violence.
Killing and starving them with our money and our weapons. But then crying about the humanity behind it all. Sorry I don't believe it.
Is planting trees for Israel like Biden attending civil rights protests in the 60s and being top in his law class?
Did you not read her statement yesterday regarding protests in Union Station? She is 100% committed to continuing Bidens approach to Gaza and Zionists.
The median required minimum livable wage in California for a single person with no children, according to MIT living wage calculator is $27.32
Even if it does get increased to $18, it's not livable.
Under pressure from employers. If their labor costs are directly tied to the cost of housing there would be pressure to keep housing costs low. In turn still keeping wages livable
It should reduce that artificial inflation
The government wouldn't need to control housing. Landlords would be under pressure from other companies to keep housing low so their wage costs remain as low as possible.
That's why the 2 should be connected
I acknowledge that, but people keep quitting a specific number and specific numbers don't work across the nation. Because of varied COL. Minimum wage should be tied to a major COL item like housing
No where near a livable wage
We need to stop looking at minimum wage as a set number across the country, It creates a wage disparity for the working class. A livable wage in Alabama would not be a livable wage in California, a livable wage in California would be an insane wage in a place like Alabama.
The minimum wage needs to be directly tied with median housing costs either at the state level or at the county level. The wage needs to be set where housing would only comprise of a max of 30% of income. So at 30% if the median rent is $2000 per month, the livable wage in that area would be set at about $6700 a month, or about $42 an hour. This would help control housing costs as well as keep wages livable.
You see what we got last time a presidential candidate talked about hope. We got fucked and corporations got richer
The people that keep telling us that we need to save democracy by electing Democrats just appointed someone that has never won a primary, has never won a single electoral vote, came in sixth place in her own state.
Presidents are selected not elected
The word you're looking for is pragmatic
We know that's not going to happen. Did you see everyone cheering on Netanyahu as he was calling for mass censorship of people? And Kamala has taken over $5M from AIPAC. So we should expect more of the same.
In political science, a reactionary or a reactionist is a person who holds political views that favor a return to the status quo ante—the previous political state of society—which the person believes possessed positive characteristics that are absent from contemporary society.
That is exactly what's happening. The only ones that are ever going to gain any influence within the party are the ones that have vowed to uphold the status quo. The status quo that has been built by generations prior.
Anyone else remember the time where she helped kill a bill that would require cops where a body cam?

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange could walk free after a plea deal with US prosecutors to plead guilty to one count of espionage, court documents suggest.

In the tweet from Wikileaks:
JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE
Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.
This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.
After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.
WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.
As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.
Julian's freedom is our freedom.
