  • Old/retired is social security/401k/pension.

    Not everybody has payed enough into social security to get any use out of it, and not everybody has a 401k/pension. And that especially goes for pensions.

    Chronically ill is social security.

    Unless I’m missing something, people who are chronically ill are typically on medicaid, not social security. But my question was really about the “heal to a point where they can get off social programs part”.

    There are many people who will never, for the rest of their life, or for a very long part of their life have no ability to heal or become able bodied. Are you suggesting they get booted off these programs anyways?










  • They changed tune after they say people didn’t want that and crime was increasing. Yet still some are pushing it such as

    Doesn’t matter because most democrats never supported it as you understand it.

    It shows a trillion dollar deficit increase. Thats spending without a plan.

    Which is tame in comparison to how much it grows under republicans. Under democrats the deficit usually goes down, under republicans it usually explodes. That’s because democrats are generally better at economics. Republicans just give tax breaks to the rich and borrow the remainder.

    When trans rights infringe on the rights of women.

    They don’t though.

    Jk Rowling has written some wonderful articles on the topic

    I’m going to continue to avoid her bigoted ass like the plague.




  • They want to dismantle the police, spend more without figuring out how to pay for anything. They push misogynistic policies.

    None of that is true.

    The democrats are just a mess.

    They absolutely are, but not for the ressons you’re listing. That’s why I hate voting for them but unfortunately do because there are no better choices thanks to our dumb two party system.

    Companies should not be running the show.

    I agree. And thats why I think giving politicians money in any form should be criminalized, we should switch to STAR voting, elections should be run from shared fund pools, etc.




  • You made a trolling comment.

    If by trolling you mean “critical”, then sure, but otherwise no.

    The democrats are a party based on racism and classes. Everyone is a victim and they need the government to fix their problems.

    Not really. The democrats are a corporate owned, vaguely centrist to right wing party. As for your nanny state worries, those just honestly don’t make sense.

    I voted for the democrats twice and nothing came from it

    Our political system is intentionally designed to only change slowly. So expecting massive change from 2 single votes is quite frankly ridiculous. And again, democrats are corporate owned, so even when they get in they largely don’t do anything useful.
