This. Politics delivers what is expedient, not what is difficult. Meaningful change starts with our culture.

I didn’t even bother down voting you my dude. You’re barking up the wrong tree to avoid hearing people call you out.

Didn’t we say the same about Twitter being bought? Running it at a loss is okay for them as long as they use it to control the markets in other ways to make a profit.

Your comment history is fun. You say the left is too easy on people yet I see all these people giving you a hard time for this post. Care to explain how you resolve that cognitive dissonance to us?

Thank you for explaining that to me and expressing how you feel.

It’s a nation of laws and if that fails we need to break the law? I can’t say I disagree on the latter but that seems to negate the former.

And that’s how our system works. Ain’t it grand?

If you want to argue then address the first three sentences rebutting your argument. If you want to express your feelings you address the personal. I gave you both options and you chose the latter. Consider me your free internet schizo therapist.

And even if he was, it was a minority of people who voted for him. Representative democracy my ass.

That’s a non-sequitur. A group of people banding together to protect themselves is not automarically an *archy. Nor does it follow they are secretly in control. I think you are describing your own personal reality then the reality at large. Do women really control your life so much that you feel you are not in control of your own life? Can you cite an example for us to analyze?

That’s the nature of patriarchy. Women are to be protected while most men are disposable.

Would you say women and men are targeted in equal proportions or that one group is targeted over the other based on “perceived value”? Like I am not saying you are wrong, I am just saying, “yes, and”

That’s an ideal solution. The best solution is what works immediately and within your capabilities.

I mean, why do you think they are targeting women in the first place?

At present, it is impossible to predict long-term technological developments and the evolution of consumer preferences.
Ah yes, it is impossible to know whether a consumer will still want faster Internet in the future. They could enjoy the retro experience of a dial up modem making noises when connecting.

Selling a good thing like Medicare for all is a skills issue at this point. And if we keep hiring Democrats who lack that level of communication skills, then don’t blame the voters for failing to know what is at stake.

Does being blackmailed count?
Because there’s a monopoly on violence and they set the boundaries of that violence.
