Grifters be grifting. These guys stand nothing for but money.

Oh no.

The horror. Please don’t do this.

Please don’t include education Healthcare and child care either.

That’s the absolute worst thing you could do to create a socialist state.

Let’s not give these people all the power to make the decisions in the state either. It would also be really bad. They might do things like make sure everybody’s paid a living wage.

Yes he’s wildly popular.

The DNC is considering not giving him the nomination regardless of his win of the primary.

Andrew Cuomo is running independent with his Super PAC that raised billions of dollars.

Bill Ackman is offering billions of dollars to anybody who can ensure that Zohran cannot win. Admittedly this last one’s a bit of a stretch since this dude’s also a trump supporter.

These are examples of the DNC not getting out of its own way.

I am under no illusions that even if and it’s a big if the Democrats managed to take back enough seats in both the house and the Senate to actually impeach and prosecute Trump that they still won’t do it that they will be spineless and that they will offer supposed Olive branches across the aisle.

We had one guy win a primary in a mayoral race. You guys are acting as if this changes everything. It’s interesting to watch for sure and there are lessons to be learned but that does not mean that everything is changing. It’s not even guaranteed he’ll win the Mayoral race. The DNC is even considering not giving him the nomination despite him winning.

The billionaire class is already mobilizing to try and ensure this guy never gets elected. Do you think they’re going to make it any easier when he’s in office?

By all means we should engage in electoral politics but we should not be under any illusions that it will fix the system we have nor should we be under any illusion that our politicians will save us from the problem that is Donald Trump. If anything the Democrats seem more than happy to capitulate to what he wants since they’re not in the majority.

I really really don’t think that will change anything. People been trying to change the democrats for the better part of ten years.

Name one landmark foundational thing they have done in the last ten years thats really benefited the majority of Americans.

There isn’t one that isn’t a major concession that undercuts the original proposal.

Have you met the supreme court?

You mean to say our votes can override an organization that argued in court that since its a private service they could just ignore the vote of the people and pick who they wanted?

The same organization that always manages to organize and attack leftist like Zohran and Bernie but can’t find any footing against Trump?

Yep. That will work. Just gotta vote harder.

Hahahahahahaha

Not even if the Dems had the vote. I am positive someone would block it for civility reasons.

The dems can not get out of their own way. See Zohran win in NYC.

Terrible Trigger Discipline but that looks like it’s a BB gun…

Why? They cant even get aid without it being drugged. This is fucked

I don’t mean this to sound crass but 2% unemployment sounds lovely. The United States is normally around 9 to 12% unemployment.

You’re right we definitely do have more open positions and a lot of those jobs, But ultimately I think it kind of washes out by the fact that everything here is so expensive and that unless you’re paid extremely well in your field it’s really hard to make it.

Anyway this has been really interesting hearing about some of the issues going on in the netherlands. I have some research to do. Your government tends to be a lot better at governing in mind so I’ll be interested to hear what the solution that y’all come up with.

Ah yes we should just swallow everything any NATO country tells us as an objective fact.

Understood.

Ugh.

• Omar Khadr: Pled guilty to spying in Canada in 2010 was held in gitmo Bay before being transferred to Canada

Seriously I don’t know why I’m I’m even dignifying this with a response because we both know that they hold people there that they accuse of being terrorist or Spies of terrorists without any due process and so we don’t know their names typically and we don’t know why they’re in there other than what the US government will tell us which isn’t much.

We also have multiple officials from that time admitting that the president and most the administration from that time knew that most of the people put in gitmo Bay were innocent And kept there because it was politically expedient. And that’s just according to Wikipedia.

Still it’s not a far stretch to imagine that United States has imprisoned foreign spies in places like gitmo Bay without informing the public.

Sorry I read something else and got confused I’ll go correct the information later.

hurr durr none of these were spies. They were only accused of spying

Duh

Ahmed al Halabi

This guy was actually acquitted of the charges but was still horribly abused inside the prison: Captain James Yee

Mohammed Hashim

Omar Ahmed Khadr

I mean these are just a few. This wasn’t even hard to look up. Did you not expect that there would be actual spies in one of the US terrorist torture camps?

~~That’s an interesting part of the story but in this case this Canadian tourist hadn’t live in the country at all. I feel like the speed at which he entered the US and then died indicates a problem with us custody and handling.

Like I feel like it’s more egregious if you lived in the country for 30 years and then you know were prosecuted as a spy but to just die from being detained is total bullshit~~

Misread something not valid.

Someone’s never heard of Gitmo Bay 🤣

From my personal experience people in the US don’t have a lot of different jobs to choose from but we really don’t. Unless you have the education and connections for the most part you’re relegated to retail. It’s hard to even get into management nowadays. Sure there’s job growth but for the most part it’s for minimum wage retail jobs or salary jobs that are for Dollar General where your work 80 hours to the Bone.

Most of my family Works Blue Collar construction jobs because they pay more consistently and they’re easier to get into then the white collar stuff that I work in

Would you mind expanding on how there’s a limited job market in the EU? I have the standard American perspective of the EU of being this nigh utopian place of freedom and competition even though I know it’s actually not like that. The EU does definitely help with those type of regulations. The United States answers to the people with the most money typically the companies. That’s why the iPhones would never be USB C if it was up to Americans.
