with worker's rights eroding combined with stagnating wages and pro police states the US is poised to become the next China
yes please give us more low paying not enough to cover housing and food factory jobs
the country is less progressive now then when Biden was in office with Obama
on that note US citizens enjoy less rights than their counterparts living in the 60s
fucking sad Americans are willingly ready to suck Biden or Trump depending on your favorite color
all voters could just protest by voting someone else if the top two choices suck but hey the democrats wouldn't like that because that would be a vote for Trump
singular choice between one senile Demopublican or the other one
one has a D and likes blue the other has an R and likes red
the next four years will have the same result either way unless the citizens unite and vote some other party in
on that note yes it is next to impossible already agree
remember when Obama and Biden had a third party candidate chained to a chair for eight hours
if the people reject the two party system and quit supporting it yes it will fail same as any business people quit shopping at
it is already the end of the Republic if you have gotten a politician to force to you to vote for them
coerced vote because of threats is not an autonomous one born of rational thinking
Biden and Trump want the same thing even if the route looks different
like the people voting the same over and over again expecting different results
wait until they make up or change a law or policy that makes people like you their target like they keep doing
will you still be singing the same tired old tune then?
Have you had to care for someone Biden's age? He would be about 86 if got through another term in office. Think Trump would be about 82.
Watching the debate was like watching two of my grandfather, who take of, on stage. Love that man and respect him but would not put him in charge of something that important.
no please we do not need a prosecutor for a president
the police problem is bad enough thanks to politicians like Biden and Harris
stay in Tulsa and without knowing where to look hard to find the area not really marked or anything
86 years old if he get reelected and makes the full four year and Trump would have 82 years on him by the end of his term if he won the election
after election night we will still be in the retirement home waiting to die
Democrats and Republicans should have added new blood into the mix
atrophy against fascism is just as bad as active fascism
both sides are definitely not the same
Trump is actively campaigning for fascist views while Biden is a typical Democrat acting like it is a lazy river
amazing we are back to this timeline but now in full color
Biden did not put forth a progressive or convincing counterweight to Trump’s xenophobic and authoritarian tirades.
Donald Trump's overarching narrative for the debate was that Joe Biden has diminished U.S. power by opening the border and allowing millions of "Illegal immigrants" released "From prisons, jails and mental institutions" to come into the country to "Take our jobs," overwhelm our health care and Social Security systems, and rape and kill us.
Rather than pointing out Trump's utter lack of concern for people's well-being, Biden's rebuttal fell into the trap of trying to respond to Trump's tirades, allowing the former president to control the agenda and tone of the debate.
Trump used this as an opportunity to point out how little progress has been made under Biden and that Biden helped drive these disparities through his embrace of the "Superpredator" myth in the 1990s.
While many in the Biden administration and its key constituencies favor dialing back criminalization, they feel that it is politically impossible to state that clearly and openly, leaving the president to quietly support some good programs, while publicly leaning into a police-centered crime control strategy that will never be able to compete with Trump's undiluted authoritarianism.
Biden's weak policies and incoherent responses during the debate may give us another four years of Trump and his drive to turn the U.S. into a despotic kleptocracy.
how we get shitty choices
people bend over to take it without even asking for their hair to be pulled or some lube or foreplay and beg for more while their ass gapes and bleeds
neither Trump nor Biden have any business in this race and it goes to show that US voting is nothing more than bread and circuses
when has any actual progress happened?
women's right's, worker's rights including living wages, healthcare, environmental policies, police reform, tax reform, education reform
none of this happened the whole of Biden term in office nor in Obama's or any democrat before that so why would they do anything different now
if all people care about are letters and colors why even have an election we can all just go back to kindergarten while the country burns
and without the minimum wage going up housing costs are more than $7.25 an hour will cover not to mention food costs
starting wages such as Walmart's since covid have dropped significantly and no longer pay a living wage sometimes $13 an hour or lower
not sure if this was even talked about during the debate by either candidate
definitely stand corrected
and that is what your parents were told by their parents who were told by their parents
same things your kids will tell your grandchildren who will then go on to tell your great grandchildren
"Kept voting the same party in and the outcome was always the same because of that damn other party! and that same other party is making sure my party can't do anything!"
doing something over and over without changing any variables but expecting a different result than the one you keep getting is insanity not voting
In response to the hemorrhaging of support for Joe Biden due to his blatant role in facilitating Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians, the Democrats are seeking to suppress all political parties outside the framework of the corporate-controlled two-party system.
The Democratic Party is launching an "all-out war" to block third parties from appearing on the 2024 US election ballot. This is in response to declining support for President Biden and the Democratic Party. The World Socialist Web Site has published articles exposing these anti-democratic efforts, which have received widespread attention and support on social media. Third party candidates like Jill Stein and Cornel West have condemned the Democratic Party's actions as an assault on democratic rights and voter choice. The Socialist Equality Party has also voiced support for the right of independent and third party candidates to access the ballot, connecting this to the broader fight against the corporate-controlled two-party system.
All of that military funding comes at the direct cost of funding social programs and climate programs.
The Military Budget Underwrites War — and Genocide
The deal includes $886 billion for the military, but that will most likely grow. War funding for the current year wasn’t included in the current deal, but President Joe Biden has requested $106 billion, of which $65 billion is for military purposes .
The Losers: All of Us
All of that military funding comes at the direct cost of funding social programs and climate programs.
Flipping the Script
The clear answer to this is a budget that flips the script, providing more for human needs, climate, and diplomacy while providing less for war and militarism. The path to get there is fraught, but there are signs of hope.
God and Satan are on a train discussing the fate of three individuals. The stories of the people in question are told in a trio of very strange vignettes. One involves an insane asylums with some very interesting treatment plans. Another involves a 'death club'. The final story shows us the adventures of a server of Satan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpxPU5SG-So
