My comment was because people want to say there is nothing we can do. The issue isn't about options, its about education and finding a way to make progress when a good portion the electorate will only be in the way.
Spotted one of the naive ones 🙄
Should stop looking in the mirror then.
Totally off topic but anyone else pissed he named it Grok? Musk is like the turd version of King Midas. Stop touching our stuff!
it's a demonstration of how democracy is broken. It all depends on everyone to play nicely. You can cheat but if you're caught you bow out gracefully. The checks and balances are all based on one part of the government pointing saying "we see what you did, you're out." But what happens when one side has no shame. What happens when they have no empathy for others?
Congress controls funding and it is explicitly not the President's role. He is now circumventing the laws to get his agenda done without the support of Congress which should trigger an impeachment. Of course Congress is either already in his pocket or is too impotent to do anything so here we are.
So are you saying democracy doesn't work? Yes there is the corruption and all the horrible shit that goes on but no one ever had the chance to nip that in the bud before it got this bad?
The People had elections and they slowly setup then current situation. It is the current citizens having to deal with the system created by those in the past. Some are naive to how the government currently works and some are too easily swayed by misinformation so it is an uphill battle. But we still have free and fair elections so pushing for policy change is possibly. We just have 50% of the population shooting themselves in the foot not demanding the real types of change they actually need.
There is an entire set of laws on how to properly own and beat one's slaves so your comment is just flat out wrong and sounds like it's from some bad excusegist.
If you study the actual language and historical context then most of the OT was supposed to be followed by Christians. The issue came later debating between the two churches decades after Jesus' death.
Amd the eye for an eye vs turn your cheek are about two very different things and are very much compatible.
Sadly most Catholics are taught from an apologetic point of view rather than a historical literary understanding. Poor translations a d church doctrine causes many important parts to be grossly bastardized.
Seeing as they claim Jesus amd Yahweh are one in the same you can't just ignore the OT. All the condoning slavery, taking child sacrifice as payment, stoning women who don't bleed on their wedding night.... that is all part of the Christian god.
I'm going to start using this
I can see it, Yakety Sax playing the entier 4 minute game.
I think the guy you're thinking of Fox Mulder
All the children songs were like that. Remeber singing about the animals boarding the ark two by two. They seemed to skip over all the children on earth drowning.
You're talking about economic systems, that isn't what i was talking about. I was talking about how pricing works. So before you get all hot about it maybe learn the difference
I wasn't making an assumption on the actual cost and who gets the money. I'm just saying people seem dumbfounded when they hear the price of a pizza at $15 and then see a $6 delivery fee from a 3rd party and think OMG thats expensive. You were paying the pizza place half that on ever pizza even when you eat there, and then you have a business who gets no pay for the pizza unless you get it delivered so if course they are going to charge even more for delivery.
I agree that they and the dems in general are way too safe. But i wonder how accepting dem voters would be with a more aggressive candidate. I'm sure Millennials to Gen Alpha would probably be fine with it but i wonder if a good portion of the voters would poo poo a someone moving more towards the a more extreme (in presentation) candidate.
What if they made a hard line decision on a topic and held firm. The whole fracking thing is a good example. They should have just picked a side and stood their ground. instead it was 100% pandering to whoever was the loudest. Personally I would have voted for someone with conviction rather than someone who was waffling but I am not sure every other liberal voter would do the same.
