Publicly funded elections are so needed.

Maybe we give the existing department teeth instead of creating another office. Seems more efficient.

As Gerrymandered as most red states are now and all the voter suppression tactics, I don’t know “stupid enough” would be the cause. The popular vote WILL go to Kamala. It’s whether the gaming of the electoral system can be overcome.

Many vote red but it is also all the barriers they put in the way for democratic voters. This is a deeply corrupt state.

People distancing themselves since they found out the DOJ can prove it’s built on Russian money.

Bitchy oligarch isn’t above the law everywhere like he wishes. Hope this helps with his downfall.

Sadly, the Supreme court right wing activist judges are working to make anti-trust rules unconstitutional and Kroger’s lawsuit language makes clear they counting on that.

Sounds like they need to nationalize drug production. NIH and universities do most of the development of new drugs anyway. Fuck the crooks in big pharma.

Republicans: Dem’s are anti-parent and anti-child

Also Republicans: No free lunches for children, no child tax credits, no child care assistance, get rid of public schools so you have to pay more, nothing to help make children affordable.

The case for not: he’s a bitch

They arrested hundreds of regular people for J6 but they are somehow powerless to deal with this fuck. Scary how fragile our government truly is.

Dude, what are you talking about? I live in rural Indiana. I also realize that cost of living is not the same in every area and making the minimum wage one flat rate creates problems when the cost of living is not flat. This is common sense, not a bias against “flyover states” like the one I live in. That’s why I said it should be pegged to cost of living reports that are already conducted by the government across every region of the country. This way if rent goes up, it would automatically be accounted for and adjusted.

No, but the same food and lodging costs drastically different based on location in this country. A New York City cost of living would bankrupt small businesses in rural Nebraska who also price their services based on regional costs. It’s just more logical than a flat minimum wage for the whole country.

The reason our elections last so long is because the 24 hour news channels turned them into a horse race to fill 24 hour coverage. 24 hour news has done a huge disservice to this country.

Minimum wage should not be voted on by congress. It should be pegged to cost of living by region. The government already does all this measuring of cost of living by region. Make the minimum 125% of cost of living and be done with it. It’s clear congress can’t handle the task.

Don’t discount Peter Thiel’s deep pockets in this decision. Thiel owns Vance.

Peter Thiel spent a lot of money to get his taint skin puppet Vance on the ticket.

And with that 25% tax he would still have more money than he could ever spend. These billionaires are not humans, their ghouls. They deserve our hate.

Taking shots at him won’t fix anything. He’s just a demagogue figure head for the movement created by billionaires and their foundations. If people want to fix America, we need billionaires cowering in fear. They are so bold in their corruptions because they get away with it.
