Then dude goes on to "explain" his attending "March for Israel" trying to both sides things...give us a break VJ. When have you ever attended a march for Palestine then? Oh wait you can't because that would get you fired from CNN.

Hey I voted for Harris. I'm just saying, understand why the enthusiasm wasn't exactly over the top. They messed up, they need to own it.

You all wouldn't believe how cheap groceries are in Germany. And they have a $15 minimum wage mind you.

In the logic of Charlie Kirk, just saying, if you don't want to get attacked for being a fascist, maybe you shouldn't flaunt it so much 🤷🏼

Philosophical Question of the Day: Is it more important to have a soul, or to have empathy?

Today in "It's Always Cheaper in Berlin, Germany!" Am I wrong? This is a medium sized bag, not small. Add 30¢ for conversion. They're usually around $3 ($2.99) in the US right? The country where they're made? Wtf?

(FYI, the #German #MinimumWage is equivalent to $15/hour)

We need to switch to proportional representation, this is getting ridiculous.

Every X,000 votes gets you a party member elected. But if you can't even get that, yeah sorry. But it's way better than getting no representation at all, even if you get 49% of the voters with you.

In Proportional Representation, your vote in that set up isn't necessarily to win a race or "beat the other guy," it's basically to see how big your team should be. You are guaranteed some representation no matter how small your votes are, so long as you get a least over the min needed for one rep.

If you really care about #TexasRedistricting then that would mean you agree that fair representation is one that is in proportion with its voters, correct? So why don't we just have #ProportionalRepresentation like so many other countries have? What is that, you ask?

Theft is not paying your fair share for services you use, theft is attempting to pay workers as far below the value they provide as possible. Ie trying to do away with a minimum wage.

Theft is also arbitrary #tariffs in order to pay your ICE thugs to violate people's rights.

I insist that the next Democratic president hide the expenses of #MedicareForAll inside "an over-budget, behind-schedule Air Force nuclear modernization program."

...just like Trump's Qatari Airplane reno.

This is exactly what Andrew Yang said, too bad no one took him seriously.

This state of the US right now feels like something Marx would've predicted had he more time: The real form of late-stage capitalism being virtual monopolies turning to the government for more money or economic power, and the government in turn using the virtual monopolies for more political power.
