Clever use of the "I know you are but what am I?" rhetorical strategy.
Clever use of the "I know you are but what am I?" rhetorical strategy.
Yeah, I bet you are! You’re soooo mature. And knowledgeable. Wait, are you actually Barak Obama getting all pissy about people calling you out for saying stupid shit? That seems just as plausible. Actually, considering how fucking dumb voters over about 45 are in this country you probably are 57. You’ve got enough self…
I know as a 12 year old 2010 was a long time ago so you probably weren’t aware of this, but the “ratfucking” happened because of the incredible bloodbath of 2010 where the gop picked up dozens of statehouse majorities and Governorships.
Saying Obama isn’t currently using the best strategy for turning out voters in midterm elections is the same as saying “he didn’t improve anybody’s life in any way”?
Totally. If anyone knows exactly how to help members of his party elected to Congress it’s the guy who presided over his party losing their Supermajority and eventually control of both the House and Senate.
Former President Who Presided Over His Party Going From a Supermajority in Congress to Losing Both Houses as well as Dozens of Statehouse Majorities and Governorships Knows Exactly How to Get Members of His Party Elected to Congress; Claims Anonymous, Patronizing, Sexist Message Board Poster who Probably Thinks They…
Damn, you got Bernie Bro Katherine Krueger so good! I mean, calling Elizabeth Warren ”one of the Democrat’s strongest contenders for 2020" is such a vicious take down! I knew Krueger secretly hated all women politicians!
Totally. A middle aged “most powerful man in the world” getting blown by the most junior person in the workplace was the “onion on the belt” of office sex in the nineties. It was the style of the time.
Using a childlike diminutive of a female writer’s name (which she doesn’t use) is totally not sexist at all. I wonder how Kathy’s identity as a white woman gives her the ability to influence the thinking and actions of an enormous diverse group split along lines of age, class, sexuality, education, region, etc.…
I wonder why we even have politics and elections if things previous administrations do have no impact on future votes? I guess after their terms are up we should just forget everything a president did while in office and start from Year 0. It’s funny how blaming the voters for voting somehow is supposed to absolve a…
“That was a lot of wasted effort to be completely wrong on how I think.”
What a stupid measurement for how much capitalism is “regulated”. The number of pages in the CFR is immaterial. It says nothing about how much control the government exercises over businesses and industries.
And there was less inequality, labor got a large share of national income, and the government was more involved in regulating (and owning parts of) the economy. That’s exactly my point. I’m glad we agree the type of “capitalism” we have in 2018 isn’t necessary to create a good life for the majority of Americans.
“Life isn’t fair” is such a weird saying. Especially in this situation. Because while life wasn’t fair to Mr. Parker, it was very fair to the owners of the company who lent him money. Life was so fair for them that life got the state to use its monopoly on legitimate violence to take money from Parker and give it to…
It will take money from any company which has to pay corporate taxes. And why only publicly traded companies? Privately held companies can also be owned by multiple individuals or even entities (e.g. pension fund, hedge fund, etc.). So the company would pay its tax on equity in the company. The equity would just not…
It’s good to see a major party in a developed country talking about redistributing wealth in such an open fashion.
Easily. We already have a corporate tax. Change the rules so that the tax could be paid in stock equal to the amount owed in taxes.
Are you joking or being serious? Like, you either are just parroting mindless ideological bromides or you haven’t ever had a job.
It’s impossible to tell if they are being serious or doing a parody of brainless modern american conservative “thinking”. It could easily be either.
Oh my god, we were so wrong to worry about disparities in wealth and power. Why didn’t we think about the gadgets and tchotchkes? Plus, everyone knows that if we only let Jeff Bezos make millions of dollars instead of billions of dollars he would have packed his bags and left for good, never to grace us with his…
