    I. Have. The. Right. To. Tell. People. What. I. THINK. Their. Priorities. SHOULD. BE.

    I’m not, but I sure as shit get to tell them what I think their priorities should be. You fucking baby.

    I guess if you’re a consequentialist which seems like a pretty impractical philosophy for a society to me.

    Nope, she was taken entirely out of context.

    So if I posted a picture, name and address of someone and just made up some bad shit that they did and I didn’t suggest anyone hurt him, but someone took it upon themselves to set his house on fire and kill him, I wouldn’t have some culpability? Morally, if not legally (but probably also legally)?

    Ugh, and now we’re almost certainly going to go back to the Conservatives, who are starting to be just as racist and shitty as the American ones.

    Sadly, I’d have to say yes. Same with truly addressing wealth inequality. Hopefully you guys try to kill two birds with one stone?

    I agree, however, I think that’s a legislative issue for down the road, not a CAMPAIGN issue for this particular election.

    Safeguarding it? They don’t currently have it! Them having it has never been a real leftist issue! I’ve never really noticed it being discussed until now!

    And I agree with you on that stuff. I’m not even sure ANY of them are “evil” - they’re victims of circumstance and genetics and brain chemistry and how they were raised - I’m not a tough on crime kinda guy. But we’ve got to do a lot of work before they even have someone worth voting for - there are just too many more

    Wrong on the first count, but moving on. Though there is a compelling argument to be made for forgetting everything that isn’t climate change, I will give us credit enough to work on at least a handful of major issues at once. Giving prisoners the right to vote (in what is STILL going to be a choice between a bad

    I don’t care about whether Republicans will accept it - that’s not my point. You’re wrong that there’s only one correct answer - this is going to be a divisive issue among DEMOCRATS, because I think there are compelling arguments on both sides. And there are too many issues with only one correct answer that aren’t

    Unlike a lot of issues, though, I don’t think this is a clear-cut case of right and wrong. There are compelling reasons why someone who is in jail for life for murdering another person shouldn’t have a say. I’ve never been okay with former prisoners not being allowed to vote, but I can’t say I’ve given too much

    I’m one of the few people on this site who thinks you are saying some important things right now, but this issue is a waste of fucking time. Right NOW. I hope and pray (metaphorically speaking) that we get to a point where we can address these things, but this issue is not presently worth the damage it will do to

    Climate change, wealth inequality and the manipulative powers of social media are EXISTENTIAL THREATS to HUMANITY right now and any energy devoted to issues other than these is wasted energy.

    Jesus Christ, with all the important changes Democrats have to stump for right now, allowing prisoners - people who we’ve already decided should be stripped of a lot of rights and freedoms - to vote is way too fucking low on the list to be wasting any time on. This is exactly the kind of shit the Russians want the

    Read Jaron Lanier’s book “Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now” - not only is the problem so much deeper than white supremacists, Twitter might be responsible for the temperament of the Trump we’ve all known and loved the past 6-7 years!  

    I’m with you - I don’t support the death penalty in principle - I think the possibility of one innocent person being put to death for a crime they didn’t commit, is too unbearable for a society to risk - but that doesn’t mean I feel a damn bit of pity for most of the guilty motherfuckers that do get done. Adios,

    Sri Lanka should keep Facebook blocked and every other country should follow suit. They are the death of humanity.

    Why ‘Christians’, why not Fairytale Believing Morons?
