Again, not liberals. No matter How many times you write it, it’s not going to make it true. Your lack of historical knowledge is no basis for an argument. The parties did switch. You you really think David Duke would run as a democrat? Seriously, do you think the KKK voted for Hillary? Racists vote republican…

I can’t write any of it off. Or my union dues. Or any other expenses I have under a standard payroll job. Or my state taxes.

Correction: Two years six months and fifteen days. But lets hope he beats the odds. If anyone is criminal, and stupid enough, he is.

Again, not liberals. Conservative democrats that essentially became republicans in the last century.

Those were conservative Democrats. Not liberals. Back then the Democratic Party was what the republicans are now. The party essentially switched last century. The Dixiecrats became republicans. Shills typically like to claim that the Democratic Party is the racist one because of the past big it simply isn’t true.…

“We are locking up kids applying for asylum?”

No, the way it’s divided, Dems would at best would get 4 senators, and the GOP 2. Thats a wash. 2 more for each party. But thats not a given.The electoral college is where we would only lose. There is no way we could take all three states in a national election. This is a bad idea, and needs to be put down.  

Well remember, thats only temporary. There are sunset provisions that make your cuts go away, then you will be in the same boat as me. I think it’s only 5 years. The huge corporate tax cut is permanent though. So they get their’s, we get fucked. Don’t forget the increase to the debt to do it. Over two trillion. …

“racism is dead”

I didn’t say we should get rid of the bill of rights. Just that the President should be elected with a majority vote. One person one vote. Not one person 1.15 votes and another person 0.85 votes.  The electoral college doesn’t work as designed. It was designed when horseback was the fastest way to get from place to…

“That shows just how much bullshit the Doomsday Clock” actually is.”

Well the electoral college is outdated. It makes my vote worth less than someone in a state with less people. Not only that it has failed us twice in the last 20 years. There is no reason in this age of information that we can’t get a simple majority vote for national elections. It makes it so “safe” states get…

I will no longer be able to write off tools I purchase for work. No more writing off my union dues. No more deducting my state taxes. When I calculated for next year, it was over 2k more.  

Well, I don’t want to assume that. I assumed Trump would never in a million years become president, but here we are. Also, best case scenario: Dems get two more senators and the GOP gets two more. Thats a wash at best. Worse the GOP could pick up 3 or 4 of the new seats. Electors though the dems can only lose. …

The doomsday clock moved closer to midnight recently. We backed out of the Iran deal. We backed out of the Paris accords. We are locking up kids away from their parents who are just applying for asylum. Our taxes are going up so corporations can get a tax cut (mine personally will go up more then $2000). We’ve…

Why would we want to split up our 55 electoral votes... OH, I see. The GOP wants some of the votes that typically go for democratic candidates. The only way this could remotely work is if we had a constitutional amendment to get rid of the electoral college. California is doing just fine as it is. This won’t pass. …

“It did not string the lines, upgrade switches, wire homes, create hardware, etc . . .”

That was before the government broke up the phone company creating competition. Regulation working for you. How soon we forget history.

The US government built the internet. Then, through legislation written by Al Gore, it was given to the people for a free exchange of information and commerce. Also, the major providers of the video content weren’t the ones using all the bandwidth. The ISPs customers were. They just wanted to charge for the data…

Exactly. Which is why NN is important. Otherwise the government (ie. we the people) is just s spectator. We need to be a referee. The FTC has no teeth. The internet should be regulated like a utility because that is what it is. Regulation is usually a good thing. Sure sometimes it can slow a businesses…
