The current DNC is waaay too weak and uninterested in pushing back against Trump for this to realistically happen. They are complete enablers of this slow fascist takeover. Your only hope now is for the democrats to experience a "tea p

Nah, he's swung back and forth on Ukraine at least 4 times now. Russia certainly did help Trump get the White House, what with the propaganda and all, as they correctly foresaw how terrible he would be for the American Empire. But he d

Democrats refuse to vote the budget because the GOP removed almost all healthcare funding from it and won't compromise on that. If this budget passes as is, millions will die of preventable diseases. How is it on democrats?

If you take climate change externalities into account, it just might be. Sure, your chocolate might be a bit more expensive, but at least your descendants will have some chocolate at all.

How I wish we could cut these reactionary fossils from our tax money. It is nonsensical, and should no longer exist. They are tasked with maintaining an "official" dictionary, but have only published 9 editions so far, in over 300

Sure, the rich will all leave Effing New York City after Mamdani raises taxes by 2% (matching New Jersey's). Don't be ridiculous. This rhetoric of "they'll just leave" is incredibly damaging, this is how we get to

I don't think so. Americans want populism, doesn't really matter who provides. If you can focus the people's hate away from minorities and unto billionaires before it is too late, you might just save your democracy.

I disagree, wealth inequality is an intrinsic bad. Just look at the power wielded by the likes of Musk, Ellison, Thiel... They are able to bend the rules in a way that negatively impacts the general population's material conditions,

Death is often called the great equalizer. By reducing/nullifying inheritance taxes you ensure wealth concentration will escape it, and aggravate the issue. We already live in a country (world, really) where more income is gained throu

Pardon the internet lingo, but this is cope. Americans pay way more for their healthcare than citizens of countries with universal healthcare, like France, and their life expectancy is still lower. So clearly, it is better elsewhere. Don&

You can read their arguments on the discussion page; don't act like this is just an appeal to authority.

So their only reasonable plan is to capture a significant portion of the global economy through a tech that we have currently no idea how to build? Seems a little dodgy, to say the least. I would personally consider it well in "bonke

I am yet to hear of a single republican even just acknowledging that Trump ever lied. They're that deep in the cult. So yes, I think it's still important to speak about these things publicly, even just as a litmus test, if not any

As far as I'm concerned, transportation is solved. I live in Paris, there are 14 (soon to be 15) metro lines covering the city in a dense underground mesh, and you never have to wait more the 5 minutes to hop into one.

As history has shown, America is perfectly fine with dictatorships in South America, they've even installed several of them, like Pinochet's. Maduro is the wrong kind of South American dictator, i.e. one that doesn't bend the
