  • Ok but how many people in the whole US agree with you enough that you'd call them an ally? 2% .2%? Your plan is to enact change with 99.8% of everyone on the other side of you? The movement requires liberals and centrists to change their minds.

  • My guy I agree with you that trans lives matter more than money, but this is not how to convince people to join our side. Like absolutely this countries priorities are absolutely fucked, but opening with "fuck your money" is only gonna get assholes to dig in their heels

    • Has anybody here actually succeeded in getting an online conservative/right-winger to reflect and legitimately and long term shift their views left?

  • I was raised super conservative, and the two biggest steps on my journey to the left were Jon Stewart Bernie Sanders

    Jon got my attention by pointing out the hypocrisy that did in fact exist on both sides. It gave me a space to exist where I wasn't just called a wrong dumb redneck and dismissed, but felt like he was actually trying to meet me where I was. That allowed me to let my guard down and actually listen to what he was saying.

    Bernie Sanders came along in 2016 at a point where I would've called myself a centrist and basically did the same thing. Non judgmentally gave me a space to exist, listed some topics I cared about, then gave me a cause for them.

    People don't like being told they're wrong. You cannot debate someone out of believing what they believe. What you can do is ask them questions. Get them to consider why they believe what they believe, and eventually they may start seeing contradictions and change their mind on their own.

  • Wachovia was a smaller bank that got bought out by Wells Fargo, iirc it was during the 2008 recession

    Open Source Gig Service apps?

    Deposits should be held by the city. The landlord should be forced to prove they deserve it in a court of law.

  • Realistically the viewing could be replaced by the landlord taking a series of before and after photographs that are approved by the tenant. A $2000 deposit held in just a CD would generate $100 in a year, which is enough to cover a good bit of any random additional costs
