Thank you for this... Excellent work

I expect libs to be respectful and accommodating to the left... And come out swinging against the right... What irritates me is when the libs take the left for granted and continuously move right on issues to try and scrape more shit off Trump's boots

She could say that she'll demand Israel stop the genocide on day 1, and immediately stop sending them the means to carry it out... I bet her polling numbers would jump significantly among young people... There's plenty of other things she could also say she'll come out the gates swinging for, like single payer healthcare, paying for all education and cancelling student debt, tax the shit out of the rich, etc and say the Dems will primary any Dem who doesn't get on board ASAP

Yeah I paraphrased, sorry... But I think I got the gist https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5127583/vice-president-harris-protesters-im-speaking

Edit: not sure why the link isn't showing for me... Trying to move it, hopefully it'll work

You're putting words in my mouth... They are doing plenty of things. Young people are just idealistic, and see themselves as having plenty of time to correct mistakes

Those millions of people weren't eligible to vote in 2010, a lot weren't in 2016 too... The new generations are just coming into the height of their voting power, but instead of asking them what they want in their elected officials, the idiot libs keep asking the Republicans instead

Haven't heard her say anything about the genocide except "shut up about it, I'm talking"

They aren't going to pick up any votes from people who were going to vote for Trump... If they didn't get it by now, they aren't magically going to get it this week... Meanwhile she's alienating millions of young/progressive people who she could have gotten to vote for her by... (Checks notes) Not supporting genocide

"The war to end war" (also "The war to end all wars";[1] originally from the 1914 book The War That Will End War by H. G. Wells) is a term for the First World War of 1914–1918. Originally an idealistic slogan, it is now mainly used sardonically,[2] since not only was the First World War not history's final war, but its aftermath also indirectly contributed to the outbreak of the even more devastating Second World War.

The war to end all wars!

That's correct

Well I'd hope those other places would follow suit. But also, the free market would still allow others to fill the shoes of the companies that left. And whether a company pays a worker who then pays taxes, or whether we cut out the middleman and the company just pays the taxes directly, it's the same amount leaving the company. But also, if corporations actually had to pay taxes maybe they'd start pushing on each other to stop gouging the government.

Someone will fill their shoes... That's the beauty of the free market

They'd still be profitable... At the end of the day the workers create the wealth. All we'd be doing is putting that wealth towards what we collectively agree on before anyone can take it as profit. But, there'd still be profit left over.

If they want to sell their shit in the US they have to let us audit them everywhere and tax accordingly

It's just an extra step... Everyone gets a paycheck from a corporation of some kind... Instead of hundreds of millions to deal with, the IRS could just focus on the companies

Better yet, end all taxes on individuals. Instead, all taxes should be levied against corporations, and they should cover the entire bill for a functioning society... And society should democratically decide what that entails. Tax the corporations so much that their stock prices fall back to realistic numbers. Then we won't have any of these fake billionaires who's "wealth is tied up in stocks", but also they can get loans against them. It should be very easy to get "rich" by working yourself, it should be very hard to get rich "letting your money work for you"

That's true, but where boomers are pig headed about it because they don't want to have admit younger people know more than them, I think millennials and zoomers would be much more willing to accept expert advice

So when are we starting the investigation into Ted Cruz breaking campaign finance laws? Because I believe this is him admitting he's doing that
