"any institution with an endowment as large as Harvard's isn't a school, it's a hedge fund that offers classes, and should lose it's tax exempt status"... Sorry I forget who said it, and I'm paraphrasing
I'll look myself, but any chance you've found any research with numbers for these groups? Are there more progressives and young people deciding between show up or not show up, or more centrists deciding between Biden and Trump?
You're correct, pedophilia is a mental illness. A very tragic one since there is no hope and no cure. They can't even ask for help because everyone will automatically assume they are also child molesters. Which is what you're describing, but not all child molesters are pedophiles, and most pedophiles will never become child molesters... Like you said, some people just get off on exploiting the power dynamic and aren't necessarily sexually attracted to children. Those people are the real danger.
Assuming that's correct; instead of pretending they'll somehow magically all start understanding the "Trump threat" in the next 6 months, maybe Biden and the Dems should start actually giving them what they want. It's not even a big ask. Just don't do genocide. And definitely don't do genocide and then say it's not actual genocide. No one gives a fuck what you call it. Anyone with a conscience can see it's wrong.
Anything short of giving young people whatever it takes to get them to show up for Biden is basically supporting Trump for president.
Okay but seriously who's out there, wringing their hands, trying to figure out if they'll vote Trump or Biden? No one. If you're voting for Trump, there is absolutely nothing Biden (or Trump for that matter) could do to change your mind. All those centrist neolibs in the swing states are going to vote for Biden regardless, because there's no one else for them to vote for. The true "undecided voters" are undecided between showing up and just not showing up. And shit like this just pushes them closer to the not showing up position. Every time Biden panders to his already locked in centrist base, instead of trying to get progressives to show up for him, it should be considered a willful attempt to get Trump elected.
They've already taken every dime we'll make, plus every dime our children and grandchildren will make... That's what the trillions of dollars in debt is.
Maybe we just need a mental competency exam of some kind... Like, I think Bernie is still thinking pretty clearly, but Trump, Boebert and Greene? Literally mentally ill... And not just to pick on Republicans; Biden is clearly senile, Clinton is clearly a sociopath
The reason the government is garbage is because most of them are working for the corporations. If we heavily regulated the corporations and made it so they couldn't interfere with politics, the government would be better... They'd actually be working for the people and our interests, like they're supposed to
The problem isn't government, it's corporate control of the government
Privatizing things will always cost more because then you need to account for profits as well. Publicly controlled=x cost, privately controlled=x costs+profit for the rich
Even the most corrupt government employee is only getting a pay check (no profits). They make their corruption money by colluding with corporations and rich people
93% of stocks are owned by just 10% of people... They own all the companies, and are diversified... They aren't really competing with each other in any meaningful way
The official 9/11 conspiracy theory... Literally would need to change the laws of physics for it to be true
