Yeah, I agree the tax needs to be visible in the price to be effective

Good argument for the price inclusive of tax to be the price shown.

I think it’s fairly uncommon for sales taxes in the US to be intended to incentivize behavior - moreso, they are for funding local government and higher taxes are placed on things that are politically palatable in local elections - hotel rooms or restaurant/alcohol sales come to mind.

So I just don’t think we’re well practiced at mechanisms that make them work as a point-of-sale incentive, and changing the way a single class of items are priced would be complicated and surely receive pushback from retailers and the industry involved.

I think it’s possible media’s attention to scandal has made you cynical.

Most politicians do not do shady, illegal shit. Most “elites” (do you mean billionaires?) do not torture and rape people. Most law enforcement officers are just trying to do their job.

My perspective is from the USA. I understand many other places internationally have a culture of corruption and naked power structures.

So, maybe a good question so answers can be in context is, where are you from?

Your argument, so you go first: Which widely popular policy is the Democratic Party not endorsing, and can you cite a measurement of how popular it is?

Let’s talk about the issue at hand. Do you think pulling support for Israel to appease 1-5% of the voter base would have no consequences when it comes to voters who want to support Israel?

A party that might get 1% of the vote represents a “wide swath of America” more than a party that gets >50% ?

Whooosshhhhh

How well has your party done though?

faze, not phase

vinyls

FYI it’s called a “record”, or music could be “on vinyl”. They were never referred to as “vinyls”.

Also VCRs were never called “VHS’s”

He does respect your right to vote for whoever you want though!

What are the specified offenses though?

reminder that they are hand counting ballots that the ballot marking machine printed out, instead having of the computerized polling system the Republican governor put in a few years ago to ensure accuracy count them.

Kamala Harris is not killing anyone, nor is she in charge of US foreign policy. She doesn’t have executive authority, and she’s not the secretary of state. Even then, Israel is waging the war, not the US.

The Muslim and Arab population in the US is also not all Palestinian. I would bet a small fraction are.

To people outside your bubble, this is exactly the kind of intentionally misrepresented and extreme rhetoric that makes it seem like you and your cohorts are either stupid or working for a Trump win.

Because that’s a vote for Trump in a swing state, not because “they’re angry you’re not a democrat”

What do you think is the best example of a socialist country?

And he pretty solidly endorsed Trump - while the Democratic candidate is literally running on taxing billionaires more.

no dude, the stakes are high and nobody wants Trump to win. it is a tense situation.

I am sure plenty of people would be happy to see you express your third-party vote if it doesn’t mean a swing state goes to Trump.

Ah yes, “both parties are the same”.

Except one embraces diversity, labor, a more progressive tax system, infrastructure spending, criminal justice reform, public education, public health insurance, food/income assistance, climate action, and the rule of law.
