  • I think Biden winning is the least possibility of change. Absolutely not the changes Ive listed, which are the fundamental issues specifically preventing progress on political issues.

  • Theyre non-profit, but they still spend money. The Southern Poverty Law Center i know does monetary lobbying, contributing to political campaigns. With good intentions sure, but id say theyre being forced to use a corrupt system to try and compete with the mustache twirling supervillains. Im defining lobbying as monetary value contributions to elected officials or candidates, thats the specifics of what i want outlawed. Actual legislation would be even more specific in scope.

    All of these meeting links include organization representation. Some of them even say you might only get to meet with a staffer. See if you can get a one on one meeting with your rep.

  • Youre thinking of the historical definition of lobbying, when citizens would wait in lobbies of legislatures to make their case to a legislator. Thats no longer what lobbying means in the US. Its actually a legally distinguished title, lobbyists are a paid position, generally lawyers or former legislators, representing large organizations, and facilitating giving politicians money or gifts to influence their votes. You can write to your congressman, you can call one of their secretaries voicemails, you can attend any town halls they might hold, but youre not a lobbyist and you cannot go have a personal meeting with your congressman like a lobbyist can.

    Im voting on these issues for all elections, not just president. But presidential support is pretty important for any legislation.

  • Alright since voting doesnt matter im gonna go ahead and vote for who i want

  • Like a diabetic munching on candy. "I shouldnt, but its what im doin"

  • Republicans or democrats. But yall will defend them and the two party system to the death

  • Lmao, just deal with it until things get better. When will things get better? Never!

  • Gee you know what would really help with that fucked up situation? Ranked choice voting.

  • Im not supporting this political system anymore. Im voting for whoever is promising ranked choice voting, overturning citizens united, outlawing lobbying, and outlawing all elected officials from investing.

  • Mario RPG was my favorite (yes Im eating good right now). I like describing it as a toy, there are so many things to be done for no other reason than to have fun, enabled by the fact you're a platformer character in a 3D fantasy world. You cant jump onto the store's counter in other RPG's of the time, but you get to in this game, and you're rewarded with being scolded by the shopkeep. You can jump on all the NPC's, on wedding cake, pianos, hyperactive kids, all the beds, catapults. Jumping is often times your response to NPC dialogue.

  • Cruises oughta be banned for how polluting they are. Rich folks can have em back when theyve cleaned up their climate mess.

  • OP comes in with a claim and all of his defenders refuse to do the barest minimum of proving it. Because all of you know it's bullshit.

  • you guys are lunatics thinking the corporate board has mandated a new policy of no more napkins. So now you get to go to taco bell and come back and tell me you were easily able to get some napkins.

  • it's about being overly entitled spoiled kids making life hell for food workers. A napkin dispenser wasnt filled fast enough and someone's got the fury of a righteous crusader against them now.
