both sides are the same
after a fiery start she is now showing she will be the same as the rest of the government
got a immigration problem just lock em' up solve all the problems including kids
last thing we need to unify the country is Trump or a Border Patrol Prosecutor as the label in the ad puts it
her running mate comes out as more progressive
if enough people put in enough vote to a third party then it would become a viable party
the democrats hold a carrot to their voters every election halting any form of progress
every election we get either the Republicans actively against the people or we get the Baby Steps Party that is full of enough empty promises to keep people on the treadmill
forgot apologize
the Democrats are the Baby Steps Party
ready for adults steps at this point
why should any of us have to wait until our deathbeds to see progress
her saying that does not translate to Harris or the Democrats truly understanding the plight of the US worker
the actual people making sure the country is still in operation the workers who are always forgotten by the time shareholders are paid and elections results are counted
between Harris saying she knows what it is like to struggle to telling protesters to shut up she is not becoming who thought she was at the beginning of all this
Harris advertised as some hero of the people when she first announced she was in the race and with her VP pick thought that would really seal the deal for us
but here we go again
Now, the Democratic presidential candidate’s campaign is nodding to her summer job to highlight her upbringing and a platform to boost American workers that stands in stark contrast to her Republican rival Donald Trump, who “has no plan to help the middle class — just more tax cuts for billionaires,” according to a recent ad.
neither do you or your party
some of do not have the luxury of working McDonald's as a summer job to learn values
for some it is a fulltime job that will not pay all the bills including food and will have the workers overworked and underpaid and underappreciated and sick from lack of healthcare
get the fuck out of here saying you know what it is like to struggle Kamala
doubt she ever went to bed hungry
if the Democrats truly understood the minimum wage would be $20 or more and we would have had universal healthcare because they would have fought tooth claw and nail for the people to have it despite Republican oppositions
rescheduling just overregulates the cannabis industry out of business with unneeded legislation while lacking legislation that is needed and allows shoddy products and big megacorp products to be the only ones available
see nicotine vaping for what that looks like
Obama, Trump, and Biden have all supported the mess we are in now with banning everything instead of properly regulating products
but at least the kids are safe
it is and they do have a list of targets they are after especially on the borders of states and yes being overly tan like people get in the summer will get you pulled on suspicion of being of Mexican descent
drive with your windows up and arms inside your vehicle when in the US and obey the speed limits and always use turn signals even when merging from a lane that is ending
some states go further and have no bail which lets the arrested person go same day if they are nonviolent until charges are brought up and then a pay for lawyer delivers the court date with your charges usually in the mail in the form of a spammy advertisement looking piece of mail
just like voting the justice system here in the US is a sham ran by kangaroos
Kamala Harris has joked about experimenting with marijuana and—unlike another famous Democrat—admitted to a truly shocking act: inhaling.
the fact she was allowed to get this far after admitting she has had her consciousness altered while consuming cannabis when others have had their entire lives ruined for the same thing is a big fuck you to the US people
rules for thee definitely apply here
what about letting others who have experimented get ahead for once
there are people not allowed to vote over this and this should be an automatic campaign promise
Biden could have executive ordered cannabis reform/ legalization and Harris could have been pushing him to do so but no four years later and just like Obama nothing
Clinton and California legalizing medical cannabis happened decades ago and if any of our leaders were serious about listening to the citizens they would have already
perfectly legal stops because they could be considered terry stops which require no probable cause and once they have you on the side of the road they can make up whatever charges they want for an arrest
only way for this to be fixed is police reform
yes because we arrest too many people especially a lot of poor and disabled people in the US
go to a court room one day looks like a third world country's disparaged population waiting in line awful place to be
underneath that sweet layer of icing the US puts on top is a moldy rotten cake
readers being sent back in time is supposed to be the writers' job
Political positions
Cannabis
Walz advocated for the legalization of recreational cannabis as governor of Minnesota.[74][75][76] As a candidate for governor in 2017, he said: "We have an opportunity in Minnesota to replace the current failed policy with one that creates tax revenue, grows jobs, builds opportunities for Minnesotans, protects Minnesota kids, and trusts adults to make personal decisions based on their personal freedoms."[77] In 2022, he proposed the creation of a Cannabis Management Office to develop and implement the "regulatory framework for adult-use cannabis" in Minnesota.[78][79] On May 30, 2023, he signed into law House File 100 to legalize recreational cannabis in Minnesota, which went into effect on August 1, 2023.[80][81]
Economic issues
During the economic crisis in 2008, Walz repeatedly spoke out against using taxpayer money to bail out financial institutions; in late September, he voted against the $700 billion TARP bill, which purchased troubled assets from these institutions.[82] Walz released a statement after the bill's passage, saying, "The bill we voted on today passes the buck when it comes to recouping the losses taxpayers might suffer. I also regret that this bill does not do enough to help average homeowners, or provide sufficient oversight of Wall Street."[83] For the same reasons, in December 2008, he voted against the bill that offered $14 billion in government loans to bail out the country's large automobile manufacturers.[84] In June 2009 Walz introduced a bipartisan resolution calling on the federal government to "relinquish its temporary ownership interests in the General Motors Company and the Chrysler Group, LLC, as soon as possible" and stated that the government must not be involved in those companies' management decisions.[85]
Despite his votes against bailout bills that loaned taxpayer money to large banks and auto manufacturers, Walz did vote with his Democratic colleagues to support the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. As a member of the House Transportation Committee, Walz saw the stimulus bill as an opportunity to work "with his congressional colleagues to make job creation through investment in public infrastructure like roads, bridges and clean energy the cornerstone of the economic recovery plan".[86] Walz has focused heavily on job and economic issues important to his southern Minnesota district, which has a mix of larger employers like the Mayo Clinic along with small businesses and agricultural interests. In July 2009, he voted for the Enhancing Small Business Research and Innovation Act, which he described as "part of our long-term economic blueprint to spur job creation by encouraging America's entrepreneurs to innovate toward breakthrough technological advancements".[87][88] Walz also urged assistance for hog and dairy farmers who struggled with lower prices for their commodities in 2008 and 2009.[89]
Education
Walz was a public school teacher for 20 years. He opposes using merit pay for teachers.[90] Voting in favor of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Walz pointed to its strong provisions in support of public school buildings.[91][92] He is on record supporting legislation to lower tuition costs.[93] In a February 12, 2009 speech, he said that the most important thing to do "to ensure a solid base for [America's] economic future … is to provide the best education possible for [American] children."[94] Walz has received strong backing for these policies from many interest groups, including the National Education Association, the American Association of University Women and the National Association of Elementary School Principals.[95]
Guns
While in Congress, Walz was a strong supporter of gun rights and was endorsed by the NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) multiple times, receiving an A grade from the organization.[96][97] Following the Parkland high school shooting in 2018, he denounced the NRA in a Star Tribune opinion piece, and announced that he would donate the equivalent of all of the campaign contributions the NRA-PVF had given him—$18,000—to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.[98] As governor, Walz expressed support for gun regulation.[99] In 2023, he signed into law a public safety bill that establishes universal background checks and red-flag laws in Minnesota.[100]
LGBT rights
Walz supports LGBTQ rights, including federal anti-discrimination laws on the basis of sexual orientation.[90] In a 2009 speech, he called for an end to the Don't ask, don't tell policy. Walz voted in favor of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act and the Sexual Orientation Employment Nondiscrimination Act. In 2007, he received a 90% grade from the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest LGBT rights organization.[42] In 2011, Walz announced his support for the Respect for Marriage Act.[101] As governor, Walz has signed a number of bills that support the LGBTQ community. In 2023, he signed a bill that banned the practice of conversion therapy and another that protected gender-affirming care in Minnesota.[102]
Israel–Hamas war
Walz condemned Hamas's October 7 attacks in Israel and ordered flags to be lowered to half mast in the following days. After the 2024 Minnesota Democratic presidential primary, in which 19% of voters cast "uncommitted" ballots, Walz took a sympathetic view toward those doing so to protest President Biden's handling of the war in Gaza, calling them "civically engaged".
Of the protests against U.S. funding of the war in Gaza, Walz said: "This issue is a humanitarian crisis. They have every right to be heard... These folks are asking for a change in course, they're asking for more pressure to be put on… You can hold competing things: that Israel has the right to defend itself, and the atrocities of October 7 are unacceptable, but Palestinian civilians being caught in this… has got to end." Walz also said he supports a ceasefire in Gaza.[103]
Veterans' issues
Having served 24 years in the Army National Guard, as a freshman in Congress Walz was given a rare third committee membership when he was assigned to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.[104] Walz has championed enhanced veterans benefits since taking office in 2007. In May of that year, the House unanimously passed his "Traumatic Brain Injuries Center Act" to set up five centers around the nation to study traumatic brain injuries and develop improved models for caring for veterans suffering from such injuries.[105]
Walz also supported the GI Bill of 2008, which expanded education benefits for veterans and in some cases allowed them to transfer education benefits to family members.[106] In 2009, Walz gave the keynote address at the American Legion National Convention in Louisville. He spoke about the need for the VA and Department of Defense to work together to make sure that returning service men and women "do not fall through the cracks when they transition to civilian life".[107]
Walz was the lead House sponsor of the Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act, which directs the Veterans Administration to report on veteran mental health care and suicide prevention programs. It also gives the VA permission to provide incentives to psychiatrists who agree to join the VA medical system.[108]
Women's issues
Walz supports abortion rights,[90] and has a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood.[42] The National Right to Life Committee gave him a rating of zero.[42] In early 2009, Walz voted for the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.[109]
if you overclock that ram 5200mhz is the top that cpu supports if that helps
each cpu supports different max ram speed
nice build
what do you call it when both parties are for locking up kids at the border just for one example
or what do call it when both parties support over funding the police without more regulations and oversight
there are numerous examples
just because the two parties have different vehicles their destination for the people is the same
thank you my point exactly
case in point is the mail why wouldn't a mail carrier be votable to congress or senate or president or any government position
not only would the expertise come in to play but people would finally see something like participating in government a reality like running for offices for themselves or just voting
would break the traditional rule of the US and shatter the elites' power
US politics is toxic because it is divisive
two parties have hijacked our elections and created football politics that pit one side against the other
should be different voices with multiple different representators in government just like the voters if all were allowed to vote
Democrats too though instead of outright denial in words it is said in the antiquated politics they push
