BUT these Billionaires CARE about Us! THATS why they're FORCING us to Invest ALL OUR RETIREMENT into Their Companies so they can be Trillionaires!
But you can't shop lift! Think about the employees and small business people who will suffer!
We need term limits in Congress.
No. 40 years ago we needed term limits in congress. An ounce of prevention on time is worth a shipping container of 7.68 when the problem has gotten stupid.
The best time to plant a tree, and all that...
7.62 ?
I could swear that's what I typed. Or I've been playing a video game with different numbers? Who's to say.
You need a lot more than that, American
And probably needed more than one little law 40 years ago. I stand by my approximate ratio.
Hey, now. Susan Collins is very concerned about all the billionaire money in politics. Very concerned. Almost very, very concerned. Right on the edge.
She's not happy about it, but in the end, after wrestling with her conscience, she will take their money, but she's not happy about it, and she'll do whatever they tell her to do, but she's not happy about it.
She must be a very unhappy woman.
Those pearls don't clutch themselves.
To them, losing the "progressives can't win purple states" narrative would be a catastrophe.
Not only can progressives win in purple states, I bet they can win in these supposedly "red" states that have been abandoned by the Dems in recent years. Progressive takeover of the Democratic Party needs to happen ASAP.
I agree. I don't think the actual silent majority thinks "that guy's too far right" or "that lady's too far left," they ask "which one's gonna help with my problems?"
People in those red states will never vote for anyone with a 'D' next to their name, no matter how much they agree with them.
Let's interview everyone that has a grudge with Susan Collins.
No? We can only interview every ex girlfriend, guy that's willing to say something negative, and Republican friend of a friend that knows the grassroots guy. Huh, I wonder why.
In 1936, Roosevelt was elected despite millionaires pouring money into Hoover's campaign.
Voting is important.
If it wasn't, they wouldn't make it so hard to vote or try to stop you. It unfortunately isn't very effective when people are complacent. But when people are pissed, even stacked decks and rigging won't hold ultimately.
The algorithm is simple. Watch who the billionaires back, then vote for the other option.
When that health care CEO was executed, his company, and all the other health care companies temporarily eased up on their denials, and thousands of people got treatment who were previously denied. I've read of people who were going to die, until they suddenly got approved following the murder.
Of course, they've gone back to business as usual, but that only demonstrates that we have to execute another CEO every few months. Maybe be strategic about it, and spread it around in different industries until they get their shit together.
First handle a few health care guys until they clean it up, and stay there. Then maybe oil companies CEOs are next. Maybe pharmaceutical companies.
Eventually, maybe we execute enough, that the business world decides to adopt a more moral stance towards money, one where they can still get rich, without being such shitheads that they eventually get set on fire in front of their families.
"But we need someone electable, someone both sides like!"
Yeah no, the "both sides" these people are referring to is the defensive and offensive wing of the same group.
Planter was the only candidate whose website had the word "genocide" so he got my vote
