Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This leads to the old "lead based voting system".
Oh, you mean the citizen's veto?
Third box reform, if you will.
Does anyone have tips for how to identify (and avoid) sites that use shopify?
I would like to "vote" for a system where businesses pay a minimum of 35% tax, no exceptions or deductions.
Because they want to run the company towns of the 2000s.
Is he trying to radicalize people? Damn, that's just comic book evil.
Most "nouveau rich" want to keep their wealth forever and will burn everything down to make it possible. The "I got mine!" is strong with this group. The "old money rich" will eventually extract that wealth from them over time because they are "players" and this is old hat to them.
I think most of us would be willing to try this if the more money you had, the further you are kept from politics.
Why? Because he's a "CEO". Capitalism, including surveillance capitalism, will not save us.
wouldn't matter. these dudes don't pay income tax anyways and Lutke is a fucking moron, always has been.
Remember kids, there's a reason you shouldn't use Ruby on Rails. Lutke is one half of the reason, DHH is the other.
To rob the poor of quality of life
Why is a big dick acting like a dick?
Reactions online split sharply.
Yeah, because most people are fucking stupid.
Yeah, because most people are fucking stupid
No. Most people on the internet are bot farms and shills paid to astroturf.
Both can be true.
You might be right, because I'm dumb enough to not know if I'm a bot according to many of these cloudflare verifications.
Checks box...spins.... Error, fuck it I didn't care that much anyways.
I have to use Zoom, Teams, Google meet, or Webex when talking with clients. The amount of captchas I've failed is unsettling.
LOL, why?
Because all of these assholes think they are just going to fuck off to Galt's Gulch or whatever.
because oligarchs and nazis go hand in hand
"Why did a $154 billion CEO just endorse stripping most Americans of voting rights—and taking us back to the 19th century?"
'Cause the ultra wealthy don't see the rest of us as being real people, and they should be (legally) killed.
Wild thing to say while living in a flammable house
brah can't maffs so he just avoided big numbers.
the better suggestion is "no voting rights for people that don't pay their fair share"
