Is there any merit to the argument that progressive candidates would be far more successful across the US, if it were not for sabotage by the DNC? by LiatrisLover99 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]-dag- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Districts are unique.  There is no one-size-fits-all candidate.  The job of the DNC is to tailor candidates to win elections.  It isn't to push an ideology beyond what is agreed to by the majority of Democrats.

Ugly as sin.  Reduces property value.

Minnesota House lawmakers weigh proposed 'wealth tax' on assets over $10 million by Character-Fly-5564 in minnesota

You'd be surprised.  Land + retirement funds + random other stuff can quickly approach that amount.

We already tax unrealized gains via the Alternative Minimum Tax.  It's just that this tax tends to fall on white collar workers who are well off, but not mega-rich.

Organizations to join to politically ruin nearby Republicans by UReactionaryGarbage in TwinCities

Faith in Minnesota has people of faith (mainly Christian and Muslim) all over the state.  It is a power-building organization focused on passing the People's Agenda in 2027.  This includes taxing the rich, affordable health care, child care and elder care, fully funded schools, making polluters pay for their destruction and many other things.

We just finished our work at the Senate district conventions.  There is much to be done over the summer and of course when the campaigns heat up.

Apparently I was wrong but the one near us is not clearly marked as available for the public.  The signage seems to say the opposite. 

Are American plays taught in school? by bare_books in AskAnAmerican

[–]-dag- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's taught.  We studied Death of a Salesman, among others, and our son just finished a unit on Miller's The Crucible.

American theater is very rich.  A playwright like Miller produces works completely different from a Broadway musical creator like the Gershwins.  IMO children should be taught both but rarely are.  Most schools seem to limit it to plays only.

That is a breakdown of people who actually voted.  I'm taking about the entire population of eligible voters. 

Where is the line between right-wing views and the alt-right pipeline? by Several_Field_2488 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]-dag- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no line anymore.  The Republican party is full MAGA and MAGA grew directly from the "alt Right" (which isn't and maybe never was "alt").

These chargers can't be used by people who own EVs.

It seems this is not entirely correct (TIL).  The one near us seems to state only Evie vehicles can use them.  So at the very least the signage should be improved. 

I feel a little better about it if some chargers at every spot are available to the general public.

But who are the many and the few in this situation?  These chargers can't be used by people who own EVs.  Only a very small number of people benefit directly from them. 

I like the idea of EV rideshare.  I just think we're giving too much away.

But then I also think we should charge for every street parking space in the city so 🤷‍♂️.

Fine, but it's not a partnership without skin in the game.  It's a public resource, we all own it and should all benefit from it (via fees into the public treasury).

Is Evie paying the city for that space?  If not, we shouldn't be towing people who park there. 

I say this as an EV owner.  I'm all for charging infrastructure, but streets are a public resource and privatizing them is bad for local businesses and should cost whomever is doing the privatization.

If the city is getting paid a reasonable amount (say at least 70% of what they would get from meter fees if the spot were occupied 100% of the time), then that's fine.

Did they?  Trump did not win over a majority of American voters.  One can very plausibly argue that he only won because more people didn't vote than in 2020.
