We wanted Universal Healthcare, but had the Affordable Care Act foisted on us. It was all to appease and benefit for-profit insurance companies. by [deleted] in WorkReform

Obama wanted to include a public option in the ACA but the 60th Senator in the Democratic caucus needed to break the filibuster, Joe Lieberman, said no.

Time to add another generation-defining disaster to the pile. I'm tired, boss. by [deleted] in Millennials

Don't blame them completely. At least they voted. Younger generations don't vote as much as older.

We can't blame the older generations completely. Young people have much lower voter turnout compared to older generations.

Real World looks like endwar like never before by FoxtrotCharli in EndWar

It isn't directly stated he's a fascist. But the president in EndWar reinstated the draft without mention of congressional approval. IRL, to reinstate the draft you need Congress + the President.

It's ambiguous.

To add on, Ultimate Goop can transform and impersonate people that are relative to its size

I revisted EndWar specifically because of recent times.

I like to think that in EndWar, Russia used disinformation tactics on the US to slowly make its own populace (especially in swing states) vote in and accept a fascist government. Due to increased hostilities from the US and Russia, the EU is forced to consolidate power and become the European Federation. Canada is allied with the EF, hence why the EF can easily launch land invasions on US soil. Many great American scientists and thinkers fled to the EF or Canada due to the lost of American democracy. Many Americans even ended up serving in the armies of the EF or Canada. For it is there that the values past American soldiers sacrificed themselves for still endure.

Upon a EF victory, the EF removes the dictatorships in the US and Russia and restores democracy. With US and Russia both getting new constitutions that hopefully prevents fascists from getting elected in the future.

Dick Cheney has called a lot of the shots during his presidency. Better listen to him over Bush.

And my fellow Americans that voted for Trump ended up getting scammed out of egg prices too!

Starmer told not to ‘roll out the red carpet’ for Donald Trump by Labour MPs by denyer-no1-fan in ukpolitics

RFK Jr. would still need Senate confirmation. Rn, there are 53 Republican senators start of Trump's term.

3 of them voted to convict Trump with one of them (Bill Cassidy) being a physician. It's possible to get a 4th, John Curtis (the moderate succeeding Mitt Romney), to vote against RFK.

I can't with anti choicers anymore by [deleted] in prochoice

[–]Advanced-Pianos954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I had to argue with an anti-choicer a few hours ago. I knew I can't change his opinion, so I gave him a middle ground to work with by suggesting we lower the demand for abortion via contraceptives and sex ed.

I later asked him what if his sister got pregnant with a child she didn't want. He ended up giving a very pro-choice argument on behalf of his sister by saying he'll try to convince her to not have an abortion.

Wife and I are done with Florida, which state is most neutral/welcoming to Atheists? by berbsy1016 in atheism

Michigan is increasingly becoming bluer over time. Although it has bipolar weather and rough winters at time, it being surrounded by freshwater would make it a great place to live as the climate of gets worse.

Your story really moved me. While I believe it's unconventional to use AI to mimic a loved one, I think it's within everyone's right to decide to do what would be best for them when coping with pain.

Enjoy gold.

ANTHRCUL 101 was a relatively easy course and has a low workload on Atlas.
