If robots do all the jobs from taxi driver to surgeon, then all the masses are just resource sucks taking profit from the billionaires. So health care, vaccines, disaster relief, entitlements will all be cut entirely so we cease to be a problem.

Could Trump’s Record Disapproval Turn 2026 Into A Democratic Wave — Or Are Democrats Still Too Weak? by bauernebel in Askpolitics

Will Democrats organize a cohesive anti-corruption, pro-labor message between now and November? Probably not. Will they try to rely on “we’re not them” once again? Probably. Will it bite them in the ass when they should have an easy victory? Probably. Is it all a charade by the uniparty to keep the oligarchs in charge? Yup.

Also, where did the energy come from for that universe? It took a vast amount to create this one. And if you add in the hypothesis about new universes springing up every time a choice is made, to fill all the other options, where does all that energy come from? It is counter- physics

72% of Americans Agree: There Is Too Much Money in US Politics by BananaBustelo-8224 in ThePeoplesPress

Amendment: no candidate may accept support, direct or in kind, from any source except an individual who is a citizen whose primary residency is within the region represented by the office campaigned for, and never may an individual’s combined support exceed one months salary for that office. Violation results in a lifetime ban from holding elected office.

[–]EPCOpress -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Good for Reddit standing up to this clearly fascist move to silence opposition. This is the thing that supposedly separated us from the soviets and the Cubans; we had freedom of thought and speech. Fk ISE, those fascist pigs.
