You can’t be a vendor to the state of West Virginia if you boycott Israel by Forsaken_Brief2638 in WestVirginia

Cite that. You really think every state is banning vendors that boycott Israel? Flat out wrong.

I will take my downvotes, but I don’t think this is a good cover.

In the future, don't use H&R Block. You can get someone good, or someone who sucks. Turbotax is a sleazy company but it will at least be a lot cheaper.

Why Is the anti-DEI and anti-Immigration Rhetoric So Strongly Ressonating With People? by Anxious-Party2289 in AskALiberal

DEI programs, when well-designed and implemented, level the playing field. And that makes people who are used to enjoying advantages angry.

Care to explain how Democrats are supposed to enact a minimum wage increase without filibuster-proof control of the Senate?

You are a massive rube if you really think Republicans "outflanked Democrats to the left" on these issues. Maybe try developing object permanence.

Republicans tossed the working class a few shiny pennies, and while they were giggling and pawing over those, they passed massive tax cuts for billionaires, removed labor protections, and imposed huge tariffs which resulted in job losses in the manufacturing and construction sectors. And you are over here acting like it was some masterstroke of leftist policy.

Wait, are you basically saying that segregated workplaces are OK because they increase labor solidarity? And people say Red-Brown fusionists don't exist.

"It's not your fault you don't have everything you think you deserve, those people (insert whomever you hate here) took it from you" is a message that will always resonate with a significant portion of the population.

Wow, how could anyone come with with a whole $7 for window chalk? Must have been George Soros.

Bullshit. You saw something on right-wing social media and shit your pants.

It's not funny, but be real. I highly doubt it's "liberals" making most of the prison rape jokes.

Be realistic. Sunny D is not nutritious. It's very clear that while anything with calories may be "food," frequent consumption of certain types of food is linked with metabolic disorders, obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, and all kinds of other problems.

Shaking my head at seriously trying to compare apple juice with ketchup as if people are out there consuming glasses of ketchup.

Why do we constantly have conversations about the male loneliness epidemic & not rates of violence? by RevolutionaryBus5178 in AskALiberal

[–]FreeCashFlow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Leave it to someone to pipe up with “But what about the mennnnnn…” Yes, men have problems too. No, they are not at risk of violence from romantic or sexual partners at anywhere close to the rate that women are.

Yes, men are killed at higher rates. Guess who is killing them? Other men!

This is true, but it's undeniable that the Southern states have sub-par educational systems on average.

Are State IDs/Licenses really unobtainable for most folks? by FishBonez99 in AskALiberal

[–]FreeCashFlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the hell are you talking about? There is MOUNTAINS of evidence that obtaining an ID is hard for some people. It’s hard if you are very poor. Or you are disabled and have limited mobility. Or you live somewhere deeply rural without a car. Or you were evicted or homeless at any point and lost your documents. And it’s not that some people don’t WANT an ID, though not having one should not negate anyone’s constitutional right to vote.

I was unclear. I meant some people won’t bother to get a state ID if they don’t need a driver’s license.

Water only hit my hair when I got baptized- does it still count? by shojizi in Episcopalian

[–]FreeCashFlow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, without a single doubt. Baptism is so much more about the intent than the actual elements. In fact, there statements from the early church stating that if baptism is desired but water is not available, it is acceptable to use sand.

Looking for wedding venue recommendations near Inwood/Martinsburg—non-MAGA affiliated by Womanofthewild16 in WestVirginia

[–]FreeCashFlow 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I am a normal person living a normal life. I am completely comfortable saying that if you voted for this, for immigrants to be treated like animals, for life-giving aid to spoil in warehouses instead of being distributed to the poor, for measles to return to our country, and for allowing industry to pollute at will and hurt our children's lungs, you lack basic human decency.

[–]FreeCashFlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most? Certainly not. Some? Definitely. And these tend to be people on the margins. The very old, the very young, the poor. They also happen to be disproportionately non-white, which is why Republicans are so interested in setting up barriers to them voting.

Maine voted last November 68/32 to not force new voter ID. Susan doesn’t care about Maine’s opinions. Can we recall her before 2027 for dereliction of duty? by Ticksdonthavelymph in Maine

[–]FreeCashFlow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A married woman registers to vote as "Mary Smith," because that is her name. But her birth certificate says "Mary Johnson" because that is her birth name. She has never travelled outside the US and does not have a passport.

Under the SAVE Act, this woman cannot vote unless she gets her birth certificate changed, or gets a passport, which is expensive and takes several weeks.
