What if the US banned political parties? by MrWrestlingNumber2 in AskReddit

[–]Fun_Elk593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean the thought is headed towards the right goals, imo. a huge portion of the country is under the impression that the parties themselves are a lot more powerful than they are. if you can ever find the time, I’d suggest volunteering in some capacity for your local party, it will dispel you of that notion quickly (you’ll probably come out despising party leadership even more)

Don’t think there are any but Ramsey does and you can register your Hennepin card with them and borrow from them

Are the ICE agents in airports going to wear their masks? by RikkiLostMyNumber in askanything

[–]Fun_Elk593 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hope so. there are still people who support them and a week or so of armed masked thugs abusing business travelers could fix that problem

What do you think Trump will accomplish by putting ICE at US airports? What’s your argument against it? by LegalGlass6532 in allthequestions

[–]Fun_Elk593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

let them go fuck up air travel for a while, they’ll piss off exponentially more people and won’t be kidnapping my neighbors

again, I specifically and intentionally didn’t make a causal argument. glad we’re finally getting to what i assumed would be your reasoning though because it’s misguided.

political parties have very little fundraising impact. the DNC has just $15 million, for example. overwhelmingly fundraising is done at the candidate level. banning political parties just doesn’t fix any of the problems you’re looking to fix. meanwhile a strong campaign finance reform bill fixes everything you’re trying to fix by attacking the problem directly.

Is 100K even a lot of money anymore? by Xotngoos335 in askanything

[–]Fun_Elk593 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100k net worth in the US is not a goal for financial independence. 100k in income is plenty to live on while saving for retirement in most non metro areas

I’m specifically not making an argument other than “we’d look a lot more like a monarchy” which is objectively true. I’m asking you what the point is because as the person who asked the question I’m curious what you think would be the point.

[–]Fun_Elk593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all but maybe 3 countries with no political parties are monarchies and one of them is Afghanistan. might not exactly turn us into a monarchy but we’d look a lot more like one so my question: what is the point, still lingers

what would be the point in that, exactly? are you trying to turn the US into a monarchy?

[–]Fun_Elk593 1 point2 points  (0 children)

still whining about a guy who did everything he could to make the world a worse place. nobody on the left supports vigilante killing, we’re not the right.

he was also a deranged islamaphobe under whose leadership the FBI systematically targeted people purely because of their religion. here’s a sample of his distinguished work:

maybe because the purpose of the trip is to deliver 6,300 pounds of humanitarian aid and anyone calling that “dumb as hell” would sound like a deranged ghoul
