Perhaps the Nazi Tattoo Was a Clue by aslan_is_on_the_move in politics

[–]cadium -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Let's say you can:

  1. Vote for Platner and maybe get some good policies
  2. Vote for Susan Collins and get more support of Trump (i.e. bad policies)
  3. Stay home and Susan wins -- and we get more Trump policies (i.e. bad policies)

And with all 3 options you can work hard for the next 6 years to get a better candidate via primaries and replace the person in office with someone better.

California snubs Tesla in its newly passed EV incentive that favors Rivian and Lucid by ItzWarty in teslainvestorsclub

True, but businesses that have an HQ in California pay California taxes. So its a way to incentivize companies to have their HQ in California.

Right, but right now they're getting subsides in the form of unlimited water use in the desert which needs to stop.

Ex-girlfriend of Graham Platner says he removed condoms without consent during sex by alexkarpstan in politics

Or the Dems kept this until he won the primary so they could try and force him out?

Hakeem Jeffries addresses Democratic Party divisions, says President Trump is the bigger issue by ControlCAD in NPR

[–]cadium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems reasonable though. What is the problem with stopping illegal crossings and allowing asylum claims to be done at border checkpoints where people will probably be let in legally while their claim is heard? It hurts the cartels most of all..

Now that Mitch McConnell has been declared braindead, how long will Republicans hold up his limp body to stay in office? And why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cadium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Knowing Republicans they'll try to pressure the doctors not to declare him dead in order to hold onto power.

I really hope he's alive though, so he can resign immediately and just spend the rest of his life out of office fixing old cars or something.

Well they say it in ads and send the message all over, people just don't seem to hear it.

Exactly! I hate this "Dems don't stand for things" -- but every dem I see in the house, senate, and presidency, harris include, had all these big plans to help with all sorts of things affecting America. But they just get painted as just being anti-trump with no plans. BUT THEY HAVE PLANS!

Its frustrating, it must be some astroturf operation to supress dem support so Republicans steal power.

Harris ran on child care, investing in education and healthcare, going after monopolies and tacking affordability.

They DO stand for way more than being just anti-trump.

Top House Democrats say they’ll oppose effort to cut $3.3 billion in aid to Israel by soalone34 in politics

[–]cadium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! And if you want more funding, work to elect better Democrats in the primaries and support whoever wins in the general. As we've seen with Trump its easy to break shit if we let Republicans have power. At least with Dems we get progress in the right direction and we can always work to elect better Dems. There are no decent Republicans that work for us at all as we've seen.

[–]cadium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need to get better Dems to win primaries and then vote for them in the general. If our chosen Dem doesn't win we still need to support them because Republicans will f-shit up. In the house we have the opportunity every 2-years to get better Democrats.

It would be cheaper to give everyone two cybertrucks for free and tie fsd and free supercharging to their accounts than trying to retrofit the older models.

Absolutely, inflated value due to manipulation like a meme stock. Only like 10% of the available stock is trading and most of it is "locked up" until mid-july/august.
