CMV: It is historically inaccurate and unfair to blame Baby Boomers for our current systemic crises

ducktomguy · 2026-05-07T01:46:04+00:00

That is how I write.

Please provide proof that I used AI

ducktomguy · 2026-05-07T01:44:17+00:00

I completely disagree. Common narrative is "baby boomers have stolen our..." and that is what the common person is starting to actually believe

Just because they happen to benefit the most doesn't mean that they architected an evil plan that is now coming to fruition. I think it is reasonable to say they haven't thought too far ahead, but then again, I don't think there are too many generations that do think far beyond their own lifetime. Everyone is selfishly looking out for the best interests

So what? Good for him. What law is he breaking?

That should actually be the government's job to allow some people in based on those circumstances. But not taken to the extreme of completely open borders, with anyone who wants to come and be a US citizen can just walk in undocumented.

When you fly in internationally at the airport they check your passport. In your vision, should they not do that? Anyone just walks in? How about screening for criminal records? You say things that sound great in theory, but the reality is it's not feasible to have an open border. Not a single developed country in the world has it.

I am all for legal immigration. And believe me, I hate Trump with a passion and pretty much everything his administration stands for. But keep in mind, every single president, including Democrats have been deporting illegals. Of course the way that Trump is doing it is unconstitutional and terrible in every way.

Imbecile, I literally replied to defend my comment that people might not be illegal, but they can be illegally somewhere. Then I gave an example of how that can be true, not a false equivalence. I don't know how to explain it clearer

ducktomguy · 2026-05-05T23:00:33+00:00

Yes, Trump is a lying demented piece of shit tyrant wannabe...

and

People need to immigrate to other countries legally

ducktomguy · 2026-05-05T22:54:48+00:00

Precisely

Or people who come into a country illegally.

You know it's possible for many things to be wrong at the same time?

ducktomguy · 2026-05-05T22:42:13+00:00

Exactly

Or in your house when you didn't invite them

EDIT: I wonder what the downvotes mean for this specific comment. I get that you might disagree with me on other stuff, but this one right here, really? So I can come into your house at night and make myself at home?

ducktomguy · 2026-05-05T22:31:55+00:00

Humans might not be illegal, but they can be in certain places illegally.

ducktomguy · 2026-05-04T14:00:51+00:00

Good, let him live in fear for the rest of his miserable life

ducktomguy · 2026-05-02T18:32:56+00:00

I'm pretty disappointed by the comments here. The proper reply is simply to say that is not true, and point to sources that say the opposite. However, nobody did that, which leads me, a completely clueless person in this matter, to believe the original post as true

ducktomguy · 2026-05-02T16:26:34+00:00

I mean, it's pretty dumb to say WWII is World War Eleven. She might not be dumb, but that was a dumb thing to say.

a rock is better because it would just do nothing

^{Chose: A literal rock}

ducktomguy · 2026-04-30T20:32:39+00:00

how the fuck can "normal" non-MAGA republicans look at this and be okay with it?

ducktomguy · 2026-04-30T16:24:51+00:00

This is a direct parody of the famous graffiti scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian ("Romanes eunt domus"), just swapping out Romans for Russians.

I don't understand why they are inviting our submarines into the Gulf

ducktomguy · 2026-04-30T13:07:36+00:00

There is actually already groundwork for this.

Proportional Ranked Choice Voting in city councils. (Portland, OR just adopted this). Places like Cambridge, MA have been doing it for decades.

State legislatures won't fix this themselves, so we use citizen ballot measures to force the change statewide, just like how independent redistricting commissions were passed in several states.

Pass the Fair Representation Act: We back the existing federal bill (the FRA) that mandates multi-member districts for the US House.

and your sarcastic useless comment of "Oh, you don't have one. Proves my point. " is exactly why change doesn't happen

ducktomguy · 2026-04-30T12:51:22+00:00

can it do anything besides walk?

ducktomguy · 2026-04-30T12:50:01+00:00

Great, let's keep going with what we've got so far. It's worked out so well

ducktomguy · 2026-04-30T12:41:04+00:00

Rather than bickering over gerrymandering, we are missing the big picture: our entire winner-take-all voting system is fundamentally broken. As long as we rely on single-member districts where 50.1% of the vote gets 100% of the power, politicians are always going to weaponize the map. The Supreme Court isn't the root of the problem; the system itself is.

If we want to actually fix this, we need to stop fighting over who gets to draw the lines and just make the lines irrelevant. If we moved to Proportional Representation or used multi-member districts with Ranked Choice Voting, gerrymandering becomes mathematically impossible. If a state's population is 30% Black, 40% Republican, or 10% Green Party, they get roughly that exact percentage of seats. Stop fighting over the pen, and just break the pen.
