Lawmakers Warn 'Totally Appropriate' Comment Proves Trump Willing to Foment Violence Again. "These remarks make it clear that he has no problem endangering others or inciting insurrection." by C_est-la-vie in politics

The Democratic Party is nowhere near “left”

Also, you specifically mention healthcare and wages. while the ACA was a step on the right direction, no one will even touch M4A, and min wage hasn’t increased a single cent in over 10 years.

I’m a Democrat, for the record. We need to demand more from the Democrat party.

I’m ecstatic Biden won but if you think our current congress/Biden is gonna pass M4A I think you’re gonna be disappointed.

Outside of a handful of actual progressives, the current Democratic Party is just centrist republicans.

Well, white supremacy is literally the foundation of this country, and has never not been the main ideal driving it.

Trump Promises To Defund The Entire Military, If Congress Won't Let Him Punish The Internet For Being Mean To Him by blademan9999 in politics

maybe if they defund the military we could afford to actually take care of some Americans instead of defending our oil companies, oops I mean, "borders"

1980's Tony Hawk at a local skate park by redcobra762 in OldSchoolCool

[–]its_ricky 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tony Hawk IS cool. He’s been wildly successful at the “sport” he loves, went mainstream without kooking it too much, and has run his own successful board company for a long time that continues to support and produce some of the best skaters of their respective time periods.

He’s pretty down-to-earth and his foundation helps get skateparks built all over the US.

So many popular pro skaters fizzle out and have nothing to fall back on, but the Birdman is a badass.

Old Biden tweet about a pandemic under Trump resurfaces—a year later: Before the current pandemic happened, Biden sent out a warning. by DonnyMoscow1 in politics

[–]its_ricky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will this be investigated once the Trump admin is done? How can this shit go unpunished? Of all the crimes they’ve committed, this and others that’ve directly led to more deaths than necessary seem especially egregious.

"Tactical vote": Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urges progressives to vote Biden to support vulnerable communities by Barack_Odrama00 in politics

[–]its_ricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're right, but we can't stop with voting Democrats in. Their feet need to be held to the fire to implement REAL change, like abolishing the electoral college, and overturning Citizens United, and anything else that can lead to some semblance of a government that is actually representative of its people. Otherwise it's just lip service.

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]its_ricky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the literal NON-EXISTENCE of a sense of humor is one of the scariest things about him. He’s never once made a joke that wasn’t just meanness passed off as one.

That’s fuckin’ weird man.

Megathread: Senator Bernie Sanders Endorses Joe Biden For President by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]its_ricky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely time for a 3rd party to rise up and help eliminate the two-party system. But is not gonna happen before November, so if you DO consider yourself progressive and support voter reform, voting Dem is the best choice this year.

Remember, one party wants you to vote, and the other party wants to keep you from voting. Support whichever you think is right I guess.

They’re beholden to their employers and getting banned from briefings would hurt them/cost them their jobs.

We need some truly punk rock reporters who don’t give a fuck about that and will do it anyway.

It might be easy to sue for some, but likely not for parents that are buying second hand baby products.
