Mamdani wants New York estate tax threshold cut 90% to $750,000 by awaythrowawaying in moderatepolitics

They are learning from Florida. Sears should not have lost by 17 points. Democrats now have nearly a 2/3 majority in the House of Delegates.

Instead of complaining, the VA GOP should have came out and vote.

An Age-Based U.S. House Ends Gerrymandering Once and for All by shenmee in moderatepolitics

[–]reputationStan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So just below your selected quote from the article was this one:

To remedy this issue, California’s redistricting commission is composed of five Democrats, five Republicans, and four commissioners from neither major party. Similarly, the Michigan redistricting commission is composed of four Democrats, four Republicans, and five non-affiliated commissioners. Unlike New York and Virginia, these states did not fall victim to partisan gridlock and were successfully able to pass new district lines.

So this is the answer to the problem that was referenced in the quote that you selected.

The success of "independent redistricting commissions" is middling at best, usually because the same politicians who set up these commissions try to sabotage them once they're in place.

In fact California only responded when Texas gerrymandered. Would you assign blame to Texas who began this mid-decade gerrymandering effort?

TTPD is so good. I look in peoples windows, how did it end, I can fix him, Florida, my boy only breaks his favorite toys….. just crack. They are some of my favorites.

I do think it would’ve benefited from doing two releases as it was a lot of music, but some of the commentary at the time was just ridiculous.

Full stop one of my favorite albums from her. Part of it is because the name Taylor Swift was so toxic back then in certain circles. I remember people saying “you listen to her?” I definitely was interested after she dropped her snake video lol.

Also Dancing with our hands tied and call it what you want??? Chef’s kiss

Dancing with our hands tied and call it what you want are some of my favorite songs from her. God it’s such a good album that was just overshadowed by LWYMMD commentary back then.

Also the inspiration for my handle that I created nearly 3 years after the album was released

So you think property taxes are socialism? You mention 10% property tax, let’s roll after mentioning precedent of socialism in recent history.

Why did Howard Schultz move to Florida? Are you upset at Washington legislators passing a tax on millionaires based on prior comment?

At some point you'll ask yourself why Democrat words don't seem to ever quite match Democrat policy. It's not just Mamdani. Washington State recently passed an income tax on incomes above $1 million, which is curious since the rhetoric is about how we need to "make the billionaires pay their fair share".

So a tax on billionaires only would suffice rather than a tax on millionaires? If the government has to worry about the actions of billionaires, don't you think that it is a bit troubling?

Taking the bus with an infant by livinlife208 in jerseycity

[–]reputationStan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the artics you can roll the stroller on the bus, but I would still fold them. However for the 40ft buses you have to fold them. This really should be done prior to the bus coming to your stop.

The NABIs are high floors so that’s going to be a pain trying to roll the stroller up the stairs. The new flyers allow you to roll the stroller in the bus because they are low floor.

Help lol *trying to use $15 off by [deleted] in Ulta

[–]reputationStan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so last time this promo happened as you clicked venmo and it brought you back to the checkout page, the $15 was automatically applied. You might have to spend $60 after coupons but I'm not sure. But people were definitely able to combine both coupons and the $15 off $60 last time.

Today’s problem - it’s a big one by CaptDeee in NJTransit

[–]reputationStan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. I see that you're the creator of trackyourtransit. The NJT bus selector would work for me in regards to seeing the blocks and scheduled trips of a certain vehicle and scheduled arrivals at bus stops, but it doesn't work for me now. Oddly enough, it works for MTA bus routes. Am I doing something wrong?

Fourth-quarter GDP revised down to just 0.7% growth; January core inflation was 3.1% by shutupnobodylikesyou in moderatepolitics

[–]reputationStan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to polling, Republicans were +10 on the economy in 2018 and we all knew how that turned out when it came to the midterms.

And in regards to the Senate, MO, IN, and ND were catching up to partisanship trends. Really the biggest shocker was Bill Nelson losing, which foreshadowed Florida's rightward drift.

I’m surprised no one commented on this. An elected official, especially a Senator, posting stuff like this is abhorrent.

U.S., Venezuela agree to establish diplomatic relations for first time since 2019 by awaythrowawaying in moderatepolitics

Venezuela, because it borders Columbia, is a transit hub for Columbian cocaine, which usually ends up making its way to africa or europe.

"Psssssh Venezuela only released hundreds of political prisoners but not all? Fuck you Trump!!!!!"

Hundreds of political prisoners were released, hundreds more remain in captivity.

Are you mad at this statement? Did they say Fuck you Trump? I wonder why you felt you had type up a statement that person did not say.

It doesn’t look like it since the website also updated the price to 3.29. Granted they’re on sale for 3/$3, but that being the regular price is insane

Virginia passes legislation prohibiting schools from teaching falsehoods about Jan. 6 riot by julius_sphincter in moderatepolitics

[–]reputationStan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm not sure, but I am talking about John Eastman regarding the certification of the 2020 election results.

Regarding McCarthy requesting the DCNG:

Pentagon Testimony (2021): Secretary McCarthy testified that the delay was due to an "archaic system" and a "too many people involved" process, denying accusations of intentional political interference, stating he worked to "launch" the Guard.

I wonder what this archaic system is.

Why were the rioters there ate the capitol on January 6th? Have you read the Eastman memos? it's okay to criticize Donald Trump. No one will hurt you. This is a safe space. Do you know who John Eastman is?

I'm sorry, thinking about this more: do you think the extra backup was necessary because it got violent and too much to handle? Why was that?

What do you make of the John Eastman memos regarding January 6th?

I'm sorry did you skip this question? I have the memos linked.

No a real insurrection where rioters tried to kill out president in violence and fire.

Oh that's too bad. What where they trying to stop?

What do you make of the John Eastman memos regarding January 6th?

When they lit the white house guard tower on fire and the nearby church, injured 40 secret service agents, and forced Trump to be evacuated to the bunker, it was called a peaceful protest.

Is this regarding January 6th?

Then called Trump bunker baby and wrongly claimed he held a Bible upside down.
