dimanche 16 janvier 2022 à 12:34

When plutocratist Democrats defeat progressive programs, the next thing they do is pretend that the programs failed because they went "too far left."

Now they are pushing for Clinton to run again for president.

I will back Sanders if he runs.

If, in that killing of billions, an equal fraction were going to be killed in every ethnic or racial group, that would not make it ok.

NYC fire

NYC's new mayor, in regard to the recent fire, downplays the owner's failure to maintain and operate the building safely, and focuses on the tenants' dangerous methods for coping with those flaws.

It's generally better to fix the system than to try to teach many individuals to work perfectly within the existing flawed system. At one level, that's the reason to require central heating. At another, that's the reason for building codes. At another, that's the reason for progressive politics.

If they were honest, they'd find it unconstitutional.*
