Wasting water

mardi 16 juillet 2019 à 02:00

Changing underwear every day wastes water for so much washing. Until everyone had washing machines, people didn't do this.

Elizabeth Warren

mardi 16 juillet 2019 à 02:00

Warren's many good domestic policy plans have won her more support.

As I've read articles about Warren's plans, I have agreed with them, more or less. They show me that she is progressive and will fight the plutocrats.

Sanders is also a progressive and has fought the plutocrats for decades. If we elect him, there will be no lack of good plans. What we may not have is enough progressives in Congress to enact them. Sanders is dedicating his efforts to boosting their campaigns.

Moreover, Sanders rejects US wars, and the crimes of US allies, in a way that Warren has not.

I support Sanders. I would settle for Warren.

US regime's policy towards Iran

mardi 16 juillet 2019 à 02:00

The US regime's policy towards Iran is divorced from reality in regard to strategy.

This is in addition to being divorced from reality in its goals.

Iran's regime does not respect human rights, but it's not as bad as Salafi Arabia. If the latter is good enough to be a US ally, so is Iran.

Republican power against public will

mardi 16 juillet 2019 à 02:00

In many of the states where Republicans are banning abortion, the voting public does not support them and did not vote for them. They hold power via gerrymandering, against the public will.

Death penalty in the US

mardi 16 juillet 2019 à 02:00

The death penalty in the US is "as predictable as a lightning strike." The system is so random, in some ways, that it makes no sense.

One thing that is not random is the racism. An extreme case: in Los Angeles, only non-whites get sentenced to death.

(I refuse to use the expression "of color". Color is not something one can be "of".)
