Is that a maxi pad?
Nice thought/touch

When I see "both sides are the same," it feels like a tactic used by conservative voices to discredit criticism of the Democratic party.
While both sides may lean towards capitalism and conservatism, there are distinct differences between them. Shouldn't we strive for more diversity? To silence sideline "both sides" critics effectively, we should challenge them to participate actively and demonstrate their solutions.
Moving away from the first-past-the-post voting system allows people to vote for the candidate who truly represents them without fearing the spoiler effect. Electoral reform is achievable at the state level, as shown by Maine and Alaska. Republicans are attempting to block alternative electoral systems, which shouldn't be supported by those who advocate for change.
More political parties mean a broader spectrum of voices are heard in the voting process, leading to increased engagement and representation. It's a win-win for both the people and the Democratic party, as higher voter turnout typically benefits Democrats. Therefore, blue states should prioritize electoral reform. This issue is critical to our nation's future, demanding our full commitment and action. Let's not delay any longer, especially in blue states. Start campaigns in your state for electoral reform to push our representatives to embrace new ideas. Our democracy deserves genuine representation, not excuses.
it’s not, actually, and that fact hasn’t changed since the last time you copy, pasted, and slightly realtered the same comment that got you banned on another instance (modlog)
Привет кремлёвскому троллю! Как погода в Санкт-Петербурге?
Do not worry, Republicans.
Lots of India's powerful families are into Hitler.
Gotta appreciate the attempt but I don't see this surviving a SCOTUS case unless Biden hits them with "fuck you I'm doing it anyways because you said I'm immune to consequences for it"
Also, it's not a cap on the rent itself, but rather on how much it can be raised annually, seems watered down but the nordics do the same thing and it actually seems to work better than just straight rent control.
One clear downside, all rent goes up 5% every year going forward. Greedy assholes have to be greedy.
Yeah, but only 5%, that's still much preferable to the shenanigans they'd pull jacking up the rent multiple times the current rate because they consider the lost revenue of it not being an Air BnB your responsibility to make whole.
Plus if it's so predictable, it's stable and can be accounted for instead of sweating an unpredictable rate hike.
If you think that Joe Biden, a dedicated, lifelong neoliberal, is going to price fix rent and this isn't just a desperate attempt to come up with SOME policy now that they're undeniably doomed (before this week the Biden campaign's policy page literally had no policy) I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. I'll give you a good price.
Yeah, you're probably right. How much is that bridge?

Hey quick thing. My cousin is trans.
Which party won't demonize and potentially want this family member dead?
I'm gonna vote for that one.
When your support for a mismanaged DNC leads to the GOP having a congressional majority that can pass constitutional amendments, you and your cousin are going to have a bad time. When that happens maybe you'll realize you should have pointed your vitriol at the party and not the people warning that the party was walking off a cliff.
You’re getting downvoted but you’re right. Biden resisted 4+ years of pressure to support changes to the Supreme Court. During the 2020 debates he said he wasn’t in favor of them. Now that his campaign is falling behind, suddenly he’s announcing he’s in favor of term limits for Supreme Court justices even though that would likely require a constitutional amendment.
Biden has a longstanding tendency to be a stubborn old man. He supported the Hyde Amendment for decades but only when he was losing the primary badly in 2020 did he suddenly announce he no longer supported it. This is another last-minute promise to try and save his campaign. Biden defended credit card companies for decades (being a Delaware senator), suddenly seeing him flip and support tenants over corporations seems a bit out of his normal routine.
I mean, even assuming the senator from MBNA, as Biden was known because of his lockstep support of the banks, suddenly found Jesus right now and decided to do Nixon-style price controls (which is farcical but whatever) do you think THIS Supreme Court would say that the president has the power to do Nixon-style price controls still? There's literally no way. MAYBE for Trump, sure as shit not for Biden.
