Because enough people use credit cards that businesses have felt compelled to raise prices across the board to compensate.

We need electoral reform that implements a system where more than two parties becomes viable. Imagine splitting left-leaning voters even more than they are now. It’s guaranteed wins for Republicans.

First Past the Post must be done away with and there should instead be a coalition of voters that refuse to support ANY candidate that doesn’t make it their primary campaign policy. Once that’s done, smaller parties will organically be created and incorporated into the system.

Support organizations listed here, specifically FairVote.

France seems pretty chill today, actually. Relaxed people that aren’t afraid to unify and protest when they feel the government isn’t on their side.

The appeal of Le Pen to them is worrisome but humanity as a whole seems susceptible to right-wing populism, unfortunately.

Current as in today? Or then-current (pre-exodus)?

Conservatives use fascist to describe their opponents just as much as leftists. Doesn’t change the fact that Donald Trump is a literal fascist.

Counterpoints:

8 - The left is the mainstream media, the coastal elites, the woke mob, the invasion of immigrants, etc. These are all powerful forces that must be stopped.

14 - “fake news”, “the woke mind virus”, demonization of “CRT”, “LGBT”, “DEI”, etc. Also note Trump’s vocabulary - he speaks like a middle schooler.

4 - maybe, sometimes. But the mob-like mentality of Trump’s supporters cannot be ignored.

And just because progressives share some aspects does not mean that MAGA doesn’t. MAGA is fascism, dude.

Read the 14 points. Notice how Trump aligns almost inarguably with all of them.

What happened as a result? The weakening of our institutions, the consolidation of power for the wealthy, the diminished voice of the people, amongst so many other things.

To be fair, this dude is also paying taxes, even if he’s trying not to.

Not subscribed and saw the post. Still a Chrome user but probably need to bite the bullet and move over.

Are they also adding full fat yogurt, milk and peanut butter? Skipping protein powder?

A smoothie could easily hit 700+ calories if made mindlessly.

My life has been unduly burdened because of my “dick too big” problem. So many don’t understand my plight.

Pray for me.

Agreed. Lots of reasonable opinions (not just my own) get downvoted here.

I’ve never been a fan of using downvotes as a disagree button and the issue seems even worse here than Reddit.

Did you hear about Technology Connection’s beef with xQc?

You should use a client that supports all of the text formatting. On Voyager the bot’s comment is smaller than most when collapsed (which it is by default).

Lmao basically proving my point exactly.

Leftists fighting amongst themselves will contribute to the downfall of us all.

Dubious take.

The trifecta that included the slimmest of majorities in the House, the literal minority in the Senate and the non-existent mandate that Biden came in with?

Don’t forget that the effective tie in the Senate was comprised of both Manchin and Sinema who are the very definition of DINOs.

In short: no such trifecta existed.

Shocked the title of the original isn’t Little Bobby Tables.

Brain Surgeon is a classic too. Homeopathic A&E is a personal favorite of mine.
