Get FUCKED turbo tax. Fuck you forever.

I'm surprised they didn't leash John Stewart. He must have a bad ass contract that let's him say what he wants.

I mean, this same topic is in like 10 different threads right now.

Sounds like getting armed and trained is the reasonable thing to do if you're LGBT or to the left of Richard nixon.

This doesn’t change what we need to do

Campaign at the state level to change our voting system so we can have more options in the voting booth?

Consider arming yourself. Armed queers bash back.

Can we just like, try an alternative electoral system so more then two political parties can be viable?

Republicans making public plans to install an authoritarian government? Sounds serious!

So when will democrats drop gun control considering this imminent threat?

Work towards peace, prepare for the inevitable.

Given the urgency of our predicament, wouldn't you say it would be wise to use every tool at our disposal to maintain our democracy?

What if we tried using a voting system that wasn't first past the post voting? That way, more then 2 political parties would be viable and there would be no spoiler effect.

Imagine several other people on that debate stage. Then it wouldn't be such a knife in the gut to see a poor performance coming from Joe biden. There would be other people to back. Other people to compete for the office. Other people to not let trump get away with his bullshit.

How we vote is controlled at the state level, we dont need to wait for federal reform! In fact some states have already passed electoral reform.

Here is an example of what Ranked Choice voting can do for us all:

The elimination of the First Past the Post voting system would allow voters to support third-party candidates without the fear of causing a spoiler effect. This change would promote greater competition in elections, improving the caliber of candidates available to all voters. Also, it is likely to boost voter turnout and increase political engagement.

Electoral reform has already been achieved at the state level; Alaska and Maine have successfully implemented changes to their electoral systems, demonstrating that broader reform is feasible.

However, Republicans have taken steps to preserve the First Past the Post voting system. For instance, Florida recently outlawed Ranked Choice voting. Despite this setback, there are numerous alternatives to First Past the Post, ensuring that bans like Florida’s do not obstruct progress toward electoral reform.

This raises the question: why do predominantly Democratic states continue to utilize First Past the Post voting? Why continueto use a voting system favored by Republicans? In states controlled by Democrats, there are no Republican obstacles preventing these reforms.

It is evident that Democrats recognize the shortcomings of First Past the Post voting. Mentioning third-party voting on social media often prompts numerous Democrats to caution against “wasting” votes that could inadvertently benefit Republicans. It is perplexing to acknowledge flaws in the voting system yet fail to take action to address them. Lecturing others about the drawbacks of First Past the Post voting while neglecting to pursue solutions is contradictory and counterproductive.

I was broke as hell and the vasectomy was going to cost $700.

I finally saved $700, and when I went in they said "shit dawg, you're broke as hell. Here is this program to make it free"

So even if you can't afford it, try reaching out to your local planned parenthood. They know how to navigate the benefit system better then you.

The 1% can make their own wage slaves.
