It may be in your best interest that I stay on the pipe. Have you seen how much budget a recovered crackhead can swindle from your local city council with one impassioned and heart-felt speech? You'll have your hard-earned tax dollars going towards useless shit like youth outreach, vocational training, and substance abuse education quicker than you can say covfefe!

Socialism? Nope.
Effective societal safety net? Nope. Reform of classist programs and requirements? Nope. Seized the means of production? Nope. Ensure big agriculture doesn't hoard water? Nope. Ensure big agriculture doesn't pollute watersheds? Nope. Enact sweeping reform to revamp parks and public recreation? Nope. NIMBYs? Yep. Silver spooners? Yep. Power brokers? Yep. Beholden to business interests? Yep. The left/right line is a semi-circle. Far-left and far-right are damn near touching- they both want government to have the power to run your life. There's a far bigger difference between progressives and conservatives than there is between liberals and conservatives. Liberals aren't the boogeyman you're looking for. |

They didn't get rid of all the mental health facilities. Herschel Walker was insistent that he was able to pray away his mental health problems. With that logic, the church is the most prominent mental health institution. One could say that they've been ENHANCING mental health care, but people aren't taking it .

You're all about progress, baby. In the future, you can tell your offspring about how these wonderfully progressive states were so caring and compassionate, that they had tens of thousands of people sleeping on the streets. They had people living in their vehicles. They supported lawlessness, crime and anarchy. They supported unvetted immigration. And you did it ALL in the name of socia... err PROGRESS! haha you are so caring, you big hearted son of a bitch! if only we could all aspire to be more like YOU ahahaha |

CA's inability to police its water may have grave results for the rest of the country- farms going bust are going to create problems in Moline and Grand Detour, home of John Deere and John Deere Financial. Water used for alfalfa because alfalfa farms have senior water rights is going to fallow winter vegetable fields, increasing food costs, which will make conversion of alfalfa farms to winter vegetable farms possible, which will increase the cost of dairy and beef. This could actually revitalize the South and bring back jobs to areas that have fallen decades behind, a new wave of Southern agriculture pulling people out of poverty, but the investment would be hundreds of billions of dollars in infrastructure spending, both public and private, in some of the nation's reddest, and poorest, states. It would be an investment in pulling entire counties and potentially states out of poverty- I don't know if you've ever done the drive from Houston to the Panhandle, or from Birmingham to some of the smaller towns in Alabama's southeast, but the poverty in certain areas of the South is quite literally third-world. Texas' creation of the ability to sue people who facilitate abortions led to Newsom's dumbass creation of the ability to sue people who have "assault rifles" and "ghost guns." Luckily, Judge Benitez was willing to make the right decision, which hopefully will make its way to Texas' backward courts. Quote:
Conservatives and liberals are both hand-wringers when it comes to drug use. Criminalizing addicts doesn't get them help, it just puts them in with other criminals they can use to expand their repertoire of skills for fraud and theft. It's akin to putting a hungry man in a room with chefs. Addiction can be treated. Addiction is estimated by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to cost America's economy $600 billion per year (and others list the number between $442 billion and more than $740 billion)- again, an upfront investment will reduce costs and pay dividends. By the way, the largest single contributor to that number is legal tobacco, followed by legal alcohol. Private profits, public problem. In the 2015 San Francisco Homeless Count, 55% of people experiencing chronic homelessness report they have emotional or psychiatric conditions. PS, so glad to know that in the past several years, your arguments still cannot and will not progress past the "commie" stage. Communism is the political theory in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. That is not what I've espoused, literally ever, and you'll find that the system of laws in the US makes both impossible. |

I don't see why such a tactic would seem appealing, as if they took a second to put themselves into the reverse position they'd see how little effect it actually has. If you're going to defend a position, it's best to use facts and not rhetoric or fallacious arguments.

That is exactly what Gavin is looking for however. Is it just coincidence that you are now parroting his latest talking points out of thin air?

This is the complete opposite of what the rest of us want. We want to decouple from the concentrated urban centers and central governments. Quote:

Quote:
Lack of "affordable" housing does not create homelessness. If I am wealthy and have a nice home, I don't want to live next to dregs and projects so my shit can bet broken into every other week. Quote:
Quote:
Legalizing drugs, allowing people to have, distribute and use drugs also doesn't solve the drug problem. This goes back to my statements - you're progressive colleges only make being homeless easier. If you secured the boards you could reduce the incoming shipments of Chinese fentanyl, the drug of choice ravaging this country. If you actually prospected people and had secure prisons - you'd ensure they'd be 6 months to a year sober and clean. Instead of wasting money on homeless enrichment projects, maybe create drug offender specific incarceration centers. It can't. Quote:
Funny, your side is also pushing to legalize Marijuana. Once that's 100%, I'm sure Fentanyl will be next. *SIDE NOTE* I do find it ironic that for years I heard about how Cannabis was a magic substance with no addiction, no side effects, magical healing properties, the "high" was a fraction of what alcohol is.. etc. Now that there is wide spread adoption we're seeing all sorts of studies cropping up about neurological damage, lung damage, eating disorders, diabetes impact, depression, addiction etc. Quote:
Which argument is it? People are homeless because evil rich people won't approve projects being built in their neighborhoods or is it people are crazy and can't function in society? Do you think drug use contributes to mental health issues? Quote:
We're calling you a Mao-ist, Stalin-ist, Lenin-ist, etc. That you are totally cool with a brutal over reaching central authority who's promising to make life better for all and bring equity to everyone! What! Food is to expensive?! Damn evil greedy corporations! Put a price ceiling on it! Better yet!! Kill all the sparrows that keep eating our grain!! That is exactly the bullshit stupidity you have in California. China is dumping our "Recycled" Plastic into the ocean? Better ban plastic straws to save the baby turtles. Fresh water crisis? Thank God we went to paper straws that use millions of gallons of water to process and make. Homeless problem? Cool - Lets legalize drugs, not charge them for theft, public deification, loitering and vagrancy. Wait, more people are coming to California to be homeless?! Okay, better give them free needles, condoms, some free food, shelters, and $500 a month... wait!! MORE ARE COMING?! Okay, Okay!! Better... make all of our cities "Sanctuary Cities" and let millions of South American illegal immigrants move there... OMFG WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY HOMELESS DREGS!?! WHAT THE FUCK AMERICA!! THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM TOO!!! RREEEEE Literal 101 Soviet/Chinese Communist Leadership right there. It's a giant lie and charade. Promise the unwashed masses whatever bullshit - pay off college loans! - to get elected and then never follow threw. Build up BS identity politics to create voting blocks and drive division. Create solutions that create and encourage problems, but find ways to profit off those solutions - Case in Point, the homeless - Lets End Homelessness! So we award Corbic's Non-Profit "Homeless Lives Matter" $1m to give free Condoms to Homeless!! I take the $1M and claim a $500k paycheck. I then take another $100k and pay some ethnically diverse students to distribute the condoms that I bought from my best friend's girlfriend's store at a 30% retail mark up. (woman owned small business bruh) The friend and I then roll some of our "income" into a Non-Profit political action group as a tax write off. This group then runs ads and donates $30k next election cycle to my DNC candidate to make sure I get another $1M to fight homelessness!! Anyone that claims it's a waste of money is a racist asshole. |

There is no accurate depiction of the left, in the same way there's no accurate depiction of the right. Not all on the right want a christo-fascist dictatorship, but plenty do. Not all on the left want state-owned/funded healthcare/railways/oil industry, but some do. Lumping all of those who don't agree with you into some boogeyman box while ignoring the complexities and nuance of political opinion and discourse. Again, that's not productive and only serves to establish/increase division.

If you want a rant thread go make one. This is a discussion thread. <3 Another pointless rant that only serves to temporarily relieve frustration. No points addressed, no solutions offered, no contrapoints, etc. On a completely side note - if you guys find yourselves getting pissed off when you watch/read the news, I'd like you to try an experiment. Take the source and edit out all the biased/charged language, distill it down to facts only. Then go to the opposite spectrum of the mediasphere and do the same with their presentation of the same story. See how the facts jive. See if the facts are what is pissing you off or if it's how it's presented. Humans higher reasoning functions are effective short-circuited when we're made angry or fearful. In short, when someone makes you afraid or angry, you lose the ability to think rationally and apply reason & logic. Once you're in this state, you're easily influenced and can be made to believe whatever they want you to. Consider shopping around for accurate-reporting unbiased media sources to help with this. Mediabiasfactcheck.com is a solid resource which backs up its analysis.

You're cutting off your nose to spite your face.

So hungry. Maybe you need two cakes so you can have a cake and eat it too. Prospected people? To quote your people, speak English. How are you going to have secure prisons when you're dealing with poorly educated prison staff who don't make much money unless they're in a position of power? Uh oh, you'd be increasing government spending again. Dammit, gonna need three cakes. Quote:

The cost of free needles is so much less than the cost of treating an outbreak of HIV. It's so much less than treating infections from dirty needles. It's an upfront cost that reduces cost down the line. The cost of free condoms is so much less than the cost of raising a child in the (broken) welfare system. It's so much less than the cost of treating an outbreak of HIV or STDs. It removes a cost from the State- again, an upfront cost that reduces cost down the line. People are gonna have sex, might as well reduce the cost to society of that sex. Quote:

Hunter's the only reason we've got interest in Ukraine?
Food insecurity is global insecurity, and Russia and Ukraine made up more than a quarter of the global wheat supply. Food insecurity in Africa further opens the door for Chinese and Indian colonialism, and food insecurity in the ME and North Africa opens the door for KSA to exert influence. We know Hunter's a private equity guy (which everyone should regard as shady) with a drug problem. He also has a law degree, corporate C-suite experience, big-name connections, and international corporate expansion knowledge. You should probably read through the (extensively cited) Wikipedia entry for Hunter Biden: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden You'll see that Hunter's currently under investigation by the Feds for making false declarations during a gun purchase as well as tax-related crimes. If you don't believe anything there, what can you believe? Wasn't there an uproar from conservatives about liberals teaching kids that 2+2=5? |

What language are you speaking? The Ukraine situation is now about food scarcity?
The F.B.WHAT is investigating WHO? They dont investigate anything. They dont even answer questions at hearings because either they dont remember or they're late to catch a plane and go on vacation and yes, 2 + 2 = whatever you want it to equal. Clearly. I mean afterall, wiki is exactly where I head to for facts. And, of course, Zilvia. You gotta relax, I'm starting to think you're a closet conservative. I'm worried. its... absolutely GREAT! chaos is a good thing. the soliloquy of chaos. |

Wikipedia is great. Its a fantastic aggregator of substantiated leftist links, that are extensively moderated by leftist moderators. It can be reported for misinformation and bad information, ie: NON-CONFORMING to leftist narratives/consensus. This is no different than your horse shit views on California. LEFTIST dominated in terms of politics, big tech, academia, film, tv and media. You use sesquipedalian terms but fail to make any valid points. When you're in the drivers seat, the only one to blame is the driver. Welcome to California. In all fairness, Wiki can be used for certain things as long as its not social or political. Visit any hot-button topic and click on the TALK page, its very obvious how left-leaning it is. Check the references and articles, they're hitting all the left wing media sites. Was Twitter or Facebook or Youtube any different? No conflicting opinions allowed. Follow the narrative. No debate, just silence the opposition. First, pound them with the narrative. Then intimidate them, cancel them, attack their ability to make money. Last, dox them, dress up in black bloc and beat the fuck out of them. MUST BE THE DANGEROUS ALT-RIGHT!!! haha |

Have you clicked through all the links in a "leftist" article, then checked that source's sources? Or are you assuming they're wrong because they don't jive with you? The right isn't the only group guilty of it. The left does a bang-up job of pushing the mass shooting narrative, changing the goalposts when the number isn't high enough or weapons bans have left the collective consciousness. McCarthy and the House Republicans sounds like a great punk band name. "God Save the Clown" can be their first hit. |
