Wideleft Posted February 17, 2023 Report Posted February 17, 2023 I dunno. Saying one's a dung hill and the other one is a bigger one doesn't cut it for me in these times when clarity is so very important. The right is proving itself to be anti-government which is a dangerous thing when you elect them to govern. Ask yourself what are the things you find most important in a functioning society: health? security? crime? environment? workers' rights? inequality? fair taxation? Whether we want to admit it or not, you cannot improve any of the above without a properly functioning government. When one side of the political spectrum is fighting to improve and even maintain past gains and the other side is actively trying to destroy those gains, only one smells like a pile of ****.

Mark F Posted February 17, 2023 Report Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Republicans think wind turbines cause cancer, climate change is a hoax. block efforts to move to renewables. even try to punish those that do. meanwhile Democrat/ Biden inflation reduction act is a very big step towards getting off fossil fuel. And states controlled by Democrats are taking steps. but beyond that, Republicans are at this point a party that has nothing beyond destroying democratic government, and installing a right, white, christian dictarorship. ie. to turn America into sixties Brazil, or Argentina. cant reasonably say they are the same anymore.

In a November 16 email, Rupert Murdoch told Scott to read a Wall Street Journal piece about Newsmax, telling her: "These people should be watched, if skeptically. Trump will concede eventually, and we should concentrate on Georgia, helping in any way we can. We don’t want to antagonize Trump further, but Giuliani is taken with a large grain of salt. Everything at stake here.” Everything at stake here. Journalists and news organizations that are legitimate don’t work in service of an outcome regarding who wins and loses elections. The job of a journalist is to gather and report information, and journalism does not help “in any way” it can. Fox News has been caught admitting its motivation internally that it isn’t in the journalism business. Fox News is a political organization pretending to be a news organization to help Republicans win elections. The main goal of Fox News is to help Republicans win.

I know a ton of white people who are as lazy and sorry and probably worse than black people I know, and I would not hire them because they’re lazy.
