I would love for you to ask friends of mine who lived in the USSR and its satellites (Romania, Ukraine, and Czech are the three I spoke with last about this) what the dumbed down version of socialism was, because this would be their exact response. The capitalistic system we have now is not...

I don't 100% agree with this picture, but the post above reminded me of this meme I saw a while back. There are definitely MANY situations like this across the country, and it really does shock me that no one seems to notice and/or actually hold them accountable.

Odds are the ACA will bankrupt itself based on the delays in implementation that Obama randomly decided. Then it will either be completely erased due to lack of funds, or there will be some other knee-jerk reaction that will make it worse. Thus is the current course of modern politics.

I sell all classes of pharmaceuticals into medical offices. I can assure you most reclassification is due to whoever paid the FDA the most to get easier access. There are some hard lined spots, but they reclassify drugs all the time willy nilly until you look into donations/job hopping from...

He would rather let the medical world abolish the middle men of insurance companies, and let it look MUCH more like elective plastic surgery, where people have to actually compete for patients and procedures. He does promote hazard insurance to cover ER instances, but thinks that should be...

I actually really like Gary Johnson and his policies. He wants to completely and utterly decriminalize marijuana, which would not only allow a free market system as opposed to limiting production, but would also allow its industrial uses as well, including construction materials, fiber...

When voting against someone becomes your motivation, you know the political system is completely shattered. No voting with conscience, no pride in your party affiliation or system, not feeling like you've actually voted for the right person, but just "against" someone. Until we get 15% of a...

Frankly, I am not surprised that Britain left the EU. Since they hadn't bought into the monetary system, they weren't completely stuck like Germany and others paying for the likes of Greece and Spain. When you give up sovereignty like that and all it does is slow down your own country...

I would agree. And those that are wary of any socialistic mindset will immediately dislike her based on her overtly progressive ideas as she is even farther that direction than Clinton.

Generalities regarding the term "independent," not a candidate. Although the broad usage of "everybody likes Elizabeth Warren" is debatable at best based on the HuffPo polls as they are an aggregate of major polls across the spectrum and country, that was what I meant. And I didn't mean any...

FWIW, it wasn't about a box, it was about terminology. I don't like boxes; but at the same time, its difficult to discuss generalities without some sort of vocabulary framework. The constant change of terms and what means and what is or is not allowable in conversation is dizzying at best...

Then your version of independent is very different from the standard term, which is totally fine, but not exactly what I meant. I speak in generalities in this regard, not specifics, as the term independent traditionally means someone who falls in between the hard lines of liberal and...

Warren will only solidify the base, not bring in independents. She is not very favorably looked upon by those outside of the progressive left.

Here's part of Hilary's, a salon.com article from 2015, during some major campaigning. Especially for those who think Hilary is the "peace promoter": *Emphases are Yogo's, not the articles. I especially love how much the Dems railed against foreign influence is politics, and yet this is...

Not sure how acting like children and passing a bill without actually reading it makes this the Reps problem, but I have never quite understood the back and forth in congress.

Still struggling to get the resources for one of these. Although with as many Evos have been cycling through the Classifieds, I might be able to snag one of those for around the same deal. Wife should be getting a HUGE chunk of change end of August, and I'm hoping all that goes towards our...

And yet the opening of the article hints otherwise by its verbage. Overall, getting a gun is much more difficult than it has been in the past. That's not to say its impossible, or even "hard," but there are many more pieces of tape to cut through or traveling to be had, etc. My original point...

The reseller situation is one with more issues. However, most guns used in crimes are not going to used with weapons acquired like this. They still have serial numbers. Most buyers will not purchase unless the serial number is already scratched off. At least those are the statistics in Chicago.

I'm lucky enough to be married to someone who shares the bulk of my socio-political beliefs as well as theological lifestyle. Although I am a recent convert to hating the two party system thanks to her :lmao:

Vote Libertarian! While that video of the Libertarian Convention was insane, we have to remember that in order to have any affect in a primary, people HAVE to be registered in the two party system, which is what allows the insanity of that situation to begin with. Those people are more like...
