The state of Maryland cannot print money.

it was one of the most horribly written/conceived bits of legislation probably in the history of ever

snippet-

obviously the tax should be shouldered more by wealthier individuals- spreading the burden out like that over the poor and middle class is an absolutely terrible idea and tbh it was probably designed to fail

i support single payer in USA#1 and i would have voted no on that abomination if i still lived in CO

this is interesting and something i actually didn't know about at all re: CO single payer ballot initiative-

what an incredible cluster****

Christ.

There is only one path forward: abolishing the Senate and abolishing the Supreme Court. The Democratic Party will never address these concerns, because their rule relies on an undemocratic pronunciation of power through class warfare and domination:

https://www.marxists.org/archive/len...terev/ch01.htm
The Senate is an undemocratic, white supremacist instituation designed to prevent true democracy from ever occuring:




The Supreme Court is even worse. Lifetime appointed ruling class masters, selected by Presidents elected by an undemocratic Electoral College. Every single one of these bastards went to Harvard or Yale, and after Kavanaugh gets confirmed, two of them will have gone to the same goddamn HIGH SCHOOL, where tuition is $53,000: Georgetown Prep. Meritocracy my ass. This is an aristocracy of oligarchs that laughs in the face of any idea of accountability or democracy. He will be installed in order to rule against labor rights, civil rights, and any significant Democratic or Socialist legislation for decades to come.

Also, don't forget your "President" lost the popular vote by 3 million+ votes. Might not want to be making ridiculous claims like this, imperialists:


Because it turns out:

Please proceed, Governor.

Einbert overthrowing the government? O/U on minutes it takes einbert to get taken out by the military in an armed insurrection?

This weepy mother****er bawled on election night when Donald Trump won and wants to talk about the constitution after voting for the guy who's been breaking the emoluments clause since day 1

Probably should get rid of that too and start over.

oh, you got respect for the constitution, huh awval?

These conservative bastards need to go. Conservative politicians have absolutely no desire to represent working people. Instead they will tell us to our faces why we are wrong and why we don't deserve to be heard. These bastards are absolutely working against us, 100%. It's time to recognize this and act appropriately.

This is class warfare. Don't you think it's about time we started taking it as seriously as they do?

Unless the no votes were Republicans, I'm struggling to see the point you're trying to make in identifying the party affiliations.

They weren't because there are no Republicans on the DC Council. Party affiliation doesn't mean much in DC. Running with an R next to your name is an automatic disqualifier.

That's what I figured.

Pretty bad faith posting by einbert there.

I believe he was criticizing Democrats. A post that doesn't bash Republicans isn't necessarily made in bad faith.

I mean, Manchin is clearly the worst Democrat in the Senate. It's disgusting that he won't even engage them and just wants to talk about the investigation over and over again.

If Manchin wins, he needs to be primaried in six years... and if he votes for Kavanaugh, I'd be fine with Dems cutting him off. He's basically a Republican who supports the ACA. There are at least a few Republican senators who are left of him on most other issues.

He's worthless to Dems outside of healthcare and voting for the majority leader, and I think there's a chance he would switch parties anyway if Dems took the Senate. His life's work in the Senate seems to be avoiding being the deciding vote on anything.

If we can't count on you to vote against an already horrible SCOTUS justice who's a credibly accused sexual-assaulter in 2018, **** off and switch parties as far as I'm concerned.

Pointing out that it's both Democrats and Republicans that are very clearly working against working class interests. This is a key distinction that absolutely needs to be made.

Areas like DC and Hawai'i (where I live) work like this. Democrats dominate the political scene, so they can be extremely pro-business and pro-military and whatnot. They don't actually have to do anything to advance the will of the People, in fact they work to actively serve the corporations and work against the interest of the working class in their respective geographies. The only difference between here and say Georgia is that big corporations are putting all their money into Democratic party influencing because they know Republican party money doesn't go anywhere in these places. But the end result is the same--the big corporations and the capitalists have the final say over the voters and the workers who dominate the population. And the vampirism of capitalism goes on and on...

It's also important to point out that the Democratic party council members voted very undemocratically to overturn the will of the people. The People voted directly on this, and the people have been overturned by the oligarchy. This is a great demonstration of how this is not a democracy, this is an oligarchy for and by the capitalist class.

They're running a game folks. In retrospect it will be very obvious what is going on. The Resistance (TM) wants to make sure that nothing actually ever gums up the works for the ongoing fascism train.

If Kavanaugh is not confirmed, the Dems take the Senate in this election, and the GOP doesn't slam someone through in the lame duck, Dems would be wise to re-instate the judicial filibuster immediately. I posted about it in the Kavanaugh thread.

I'm not disagreeing with anything you have said here...

but yet...

I would snap take Manchin over either of my ****ing senators

Kentucky, Texas or Iowa?

Obviously there are other states with two worse senators than Manchin, but I sense a lot of venom in that f-bomb, so I'm guessing you've got at least one heavy hitter of deplorability.

Well...my avatar...

I hope all the bad things in the world happen to him

Oh, there it is. I mean, at least Rand Paul has the redeeming quality of getting beat up by his neighbors. Those poor folks in Texas have to deal with Cruz, and it's not like Cornyn is out there getting decked for their comedic relief.
