The simple truth is they probably are going to be missing out on those programs. Certainly that’s my experience. However I think it’s generally a good thing.
This motherfucker just compared removing Confederate statues to genocide.
I knew a few back in college but good Lord they were naive. He was a sweet kid but one of them thought we can get rid of the military and just use mercenaries.
Exactly. Anytime a small party runs a presidential campaign it’s not only a waste of time but it’s a waste of money and resources that could have gone to actual races that could affect actual change. Plus they help to delegitimize and demoralize the movements.
I think you’d have brain damage way before you get to that point

No matter what your system is it all comes down to the real key of democracy. That is society having a respect for democracy and the rule of law.

I think you’re underestimating the importance of Moscow in today’s Russia. It’s not like it was in Napoleon’s time or even Stalin’s.

Speak to anyone in outlying areas and they speak of Moscow with resentment. There’s a reason there’s so many separatist movements in Russia.
Bring it you ruskie coward.

I don’t like to put hot sauce on my pizza when it’s still warm but cold pizza with hot sauce is pretty damn good
Works for me.
My best behavior is to be on Larry Ellison’s front yard with pitchforks burning torches and guillotines.
