Mamdani is right. Reagan was wrong. "I'm from the government and I'm here to help" is not "scary." What about if you're lost in a forest? What if your house is on fire? Public sector workers are incredibly useful in some of our most difficult situations. Government is good.
JOE ROGAN: Have you ever had a dream that you your, you- you could, you’ll do, you- you’ll do, you could- you, you want, you want him to do so much you could do anything?
PIERRE POILIEVRE (teeth grinding): We used to have dreams like that Joe, before 10 years of Libe—
@Tx101NX@mask_bastard Loved Magmoor Caverns. They realized they had the perfect lava level music with Super Metroid's Lower Norfair and made it sound modern.
@barbarismcrit Wasn't Bill apparently ready to fall on the sword like, a week ago? Is HC going to stop a good thing from happening to save her own reputation and pride again?
@RaraSensei@PollTracker2024 Very curious how they're going to square the automatic revocation and that payment. I'm Canadian now, if they want exclusivity they can have nothing instead.
Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.
I’m no great fan of the ACA.
I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.
But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.
@RGMTexas@Dio76Bri76@cjpearson Because states of employment or unemployment are temorary and a society shouldn't let people get sick or die based on how well they interview for a job.
@barbarismcrit The obvious moral arguments aside, ICE disappearing people w/o due process is probably the best issue that the left/dems could use to increase their approval on immigration relative to Trump/the GOP, but Yglesias rejects the idea that politics is even partially about pursuasion.
How do these people have the audacity to masquerade as free speech champions when they've spent the 3 months devoting massive resources to deporting people legally in the US for the crime of criticizing Israel, then forcing colleges to expand hate speech codes to protect Israel?
