    So the quotes from the victim don't matter because of the website address? Makes sense. And, you glossed over the portion of the link you posted that admits Hillary chuckled about the case. Yeah, rape is funny...?

    I'm assuming because he was running against an incumbent. I understand what he is saying. And I am not attempting to let white people off the hook here. In fact, that's something for which I am known. I simply think that a racial analysis without class is incomplete. All white people don't want socialism, but the ones that swung towards Trump and ultimately made him president could have been won to a platform that combined racial and economic progress.
     
  5. Not sure how you missed it, here we go again:

    Read what the "chuckling" is about. It wasn't the rape. And stop reading the fucking Daily Mail.

    I feel horrified for the victim. I do. But public defenders are very important. And your facts are grossly wrong about the case to begin with. And I can easily believe all this to be true.

    I mean call it a right if you want, it doesn't accomplish anything.

    Voting rights were protected only for the people that could afford to vote, minorities and women were unable to vote, People had to fight for their rights to vote. People are now fighting for the right to health care which was and soon will be again only available to those that can afford it.

    Rights are things people should be guaranteed to have. Sometimes we have to fight for rights because of changing society.

    Not all rights by default given.

    As long as it's not made shitty and cut-rate like most of his products and makes people safer, I'll take it, and we can carve the names off after we take power back.

    All i said is it should be a right. It isn't in our society because people put money over human lives. To me that's fucked up. I can express that without laying out a ten point plan to change it

  14. I want to believe it. But I am right now very unconvinced, and seeing those specific policies do horrifically in those states, with those voters, is part of the reasons why. I think the white voter in Oregon or Washington is more likely to be swayed by them than the ones that went Trump in the belt.

    Only said after because as long as he's president they'll fix it. After that we can take it off for good. And have a crowd cheer as we do, as you should when you tear down the icons of a tyrant.

    Healthcare is a business. Once you are injured and have no one to pay your bills, those costs are externalized through other means. This would be he case even if the government were not involved, because businesses need to recoup the money they initially fronted. In the mean time, you would be left destitute and eventually would require further care, thus enhancing the cycle. Given the level of inequality in America, one need only look at those dynamics writ large to see how it would begin effecting others in a more destructive manner.

  22. Nevada played a huge role in this election, worried about law changes there to voter rights.

    yeah definitely, but to create more jobs we'll keep taking it down, changing to say other things. Should have a nice circular job creation plan

    Water, food, healthcare, internet (seriously) should be basic human provisions.
