Daylight savings time needs to be gotten rid of.

The imperial measurement standard needs to be gotten rid of.

The UN security council veto should be able to be overridden by the general assembly.

Collective responsibility for a democracy’s crimes should be a thing.

The country of Israel should be moved to an open area of land with no people on it. Siberia, Alaska, Greenland, or the jungles of South America.

There should be a corporate death penalty when they commit crimes.

All kids should have food.

All humans should have access to very basic water and food. Like beans and rice for everyone, no exceptions.

Basic sanitation is a human right.

Religion should not be respected any more than any other bag of philosophical ideas. Stupid parts of religions should be called out and discussed, not hallowed and treated with respect even if its utter nonsense.

I was about to comment and correct the poster that it was called a nipple, but you are correct. its a clit.

Not that I’m pro-chemical-weapon use, but I dont think the US should be wagging their finger at much of anyone right now.

ok but I’m in my mid 50s.

excellent point, killing innocent civilians is very wrong. As is starving them and abusing them for 80 years. All those things, just plain wrong, no matter the reasoning.

Good point, and a perfect centrist take (not that I’m accusing you of being centrist). They should have a centrist viewing and commentary of the whole star wars series. Like mystery science theatre 3000.

Well the IDF better launch an investigation into this, right away. Or else.

They are drawing very stern looking frowney faces on the weapon shipping crates. VERY stern.

We have to wait for ‘history’ to handle this for us, huh.

are you talking about progressives or centrists, dagwood?

She abandoned all her progressives positions early. I’m no political consultant, but I think thats usually not the best method to win over progressives. I dont think she planned on progressive support-- I think someone told her she could win some republicans and never have to talk to a progressives ever again.

The straightest consistently whitest guy up there is Bernie, just saying. I bet he’s never had a tan in his whole life.

This “red flag” is meaningless to people broke the age of 50 or so. I am a Democrat. I vote for the candidate who is a Democrat. Obama was a Democrat.

I get it man. I’m over 50 too and my team is the White Sox. I support the White Sox no matter that. Whats important in sports is that you support the team of your home town. Sure they were the worst team in 2024 and not entertaining to watch. Doesnt matter.

Anyone who writes scathing articles of the sox pathetic performance in the newspaper is wrong and disloyal, and is missing the whole point of sports. Its not about celebrating human athleticism and competition in striving to to be the best a human can be, its about adherence and loyalty to the corporation who owns your local team.

Adherence to your political party is similar. Government is not about advancing or serving society, its about eating rotten scraps off the floor and being grateful for having that much.

Sort of, sometimes. They can and will heavily disadvantage candidates they dont like. Like when they gave Hillary the questions for debates beforehand but not to Bernie, and let hillary control the funding of races, including her own. And like when they cut new hampshire out of the primary results this year because the New Hampshire dems wouldnt move the date for the primary to when the dnc wanted. So sure you could vote in that primary, but nothing was done with the results. Straight to the garbage can with those ballots.

Russia says they have a democracy too, with votes and everything. Not saying we’re the same, but proving we have “democracy” by the fact that voting happens is not that firm of a thing. Its easily corrupted.

I dont think the electoral system allows for this “nobody” person to win. Maybe someone can change their legal name to “nobody”.

Schumer said his job is keeping the democrats in lockstep support of the state of Israel.

Well Russian travelers preferentail treatment while applying for European visas has been cancelled, so now they have to wait for visas like everyone else. So things are getting pretty serious.

“Russian citizens can still obtain Schengen visas to travel to Europe, but they may face a more challenging application process and potentially higher refusal rates. The EU has suspended the Visa Facilitation Agreement with Russia, meaning Russian citizens no longer enjoy preferential treatment when applying for visas”

Would it be fair to call it a “slamming?”

Biden’s attempt to help with Israel’s ethnic cleansing failed, but he did try.
