I refuse to vote for Sanders…

Because I don’t live in his state so I’m not allowed to.

He’s done great work convincing progressives that the best way to change the Democratic party is from the inside, and I hope it continues.

I see it more that he’s progressive despite his personal biases, which is admirable.

Great, now I’ll never not notice how many brand names are baby sounds

I see, so it’s the naval version of the stick battles on the Indian border

I don’t think capitalism is to blame for a King’s vanity project

The underlying issues that fuel that anger

Fox News and AM Radio

All of it. I want the AFU to have so much US-supplied ordinance that it makes Helldivers look prophetic

Saudi Arabia got appointed the chair to try to shame them into doing better, it’s not because the UN is anti gender equality

It’s not that it can be measured forever, it’s just that it refuses to match up with any line on the ruler.

For a line of length pi: it’s somewhere between 3 or 4, so you get a ruler and figure out it’s 3.1ish, so you get a better ruler and you get 3.14ish. get the best ruler in existence and you get 3.14159265…ish

Thanks for pointing it out.

Who did the study anyway? CAP?

Studies in Comparative International Development (SCID) is an interdisciplinary journal that addresses issues concerning political, social, economic, and environmental change in local, national, and international contexts.

The journal has a tradition of presenting critical and innovative analytical perspectives that challenge prevailing orthodoxies. It publishes original research articles on all world regions and is open to all theoretical and methodical approaches.

I didn’t waste my time studying a study

If checking before you spout something incorrect is “wasting your time”, then why should anyone take what you say seriously?

It took me way less long to check than it did to write this comment, who’s wasting time here?

According to one study 🙄

A study that samples 148 different articles, I’m sure you reviewed a good selection of them before you came to a different conclusion than the study did, right?

It’s not like you just named 6 very different politicians and claimed they’re all the same because “neoliberal”, that would be exactly my point.

According to one study of 148 scholarly articles, neoliberalism is almost never defined but used in several senses to describe ideology, economic theory, development theory, or economic reform policy. It has become used largely as a term of abuse and/or to imply a laissez-faire market fundamentalism virtually identical to that of classical liberalism – rather than the ideas of those who attended the 1938 colloquium.

Neoliberalism = liberalism I don’t like

General Buck Turgidson

General Norman Schwarzkopf Jr.

It sounds to me like that’s the perfect time to elect a new president, one suited for the times

Can’t wait for public opinion?

The entire point of protesting is changing public opinion to your side!

The reason is one half of our elected officials want the tax paying process to be as difficult as possible

Where to learn how to protest? I’d look into the great ones of the modern age: The Indian Independence, US Civil Rights, and Gay Rights movements are all good examples of effective protest movements.

You’re referencing well planned and executed protests. They picked their targets and actors to garner sympathy from the public.

The difference is that the original post is claiming that any protest anywhere is just as valid. It isn’t. Blocking random roads does nothing but turn people who just want to get to work against you. They aren’t agents of Capitalism moving to oppress us, they’re your neighbors and the people you want to be turning to your cause.

By all means, if you’re agitated about an issue to protest, please do. Block a road, maybe. But be damn sure you pick the right road to block.

It’d need some pretty strong regulation, but it could work out very well
