Can you think of any realistic benefit to a manned mission to Mars?
Bringing back samples would be an amazing feat, and that seems a worthwhile mission. Having a human onboard seems to complicate things far more than any data that would give us would be worth.
Have you shopped for groceries in the last 5 years? See one cashier watching 4 self check out lanes? Then how could you still believe this?
Don't you feel so much more Freedom™ now that your state government can decide whether or not a pregnant person get healthcare, instead of just leaving it up to her and her doctor? We need to stop the tyranny of the Federal government just deciding carte blanche that any two consenting adults can get married and let communities decide whether to allow miscegenation or if your local community prefers to put a bounty on the heads of mulattos and quadroons. /s
My four fathers died to protect my right to travel upon the land in an uninsured non-roadworthy private conveyance! /s
This is what gets me the most about SovCits.
You don't like the state's monopoly on violence and don't feel like you shouldn't have to follow rules you didn't agree to? Sure, that makes sense.
But thinking there are magic words that will make the state give up it's ability to do violence and let you do whatever you want... that's just crazy.
Ah, I get it. Really interesting, thanks!
a candidate should work to appeal to 100% of their voter base
Less a proposal and more of a fact: People won't vote for a candidate who does not support the issues that they support. You can't expect a voter who is against fracking to vote for a candidate who supports fracking.
If Kamala supports fracking and the majority of voters do not, it is up to her to change, not the voters.
i consider this a voter skill issue
Yeah... Democrats want to blame the voters so they can continue to court wealthy donors. If everyone in Michigan promises to "Vote Blue No Matter Who" then they can continue arming Israel without losing any Muslim votes. Unfortunately that's not how things work.
Cool! Are there different Finnish accents? Geographic, socioeconomic, or otherwise?
Granted, I think a human stomach is more difficult to traverse than a frog, and it's more likely that it came in the back door. I'm just not willing to rule it out.
i mean that's a fair statement, but she wouldn't be running on fracking if she thought it was detrimental, so it's either not a huge concern for most voters, or there is something more than being let on in the rhetoric here.
You're begging the question here. If Democrats paid attention to their voters we wouldn't be having this conversation. Generally, critics of Dem strategy believe that they are too beholden to wealthy donors.
Democrats blame Jill Stein for Clinton's loss. But Dems can't force her not to run again, or people not to vote for her. If Kamala doesn't win, it will be because she didn't convince enough people to vote for her, not because Jill Stein is running.
The signal to noise ratio is so low these days. There's so much information out there but everyone wants to profit from you before you can get it. Even worse, the people with good information generally can't buy as big a megaphone as the people who profit from lying to you.
Honestly, I think humans have been more likely to believe an easy lie than a hard truth all along, but it's easier than ever these days.
I love the aesthetic. I fully support Art Deco public transportation.
A bus designed by someone who absolutely hates public transportation is pretty funny though. "I wish these seats faced each other so I could sit knee to knee with a stranger." -Nobody Ever
And there's so little passenger space, they have a "luggage" compartment in the front. So I suppose I'm just supposed to put my bag there, out of my sight, then hope nobody takes it before I get off?
