If the goal was actually stalling things, he'd have gotten more mileage not starting it at night, after all the real business had included. Could squeeze an extra half a day of RESISTANCE in there before...checks notes the Democrats help confirm yet another fascist piece of shit appointee into power.

Like I said. It was performative.

You do realize you just admitted to this being an assumption on your part, right? This is YOUR racism projecting onto this whole thing.

The fear of sexual assault that women share is not limited by skin color. They're not feeling at ease walking to their cars in a parking garage just because the man they see is white.

Seriously, do you even talk to women?

Decades? They had the presidency and both halves of Congress for the first two years under Obama and all they gave us was Mitt Romney's health care plan. And again during the first half of Biden's term.

The Democratic leadership keeps actively stopping attempts to corral the ability of congressmen to get rich off inside trading. They spent the whole campaign season last year supporting and assisting in a very public genocide. Trustbusting has basically been forgotten - we only have the illusion of choice in our much each industry from the media to even our food products are dominated by like 3-4 companies within it.

Whenever they do happen to get power, they do nothing with it, and then act surprised when they immediately lose it again.

Yup, you've realized your plan is stupid but decided you'll act haughty and bow out of the conversation all together to avoid admitting it.

Why would anyone make a movie if they couldn't at least support the cost of making the giving movie to begin with? Like, try thinking one step through your own idiotic idea.

MY wording?

You were the one claiming marvel movies weren't.

If it's still dark out and you haven't yet gone to sleep, it's still night.

I think they bumped up to 5th recently

Or, better idea, no parties like the founders intended

Breadlines ? That's socialism. Can't have that...

Your ideas got us here. With democracy hanging by a thread because both the corporate Democrats and Republicans spent decades weakening the lower classes to enrich themselves. How many 70-80% approval rating policy idea have the Democrats spurned over the years because it would mildly inconvenience their mega donors in the short term?

I think the gutting of school funding, and the adoption of an idiotic non phonics based reading curriculum that was sold basically by some grifter over the last few decades is more to blame. Also Bush's ~~no child left behind~~ Pass All the The Failing Kids Anyway plan.

I'm not sure what these numbers are measuring, but it looks like less than 85% of schools in the US reported their data, could be a sampling bias there. Also, this is maybe at age 15, when many of the worst readers have already dropped out of school.

It looks like most countries have shitty literary levels, then. I was unaware other countries were just as bad. A quick Google showed a few results not quite in agreement saying the average for adults was 7th-8th grade in the US, or that half were below 6th.
