Child hunger in America

Any child going hungry in the USA is doing so because he/she is being abused. The only thing that will help that situation is to remove him/her from the abusers.

The broader point I’m making is comparing 1960’s parties to 2020’s parties doesn’t make sense. They’re nowhere near the same in anything but title because coalitions move.

The Democrats today are exactly the same. There's virtually no difference. They have the exact same goals and are using the exact same tactics. The last actual KKK member in elected office was Robert Byrd. Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden both considered him a mentor, and they speak highly of him. He died in 2010, which also happens to be the first year the state of Alabama started to be run by Republicans.

I understand her decision, but man this is a huge loss. She has been Killing it.

Every time a leftist pretends Derek Chauvin was guilty of doing anything wrong to George Floyd, he/she proves he/she has no interest in justice.

Trump was easily going to win this lawsuit. His privacy was violated. I'm sure you cheered when it happened. I wish he had taken it all the way instead of settling, because we need the government to lose a lawsuit like this, embarrassingly, to prevent the same thing from happening to others. I guess this settlement will have to do.

A completely average, normal Democrat proved just the other week at the correspondent's dinner that this is absolutely needed. Good luck with your delusion otherwise.

Israel? oook

ETA: BTW, that whole Trump's tax returns leaking thing? That's much closer to whatever dystopian future you believe you're living in than what is actually happening today.

Jeez. Never thought I'd see a debate where Bernie won.

That video makes the libertarian position seem like absolutely moronic anarchy.

17th amendment would have been better off to make our legislature unicameral and prevent this representative cap at 435 we've been in since 1929. imo gerrymandering is only as important as it is because of that rep to population imbalance.

You are absolutely correct here. No doubt about it.

Probably would have more parties represented also.

And you, Fat Kid, are exactly the type of person that is a danger to the democracy. You can’t debate rationally, you can’t see any fault in your side, you just want to blame the other side for all that is wrong in the world. That’s not helping. Your party can do no wrong, you are pure as the driven snow. It is exhausting and maddening to try to discuss and debate rationally because you aren’t rational.

---

You just called for revolution because Republicans are now using the same gerrymandering tactics Democrats have always used, all while completely ignoring the truthful statements I've made itt. You have no business pretending to be rational.

This inevitably means lower property values.

My position is political gerrymandering, racial gerrymandering, it doesn’t matter: it is poison to the legitimacy of the system.

It is as wrong that rural Californian conservative gets their voice marginalized as it is that urban, center-to-liberal-leaning Southern population centers often get marginalized with similar sort of strategies.

Gerrymandering has essentially been a bug in the US political system since the beginning. The argument that one side is really at fault and the other is innocently responding in kind is ahistorical spin.

---

That's nice. I don't disagree with you in principle, but gerrymandering is allowed, and clearly legal, under our system of government. It would be stupid for a state not to utilize it. Standing on principle while the whole ship sinks around you is stupid.

ETA: Until there's a constitutional amendment forcing districts to be drawn by geographical footprint and population, this is what we will have.

Such an amendment would never happen because it would mininize the Democrat party and give full control of the House to Republicans for generations.

ETA2: You are wrong on one point though. This is something Republicans have not used until now. The only reason this is news now is because Trump forced them to start playing the game correctly. Now that they are, Democrats want to pretend Republicans started it. That is simply false.
