Presumably because the US electorate isn’t actually leftist or progressive in general and losing swing states wouldn’t be balanced by extra votes in safe blue states.

The US isn’t causing the genocide in Gaza and it will if anything be exacerbated if we bring in Trump to support Bebe
You really find someone who has promised to herd immigrants into what will certainly become death camps and crash the US economy whilst ending democracy equally bad as business as usual?
Trump has literally said he would end democracy. Third parties literally by design are either irrelevant or destroy the party they are most like because of the electoral college. Trying to prevent a situation in which a third party acts as a willing pawn to spoil an election is pro democratic in terms of leading to an outcome that is desirable to a larger portion of the electorate.
Those down ballot victories wont mean much in an environment where we have carved out the heart of our democracy and replaced it with dictatorship. Also the problem with the policy positions that would allow Democrats to win n green voters are also such that adopting them would cost >n moderates which is why people haven’t adopted those positions mercenary though they are.
The green voters should adopt a pragmatic strategy whilst pushing for stuff like ranked choice voting or some such at the state level which would allow them to actually win federal office something they haven’t done in 40 years!
That isn’t how any of this works. My health has been bad for years I don’t have much to lose by putting live squirrels up my ass and setting my hair on fire! See how fucking stupid that sounds? When circumstances are especially bad there is more not less need for wise leadership.
Well once upon a time xp through 7 at least clicking start menu and starting to type the name of an app worked really well rather than resulting in some weird as web search opened in edge searching for no reason for what you had typed. I’m 100% sure there is some 3rd party launcher that still works as well as the start menu did before they ruined it. If I still used it I would probably install that.
The App menu in Cinnamon (Linux Mint) Also has the same binding and like older windows actually works well too.
whites and blacks have equal rights and the same opportunities available
untrue
skin color alone should not be the basis for aid. If some one needs help, help them.
There is actually a lot more extra help granted to white people especially the well off than will ever go to black people. There is a higher proportion of white people in Harvard now who wouldn’t have made it purely on merit than any other race. In a less shitty environment maybe being colorblind would actually make sense. In actuality it decreases fairness.
Clearly the current systems are not helping, despite all the aid given to them.
The actual aid that is available to families is largely a joke
why work harder for less, when I can live off government aid
You actually largely can’t you would end up living with the hobos on the cardboard if you without any disability decided not to bust your fucking ass.
Asian/Ellis Island era European immigrants didn’t have the same aid, and 80 years later Asians are among the most successful groups, or at least average.
80 years ago isn’t today. 80 years ago jobs that paid 50k didn’t require 100K in debt while houses cost $400k.
You are basically a KKK member without a hood.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office found the safety benefit too small to quantify that it exists.
One can be pro manufacturer and seller facing regulation which ensures a vital baseline level of safety when there is a strong incentive for sellers to sell cheap unsafe cars without wanting government to do individual inspections on the consumer level. The logical argument is that the benefit of the former is massive and accrues to everyone whilst the benefit of the latter is very modest.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office found the benefit too small to quantify for example. Even when the US withheld highway funds based on rolling out such a policy only 31 states implemented. Now that that stick no longer exists only 16 states do so. Washington which does not has a better safety record than 10 of the 16 which do. Furthermore WA is considering in HB 1513 forbidding police offers from making traffic stops for equipment violations, except to “protect against an immediate, serious threat” to safety. No more hurr durr you have an issue with your car that’s why I’m stopping you and searching you for drugs cause I smelled something funny.

For most people yes. My perspective is that I really don’t want government inspecting every car on the road because those kinds of issues aren’t a meaningful part of the risk I undertake on the road which is dominated almost entirely by incompetence, failure to follow traffic laws, old people who shouldn’t be driving anymore, and morons using their phones while driving.
Perfect performance thus isn’t meaningfully expected to improve my safety but it will cost me money.
In addition to issuing tickets officers all over the country take the opportunity to seize what they in their sole judgment regard as suspicious amounts of cash without benefit of a trial or charges. Many such seizures are in the mere hundreds of dollars with the average seizure only $1200 and the legal cost to reclaim such is usually in the thousands so people are left without recourse. Even when the money is reclaimed there is no punishment for officers for essentially robbing the populace.
In the last 20 years they have taken about 70B from citizens mostly without actually charging the person they stole from and disproportionately from minorities.
Regarding the victims, many people especially contractors prefer to deal in cash and frequently carry a significant amount of cash on hand to purchase goods and pay help. Others transport large quantities of cash from their business or to make large purchases particularly used cars purchased from owners instead of dealerships.
Gas stations actually make almost all of their money on things other than gas that people buy while they are at the gas station. It’s true that people wouldn’t come to existing gas stations nearly as much if they weren’t buying gas but they could make as much or more from users charging.
The real problem from their perspective is how infrequently users may need such especially if they charge at home and the cost of charging infra which is always in addition to gas not instead of
Maybe if you hate things because people recommend them instead of what they are good or bad for then you are ignorant
The rate of burglary is 271 per 100k per year in the US but nobody doubts it exists. If the rate of weasels ripping off deposits was 1 in 20 which is incredibly high and you sampled 10 instances the chance of getting zero is 0.95^10. That is to say the chance that someone would rent 10 times in such a market and not have someone try to rip you off is ~60%. Your sample size isn’t meaningful even if it were random.
Always makes me wonder what other people do to their houses to fuck them up so bad.
You figured people must all be doing damage to lose their deposit. Lots of people don’t understand what their rights are or what to do to protect them because the poor are habituated to the reality that they don’t have much in the way of rights.
If you are on the bottom of the food chain there are basically no good things compared to other developed nations. I would shred my citizenship docs for a better choice.
Here let me help you. Landlords vary wildly in quality and decline quickly as you go down in price furthermore being ignorant of your rights or lacking in options due to money are both easy routes to getting fucked. Not understanding that people pretty regularly get fucked out of their deposits because you haven’t is like wondering why other people get raped when you have avoided it.
hey aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant
Yes lots of landlords here just steal it as a matter of course. The US is basically a garbage country with a great military.
You can’t get to a progressive candidate this way. A more progressive candidate is going to pull votes more from the left than the right. If you project the results at the point where the progressive candidate starts to matter they just tank the Democrat.If they take 80% of Democratic voters they just lose every state.
