POG Politics Thread Version 3
Come on in! Since Dustin is taking his ball and going home, it's time to start a new politics thread.
people who are actually making the world a better place are gonna be killed or put in prison by elected officials, like Bernie Sanders and mamdani
I mean right now extra judicial executions are being broadcast and bragged about(as if our corrupt judiciary would give any legitimacy anyway lol)... the drug boat drone strikes
and no one is doing **** about it. Bernie, AOC, whoever.
the **** with ice.
genocide in palestine
healthcare
infaltion
pollution
prison population
poverty
the list is just endless of all the obvious **** that basically everyone knows is awful, and we are supposed to have a govt by the people for the people. and people like Bernie prop up this system.
the Dem primary was stolen from him TWICE, and he just stfu and let it happen, and then went on to support the monsters who stole it from him, and stole it from the people.
we've seen this happen over and over with Dems. I'm assuming anyone like mamdani is the same until proven otherwise.
let me make some points that even Nazi mark k would agree with!
death penalty costs millions to prosecute.
Google says it costs 130k to keep someone in prison for a year in CA.
public school cost around 20k a year.
sooooo spend more on public education and you save money on prison.
and this **** with ice is terrible. I saw a debate between Reagan and bush, and they were to the left of Obama on immigration policy! mark might not know that Obama put kids in cages and broke the record(at the time) for deportations.
and climate change is killing the planet. like do something about that. please.
and genocide in Palestine is wrong
like these are just basic, obvious things that vast majority of everyone clearly sees as needing to be fixed. but it doesn't happen cuz our govt is fundamentally awful. if it wasn't fundamentally awful, they would be addressed, and/or would never happen in the first place
lol
Whew, those posts cleaned the sinuses.
Good morning Filthy!
good morning comrade!

The bolded is your primary flaw in logic.
sigh. you're probably right
Looks like Obama's fault.
if only more Germans embraced Germany as a country in the early 40s

here is how they think:
privatize the prison. privatize the school. we make money either way.
Just LOL at that. The problem is that they are too moderate.
And why the **** would anyone who isn't MAGA be proud to be an American right now?
how about ever? when was USA ever a country to proud of? ww2? avg lifespan of natives was like 42 at the time. segregation, concentration camps, nuking cities, firebombing cities, etc
looks to me like the decline started in 2016. 2012 to 2016 wasn't much movement. but also yes Obama did disappoint working people. he campaigned on hope and change lmao

sigh... I guess. but jfc man privatizing schools is so obv bad for society. I mean same with prisons, but I think less obv? and also more easily to separate yourself, like "well I'm never going to prison, so idc if it's horrifically unfair and awful"
The only public school I went to was kindergarten. Grade, High School, College and Grad school were private.
And look how normal I turned out! :p
if education is only for rich people, that is guarnanteed to ruin a society
My family was middle/lower income. Small 1200 sq foot house, Father worked, mom stayed home, 5 kids. Lots of debt.
But they definitely emphasized education.
sounds like you guys were not exactly billionaires, but also sounds like you owned a home? and could afford to have one parent stay home. that's way ahead of poor. and i'd also guess that you were one of the poorest kids in your school. and back then private school cost a lot less.
I went to public schools and private schools. some of the public schools I went to were a nightmare. I went to some public schools with rich kids, and they are great schools. some of the private schools I went to were absurdly good schools.
some of the kids at the public schools, couldn't afford food, coats, field trips.
some of the kids at private schools lived in mansions with servants
In western Pennsylvania, anyone could own a home. They were and are still pretty cheap. Nothing like California.
