      I will support the Ukraine war if you all go in-person to fight it.

      Until then, I’d much rather see those dollars spent here.

      Thanks.

            So official comes out and says, we are going to deploy as much military equipment possible using the money that Congress had appropriated for it. (Note Congress was held by a Republican majority). And people think Bidens administration is somehow spending money that could have been used for the American people… Where the Republican majority congress DID NOT appropriate it.

        You’ll support the Ukraine if I, a 47-year-old with severe health issues that can’t walk much more than half an hour without needed to rest due to them, who has never shot a gun in his life, and who has the flattest feet you have ever seen to go over to Ukraine and fight for them? (Oh, also I’m a coward so I would definitely get scared and run away.)

        I find it hard to believe that you would only support Ukraine if they allow people so obviously unfit for duty into their military.

              First Past The Post voting artificially limits the number of viable political parties to two. With state level electoral reform, people would be free to vote outside the two party system secure in the knowledge their vote would still be counted against those they don’t want in office.

              That said, I’m glad ukraine is getting more. Just wish this had happened 2 years ago. To answer your previous question:

              1. Free social housing for all.

              The for profit home building/loan industry has failed to do their job and all subsidies and benefits they enjoy must be stripped away. We should build the mega cities from judge dredd and run high speed rail from them to the nearest downtown metro.

              This is a housing crisis, start acting like it. Declare a national emergency, use the army core of engineers and eminent domain to build.

              Stop involving the people who helped create the housing crisis. Stop being held back by red tape.

              High rent and low wages, Mao what’s the worst that could happen?

                  How did you come to that conclusion? Also hello brand new troll account, you’ll be gone soon.

                  How’d you come to that conclusion? Also there’s more than one thing on every ballot. Where I live both local and state people are ranked choice votes so the oligarchy has a much harder time buying elections. Thanks California!
