I wrote an article earlier about homeschooling and how people in my state are trying to attack the very small about of funding available for parents who homeschool.

Within minutes there was an explosion of hatred toward the mere suggestion that public schools are failing children.

Elizabeth Warren is now pushing for the fed to drop rates. I can appreciate this short term goal of helping housing costs, but high rates keep corporate overreach in check

Everyone knows Trump is an idiot but he lets the corrupt do whatever they want. This is one of the groups that will take control of the government if he wins.

People need to recognize the risk is very real that he wins. Be aware of who these people are.

When people say the are worried about the "economy", everyone should ask what they mean because the consensus seems to be that the economy is something other than the stock market.

To the government, the economy is the stock market no matter how much they try to claim otherwise.

Based on the news, the right doesn't fight wars (yea...) and everyone should just accept dictators elsewhere, or we have the left that goes to war with bad people but never solves the problem.

For a long time, I’ve hoped to see justice through Trump going to jail, but it seems incredibly important now that he also loses horribly in the upcoming primaries. I realize this will increase the odds of a Republican winning, somehow, but all his cult members need to realize the dude is a monster.

The right seems so convinced by their own conspiracies theories, that when some new virus inevitably arrives, they'll all confidently inhale deeply.

In the world of conspiracies, the more interesting one is that the dumbest people have been convinced to eagerly infect themselves whenever needed.
