The problem is capitalism. Nothing should be sold for profit if its absence can kill you. Liberalism is foolish and conservatism is evil but nothing is worse than fascism. A better world is possible.

I remember when the USA women's soccer team was repeatedly more successful and popular than the men's team and I snarked that meant that good capitalists would pay the women more. That didn't go over well.

The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard

The importance of salmon might be a novel idea to the Lower 48, but every Alaskan understands. Fish is how we feed our families, drive our economy, and sustain our way of life. I’m the only candidate fighting for our fisheries, not the factory trawlers.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Missouri's Amendment 3 would restore an abortion ban with limited exceptions, but its ads focus on a different provision: banning gender transition care for minors. The campaign website never explicitly states it would repeal the constitutional right to abortion voters approved 2 years ago.

This! We would not even be in this mess AT ALL if Biden's DOJ had aggressively gone after Trump on day one. Hell, we may never have even got Trump if Obama's DOJ had done the right thing and locked up every war criminal in the Bush Admin. Dems need to be aggressive as hell if they win.

if democrats win one of the biggest strains will be the drive to hold them accountable for holding trump and the gop acountable. every time for the last 40 years when the dems have won they took their foot off the gas and we suffered. we must push them and their boot-licking defenders.

I still think all the award winning game developers downsized by corporate stupidity should get together and form their own studio and publisher and crush their idiot former bosses. If Mark Cuban and Nick Hanauer etc really are such savvy investors maybe they should lend them a billion dollars.
