A gov is not in charge of economics. They can influence but there are a lot of factors. Are you supportive of universal health care, even if you have to wait 8 hours in an ER? Are you willing to give up ur cushy private care? Will you pay higher taxes to ensure better social programs?
Dude, you bitched about ur rights but me being exposed to at age 8, harassed and catcalled as a tween, and worse shit,I don’t count. Your issues important, mine aren’t. Got it. I support Trans women and men and am devastated that people allowed Trump to come to power. Now go the F away
I’m not even fucking American. I’d love to hear how I compromised with the right from a country with universal healthcare and 18 months maternity leave. Good luck to you. I’ll keep strategic voting where I am so we can keep the far right at bay.
First off I’m not American. Secondly as someone from a different country I always viewed democrats as right of centre. New deal was a point in time. Post war so it made sense. Also immigration helped build the middle class + needs of the country for workers at the time. It’s a different economy now
I was harassed as a girl. Exposed to. Catcalled. If I were American, I’d still vote for any democrat, even HRC, and we all know what Bill was like. Because the alternative, from a policy perspective, is so much worse. I would have voted for a soap dish to keep out Trump.
You will not win unless you find middle ground with centrists. That’s just the reality. And the Trumps of the world will continue to run up the middle. Trust me, I live in a third party state. The party on the left barely hanging on.
But most people will vote for a centrist. In Canada when the centrist and the left split the vote, the right wins, sometimes with a majority. The centrist is better than right. They won’t F with abortion or healthcare or all our rights. You are more likely to be able to shift a centrist than Trump
The multi party system hasn’t been great. It’s often split the vote on the left and allowed the right to win. BUT there’s always a chance of a minority government which has less power and I guess this way people will be heard.
I think you’ll find most politicians are problematic in some way. By not voting in the last election, people become complicit in Trump’s victory. They knew the danger.
For sure. It’s not a perfect system, clearly no one wants to strategically vote but it’s reality. And not accepting it to me is too dangerous. But I’m white middle class so it doesn’t affect me. I think those who refuse to strategically vote look a lot like me.
Yup, most politicians kinda suck though. So I don’t know who they are waiting for.
I never said he was running for office. But this is what happened with Kamala too. And yeah, sometimes you have to settle, or you get Hitler. That’s how it works when you don’t vote or throw your vote.
As a Canadian, I don’t understand why people are against voting people out vs in. Maybe it’s a three party system thing but I have often voted for someone who isn’t perfect to keep out someone worse when a third candidate doesn’t have a chance.
Maybe it’s a three-party system thing but I’ve usually voted to keep someone out.
As someone watching from Canada, do Americans not understand strategic voting? I’ve been doing it all my life.
We don’t need California wines. We have France, Italy, chile, New Zealand, plus Ontario and okanagan.
Gross take. It was never merit based.
Don Jr posted a meme of Trump on the White House roof throwing a green dildo at WNBA players Talk about a despicable p!ece of sh!t? That’s how much respect this administration has for women. And Republican women absolutely love these a$$h@les.😡🤬 meidasnews.com/news/don-jr-...
It’s all strategic. You try being a mouse sleeping by an elephant as PET once said. Regardless Canada is not for sale, although the US can have the maple magas.
Ironic: Russia posts up a catalogue of stolen children from Ukraine, which they are in the process of trafficking, immediately Trumpstein decides he wants to rekindle the Bromance with Putin in Alaska. Birds of a feather flock together.
As a Canadian, over our dead bodies.
On Aug. 9, 1945, 17-year-old Koichi Tagawa survived the Nagasaki bombing and began a diary. His words captured the fire, the loss and the moment he became an orphan. 👉 ebx.sh/Jbrmqq
In light of this week's Hockey Canada trial verdict, it's worth listening to the young woman who was raped by Jacob Hoggard and is still in therapy from the trauma of that trial.
Yes, this is a good thing as infuriating as it is for us who have always despised Rogan. I wish people were smarter but here we are. Young men/frontal lobe issues

Trump on 51st State: “Canada needs America’s protection from countries like America”
And yet Canada gets the send off. Yeah ok🙄
8 players and most of your goal scorers — Bennett, Rodrigues, Reinhardt, verhaeghe, the rat
As a woman, I can honestly say, I have not.
The Trump Administration's forcible removal of Senator Padilla today is un-American and unacceptable. Our elected officials have a right — and a duty — to conduct oversight of President Trump's abuses of power. As much as the administration wants to silence dissent, we the people won't back down.
All Senator Padilla wanted was to do his job and get the questions his constituents had answered — instead, he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is Donald Trump's America, where they attack our freedoms. We cannot be intimidated or scared by their abuses of power.
They are being deliberate. They keep claiming she wore stilettos, which she did not. But I don’t trust the judge to know the difference.
100% this. None of the defense claims make sense. And the way the defense lawyers fabricate the facts (she wasn’t wearing stilettos, the Uber claims) is gross.
You ask them. Are you ok with performing this specific act? No? Ok let’s get you home safely. Period, end of story.
I was flabbergasted by that too. Does the judge live under a rock?
It says abc news. And I saw it with my own eyes right after the attacks
Jfc I am sickened
People won’t trust courts or parties. They won’t believe evidence. They’ll be certain their side is right, no matter what reality says. That’s not disagreement. That’s epistemic fracture. And once it sets in, it’s nearly impossible to reverse.
Good morning, Caturday.
This!
I will do that. I’m so sorry
Actually I read the Geneva convention definition. I wouldn’t say Israel was established with genocidal intent. What I will say is you can support the existence of a Jewish state and still oppose Netanyahu. And that’s all I will say further on this.
Glad Phantom found you!
This is how I figured out it was about controlling women. When I realized no one cares about kids who are hungry or can’t get healthcare. They literally only care about life in the womb. As a woman, this realization was terrifying.
Louisiana lawmakers, preaching "pro-life," just blocked rape exceptions for girls under 17. Protect life, they say, while chaining child victims to trauma. Truly, their compassion is a fortress of mercy, towering over broken lives like a gilded cage. #3E
I’m so sorry. As a non-Jewish person who studied history, I find the anti-semitism shocking. I’m not sure the education system is doing its job.
This is why it’s not genocide. Do you understand?
Jews literally lived in Israel for thousands of years too. I’m not saying Netanyahu is a good guy but to say Jews don’t belong in Israel is wrong.
Again, anti-Semitic. And really, you abide by everything in the Bible? Do you stone adulterers too?
I’m sorry you’re dealing with this asinine shit.
This statement too is antisemitic. Put any other minority group in this sentence and read it again. Maybe that will help you
No countries or borders…. Except in Palestine? That makes sense.🙄
This is anti semitic and untrue: They have been trying to kick out the people living in the country for 3000 years. Way before the US ever got involved.
Did you know Israel was attacked after declaring independence by 5 Arab nations? That there were already Jews in the region which grew when the Jews were fleeing persecution in Europe? Then after 1948 more Jews came because they were kicked out of Muslim countries? It’s not so black and white.
Celebrating the killing of Jews because they are Jews is antisemitic. Anti Zionism means you don’t think Israel has a right to exist; in my view that’s also a problematic view.
What question? There was no question? Anyway, bye!
It was on CNN and abc. Also I saw it with my own eyes the day it was broadcast. I was an adult. It was because the US supported israel (the only democracy in the region) but it did happen. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...
It was at Damascus Gate. It aired on several newscasts and then was removed. Here is some of the video: youtu.be/P9yK0u-XH1M
Wow, that’s so antisemitic. Bye!
It is anti semitism to hate all Jews and applaud terrorist attacks against them, whether in Israel or elsewhere. Did you applaud after 9/11? Because Palestinians did.
It wasn’t founded on genocide. Not like the Americas. Israel was created by the west in 1947 because the Jews had nowhere to go and 6 million were murdered; they went home and were immediately attacked.
You’re seriously sick. Attacking innocent people is never the answer. I would look inward and think about why you hate Jews so much. Just because they are Jews. You know a lot of terrorist groups hate Americans too. Was 9/11 also justified in your view?
More like they were kicked out. The anti semitism is shocking here
You try to keep up. Israel has supported a two-state solution. So did Arafat at one point. Then hardliners came in. And Hamas. Suicide bombs, missile attacks on Israel, etc.
By Zionists, you mean people who believe Israel has a right to exist?
Wow, so terrorism —killing of innocent people — is ok with you? Gross
As a non-Jewish white person, this is how I see it.
100%.
Is this what you said after 9/11? It was warranted because of American policy in the Middle East?
A minor, well regarded celebrity just got murdered in broad daylight in a homophobic hate crime. I see the intensifying fascist rhetoric against minorities and the LGBT is having it's intended effect.
This is absolutely gut wrenching.

And also make future predators think again.
Not all men I hope. My husband definitely agrees with me and I’ve told my son that a drunk girl cannot consent, end of story
I don’t know why you’re being deliberately obtuse but if they were women suffering domestic abuse I hope you would understand why they wouldn’t just walk away. Now leave me alone
She was crying and wanted to leave, she got slapped, was spit on… and you don’t think it’s rape.
If only he cared more before he had a daughter
Really like the use of the word “pretending” here. I believe it’s exactly that
Perhaps but for all the wrong reasons
Right? Stop crying man, and own your shit
Yeah right. Suing an abuser who was so powerful. Because that works so well
But how do we reverse this curse? I may need my nonna’s cornicello
This. If the games were tighter, if we had shots, I think they would be cheered. They weren’t booed in the sundin years.
There were no shots by Leafs in the first 10 mins and I still heard go leafs go. And the tailgate was packed. But fans are tired of 60 years of losing. So I disagree that they suck. I’m impressed we the fans stick around every year
Since 1967. Before that there were more
No tkachuks please
I don’t think you can blame this on the fans.
Matthews doesn’t want to play here
I do hope shanny is gone
Can Shanny go too.
This is the issue. So what happens next? Marner goes? Tavares?
No
You cannot consent if you’re drunk. That’s why the defense lawyers are trying to argue she wasn’t drunk. Look I’m probably the same size she was at that time. Trust me if I did any shots at all, I would be drunk. And it’s common for women to just go along when they feel they have no choice
Gross take
The video consent happened after not before.
There are not a ton of people who would pick journalism as a career because the pay sucks. And it’s incredibly unstable too. It’s not like banking or law.
