Democracy is for people amendment

[Fred's Myth]

just because you can vote for them, doesnt mean you have a 3 or more party system.

What do you and Drivel In-Drivel Out require for an acceptable 3-party system? Parity? Represent the desires of the voters and you will achieve parity. Just because Socialism or BLM don't have equal footing doesn't mean multiple parties aren't being represented. It just means more people identify with, and affiliate themselves with the big 2.

I wish our national elections worked like our contract vote. Even if both parties offer a turd spray painted gold and have been thoroughly coopted by plutocrats we could just vote to send all of that right back and try again with a real offer.

Florida disenfranchises 1 in 10 adults & 1 in 5 black adults. That Jim Crow-era policy of permanently disenfranchising even those who have fully completed their felony sentences could almost entirely come to an end in November if Floridians vote #YesOn4

Barricades have been erected around the Capitol ahead of the Kavanaugh vote. Have been here 12 years and have never seen this for a vote.

Maybe if some people would stop throwing temper tantrums, there wouldn't need to be a wall stopping them from being able to harass the politicians before they vote.

isnt federal min wage low?

its also not hard for me to imagine because median wage is not that high. in addition to the assertions ive heard about poverty / near poverty.

Include all government bennies in that total. At least they are working.
