We should abolish the Senate, unlimit the House, and discard the 2 party system.
My views are my own.
Furthermore, white nationalism must be destroyed.

We're nearly a decade deep into politics driven by "vote-against".
We The People want something to vote FOR.
"Do you want (X) to win?" is not a policy position, it's a confession that the only alternative you're offering is "anti-(x) vibes".

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

Pundits scolding everyone mad at Chuck Schumer...
Dear Lord, STOP TALKING DOWN TO US.
It it unbelievably easy to see what happened here. There are only a handful of plausible scenarios and none of them cast Schumer in a good light.
People are mad for a reason. Feck off.

What a legacy is being left to future generations (if they survive) 😡😡
Well the target to remain below 1.5C above 1850 levels wasn’t created out of thin air.
The idea was to avoid finding out which tipping points exist and which thresholds we might breach.
By colossal failure we are about to find out.

There's an entire unified house caucus who's against the senate dems "deal"
To place a blanket blame on all dems is kinda irresponsible. Meanwhile dems in the senate have done done this twice to the house dems.

In the end, the Democrats essentially got nothing, and Trump notches another victory over opponents who convinced themselves that resistance is futile.
By folding, Democrats rewarded Trump’s hostage-taking and emboldened his bullying.

Well, one class of people are more worried about food than flights. They don't care about those people.

It is wild, if not surprising I guess, that whether people could fly somewhere at Thanksgiving seemed to have more political effect than whether people could *eat* at Thanksgiving.

Someone shares a delicious take on green bean casserole...
White people in the comments:
"Too much seasoning. All you need is salt and pepper."
"It should be drier than that."
"Why are you adding mushrooms & bacon?"
"Condensed soup is better than homemade roux and sauce."

Just tax the churches. Tax the nonprofits. Tax any entity that brings money in. "But what about this helpful church or that helpful nonprofit"
Trust me, the taxes we'll extract from the cheats would help just as much, if not more, than the loss in an honest nonprofit's revenue.

I think churches with revenue of more than $1,000,000 a year should pay a 10% tax, and churches with more than $5,000,000 in annual revenue should pay a 20% tax.
You can think I’m wrong about that, but I’m not.

ICE is out of control.
This week, ICE shot a canister of pepper spray directly into a family’s car — hitting a 1-year-old baby.
The family was shopping at Sam’s Club when the agents drove by and sprayed the chemical agent into the car with two young children inside.
Abhorrent.

When the economy was actually doing better, voters didn't feel it, and the media told Democrats that they should stop pushing back on it.
The economy is worse, voters feel it, and the media is allowing republicans to say "well, your feelings are wrong."
All media in this country is right wing.

Even if humans cut emissions enough to reduce global temperatures, new research shows the Southern Ocean could kick warming back into gear.
