    So... is anybody else tired of the fucks in Washington suggesting that they aren't the direct cause of this bullshit? Holding back funding for vital services which benefit average everyday Americans is...

    Oh well, can't expect the Orange pedo and his cult to actually apply critical thinking, can we?

    Perhaps if Josh Shapiro was nominated instead of Kamala, we would not have Trump again.

    We should just have an automatic cut of 5% if a budget can not be turned in on time and keep the government running. People would rather work for 95% their pay than being furloughed or fired.

    Can you imagine if the Anerican political system was advanced enough to have the concept of a vote of no confidence? Too bad most Americans simply don't care.

    We dont have a British styled system where we could just reject our congress and force a new election. It would be easier if we had a parlimentary system.
    I would like it to be 5 year terms for members of the house, and 7 year terms for senators. Maximum of 4 terms for the senate.

    we would not have equal marriage rights for non straight people if stuff like proposition 8 was intact because the majority wanted to ban it for non straight people.

    Marriage was a way of guaranteeing an income for women in a world where they were not allowed to go to school or work. Back then, it would have been not very clever for a woman to marry another woman. And on the other hand, men coming home from work didn't have any instant food to put into the microwave or a machine for cleaning their clothes. Marriage became unimportant, that's what really changed.

    Marriage became an outdated concept to a modern populace.

    The concept itself, in my opinion, is still important for
    a lot of reasons.

    I didn't like Meg Whitman's politics, but she did say one thing that
    resonated.

    Get rid of marriage as a political instrument. The government should
    deal in domestic partnerships without religious requirements or
    overtones.

    If your church wants to marry you, go ahead - but it shouldn't be a prerequisite for forming an economic/emotional partnership with someone,
    and it shouldn't have a difference on your legal rights as a
    partnership.
