Yeah I don't care for them. Had fun when I was a kid but that was before we all had computers in our pocket.

Nooooo, it'll be fiiiine.

People are allowed to own pets without knowing anything at all about responsible pet ownership. It's ficked up.

There's less people living in poverty today than ever before. We all carry around super computers that connect us with our loved ones at all times and contain all of human knowledge. If you're over 5'8 and weigh more than 145 pounds then you're physically better off than the average US soldier during WW2. Diseases that used to kill millions every year are now close to eradication.

Don't mistake your increased awareness of global issues as things getting worse. This is the best time in human history to be alive. Anyone telling you different is looking at a very specific aspect of the past with rose tinted glasses.

A Lib Dem official opposition would be amazing

I'm Canadian

Defending Taiwan against communist China has been US foreign policy since Harry Truman was in office.

I agree, and honestly a rebranding would go a long way to improving its appeal to the average person

If a democrat fucks up, that's big news because they're supposed to have their shit together and act in the best interest of all of us.

If a republican fucks up, that's expected. Any articles about that are like 'water is wet'. It's not informative because we all know, even the conservatives who vote for them, that they're in it for themselves and are out to get everyone else.

Lol no one wants war with another nuclear power.

I'm a different person. I'm not pissed, I'm just making casual conversation.

Communism and capitalism as they were described in the literature both died in 93 and 08 respectively.

Just like the current capitalist system in the US cannot function without massive subsidies and bailouts, I'd imagine the current communist systems require private enterprises to keep parts of their system functioning.

Does the United States having food stamps and public education make it a socialist country?
