See, this is actually a good point.

Alright man, so you are making crap arguments while cherry picking the parts of my comment you are responding to.

You don't need to be a congressional historian to understand why the Democrats haven't ended Citizens United. The real answer comes down to money and lobbying influencing their politics, as well as the filibuster stopping them the few times they have tried, such as when Bernie did in 2014. That would have been an actually valuable point that we could have discussions about.

Instead, you're too focused on belittling and insulting me to actually make a valid argument.

I could break down and respond to every convenient point in your comment and act like a petty little cunt too, but really it comes down to this

Should the Democrats have been railing about campaign reform at every speech from the moment the SCOTUS inflicted it on us? Yes. Yes they should.

This is pretty much my whole point.

Lol devolving into insults instead of making any kind of worthwhile point huh? I could call it a judgement or decision if that makes your panties untwist.

Point is, Dems had the house and Senate when it went into effect. They've had many opportunities over the years to do something about it, even if that something is just akin to what they are doing now. But it took a billionaire shadow president for them to even make noise about it. It's just virtue signaling.

Law, policy, a lifting of prohibitions, call it whatever you want dude, you haven't proved your point, you're just being pedantic.

The house and Senate were literally both controlled by the Dems when Citizens United became a law lmfao

Genuinely, why didn't they? Why didnt they do it when they had both the house and Senate? Are you somehow deluded into thinking this will actually go anywhere with the Republicans holding as much power as they currently are? This is just virtue signaling.

"foaming at the mouth!? How dare you!" Proceeds to spray foam fucking everywhere

Calling people "piss baby queers" is not helping your case.

But why would you want to complete a campaign of this game to begin with? What do you find appealing about the Fatal system?

There are so fucking many way more important things to be upset about right now.

What an asinine question. If the time for a revolution has truly arrived, my loved ones are already in danger. Their lives and way of life already at risk. It's funny how close we are to that point now, way closer than when this comment chain started. People are celebrating Luigi and you're still here trying to say blood shouldn't be spilled.

So there is definitely more to it as plenty of people have already explained, but when it comes to Elon and Rowling they both have personal reasons for their anti-trans beliefs. Rowling was sexually assaulted, and now finds the idea of, in her words, "men pretending to be women" utterly terrifying due to her PTSD, and is seemingly incapable of seeing trans women any other way.

Elon on the other hand went through a bunch of drama bs with his family, he's got at least one trans kid who has disowned him, and he spiralled out from there, eventually finding a place among the far-right Nazis who have only reinforced his preconceptions about trans people and trans kids.

No idea what the fuck Zuck's trans villain origin story is though.

You wear your glasses in the shower? I just grope around blindly.

 

Let's say you're a mega wealthy billionaire who has suddenly realized that if he cozies up close to a presidential candidate, he could have more power and wealth than ever before. What's stopping you from figuring out who the electorates are and offering them whatever they want if they vote for your guy? What's stopping them from taking the deal?

 

Title. I really like using the YouTube home page to find new content I'm not subscribed to since trending is hot garbage. I'd love to use the home page like I used to but have my browser redirect to piped after I click a video. Anyone have a solution?
