And why would people go out and vote if we’ve spent our time highlighting how our candidate options suck?

Meh. Every culture has a variation of “stuff stuffed in dough”. Pierogi are just ravioli which are just samosas.

It’s ok to not understand. But if you get a free moment, go back and re read the thread. I’ll summarize.

FPTP means you vote AGAINST who you hate more, not FOR a candidate. Failing to vote is a vote for the worst candidate. Nit picking problems of politicians who are mostly good is counter productive, especially when we have literal Satan and his hoard of demons running the country. Focus where you spend your time. Focus on fixing the worst parts.

you end up paying more the more money you have.

No, you pay the more you spend. This incentivizes hoarding wealth in investments.

Flat taxes are regressive. The poor pay a much larger percentage of their disposable income because necessities are a larger percentage of their income.

If someone makes $1k a month and it costs $1k a month to live, how is it fair that we charge them the same amount of tax as someone who makes $2k and spends $1k to live? We’re forcing that first person to suffer so the second person can hoard.

Great. Now we’re giving the bots autism?

Ah. It’s a trans positive tale.

I stole it. No idea from where :-)

Nah, it’s just that when a conversation devolves into personal insults I know that I’m correct and the other person has given up.

And god forbid we try and learn from that and do better, amirite?

Trust me. The two cents of your taxes that go to help you neighbors isn’t making your debt worse.

Now the billions going to the already rich…

It’s not misinformation. It’s explaining that if you want to off someone, proving murder with a car is much more difficult. You have reason to be driving a car. You have less reason to be brandishing a gun.

Thank you Urban Dictionary. I didn’t need to know this.

Best? They don’t pay the best, I don’t work the best. Act your wage.

Shenanigans. This is fear mongering and will just lead to people not bothering to vote.
