Bottom post of the previous page:
I'll be first to admit, the MC fucked the LP up. Basically a hostile takeover in Reno a few years ago. They went too hard, too fast. I think I've even mentioned it before that I was given a talkin' to by the NCLP.
I was told I was too radical and would no longer be a national delegate if I didn't fall in line. You can imagine how that conversation went. Cut to the end, I used my favorite Comrade quote and told them to "Get Fucked" and ejected.
B2 always annoyed me. He just wanted Zarnis approval. And his entire "Vote for Jo" Schick in 2020 irked me. As she was just as bad of a candidate as Trump or Joey in '20.
I still follow a lot of inside baseball shit in the party but think I've moved closer to Anarchist than Librarian. So that ensures I'll never get a political win. I'm smart.
RIP.

But good luck calling the LP, Nazis this year.
Chase totally stole the nomination in a deal that is so shady that state parties are backing RFK Jr. He's gheyer than Outtie and is all about transing the kids. Other than being white, he's your kind of fella.

I'm coalescing on a narrative that it's all neo-confederacy at its core. Like the civil war never ended, we just chose to fight like gentlemen for 150 years.
American style fascism.
The south rose again and the Gadsden flag is the new rebel flag.

If that's the case, bring the Stars & Bars back. Just looks so much cooler.

IRS Crackdown Nets Enough Revenue To Fund the Government for 90 Minutes
hmmmmm....
The Biden administration originally said the additional enforcement funding for the IRS would pay for itself by squeezing $316 billion in additional revenue out of American taxpayers. Separately, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that increased IRS enforcement would generate about $200 billion. It's probably right to be skeptical of that claim. One should also wonder if the country would be better off if that money remained in the hands of productive people rather than being swallowed up by the federal government.

I tried to post from reddit the other day how the IRS just collected a billion in back taxes.
And I don't have to wonder about the productivity of the money collected, money in circulation is always more valuable than money hoarded.

I remember you bringing it up, hence the post.
But this is a Systematically Racist Land?
Didn't fact check numbers or look for more recent data so relax you two Che Guevaras!

I'm also going to point out that the majority of Asian Americans live either on the Pacific coast where incomes are higher, in major cities where incomes are higher, or as business owners in the suburbs.
And that's assuming there's any truth to those numbers at all.

But if we want to talk about the systemic poverty of rural white people, I'm here with my West Virginia edjumucashun to weigh in on problems and solutions. None of which have anything to do with immigrants.

YOU. HONKEY LIPS!
In all seriousness, you do realize that there are far more racist countries in the world, with far fewer opportunities for POC, right? Can we at least agree on that?
