Yeah, you’re probably right. How much is that bridge?

So according to you, politicians aren’t allowed to express their opinions on any issue or propose any policies, unless they have the ability to foretell the result of all the upcoming elections, to know exactly who will be elected and if there will be enough support from the other 535 people needed for making laws. Got it.
So we will run on nothing and say nothing about any possible policies until we already know it has happened after the election, just to be safe. Dems will win in a landslide for sure, running on this message of we won’t say.
And I assume you are upset with every politician who ever proposed something that then didn’t happen. Bernie, AOC, how dare you mention single payer and then don’t make it happen.
Look, breaking a campaign promise would be if a politician is running for a position, that position has the power to do something and then they don’t do it. The president cannot make a public option out of thin air. It must be passed as a law. They have some influence for sure. But a broken campaign promise would be congress passed a public option, sent it to Biden’s desk, and then he vetoed it. That would be a broken campaign promise.
You’re getting downvoted but you’re right. Biden resisted 4+ years of pressure to support changes to the Supreme Court. During the 2020 debates he said he wasn’t in favor of them. Now that his campaign is falling behind, suddenly he’s announcing he’s in favor of term limits for Supreme Court justices even though that would likely require a constitutional amendment.
Biden has a longstanding tendency to be a stubborn old man. He supported the Hyde Amendment for decades but only when he was losing the primary badly in 2020 did he suddenly announce he no longer supported it. This is another last-minute promise to try and save his campaign. Biden defended credit card companies for decades (being a Delaware senator), suddenly seeing him flip and support tenants over corporations seems a bit out of his normal routine.
Hey quick thing. My cousin is trans.
Which party won’t demonize and potentially want this family member dead?
I’m gonna vote for that one.
Is that a maxi pad?
It’s amazing, it’s snowflaking https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/cldy39vpv4qo
Gotta appreciate the attempt but I don’t see this surviving a SCOTUS case unless Biden hits them with “fuck you I’m doing it anyways because you said I’m immune to consequences for it”
Also, it’s not a cap on the rent itself, but rather on how much it can be raised annually, seems watered down but the nordics do the same thing and it actually seems to work better than just straight rent control.
One clear downside, all rent goes up 5% every year going forward. Greedy assholes have to be greedy.
Yeah, but only 5%, that’s still much preferable to the shenanigans they’d pull jacking up the rent multiple times the current rate because they consider the lost revenue of it not being an Air BnB your responsibility to make whole.
Plus if it’s so predictable, it’s stable and can be accounted for instead of sweating an unpredictable rate hike.
Don’t know, Trump and the Reps seem pretty chill with Putin and also with Ukraine getting destroyed. That by itself would already be a reason for me to not vote Red, apart from the long list of other things
Next time I need to make a glaze, I’ll give you a call because that’s impressively reductive.
it’s not, actually, and that fact hasn’t changed since the last time you copy, pasted, and slightly realtered the same comment that got you banned on another instance (modlog)
Do not worry, Republicans.
Lots of India’s powerful families are into Hitler.
