Is fish considered meat?

We’re not sure what this all means for the fish sticks from deep in the freezer aisle, but from a definitions-based perspective, a fish out of water sure appears to be meat.

when asked whether they agreed with the statement that members of the opposing party are “not just worse for politics—they are downright evil,” 42 percent of both Republicans and Democrats responded “yes.”

Yikes, that’s a terrifying mentality for 42 percent of people to have, that’s downright ruinous to any attempts to salvage the democratic system.

Maybe they should stop having rallies where the crowd spontaneously bursts into chants about how I should be murdered. You know, meet me halfway and stop doing blatantly evil shit.

Maybe it shouldn’t be salvaged. It’s not as if people have the power under “representative democracy.”

Power is held by those who can afford to fund campaign propaganda, not by voters.

We can do better. Maybe try a more direct democracy with recall voted and bounded mandates.

IMO, Trudeau promising election reform then backsliding is a great example. There should have been a consequence.

True, 42% of the population thinking that way seems scary, but half of them are right.

The Democrats never tried to overthrow our democracy, or send tens of thousands of our troops to false wars to make rich people a little bit richer.
