Trump is the best thing to ever happen for the 1%. People are more divided then ever, and the media doesn’t have to report on anything but him.

“What if we just doubled the price?” - some genius executive that never created a damn thing in their life

That only works for housing and healthcare.

"People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs."

I think corporations should be crushed so they are small enough to drown in a dirty used toilet.

I showed up because of the IPO at that one website.

Me, the laziest person ever, motivated to come here. Truly an accomplishment.

I’m glad you have peace in this life. For many, peace won’t come until they pass.

Does this person support electoral reform?

Switching away from first past the post voting makes third parties viable and eliminates the spoiler effect. Just search for videos on FPTP voting if you want an explanation on how and why first past the post voting makes third parties not viable.

Electoral reform is possible in each individual state (for now), we dont need federal reform! Maine and Alaska have already passed electoral reform actually.

So what’s the hold up with the rest of the states? Start a campaign in your own state! Force our representatives to compete with fresh outside ideas. We deserve the best representation, not excuses.

You know I remember reading some Republicans like first past the post voting. Should we keep using the voting system they prefer?
