Reduced from 40 to 36 hours is in the right direction, but it’s still a 5 day work week.

If you would prefer a socialist party candidate the most logical choice is to pick whatever Democratic/Republican candidate is most willing to enact voting method reform, e.g. ranked choice voting.

Because voters are incentivized to pick one of two main parties in the current method, third parties are essentially guaranteed never to get off the ground.

Yeah and the senators who ratified women’s right to vote were all elected by men but they still did the ethical thing.

At least Sanders seems to want to reduce billionaires’ disproportionate influence on politics.

Maybe you’re ok if Elon Musk’s opinion on how much you should get taxed counts a billion times more than yours, but you really shouldn’t be.

It is ironic, but if this was the case we would probably just see the Republican party shift to be more moderate and collect more votes. Not a bad thing IMO. Cultivating extremism is bad for democracy.

According to this: https://www.wkrg.com/alabama-news/lakeith-smith-resentencing-alabama/

The time was for two charges, theft/burglary and felony murder. The resentencing set the prison term to 30 years, effectively setting the sentence for felony murder alone at 5 years.

Probably he’s on a diet and his wife won’t let him eat more than 1 order of meatballs.

Also he tricked the ents into walking past Isengard so that they’d see how many trees Saruman whacked and take an ax to him instead.
