you literally just described generating wealth when you said "improve themselfs and their surroundings" and then went on to say its an antithesis... this makes no sense.
Most people confuse "generate wealth" with "aquire money"... these are totally different things with very little related to eachother... You can move wealth around, you can aquire wealth... but unless you provide a utility to the world you arent generating wealth.
@jaysonmassey I agree it is an embarrassment, I also agree that it is the result of bad choices of us as a nation... I wouldnt say its quite as reductive as you lay out out to be though... but more or less agree.
Cheese burgers and houses **are** wealth... Based on your wording you are confusing "wealth" (things that have utility and value) and money..
If you have profit alone, then you just are moving money around.. you arent generating wealth (or money)... in order to generate wealth you must increase the overall number of things in society with utility... So yes what i said already was in line with what your saying, you just are using wealth in the way of "collecting wealth" which is not the same as "generating wealth".
> The people who actually create those things should be the wealthy in a just society, not the people who were born to it.
Agreed, like the people who sacraficed decades to create the idea, get funding, investing in the building, getting the money to pay people to do the labour, etc... yes the owners who risk everything and actually create the wealth are the people who should be wealthy.
I think a lot of people disconnect and stop caring to remain sane... nothing wrong with that.
Yup, they would be quite surprised after they destroy the biggest wealth producers in society and trigger massive starvation and death for everyone... good intentions dont get you very far, least of all when you do the exact opposite of whats best for society.
That isnt to say that there arent issues to address with the rich, there are, but if your going to eliminate rich people all together, you might as well just cover yourself in honey and go hug a bear, your chance of coming out of it with something positive to show would be much higher.
I want everyone to have the easiest life possible... the problem is a lot of people dont know how to achieve that and the way they think they can accomplish that often does the opposite.
As is probably well known by now.. Biden is a very old family friend of my parents from before I was born. So maybe its just more obvious to me since I've seen his decline over the years and its rather obvious.
But honestly I cant help but think a statement like this suggests you've never seen any of his old content (I mean most of it is highly racist so they dont tend to show it much to democrats).
You can literally just go find any video of him talking 20 years ago, and then watch him talking now and its night and day.. 20 years ago he spoke quickly, clearly, and had no trouble articulating his words or addressing people... Now he spends 20 minutes on stage walking around trying to shake hands with people who arent even there and cant even speak without forgetting where he is or what he was saying.
And no trump wasnt the source of that idea, people have been calling him senile since long before he was even running.
There is no legal requirement a party need be democratic, no.. but if they elect not to be they deserve ridicule and a lack of support.
No no the media isnt far off... they changed the superdelegate rules on him and then stole the primary from him even though he technically won by the way it was traditionally counted it:
https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/25/politics/democrats-superdelegates-voting-changes/index.html
More complicated than that... He won the primaries one year in terms of direct votes.. but despite him winning the "normal" vote the superdelegates override this and he was denied the primary anyway.
Its kind of ironic cause people yell and scream about Trump being elected despite not winning the popular vote when they do this regularly within their own party.
@Baley I certainly appreciate that opinion. Climate change is an important issue and I'd want a candidate who addresses that. Biden could do more, but if its him and Trump we compare in that regard Biden is the clear better choice.
That said support for a third party is likely to have an even greater impact on addressing climate change, so if this is a priority then I'd vote for West, not Biden.
You mean bernie?.. Bernie absolutely tries, and I think he sincerely cares... the only thing he has going against him is he is completely clueless about how to fix it and if he ever had the power to execute it would be horrific for everyone despite the good intentions... sadly good intentions isnt enough, you need competence too.
@icedquinn I like any aesthetic that shows the electronics... my computer is open-air, and i have a nice little dock/hub that is quite nice and transparent.
@admitsWrongIfProven @LouisIngenthron
our odds are going down
@admitsWrongIfProven still not sure im following... who did I mock support and what was the change?
As far as I can tell my support for candidates is largely unchanged.
@TruthSandwich I never said he planned to destroy democracy in the same way trump did... but in the end the result will be the same.
@admitsWrongIfProven not sure i follow... what part astonishes you, can you elaborate?
@TruthSandwich You have to remember, Biden is a long-term friend of the family from before I was even born... When I judge him its not just based on his actions, but based on the aspects of him you would only see in private, which for me confirms his behaviors in public that might otherwise be more speculative.

@TruthSandwich Yes he has. Never said he didnt. Either way if either of those two win a second term we wont have democracy left much longer. The fact that one is open and direct aboutit and the other is able to fool people is not much of an argument for me to support him.
