California governor vows to take away funding from cities and counties for not clearing encampments

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has a message to local governments: clear homeless encampments now or lose out on state funding next year.

Clearing encampments without offering proper solutions solves nothing. It just increases suffering of those already marginalized. Newsom should be ashamed of the hardline stance he is taking here.

Is just the rapture for leftists. I'm so tired of this jive.

I love how X managed to choose the exact frame to thumbnail that makes them look the most like smug douches.

So... she IS aware that a communist government will be MORE encompassing than the current US government, right? She's not that ******* stupid, right?

Someone inform the betting markets. These two individuals have spoken.

Will this affect the math?

Depends. Marxist communism actually calls for the end goals to be minimal to no state. Issue is no such system has ever been implemented at any kind of scale. and given human nature, I'm not sure if it CAN work, outside of very small communities anyway. As far as the second guy goes. He's an idiot. If you want third parties to be viable, the only way to do it will be election reform. Simply choosing the greater of two evils won't convince people to abandon the two party system...

I mean, if Trump wins, there will be a huge uptick in people trying to start a revolution, no doubt. Especially once he gets rolling on his plans. And given the choice between fascism and even the worst thing that can come from a leftist revolution, I'd be hard pressed to not root for them.

But also, not only has no communist revolution succeeded in installing a true communist system, no one has ever successfully revolted against a fascist state. The Spanish Civil War? Franco won. All those attempts at assassinating Hitler? Failed. Whatever the hell happened in Italy? Didn't even make it into my history books. I'll just leave it at that.

I love the passion, I just wish there were brains to go along with it.

The book makers are calling for harris to win, and the money is very often right.

Watched the DNC last night. Old man gave a heck of an hour long speech, and only got lost once.

Man, I hate to be the state that followed that!

Muslim Women for Harris disbands and withdraws support for candidate

Group says Harris campaign denying a Palestinian speaker at the Democratic convention is a ‘terrible message’

www.theguardian.com

not having a Palestine speaker at the convention isn't a great step and they can't really afford missteps with this...

 

[Ironbite4]

They also didn't get Beyonce to show up. Seriously messes up the message. Guess that means we have to give the reigns over to Donald Trump and his hoard of unwashed fanatics.

Having a Palestinian speaker likely would have turned off as many voters as not having one would. The Palestinian issue is decisive and NOT as important to the general US population as you think it is. Besides anyone who supports Palestine with half a brain cell knows the alternative to Harris would be WORSE for the Palestinians than she would be.
