It's something both parties need really

You know what's funny? The thing that made me into a republican was never hearing ANYTHING good about them

2018-11-22 22:56:47 UTC  

They need to redefine themselves

2018-11-22 22:56:47 UTC  

A lot will be told by what the House works on out of the gate

2018-11-22 22:56:48 UTC  

you saying the assassination of Ocasio Cortez by right wing coca cola deathsquads?

Realistically there's something good about everyone

2018-11-22 22:57:36 UTC  

Good and evil are subjective and not a reasonable metric

2018-11-22 22:58:19 UTC  

So far I'm seeing a Medicare "buy in" for those 50-64yo

Yeah but I never heard anything positive ever about republicans, And then I started looking at what they had to say

2018-11-22 22:58:35 UTC  

A $15/hr minimum

And life made a lot more sense to me

2018-11-22 22:59:01 UTC  

the republican stances aren't positive cuz they're realistic, and have solutions, not goals

2018-11-22 22:59:19 UTC  

15/hr min is dumb, it needs to adjust with cost of living and inflation

2018-11-22 22:59:27 UTC  

its not "lets make the world a better place" its "Lets keep things stable"

2018-11-22 22:59:29 UTC  

Not everywhere is the same a single rate will not work

Why want a unrealistic goal

2018-11-22 22:59:37 UTC  

cuz it sounds good on paper

2018-11-22 22:59:54 UTC  

and western people don't have concern for life anymore, so they have concern for moral goodness

2018-11-22 23:00:11 UTC  

Tim wants to live in a van down by the river.

2018-11-22 23:01:00 UTC  

I want to live in a small home.
But I can't even afford a studio because col is fucked compared to minimum wage

2018-11-22 23:01:23 UTC  

And I live in the jurisdiction of the socialist state of Seattle.

2018-11-22 23:01:48 UTC  

pff

2018-11-22 23:02:10 UTC  

come back when you have 52% tax for anyone earning more than 60k per year

2018-11-22 23:02:16 UTC  

then go and call something socialist

2018-11-22 23:02:32 UTC  

We have the highest minimum wage in the nation and a socialist in the city leadership

2018-11-22 23:02:58 UTC  

I'm in Europe, the democratic party is looking capitalist to me

2018-11-22 23:03:07 UTC  

Lol

2018-11-22 23:04:06 UTC  

I liked bernies idea of max wage for ceos based off the average income of their employees

2018-11-22 23:04:25 UTC  

No

2018-11-22 23:04:38 UTC  

Cause the rampant wealth hording is bad imo

2018-11-22 23:04:58 UTC  

That just leads to LESS employees to keep the average up.

2018-11-22 23:04:59 UTC  

they don't hoard it into a big bunker like Scrooge McDuck though,

Most of that money is invested back into the country

2018-11-22 23:05:43 UTC  

Yet the income they pay their workers has not kept up with inflation

2018-11-22 23:05:54 UTC  

thats cuz the jobs aren't worth more than that

2018-11-22 23:06:04 UTC  

if you want higher wages, get less employees that can do the job

2018-11-22 23:06:16 UTC  

if the company wants the work filled they'll have to up wages in order for people to say "i wanna work there"

2018-11-22 23:06:22 UTC  

But the value of that money has gone down

2018-11-22 23:06:26 UTC  

no

2018-11-22 23:06:28 UTC  

the value of the JOB has

2018-11-22 23:06:48 UTC  

if i get the choice between hiring you, or someone equally qualified for 50% of the cost

Why would i hire you?

2018-11-22 23:07:05 UTC  

that job lost 50% of its value right there
