What do you think "free college for all" does?

2018-09-13 02:57:50 UTC  

destroys us.

2018-09-13 02:58:30 UTC  

devalues college to bascially being a high school diploma

2018-09-13 02:59:00 UTC  

Also correct.

2018-09-13 02:59:03 UTC  

lowers the quality, and creates a giant burden on the taxpayers

2018-09-13 02:59:12 UTC  

Tbh at some point the political parties have to be upended, on one side or the other

2018-09-13 02:59:19 UTC  

Eliminates competition between colleges.

2018-09-13 02:59:36 UTC  

They should be, Beemann

2018-09-13 02:59:42 UTC  

But it's a 'You First' standoff.

2018-09-13 02:59:54 UTC  

There's too many "this exists because why would politicians vote against it" scenarios

2018-09-13 03:00:09 UTC  

That's why, right now, we need to try to reform one party

2018-09-13 03:00:16 UTC  

and I don't think we'll get very far with the Democrats.

2018-09-13 03:00:24 UTC  

It also crystallizes Social Justice forever and makes college even more important for getting a good job.

2018-09-13 03:00:35 UTC  

@RyeNorth what do you propose?

2018-09-13 03:00:41 UTC  

As I've said

2018-09-13 03:00:48 UTC  

Get involved with the Republican Party.

2018-09-13 03:00:56 UTC  

A political party is it's membership.

2018-09-13 03:01:13 UTC  

The only way to sway one is to join one and start steering.

2018-09-13 03:01:27 UTC  

This is how the Democrats got to where they are.

2018-09-13 03:01:44 UTC  

They're in their Donkey-shaped Zord already. We're still on the ground getting stepped on.

2018-09-13 03:02:06 UTC  

Yeah.

2018-09-13 03:02:18 UTC  

Though I don't think the Republican party is nearly that powerful.

2018-09-13 03:02:33 UTC  

Two words. Donald J. Trump.

2018-09-13 03:02:36 UTC  

I threw a letter in free.

2018-09-13 03:02:38 UTC  

Really, there needs to be a better ACLU. One dedicated to protecting free speech without reservation.

2018-09-13 03:03:00 UTC  

An alternative to the SPLC that doesn't just make hatchet jobs to deperson people.

2018-09-13 03:03:29 UTC  

Organizations to connect people and get them to help, as the church did in the past and groups like We (on the left) do now

2018-09-13 03:03:32 UTC  

I'm building a damned Internet Radio Station to sway shit in my state.

2018-09-13 03:03:47 UTC  

Pay me. 😄

2018-09-13 03:03:51 UTC  

A stronger NRA that's not just playing fiddle to the party and embarrassing itself.

2018-09-13 03:04:18 UTC  

The *terms of the discussion* matter as much or more than the office holder.

2018-09-13 03:04:21 UTC  

the NRA is also run by the membership.

2018-09-13 03:04:44 UTC  

Think people should pick up the anarchist's cookbook? Assuming just the communications and organizations part.

2018-09-13 03:04:54 UTC  

The most controversial thing I think the right/center needs: something like a union that protects people for promoting non-left values.

2018-09-13 03:05:11 UTC  

unionizing isn't a right thing.

2018-09-13 03:05:15 UTC  

Admittedly part of the problem.

2018-09-13 03:05:17 UTC  

Anarchists' cookbook was written by a guy who didn't really test what he was doing.

2018-09-13 03:05:22 UTC  

Unions... are part of the problem

2018-09-13 03:05:24 UTC  

But I'm allergic to the term union.

2018-09-13 03:05:31 UTC  

I am too.

2018-09-13 03:05:38 UTC  

It makes me twitch involuntarily.
