The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that removal protections for members of the Federal Trade Commission are unconstitutional and overturned a 90-year-old decision that allowed Congress to shield members of certain independent agencies from being fired by the president at will.
The decision from the high court expands the president’s power over many independent boards and commissions, which Congress had insulated from political pressure by saying their members could only be removed by the president for cause.
Listen, I don’t have it in me to bother going back to find the research but a few things:
Without any of the research, maybe don’t blame people for how they vote but blame the DNC as its literally their job to energize people to vote by having policies that make people want to vote.
Without research, people voting for PSL/Green and still voting Dem/progressive down ballot is a whole lot better than the alternative of zero votes. Yelling at people they have to vote how you tell them isn’t gonna make anything happen. Let people vote how they want.
With research, “Progressives” vote more consistently for democrats than literally any other ideological group by % total population of said group (meaning they looked at non-voters as well)
With research, 3rd party leans HEAVILY right for votes. I forget the exact number but I think it was about 4x as many in libertarian/constitution compared to Green/PSL.
Fuck off with attacking people who literally just… could not stand for voting to commit genocide? I mean you shouldn’t be attacking the left at all, but specifically people who morally refuse to vote for someone who wants more genocide? Really? Anti-anti-genocide isn’t far from anti-antifa. Which like, oof.
See that’s the thing. None of us were voting to commit genocide. We were voting for president.
I was about to ask what the fuck kind of dumbass statement is saying voting for president isn’t voting for policies but the party of “nothing will fundamentally change” doesn’t really have policy so I guess that tracks for a Dem.
You should try paying attention to politics before you criticize the politics. Like, let’s help you get better arguments. It bugs me when people I agree with use inaccurate information (like the democrats not having policy) when we can criticize them for far more accurate and heinous things.
It really is that simple, you are voting for a person not their platform. The platform is the advertisement of what they might do, but we all know most campaign promises are worthless. If you are just looking at a candidate’s platform and not their history you’re missing most of the relevant story.
If the genocide in Gaza was my only factor I was voting on, like a lot of y’all right wingers on here seem to think it should be (strange how the sibboleths in your language match theirs) I’d first ask which candidates are likely to win. Among those, which are likely to end the genocide. None? Okay which are likely to slow it, which will ignore it, and which will make it worse. Then I ranked the candidates and got to the same spot as just saying “fuck Krasnov I ain’t voting for anyone he likes or who likes him”
Oh right I forgot “you have to vote who you think will win”
So, you are wrong and voted wrong too.
Did you think Harris could actually win? Really?
And my point in saying they didn’t have policy is their literal ads sent to my house said exactly “nothing will fundamentally change” for Biden. And Kamala made it clear she was going to do the exact same shit as she refused to break from Biden on basically anything important. Sure they had policy but it was all fuckin garbage. The DNC lost because they refuse to do something to try and win. People don’t want to put up with “at least I am not a literal clone of Hitler, even if I’m just as bad.” People want a candidate worth voting for. That’s why I’ve heard tons of kids tell me their parents haven’t voted at all since Obama. Or other normie ass people I know have said the same. The DNC has shot itself in the face repeatedly since, and Biden honestly only won because his name was tied to Obama and people forgot he was tied to Obama to try and and anchor him to centrist ass bullshit, and that Biden not for progress or change at all. People refuse to keep voting for a race to the bottom in who can put out a worst candidate because that’s why we are where we are at.
Look at NYC, that is how you energize the voting base.
Honestly no. Harris was an abysmal choice the DNC made for the democrat party, bypassing the primary process. I’m not the DNC. I get to choose between what’s in front of me. I’m not the DNC, so i’m not sure why you’re attacking me for THEIR choices.
she was better than Trump. that was what it came down to in the general election.
