Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Funny you say this, I'm not even a capitalist, and that's part of the capitalist problem. If it's not profitable, nobody gets help.
And therein lies the problem. You, much like all the other Democrats, are so capitalistic in nature that you're willing to let anybody who's not wealthy enough just suffer.
Bullshit, I asked you what you propose something. Put your money where your mouth is. What would help? Welfare? Subsidized housing? Government training programs? Tax money on broadband?
Instead of putting words in other people's mouths, why don't you offer up something reasonable? Literally anything except derision would probably suffice.
I would provide a minimum standard of living to every American regardless of any economic Bullshit you pull out.
Putting in simply, we have labor, we have resources, therefore we can make sure people have housing and other nessesities. Because unlike you, which you explicitly said, I do not care about profitability, I do not care what business is want, because businesses, I don't think outside of the government's mandate have any right to exist.
If people need housing, you build houses. If people need internet, you build infrastructure. I have no idea why it's so hard for capitalist brain-rot victims like you to understand this.
UBI then?
"I can't find a job. I refuse to work in retail. I don't care what businesses want. I don't think businesses should exist."
I'm skeptical there's much of anything anyone could propose that would make you happy.
Yeah, WHO? Who builds those houses? With what money? You gonna force someone to build them? Where do you get materials? Do you give the houses away?
I'm not surprised no one will hire you, if it's this hard for you to answer really simple questions.
Keep living with that mushy brain there, capitalist man.
Don't forget to apply for unemployment while you're sitting in your basement with your thumb up your ass.
When fascism takes over our country due to your lack of imagination, Ill remember this conversation.
No lie, that's what you start to sound like when you haven't physically interacted with another human being in a looooooong time. Go touch grass, bro. It's nice outside.
Interesting that you are still talking? Is this a last word game we are doing?
