Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@neutralgrey  
Of course there is. The only people who believe there isn’t is Fox News, and these are the same people who made a controversy out of fancy mustard.

@Cyborg_pony  
I don’t think he endorsed Clinton because he actually agreed with her, I think he just did it as a “lesser evil” type of thing.
 
He wasn’t perfect, but he was the best candidate in the race that had a chance of being POTUS. He most likely would’ve have tried to preserve net neutrality and push for universal healthcare, unlike Donald “Use the gas we kick your ass” Trump.

Why the fuck doesn’t the Internet have a SOPA-level blackout today!?

@Pacific Glow  
Some sites I’ve been to are getting the word out.

@Pacific Glow  
I hear Google, Netflix and other major sites are taking part of the protest.
 
…I have no idea what this protest is though. What exactly is everyone doing?

Here’s what the Internet would look like if the FCC won:  
 
I might as well kill myself because the Internet is my life, and I’ll be homeless.

@Pacific Glow  
Fuck me sideways this is disgusting to look at.

This what you get with Republicans, they act like they want to help you but once they get voted in that’s when you immediately see where their loyalties lie. You realize that they’re just whores for big money and don’t give a shit about their constituents. Reminds me of what Michael Bay said in response to Age of Extinction, he said that people are still going to watch that garbage. Republicans think the same way, they could slap the public in the face but they know they’ll still be voted in.

@Pacific Glow  
Yep, yep. This is what you get from free market policies.

@Hypnosryan  
Free markets aren’t bad….corpratism is.

@Shirani  
Corporatism is the logical conclusion of deregulated free market. Even Adam Smith saw it coming.

@Shirani  
Most right-libertarians are against net-neutrality, net-neutrality something that’s enforced by the government.

@Shirani  
If that’s the case then I’ve never seen an environment with an actual free market. It’s all just Corporatism

@neutralgrey  
That sounds more applicable to all politicians at some point in their career than any one party.

@PonyPon  
Not all, some are arrested for illegal shit.
 
Seriously though you’re kinda right. I just hate Republicans more because they wear their apathy of their constituents on their sleeves when in office and think that spouting out right wing catchphrases is enough to get them elected. Dems aren’t any better economically but on social issues they at least try to do what the people want.

@neutralgrey  
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We need more parties.
 
These past few years has made it obvious to me our current system doesn’t work nearly as well as we like to pretend it does.

@fobone  
No we just need to make taking money from people to run your campaign a act of treason and start locking up everyone who takes the money and the ones giving it,

@Thanotos Omega  
I could see making it illegal, but treason?
 
And what if interested parties just gave the money directly to the candidate and they could claim it’s their own funds?

@PonyPon  
That’s why you make their finances public knowledge, and yes treason, having a vested interest in subverting our democracy either to the point you attempt to give a candidate and advantage or are willing to take money from people to gain one should cary and minimum of 10 years in prison and permanent revocation of everyone involved’s voting rights/right to hold public office or work for the government or any company working for it,

Let me tell you something, “free market” policies actually result in less freedom.
 
I myself used to be a right-libertarian, you can even find me using the “taxation is theft” meme in some of my earlier posts on this website, that is until I started realizing how free market policies actually undermine freedom if anything, which is why I shifted towards democratic socialism.
 
So people here know I’m an artist, right? I want to work on my art, I don’t want to have to work 40 hours a week on a bullshit job with low wages and no say over what goes on in the business. Let’s be honest, things like long work hours and low wages are what “free market” policies really bring.

@Shirani  
Maybe it’s not the colleges that need to get their act together.

@fobone  
U wot m8? Are you serious?

@Hypnosryan  
“Free Market” is just a nice way of saying the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, because in a free market the established companies kill any competition, it’s why France has laws designed to give smaller business advantages like prime realestate,

@Shirani  
Why? Because some colleges have crazy people in them? You’re focusing on abnormal incidents, our colleges and universities produce doctors, lawyers, and the likes.
