It's not genocide. Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of people because of their ethnicity, nationality, religion, or race.

"Protesting" isn't what we need. We need them running for office, whether that is president, senator, congressperson, or even for the local school board: a lot of those lower officers will move up over time.

Just like the remnants of the Tea Party took over the GOP, we need a "Guillotine Party" to redirect the Democrats to focus on the robber baron billionaire class.

I'm hoping for a massive stroke on December 18th. Anything between December 17th and January 6th will have interesting results. We could theoretically get a Harris/Vance or Vance/Walz administration.

The Democrats won't have absorbed the Guillotine Party by 2028.

Guillotine Party!

Universal healthcare, securities tax, punitive top-tier income tax. We can get rid of these parasites like we got rid of the robber barons, or we can do it like the French got rid of their first and second estate.

True, true. Today, there is entirely too much silicon in their circuitry. Copper was - and is - a far more reliable means of delivering power to compressor.

My mom's deep freezer has been in her garage for 30+ years, reaching ambient temperatures as low as -30C.

Send it.

It's not genocide if they aren't people.

The Onion buys rightwing conspiracy theory site Infowars with plans to make it ‘very funny, very stupid’

They're halfway there already.

It's 1/7th your age plus 2, right?

Certainly. Most of the 20th century, the top tier tax rate was set at a level that can only be described as "punitive". It was higher than 90% to kill off the robber barons.

While I am not morally opposed to beheading rich people, we really need to go back to the tax rates we had in the 50's. And add a securities tax, payable in shares of that security, that the IRS can liquidate slowly over time.

The Tea Party did not spoil a GOP election. The GOP caved and adopted their platform.

The Democratic Party will do the same thing with the Guillotine Party.
