What actions by Dems do you see as "coasting towards" fascism?

They're both headed to the same destination. One is an express train.

I think we're living in two different realities. If you can't tell the difference I'm not sure how you even wrote this post.

Perot in 1992 is what really drives home the point. He got nearly 20% of the popular vote but ZERO electoral college votes. Voting 3rd party simply isn't reasonable given our current system.

Voting is like public transportation, get on the train going the direction that you want. In the off years work to make changes and organize, most people ignore the second part.

Moral of the story: Don't listen to anyone, just get out and VOTE!!!

Have Dems taken your rights to anything away? They've expanded rights for same sex couples and healthcare. Under Republicans my rights constantly get reduced. Abortion is the most recent example.

Also, every election is important because the shitty people who want to screw everyone over never take an election cycle off. Sorry if showing up once every two years is too much to ask.

Their unequal treatment of Dem and GOP just proves they are no longer a news organization, just a propaganda machine.

It doesn't prove that at all, and frankly it's not true. They are part of a for-profit corporation. Their decisions are based on making money for shareholders, and not about journalism or informing the public. So if upsetting Trump, and his supporters, would cost them money, then they will withhold the information. Profit Über alles!

Here's what I said:

It literally doesn't matter. She's still going to lose all the red states. She's not swaying any Trump voters with that message, they've already decided, for the most part, to vote against their own interest.

I'm obviously talking about the general election currently happening with Trump. 2016 Democratic primary is irrelevant. I'm sorry you're so confused.

Can you not tell the difference between a primary and general election?

Anyone who says winning should be a breeze is an absolute idiot. You're dealing with a cult and an electoral college that skews the race toward the Republicans. She'll win the popular vote, but that's all that's certain.

Kickapoo school district sees 440% higher cost over private school voucher funding, tax increases

Wait, you think that is a more clear headline than this:

Kickapoo school district taxpayers see 440% tax hike over private school funding

Your headline makes it sound like the school district's costs are 440% higher. Absolute trainwreck.

Yes, I'm on one side, with dictionaries, etymology, and the majority of atheists, and you're on the other side. I would agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Google:

noun: atheism. disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.

Gnostic - adjective. relating to knowledge, especially esoteric mystical knowledge.

Me:

Theism is belief in a god, atheism is a lack of belief. Atheism is not necessarily a belief that god does not exist.

Gnostic is about knowledge and not belief
