Your name will carry on through generations, and will never be forgotten.
I believe the most widely accept view of the American Dream is the ability to own a home, raise a family and support yourself with enough money left over to actually enjoy life.
I don't think you can own a home, have a family, and raise kids with enough money left over to actually enjoy life on or under $30,000 per year anywhere in America.

Keep in mind, the average home costs $185,000 in America. The average worker makes $26,900 per year in America without having near the benefits in Canada.
Not many people are going to be able to do that even on a 30 year mortgage and survive.

to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.
Like any dream, you must be asleep to believe it.
On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.

I am going to tell you I'm tired of playing your game... you made your bullshit claim, your bullshit claim was debunked... now go away.

If people want 3rd parties then they need to form them, fund them and grow them. It is not the responsibility of the Dems or the GOP to make that possible.

I come from a time and a place where I judge people by the content of their character; I don't give a damn if you are tall or short; gay or straight; Jew or Gentile; White, Black, Brown or Green; Conservative or Liberal. -- Note to mods: if you are going to infract me have the decency to post the reason, and expect to hold everyone else to the same standard.
You really need to learn how things work. If 3rd parties were viable then we would have them. The system is setup to prevent them from becoming viable. Till that happens, you get this and things will continue to get worse so long as they keep trying to ignore the voters.

Why dont you teach me oh wise one... Did the GOP not start as a 3rd party? I am certain they did. 3rd parties rise and fall on their message and their ability to bring people into their tent. It is THEIR responsibility to do that. It is not the responsibility of the GOP or the Dems... if that is wrong, then I really hope you offer your evidence on why that observation is in correct.
It would seem by your last sentence that if the GOP and Dems continue then your desire of a 3rd party will become more viable... Isn't that what you want?

I used to have top picture as my reality. the moment we could, we moved to greener version of image 2. still close enough to NYC to be able to work there, but not inside that hellhole. every time I go there whether to visit family who lives there or for any other reason, I'm reminded how much i LOVE my new place. no more cramped apartment with all the immediate sounds and smells from neighbours around you, really close around you. no more piss and garbage smelling air. blessed quiet. easily available parking. lower prices on everything, not just a house - I mean.... going to the movies in NYC was $50 NOT counting snacks for 2 people (might be more now - its counting round subway trip). where I am right now, its $12 without snacks and good seats are always available (counting gas money, just to be fair)
I do miss NYC public library a little.. but between internet and our local library, we do just fine. and speaking of internet. everything that is accessible in NYC, is ALSO accessible via online ordering. (and its not like we could afford to go to Broadway performances, etc much when living in NYC, we actualy can afford to just go to the city for the evening better now than we could when we actualy lived there)
tldr. city living is ovverrated
The American Dream means different things for different people. I started out making more money than my father did, and he raised 5 kids and supported a stay at home wife on his. While my dream wasn't to be more successful than my father, many parents dream their kids are.
And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
There have only been 3 parties in all of US history and and the Whigs only lasted for 20 years before it dissolved from what I have read.
Now, I will not go through all the cases of educating you because this is something that is very easy to look up on your own and basic knowledge to anyone that does.
But, with the 20 year exception of the Whig, the US has only had the Democratic and Republican party as the big parties. Our system is actually setup with our First Past the Post system to make sure that 3rd parties can never get big and amount to little more than spoiler votes to signal to the big 2 parties that they are straying too far from the voters.
If a 3rd party ever does form and get any size. The only 2 things that would happen under this system is either one of the parties adapts and eats it or it is eaten by one or both of the other 2 parties.
I would like for a 3rd, 4th, and even 5th party to become viable as to be more representative of the people and less easily corrupted. And our system is setup to actively that no 3rd party can ever actually being big enough to threaten the big 2 without eating one of them.
If the and the RNC and DNC completely dissolved and their members refused to join back. Even with 8 parties formed from the ashes, under the current system they would all end up consolidating back down to 2 big ones with maybe 1 to 3 small ones given how our system works.
You want viable 3rd parties, we need a ranked voting method that goes on popular vote. So long as we have our current system in place, 3rd parties will never be viable and anyone who wants an honest chance at running will have to go under the 2 big tents.

the term "balancing a checkbook" has nothing to do with writing personal checks, lol. It's the general idea that you should keep track of the money you are bringing in vs the money you are spending. The "balancing the checkbook" term is also used frequently in reference to government budgets, and spoiler alert, the government isn't actually writing personal checks for $1 billion dollars to pay for things either.
and of that 20%, 99% of them are delusional, and need drugs, sex, and every other resource to numb themselves to the fact they really have nothing.

Bernie was an ideologue he had no concept of how things work. Taxing Wallstreet to pay for healthcare and free college will not work he will eventually have to go after the Middle class to pay it. You can rally people based on a perception that society has failed them but let’s be real the “Great Recession” is not the Great Depression. This is a natural cycle and will happen irregardless of whose in charge. But now my question is why didn’t your people vote for the New Democrat party or the Communist(Marxist-Leninist)Party of Canada? Tradeu is pretty much wealthy.
