It would be such a gift if this party could tear itself apart.

Personally I reserve downvotes for rulebreaking, offensive comments, spam, things of that nature. Differences of opinion I just don't upvote. Perhaps this is more common on Lemmy than other places.

I love that. Too bad it doesn't seem like they ship to Canada.

Except those who dissented publicly, right? Pretty sure Sotomayor was pretty publicly pissed off at the rest of the court.

I'm sorry but cutting regulations and giving handouts to business for "development" has been the order of the day for the last 40 years and it's been bullshit. It's not any less bullshit because a new red tory face is selling it. It will end up the same old story: Huge promises of future income fall flat followed by "necessary" cuts.

It was one commenter and the following comments rebuking them are much more highly upvoted. It's maybe a bit early to stick a fork in it.

For comparison, the US who spends more than the next what, ten? states combined on their military is at 3.4% of gdp. We're not spending 5% of our gdp on the military without huge cuts. Is it worth your healthcare? Because that shit is done in this scenario.

Glad I didn't waste a vote on this guy. Sorry that my advocacy didn't lead to a weaker minority government for him.

Birds of a feather and all.

Not to mention the consumer base that makes this all function collapses.

Why wouldn't China just cut a deal with Iran for access the way they did with the Houthis? It turns out you can cut deals with people when you aren't bombing them or supplying arms to the people who are bombing them.
