A lot of of the labels on eggs are meaningless as to the welfare of the animals. Cage free eggs are often raised in giant warehouse concentration camps for instance.

Most of these terms are not regulated, I believe the only term that means anything is like pasture raised if I recall, and even that there is a lot of differences as to the welfare of the animals.

He did not support abolition until well into the civil war look it up.

He removed missouri’s general or whatever keeping them from joining confeds for endorsing the idea in fact.

Regardless that same party abandoned the former slaves to steal an election after rampant corruption.

So any example of the civil war era is also disallowed by your logic. It was not perfect so therefore your example can be discredited.

Lincoln did not even want emancipation at first, and grant was corrupt and let his admin loot the government, then abandoned reconstruction to jim crow in a deal to get to keep the 1876 election they stole from tillman for hayes.

That republican party? Hardly.

Yet you do not indulge my question, give me one example that cannot be dismissed with your logic dismissing the new deal?

Jesus the mask is truly off, polit and biz leadership are not bothering to pretend. They think representative government is dead.

They should hope not the political monsters they helped create will destroy their prosperity and cannibalize them sooner than later if they get absolute power.

A lot of those r’s are worse so you have to pretend d’s are acceptable types are influence agents, working for both sides ironically as r aligned groups help keep beatable candidates to face them. There are plenty of dupes too but a significant percent are agents of monied interests. Ie mechanized troll divisions.

Plus no one I have warned from 97 on admits to remembering my warnings. Them all saying nah keep your head down and live, govt has always been bad, nothing will fundamently change.

The same people still support establishment opposition to save us too, following the lead of authorities passing the buck and never admitting a mistake and correcting their behavior.

Yes anytime the new deal is brought up the detractors say that minorities were discriminated against, so, nothing they did counts. Defective logic, nothing anyone did ever would count using that logic.

Give me one historical example where you could not find injustice to negate using an example from? Just one. Nothing now would count. Nothing in us history.

Using that argument is telling of where your head is at, perhaps actively stymying resistance, to accelerate the decline mistakenly believing something better would replace it. That is the more charitable take on your use of that argument too.

My point is we organize and take the dem party, strong leadership that can build and run a pol machine, we could get back there in 2029, assuming r’s are too busy infighting and too disenchanted to steal an election they clearly lost. All state level cheating still losing the election that is and congress and scotus not granting it to the loser anyway.

I don’t know what you think you are even arguing here. I know the system can work because it did work. In the post-war years until the 1970s. Only after business started to cooperate on a long game to undo the New Deal did it all go to shit. Piece by piece. In 1972 the business Round Table made a long game and it has since been refined.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that in several US States, it's illegal to boycott Israel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t agree with your analysis of what I am saying here. Wanting a restoration of the Republic is not playing Make-Believe, it is not surrendering.

Obviously we already talked about the rules not being honored, nobody is making believe they are being honored on this thread.

But within the rules of the government we have we could fix the government and Society. It is just a matter of getting good leadership to get us there and organizing behind them.

Yeah I know it is only getting worse by all indications.

Allowing a foreign intelligence agency to get blackmail on our politicians is in open Defiance of the reason for being of the FBI and CIA.

They clearly have their priorities screwed up, and by All Rights should live the rest of their lives in a work camp on the North Slope of Alaska building public housing for the inuit.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that in several US States, it's illegal to boycott Israel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
So what is your point? Because we got corrupted politicians that dishonor the highest laws of the land, what? We should not try to see those laws ever enforced? Just give up and accept it?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that in several US States, it's illegal to boycott Israel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
The 1st ammendment begs to differ.

I realize you are regurgitating The preposterous legal arguments of the lawmakers that have passed these laws but that Legal reasoning is laughable as it is for So-Called civil asset forfeiture Where the fifth Amendment against seizure of private property without due process does not apply because they charge your property not you. The State verse your wallet and car.

These are clearly bad faith ad hoc arguments they are making.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that in several US States, it's illegal to boycott Israel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Well also keep in mind that the Israelis have our politicians compromised, not just on the Epstein stuff, probably a range of issues, and seemingly our CIA and FBI did nothing to stop it if not more likely helped them do it.

You framing everyone as is critical of the opposition party as voting for the party and Power gives lie to your argument. That is an ad hominem you learned from the party in power and the opposition party.

And you did not answer the point, it is unanswerable so it makes sense you resort to ad hominems. By not being popular and running as the status quo in an Ever devolving plutocracy, the Democrats Doom us to Republican rule. That is evident.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
It is in effect against the law to criticize Israel in Germany and now the uk. It is against the law to protest in the UK in effect.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
By running as they do they doom us to the Republicans. I do not see how that is hard for you to understand. Being better than the other guy is not enough to win elections, you should have realized that in 2016 at the latest, yet here we are approaching 2028 and you are still advocating for this doomed to fail policy despite being one election away from a permanently rigged system for a one-party state?

And make no mistake it will be rigged every way it can be but 2028 we have a chance to take it from them in the succession fight. Not with the establishment leaders we have though.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Oh? Remind me again how many countries have even an arms embargo against Israel? Or they have any sort of penalties against them outside of completely symbolic actions done well past the time they should have been? How many of those countries is it a crime to criticize Israel in? The UK and Germany at a minimum.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The Democratic Leadership knew the position we were in, yet they still refused to run a popular campaign offering any real reforms or attacking anyone increasingly gouging us and ran as the status quo while the Republicans ran as reform.

We all knew the voters did not know better. The responsibility is in the establishments corner. Three presidential shit shows in a row and they are brushing off the old Hillary Clinton excuses blaming voters as if that would justify letting them stay in control of the party.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The establishment dems still think they are playing good cop to Republican bad cop in 1990, even as the Republicans are openly playing Hitler now. Without getting new popular reform minded leadership there is no way we can take the country from this aspiring one party state.
