The private university can enroll whoever they want, but the executive branch literally controls immigration/foreign affairs. So the students can attend remotely.

Bernie is the compromise.

Fischer clarified that BDS’s ideology is based on “explicit denial of Israel’s right to exist.”

Well he is correct about that. But not sure how that is unconstitutional, unless the German consitution has some extremely problematic language in it, in which case it probably needs to be throw out.

This dude fucking sucks and doesn't understand the purpose of the 2nd amendment. Stopped reading there.

It's just this. Not anything to do with how local taxes work.

But again, nothing is precluding an elected official from also organizing.

Neither is this boon dongle, just like "star wars" before it.

Why do you say that? It's a metal that can be hammered extremely thinly, gold leaf etc.

Pretty sure this is literally what Denmark signed up for? I'm not sure where the "alarm" is coming from.

If you aren't in office your "committed party" may as well be a d&d group, you'd have more fun while accomplishing exactly the same thing.

Entryism largely doesn’t work.

Eh. While that is true if you want to change an established party, it isn't true if you want improve society somewhat. As an elected-official at any level, you have more power and influence then a citizen, and no matter how little power you have, your presence in the body politic means that you have access to others in that body. There are plenty of things that a government does that require it's elected members to agree to do. As one of those members you have leverage that can be used to help make good things happen, or to soften the bad things that happen, and these are opportunities you don't have if you aren't a part of that system.

Plus you can absolutely "party build" while being an elected official.

Running as a democrat to get ballot access is fine imo. Because once yo uare in office, you don't have to stay a Dem, and there is nothing the party can do to "force" you to stay a dem. They can and will primary you, but with incumbancy advantage, that costs them way more then beating you as an independent running against the dem candidate the first time.

e: If you are in a red-area, absolutely run as a republican. Same argument applies.

 

Garbage Island full of garbage people thinks cars prevent sexual assaults.

 

A pretty standard pro-environmental piece, however I do appreciate how it calls out the "German Green Party," which is obviously just an astro-turfed political party funded by the coal industry.

And of course the criticism of about the farce of Carbon Capture is spot-on.

 

A growing number of Senate Democrats appear open to making it harder for migrants to seek asylum in order to secure Republican support for aiding Ukraine and Israel.

This is what the democrats stand for. Unlimited funding for the MIC and border-control, but social issues are not a priority.

Stop voting for the parties of Capital.
