Post this any time you see someone say "socialism has never worked"

People down voting me must be missing the point I'm trying to make. Even if citizens united is negated it only limits spending by corporations. People would still be able to spend unlimited funds campaigning for the politician they support, they would just have to do it as an individual. Example: Elon Musk would still be able to use his wealth and X platform to sway votes toward his candidate

There's another problem which is that you can only donate about $104,000 to a federal candidate's campaign but you are allowed to independently campaign for that politician using unlimited funds. Third party campaigning shouldn't be allowed. It's been ruled a matter of free speech, that if Michael Moore wanted to make a documentary critiquing health care in the US, that is his right. But some people will make documentaries filled with lies. It might be difficult to control what wealthy people do with their money and what they say, but that doesn't mean you can't try.

Edit: when I say third party campaigning shouldn't be allowed, I dont mean a third political party. I mean a third person campaigning on their own using funds outside of the official candidates campaign.

It'll be like a controller for a device and then when the new version of the device comes out you have to get a new controller.

Telling people they shouldn't be sympathetic to Iran.

First, Iran as a country has more parts than just it's government. Iranian people are friendly and welcoming. Second, Iran never said anything about Pride flags. They said "only officially recognized national flags should be displayed during the team’s games, extending to those flags carried by fans in the stands."

I can see that there were homes there before, and after I don't see any. If there's any fan fiction going on it's from people speculating how nice it all was for the people who were moved from their homes. Why would an entire neighborhood move from their homes unless they thought it was easier than facing repercussions for resisting? Tell me a fanfiction story about how wonderful this was for everyone.

You think they still live here, now their homes are nicer? Or they were forced to move from their homes probably under threat. Their families and community probably lived there for generations.

Looks like they destroyed housing to build shops and restaurants and hotels

"“The project creates irreparable harm in the form of habitat loss and increased mortality to endangered species in the area,” she wrote.

Her ruling is preliminary, as the case will continue to be litigated. The state is expected to ask that the ruling be stayed, or kept from taking effect, as it pursues its appeal."

Hmm for some reason I was thinking this was about Jack Black

Brooks Brothers riot... No we can't count the presidential election votes because there's dudes in suits jumping around yelling outside

This is the first time a jail term was obtained for illegal modifications.
