I've never heard of communism being an economic framework before, I thought it just meant a system without capitalism or a state. Do you have something short I could read about communism being an economic framework?

Do you know who these global elite are and how exactly they exert their control? My conspiracy theory alarm bells are goin off lol. Also how does lowering prescription drug prices not address some "real need" of some portion of the public? Not to mention the infrastructure bill which put a ton of money towards renewable energy, which is a step towards stopping global warming... You may argue these steps aren't proportional to what actually needs to be done, but looking pragmatically its kinda hard to do really good stuff when half the country (and thus half the legislature) is whipped into a populist fervor, which you seem to also support given the main thing populists hate are the elite!)

Idk what she's done, or even can do as VP, but Joe's helped get some good legislation passed, negotiated drug prices and I think he passed some gun control? Those seem like things some people want, although you might have a specific people in mind that I'm not aware of.

Afaict there is no definitive proof or conviction of SA. All evidence available comes from Pieke and exurb1a doesn't seem to want to publicly engage with the accusations. Here is a third perspective that covers the most relevant pieces of evidence. It looks bad for exurb1a and the evidence to me seems to show some level of manipulation and drug-related bad behavior on his part, but as always, for any severe accusation, it is good to trust victims, but one should also withhold definitive judgement on the accused until proven guilty (either by undeniable evidence or legal proceeding).

I would agree if ads were the only sustainable way to fund content on the internet. They're not. Direct fractional funding should be the universally accepted scheme and until companies figure that out, adblock all the way!
