    It’s selling hypothetical water that is not there and will never be there. It’s a total scam that is going to bite drought-prone areas in the ass big time.

    In Mexico there is a town run by Coca Cola and the people literally believe in what I think is Fanta. Everyone dies of diabetes and the undertaker sees what’s going on, but it’s part of the religion. Coca Cola owns the water in that town. I think it’s a Vice report.

    I wont care about something she wants until she can no longer inside trade and manipulate stocks. No one is that good at the stock market. Just another greedy person who has more than they can ever spend stealing from her people.

    If Biden stepped down and Warren was on the ballot again I would definitely vote in this upcoming election.

        You’re brainwashed. The system is the problem. They want us peasants playing the imaginary game fighting with each other instead of unifying and making real change. You’re a pawn.

          Unifying and making real change means coming together and voting against the fascist that’s going to make everything worse.

          Feeling righteous about not doing the one thing that can actually help is immature and stupid.

            The Democrats aren’t making any real change though. They just patch things up for the next Republican to ratchet us further to the right. If we want change we’re going to need to change the democratic party first.

                Sure. Let me know when Biden is running for my local congressional seat so I can not vote for him there too.

                  You really are missing the point. Local elections reach up into higher elections. Vote for more liberal mayors, more liberal DAs, more liberal Congresspeople, and more liberal senators. The more liberal they move, the more liberal the overall party becomes.

            Ad hominem. I don’t participate in fear based politics or hate based discussion. Try again.

              If you’re not either participating in politics by voting, running for office or campaigning; or actively attempting to overthrow the government, then you are accepting whatever government we have and whatever government gets voted in.

              There’s nothing morally wrong in voting for the less-bad of available. options now, while still working toward changes that give us better choices in the future. If nothing else, if you really cared about how this country and world runs, you would at least be voting for whoever you think will give you even a SLIGHTLY better chance of allowing or enabling the change you want to see.

              The absolute least useful thing you could possibly do is throw up your hands and give up and not participate. As a matter of fact, that’s exactly what extremes on both ends of the political spectrum want you to do. The fewer people who participate, the easier it is for them to get away with all the money and power.

                It’s the opposite. They need your participation to keep the machine churning. The more you care about red vs blue the more money they make and the longer the system prospers with little real change. Another 4 years of Trump is what the Democratic Party needs to get off their asses (no pun intended) and actually give us somebody who’s gonna make real changes.

                It’s all business, you’re the consumer and our lives are the currency. If you’re not buying what they’re selling, they’re gonna need to give you what you want.

                  You are 100% incorrect about this. The system will continue regardless of your participation. Sitting on the sidelines and pouting about the rules being bad does nothing but make you look like a child.

    Fuck cunt she fucked over progressive for her career. Anything she claims to want to pass that even sounds progressive, either isn’t really progressive or she knows it won’t pass and she uses it as a prompt.

    This cunt would vote against Healthcare for all if it had a chance to pass. Remember she "capitalist to her bones’
