A thread about Bill Maher: The Good, The Bad, and The UGLY!
I know you're not all Maher fans but starting at 2:30 (please post a link with just the last part if you have one, thanks!) in this video, Maher sums up what is really going wrong in this election cycle and American politics in general and probably in our society as a whole. And aren't most of us guilty of incivility at…

obamacare
can anyone explain to me why people are against "Obamacare"? I'm not trying to start a war here, I just don't understand why some people are against it. In the UK we have the NHS - much maligned and moaned about but generally bloody marvellous. Its a comparison but it seems that obamacare is trying to give healthcare to…

The all-purpose heavy duty Climate Chaos thread (sprinkled with hope).
I'm not asking to be bating, or to be right (I wish I were wrong about all this), or put anyone down. I really don't get it. Greta Thunberg asks this questions in this very direct, almost confrontational talk seen here: https://www.ted.com/talks/greta_thunberg_the_disarming_case_to_act_right_now_on_climate?language=en She…

SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States)
I figured since the death of RBG, with so much attention being cast upon this judicial body, it was time for a thread of its own. I just read an article that two justices, Alito and Thomas, have "lashed out" at the decision that paved the way for legalization of same-sex marriage. Blows my mind that (at least) two justices…

Abortion-Keep Legal, Yes or No?
I figured since it’s currently a hot topic in the gun thread, I’d start an abortion topic thread. I’ll begin by responding to benjs’ last post in the gun thread: who says a woman is obligated to carry until term? Why shouldn’t that be her decision and hers alone?

Seattle Homelessness
The band has announced they are donating money to help the Seattle homeless issue. I live near near Seattle and I can see this issue first hand and it is pretty bad. There is a full tent city under the I5 just south of seattle. I feel like positive solutions are hard to reach. I’m curious to know what everyone thinks is a…

History of the treatment of Native Peoples in the Americas..
I didnt search if there was one. And I didnt want to derail the Dem thread any longer. Meltdown is right, it isnt discissed nearly enough or even loudly when it is. I imagine a place to share knowledge, links to literature, argue somewhat about present treatment. I am personally ashamed of this as well as other aspects of…
