    To clarify: not lower than now, both candidates want a torment nexus, but one wanrs to build it faster and not worry aboyt whether the orphan bones are fair trade.

      Hang on there, because with some issues, they do want to reduce the torment below current levels, and i think that should matter

          Most libs want to provide free healthcare and fight climate change. Both items would reduce harm and suffering and genocide* domestically and abroad. *inequities health outcomes are tantamount to genocide; climate change also has genocidal effects

              Lol. Lmao. 2 years with the bare minimum to be a majority with 96% of the caucus being for it and 4% (2 people) being the reason it didnt happen, is plenty of chances?

                  You need to go back 15 years to an entirely different political climate to find a better trifecta, at which time we got decent climate legislation and the ACA which, again, 80% of elected dems wanted to better than the ACA. Before that, was 2 years under clinton which was last century.

      Still less than double the Torment Nexus and that’s what’s important. I don’t think it’s worth quibbling over the precise amounts even if it was 2 vs 1.99990

        Absplutely! Now grab a hamner comrade, i bet if we put our full communist organizing mechanism towards this, our torment nexus won’t be as big as theirs, but it will be ready sooner, more durable, and more than three times as efficient!
