Okay, a couple more Inconvenient Truths...

The rest of them from this week: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100221232387

1. Two great points - well illustrated.

Thank you.

4. apathy

apathy is for losers.

8. Absolutely true! n/t

[Tbear]

9. So?

Just kidding

3. Thanks! Another thing: at 80% we get a supermajority to expand the US Supreme Court to 13 justices, one for each

federal district -- greater federal court representation of the American population of 342.5 million.

12. You only need 50% + 1 in the Senate to revert to not having a filibuster

The filibuster is a Senate rule and nothing more. The Democrats have the trifecta far more often than the Republicans do. This fear of the GOP is what allows Republicans to modify the filibuster to their advantage over and over. Simply put, Republicans leverage the filibuster far, far better than the Democrats do. Undo the Senate rule. Move fast. Unbreak things.

[Justice matters.]

5. To be better at accounting, one has to be good at math.

magats don't know that more than 100% discounts means the corporations have to pay you to buy their stuff.

7. I've been saying for years that Republicans are BAD at math. VERY bad.

It’s why they can’t manage an economy (other than running it right down the shitter).

10. Being good at math...

... equals being disloyal to Trump, which equals treason, which carries the DEATH PENALTY! Just ask Prezzidint Psychopants, or read his late-night howls for vengeance that are, invariably, wall-to-wall, knee-deep, pull-up-your-pants-it's-too-late-to-save-your-shoes BULLSHIT!

But true, nonetheless.

6. Not true that we get nothing.

In exchange for getting fleeced, we get:
- Crappy services!
- propaganda telling us our services are the best anywhere
- a few get obscenely rich at the expense of the rest of us.
Right?

11. I'm saving the vote meme to post everyday on FB starting October 15th !

13. The first one confuses many liberals, too

Universal health care unburdens small businesses, and most Americans will come out ahead. Folks fear losing their "employer-provided" coverage. My last position before retirement had fantastic benefits, but my contribution was 20% of my gross pay.
