This is unironically how the right sees Trump and his ilk though. Vividly remember a conversation between two family members when one said “why are people mad? He just wants to make America great again.”
Not sure the point I’m trying to make tbh. Just be careful with how we envision “our” candidates in our minds.
This made me laugh out loud. Thank you.
I wouldnt trust um
Lets not treat politicians like well intentioned individual when lying to get into power is common.
Nono shhhhhh we voted in midterms, that's aaaaaaall we have to do! Let's not pretend like there's a huge mass of republicans and morons that will be getting gaslit and manipulated even harder for the next two years, and there's definitely not an even more important vote then that Dems will surely try to stuff some milquetoast candidate into!
Nonono, now is the time to celebrate and pretend things are fixed like a light switch being flipped!
Within 12 hours of polls closing, we see one of the biggest electoral smackdowns ever, and fucking Blexas. Dems don't take power for a few months yet.
If you're not a whiney pessimist, this is exactly the time to celebrate!
This dangerous lunatic wants to give us universal healthcare and safe bike lanes to reduce traffic congestion!
You're looking to put countless insurance brokers, private health care workers and others out of a job while simultaneously decimating the automotive industry, and for what? A brighter, cleaner healthier future for your children?
You monsters.
I bet that freak doesn't even beat his wife.
Look at his LGBTQ tie and Islamic flower, what a leftist.
We all know that what socialists really want to do fascism, which is why we should always vote for fascists because I like honestly /s
omg and those terrorist cheek dots
They even want federal healthcare for everyone! What other evils will they impose on our society?
I wish they did
gestures wildly toward Australia's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme
We just call then pharmacy benefit managers in the US, and they have a special exemption to take kickbacks legally
PBS isn't about kickbacks, it's just lower price Medicine.
Trump specifically hates our PBS since it 'hurts American pharmaceutical companies' yet the actual US pharma companies love it, since it's a reliable customer
You can see the prices we pay for medicines- https://www.pbs.gov.au/healthpro/explanatory-notes/front/fee
For most medicines in Australia, it's $25, or $7.70 if you have a concession card (HCC/DVA Gold/RHCA), Pharmacies get a set dispense fee (unless it's a dangerous medicine or needs to be compounded, which just add extra set fees) and the Pharma company gets a fixed negotiated amount paid from taxes.
He may even build a BIKE LANE!!
Bike lanes are fine but also can we start ticketing bicyclists who fail basic road rule safety like blowing off stop signs and lights?
Sure, once they start murdering people at a rate similar to cars, we should enforce the laws on each group with equal vigor.
COMMIE BASTARD
Bike lanes suck.
They're better than no bike infrastructure at all, but they're still suck city compared to dedicated bike paths with physical barriers between cyclists/cars and even cyclists/pedestrians.
I hate riding my bike on streets. I’m lucky my area has dedicated bike zones all along the main streets, separated by barriers. I wish more side streets had them, as well. I wish f’in everywhere had them.
they suck on stroads, yes. they're mostly fine in tight downtown areas alongside a single vehicle lane.
I think most people refer to physically separated bike paths that share the same road surface as bike lanes. personally, I don't really like completely separate bike paths (around here, most commonly multi use paths), because they're not actually designed as infrastructure, but as recreation, so connections and directness are poor.
but, yes, just tossing in a bike lane is not the proper solution, it's a bandaid on the way to a complete infrastructure replan. and fuck you Ontario for blocking them and ripping them out
Fuck. Don't tell me those commie Demoncrats voted you into office too!!!!!??
I'd build those gosh darned commie railways, reduce roads* by a lane to make real dedicated bikeways and build euro style 4-5 story apartment blocks with retail on the ground floor and make it all walkable!
muahahahahah!
* Roads being Roads, not Streets or Highways.
For someone named lane, you seem awfully anti lane…
Also, yes please to all of your filthy commie ideas.
Unfortunately you'd have to solve the wage theft problem first unless you want only execs and the yuppiest yuppies living there. They were making similar plans in a not so terribly lefty city, to tear down a few neighborhoods and some not even old office buildings to build something similar. It wasn't for any utopian plan, but to further gentrify a core part of the city and make the land owners and developers filthy rich. There was no option to be grandfathered in. They were just going to tell hundreds of families and businesses to fuck off if they couldn't afford to move into where they already lived.
That's a fair warning and a real shame.
Bring back public housing.
Unprotected bike lanes are actually worse than nothing so yeah.
I miss living on the Toronto harbourfront and being able to bike an hour in either direction along the lake with very minimal interactions with cars..
the other day i watched a car slip into the bike lane for 100yards. good thing cyclists around here know better than to take the road.
"CLEAN!? SAFE?!!? but how the fuck is that meant to generate profit for shareholders!?!
Nobody is giving me a brown envelope full of cash to build a new PARK
What a disaster for freedom and democracy"
"We're funding numerous infrastructure projects to finally modernise our infrastructure!"
"WHAT ABOUT POTHOLES!!!! ARE YOU ROAD PHOBIC?????!???! THE RADICAL LEFT HAS DONE IT AGAIN, FUNNELING MONEY INTO CORRUPTION!!!!"
The radical left fixed my streets and now they're all woke, no potholes or sinkholes or anything. They even sealed the asphalt and repainted the lines, how could they!?
Unironically being said where Ilive
Well yeah, a safer children means harder time for Epstein and the gang
Clean and safe cities are woke! If we don't sacrifice enough children, the Car God will be angry!
