    In practice, the state is the agent for control.

    yes, I love that trip down memory lane - I'm sure you are taking it out of context - leftforge will tell you the error of your ways.

    BTW this segment intrigues me:

    "You need to remember george is honorary white guy now and gets to beat up white women, and shoot niggers."
    umm…..here in Augusta GA (and dozens of other towns & cities in Georgia) shooting blacks is not a white guy thing by a long shot (no pun intended). Just setting the record straight folks.

    Not surprised. The worst racists tend to be the ones that play the race card the most:shrug:

    Precisely. The "public" doesn't decide shit. The government does.

    LOL Trump is shitting over Twitter (Shwitter? He's a Twitter-Shitter?) right now about how FOX's ratings are down and they need to hire a reputable polling company.

    It is bad when your party propaganda network polls show your ass getting kicked by the moderate and far left candidate equally. Bad news for Trump because the end of his term means the end of his immunity from prosecution. Perhaps he can share the Epstein cell with Weinstein.

    That description applies equally to state capitalism as it does to state socialism. State ownership is one possible branch of ownership, but so is actual public ownership or collective private ownership (e.g. workers or collectives of workers owning and managing a company or industry).

    It's not a binary choice. You're both making far too simplistic.

    I wouldn't pay too much attention to those numbers right now. At this point in 2016 Hilary had a massive lead over Trump.

    True but I doubt there will be an Russian assistance this time around. Not with him trying to throw their greatest wespon in jail.

    I shit you not, there's an opinion piece in the Boston Globe shaming Bernie for campaigning in Elizabeth Warren's home state of Massachusetts. :lol:

    Source:https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/02/28/opinion/bernie-sanders-goes-campaign-kill/#bgmp-comments

    Yes, it's an opinion piece, but it was still approved and published. I think it's hilarious. Do you think for two seconds Liz wouldn't be campaigning in Vermont? Of course not, nor should she avoid it for Bernie's sake. Just like Bernie, she's in this race to win. I swear to fuck some liberals are just off their fucking rocker this election season.

    Guess I should’ve gone with, that’s what happens when you have friends in low places.

    “They don’t tell people what’s been closed. They’ll tell you where to go,”....:unsure: okay let me read that again.
    Taking it easy, steady as she goes: “They don’t tell people what’s been closed." hmmm.... I'm thinking it would be good to know the locations of the closed locations so you...ya know...wouldn't go there.
    Wouldn't it make sense to tell people this? :unsure: But then they do a 180 and "tell you where to go." Well that's good news I guess! So like a Shroedinger's cat situation, they simultaneously keep necessary information from the voters, and give necessary information to the voters. :facepalm: Can somebody who speaks South Carolinian break this down for me?

    What gets me is that they claim they can't have these polling places in schools during school season. You know, something that is predictable every year. It's like setting up election day in November and changing it in late October because "holy shit, it's in the fall?!"

    yes that hit me too. School starts & stops at the same time year in and year out, not withstanding severe weather or other rare occasions. An example of piss-poor planning is my nearest voting location just down the road and very convenient because I go right past on my way home from work. However it's right at an intersection of two very crowded roads on election day because that's also the time of year when THE COUNTY FAIR is going on near the voting location. :facepalm: When I first moved here I almost didn't get to vote - I barely made the deadline because of gridlock. I'm not proud of it but I went off on the folks running the location. I ranted "why would have a location at this intersection when it's the only way into the fairgrounds? Is this a smart play?" :shakefist:
    Their defense was "everyone knows the fair is going on every year at this time." :shrug: My less-than-happy reply was "then why would you use this location if you know it's total gridlock for two miles in every direction? It's easier to pick another spot to vote (it's a church - more than a few in the south) than it is to move an entire county fair!" :shakefist: Maybe I was thinking too much like a transplanted Yankee, I don't know. But I had an epic case of the ass that evening!
