So you think some people's vote should have more weight than others? You're effectively anti-democracy and anti-equality? Noted. |

Biden is just another establishment shitbag. Bernie is too good a person to win. It's astounding he made it as far as he did. Ideally, Trump and Biden have stage lights fall on them during a debate. |
Biden could take Bernie as vice president couldn't he?
I would respect that, a opponent for the same party, and at the end of the day, they both get in.

He technically could, but he won't. He has already committed to a female VP candidate and possibly the most important thing for a VP for Biden is for them to be at least a bit younger, imo, as his age is one of his biggest weaknesses as a candidate.
That said, as a Bernie voter, I don't really think that Biden is a bad candidate. Certainly not worse than Clinton. Biden has been making a pretty concerted effort to collaborate with Bernie specifically and his platform has been shifted pretty far to the left on numerous issues. If you are a Bernie supporter, I feel it should be a pretty easy transition to vote for Biden in November, especially given the opponent. There is simply no comparing the horribleness of Trump to Biden.

In America, the left fights for voting equality and a high voter turnout, which is good for them. On the other hand, the right fights for voting inequality and voter suppression, which is good for them. Why do you consider the former to be a larger issue? |
Because he's clearly on the right. Obviously, he doesn't care about WHAT's right, he cares about what is beneficial for him!

Because in reality it's not actually 95%, the federal government through funding and other initiatives (and institutions) has a large role in the running of the individual states. |

That's literally not the case. Hell, the influence of something like farming subsidies & potentially new Dept. of Agriculture regulations is just one aspect that can directly affect millions in flyover states. |
That's not really getting to my point, though.
Do you think the department of agriculture would just ignore smaller states because they have less voting power? The federal government is supposed to consider every state when making decisions and distributing funding. So why would a bit more or less voting power change anything? Especially in a country that is so incredibly partisan that it doesn't matter where you come from but just which party you worship.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
So who is reforming the police yet?
All the brands that have people working in badly conditions or are accepting racism in some countries for that bit more profit showed their ''support'' and are now silent again because heck fuck human rights if it goes against capitalism ,they never really cared that much .
When are the people targetted that can actually make a change,when do you stop voting for dinosaurs that make a fancy speech about black lives matter without any plans to change things or without any planning on HOW to reform the police?
The world is slowly forgetting about it and all the violence in the protest never did good either and without change it is even more sad,the american army always had a bad reputation for the same lack of dicipline,and a part of the police behaves like that but on civilians, it's own civilians they should be protecting.
People cheer for their celebrities and agree with comedians to then just move on.

It's very unsettling to say the least.

Nah, more like what the SA (aka the Brownshirts) did 1929-1933 with most opponents of the Nazi party, political or otherwise. For instance, in that faithful 1933 election, most socialists and social democrats were locked up by the Nazi's Sturmabteilung so they couldn't even present themselves for the election, leaving only right-wing parties and centrists - and the NSDAP was by far the biggest of the bunch by that time. Easy to win an election if you lock up your opponents...
In other words, we're not quite at the equivalent point of the rise of the third Reich - but we're at the prelude already.

Well it may be, but what do you think should happen? These people being detained are not peaceful protesters. The mayors in these places refuses to do anything and tell the local police to back off. Should we just let the cities burn down?

It really does not like they target violent protesters but that they grab those that isolate themself too far away from the big crowd to question them,looks like a failed attempt to catch Antifamembers or gather information about them since Trump called that whole group terrorists and he puts good people in danger doing that.
