Tuition-free community college would have benefited thousands of Americans and cost $9.5 billion per year, yet was cut from BBB because we “can’t afford it.” Well, the new defense budget is $20 billion more than the President requested. So what can and can’t we afford?

What are you going on about? You'll push the "lesser evil" lie and gaslight people to vote Democrat in the next elections.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Just as soon as they're done watching sports, playing video games and worshiping celebrities. Maybe on their way to shopping.

Not in my lifetime, for sure. A nation wide general strike would bring our overlords to their knees and we won't see it happen b/c not enough people on the same page. Too many, rightly so, focused on putting food on the table and paying rent. Who has time for revolutions?

Anytime. I wish people would realise this. There’s a point at which any government will yield - is it 10 million people? 20? Only takes a dedicated fraction of a population.

Apparently the four-year university lobby helped to kill it because it would hurt the profits of four-year universities.
