USPol subtoot, "campaign donations" 

"I'm not gonna shame you for wanting to raise money for the person you want to vote for."

LMAO! Well I am! So let me take that weight off of your shoulders. The candidate has enough money to be on the ballot, so what's the money for? I think we got some scaredy-pants big-wallet white liberals who ought to be doing something charitable rather than self-interested for once.

"Wah! Wah! I am the most scared I've been in 4 years!!"

"😭 Poor people mock me for throwing away my money when they are in need even though I am soooo scared! "

You got a doctor? Got food? Got a house? Then stop being scared out of your money for the cause of some people who've got several homes instead of none you cowards!

You! Your fear is the most valuable commodity a politician could want. Bankrolling TV and newspaper ads for somebody isn't fucking charity work! Everybody already fucking knows, it's the fucking information age. You wanna help make the world a better place you start with your fucking neighbors asking for help. Crying and running to an active political campaign will ensure it gets flushed down the toilet to some cronies that nobody gives a shit about rather than needy people.

That money could have had a quantifiable impact getting someone a meal, funding their procedure, or stopping their eviction. You chose to waste it on feeding your nurtured political insecurities instead of feeding people. Get your act together.

Calling that shit a "donation" is spitting in the face of charity workers and the needy everywhere.

If you opened this and do not live in the United States, this is my invitation for you to get out. You may exit the ride now. Filter the uspol content warning from your timeline in the settings. There is literally no fucking reason for you to stay up to date with US political theater. It is completely inactionable and unhealthy for many people who live here, let alone people who don't live here.

There is no other place where foreigners will feel the need to even ask themselves if it is okay to "not stay informed". There really isn't much exceptional about the US and you shouldn't give loud news-obsessed Americans 8 chances to learn to tag their daily fear either. Just filter it, just block it.

@nightjar you spend too much time getting dressed. it's neither practical nor helpful and it's a pain for everybody involved. shit with your pants on

means testing doesn't stop determined fraudsters,

but they're an insignificant minority of applicants to government aid programs to begin with.

what means testing does do is convince people who need help that asking the government for help isn't worth the time or effort, and then provide an excuse to cut funding to said means-tested programs due to an artificially depressed number of applicants.

:anarchism:

they are only blobcats because they're subjected to earth's gravity and they're squishing against the ground

if you took a blobcat to space it would become an orbcat

You can also give a shit, which people tend to like, but only when it’s metaphorical
