Could you imagine it people acted like Biden, the President of the United States, failed you, a regular guy with no power to change global policy, instead of the other way around?

That surely did not lead to any disastrous mistakes. Now to take a big sip of my water as I look up which other Democrat won the election immediately after LBJ's term ended.

Why link an ad-riddled, copy-pasted, piece of likely computer-generated plagiarism that needs to go out of its way to not mention it's source?

Don't want to be the reply guy pessimist so I'll delete if you want, but not wanting to get over 50 employees is common for businesses because doing so requires a business to provide health insurance and comply with federal anti-discrimination requirements.

I had one that became an absolute monster and spawned dozens of babies despite my cat eating it for lunch every day. I'd say it probably needs more sun and less water. Let the top inch of soil dry out. But yeah mine got a ton of sunlight and seemed to thrive with that.

Elon dunks aside, that entire last paragraph is enough grounds to fire your OBGYN. Birth control is an amazing, liberating tool for some women and absolutely not right for others. A doc that doesn't understand that absolutely has stock on Tesla. That venn diagram is a circle.

That said we can't treat inpatient hospitals as some kind of infinite bag of holding. The same problems we have with lack of staff, funding, resources for all forms of voluntary mental health treatment are there in the hospitals as well.

Yes this is all true and would make a far better article than the one that sparked this discussion. We do have to square progressive values with the fact of treatment resistant/severely dangerous people. Currently we lock them away indefinitely but even in an ideal world what are the alternatives?

Very true. I do think articles like this distract from the options that are not as severe and restrictive as inpatient. Investing in free and accessible partial and acute hospitalization programs, substance abuse treatment, etc. pay dividends in preventing relapses, decompensation, and homelessness.

Yeah that's my point though. If we're not doing that first and then considering how to address the portion of the population that doesn't automatically help, it just seems like people are looking for a way to punish others instead of solving a societal problem.

It's like if your household had a hard time budgeting food and one guy is like "we should eat the dog!" Did we not want to try cutting down on going to restaurants first? Cuz if you don't wanna do that I'm gonna have to assume you just really want to eat the dog and you're looking for any excuse.

I'd take the proposition more seriously if these people wanted to focus first on exponentially increasing public housing, public transit, and extensive free public outpatient resources and then seeing if we still have a problem that could only be solved by involuntary commitment.

clearly just don't give a shit if they win. Seems to be the behavior of someone confident in a perpetual position of power given how wealth in our society operates. Win or lose, Ds don't change how they use political power. So not voting for Biden is not denying him power or teaching him a lesson

This is prob unclear bc it's hard to articulate but I guess I could just explain it as, I don't see voting for a guy as handing over power just given how the system is set up, where its guaranteed that one of these two will be the one in power when I wake up on 1/6.

Setting a moral framework where Dems are always responsible and Rs are not? Like we don't want to vote for the genocider Biden (understandable if you see voting as handing over power to someone) but when the next genocider is in office (R or D) our hands are clean bc we didn't vote for them?

I gotta say this is extraordinarily condescending. Consider that I've read a good amount of theory, law, and history and I simply came to a different conclusion about how I should engage in civic practice than you have. We may have even read and admired the same works.

but I also think there is room for radical leftist eco-terrorists in such a movement as well. So if anti-voters such as yourself also want to advocate drastic action I'm all ears. I just don't see this conversation ever going beyond vote/don't vote.
