If you want to go door-to-door in big cities in hopes that people will show up and vote Democrat, that might make a difference to that goal. I was saying getting people to show up and vote Democrat, however, will not make a difference in American governance.

I apologize for making the jump on my own.

@setsly @justinf

lol! Again their rhetoric is different but the capitalist tendencies of both are too similar to make a difference.

@setsly @justinf if the biggest difference you can make is voting, you live a sad life. If voting actually made a difference it would be illegal by now.

While rhetoric may be different at the policy level there is actually very little difference between the Biden and Trump administrations. ~90% of bills that pass congress have sweeping support from both of the old parties, and the few that don't may often be for show. For example the Biden and Trump backed immigration plans are practically identical but the Republicans want to act like Democrats are trying to "destroy America" or something so they say they vote against it. Somehow the general public thinks Biden is pro freedom and Trump is irrationally protectionist and racist.

If you want to actually make a difference take care of the poor in your town, volunteer at the soup kitchen, help with the Girl Scout troop, raise a big family that is respectful to all and cares to make an even greater positive impact than you ever did. And before you ask, in many parts of the country they are trying to make some of such things illegal.

Doesn't it matter where the interest on the payment of those loans go? If a public bank doesn't the interest go to the treasury, versus a private central #bank in which case it goes...somewhere else?

Wouldn't a truly public bank, rather than lending money to the government, forbid lending to the State and instead lend all the money in the country to private sector borrowers and fund the State on the interest there of? In lieu of or in addition to #taxation?
