I’m not saying I hope they get cancer…
I just hope cancer gets them.

Oh I’m dead tired of it too, I can assure you, but banning a party is not an actionable solution; heavy regulation for polititians and political parties is:
in terms of the donations they can and can’t receive, the behaviour they need not to engage in, requiring a perfectly clean record (that includes corruption as well) and so on. Decisions should be backed by science and not ideology, religious discourse that isn’t about inclusion should be banned. Oh and no more lobbying for crying out loud.

Hopefully the new supreme court reform gets the US one step further towards that.

I with all this also was a purely American issue, but alas… Europe has to deal with all this crap as well…

A fan of the USSR I see…
Totalitarianism is bad, period. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It would not be any better in the long run.

That would not be democratic. It would be the exact same thing the GOP wants to do. Left branded totalitarianism would still be totalitarianism.

Look, you either kill rats or kill people. I love animals, it’s unfortunate we need to experiment on them, but it’s also naive to think we can make progress without doing it. At best one could make an argument for death row inmates to be experimented on, but that would be quickly shut down as unethical and there wouldn’t be enough anyway. There is no way around animal testing, we can only keep it to a minimum.
