Yeah. Voting blue no matter who turned out to not be a good strategy.
Liberals suck so much. She was probably told the talking point "protect children" yada yada and just signed it hoping to score political points without any critical thought on how it's the opposite.
She also signed an EO that lets people get covid shots without a perscription because the fed is run by people intent on destrying the country, so.
She is acting on behalf of lobbyists. That's how America got to this stage. Lobbyist lawyers and marketers write laws that benefit them, and they "donate" to politicians to pass that legislation.
The only politicians who actually read anything they vote on are leftists like Bernie and AOC; everyone else is doing what their financiers tell them to do.
Lobbyists for what?
Pocket pussies
Christian Nationalism
Okay thanks. I was just confused if it was the covid thing
Big Blueballs™
I wish someone would make a "protect children" bill that actually protects children
But that would target all the people in power.
They're craven and evil–not compulsively evil like the red menace
And so we should need a prescription for a COVID shot? Am I misunderstanding you?
No its just the contrast between nonsense and common sense.
Ah, yes, agreed
It doesn't stop fascism, that's for sure
It's funny how you relabel harm-reduction in voting, and imply the alternative wouldn't have been far worse. It's an art.
Weird how none of the party backed whatshisname in new York. Please stop.
It's harm reduction to vote for someone who just lets fascists implement their policies, anyways?
Yes because they're quieter and the white cis middle class liberals can all pretend everything's okay. The gay ones too, until recently.
Harm reduced. Not even some bullshit evisceration of a homeless guy (which I wanted) or harrowing shit done to trans people (which I could not give a single shit about) or immigrants dying in cages (behind tall walls where i don't have to see them); harm to me! Harm that matters!
How about that Keir Starmer?
Nothing makes me more hostile to the idea of voting blue than this fractally abusive rhetoric. If you're a RNC operative, you are a very very good one.
The larger problem is that the Democrats are worthless and unpopular by design. So they are incapable of defeating the Republican. There is no alternate vision, they are playing defenseon what the Republicans do.
So while it might be better than the alternative, the alternative is inevitably going to happen because they suck.
Exactly! Alternate visions are not welcome in politics.
A vote for a democrat is at best toilet paper.
It would have worked if the tankies and the normies had actually bothered to vote! But no, you rather vote for genocide and fascism by staying home.
