I have no objections to him dying in jail, he earned that all the way. I do object to the state making me a party to his murder though. I object to the death penalty, even for racist shitscum assholes.

Its at the end of the day a drop in the bucket. And sadly a LOT of people who tried to do the right thing got sick from these clowns and died. So they fuck us over regardless
I’m mad at them too, but a more progressive primary candidate would not be likely to beat Manchin. Sinema likes the power and money from being not-the establishment, but Manchin reflects his constituency (and yes, makes money off it). The DNC should be looking to replace Sinema and flip some other state.
I will support whoever runs against her in the primary, but since that isn’t until 2024 I don’t know how useful polls are at this point.
I don’t begrudge politicians in purple or red states as is the case with Manchin making calculations and not always giving the party what it wants but that should be based on actual political realities at home.
Act Blue is fundraising against her, and the main person who could run against her in the primary is polling higher than she is.
absolutely abhorrent and ridiculous. Democrats nationally need to concentrate on flipping any seats available in 2022 so that she and Manchin can be bypassed as needed.
I have lived a large chunk of my life in the developing world. Doing so has taught me to have immense faith in the strength and character of young girls and grandmothers from underprivileged communities. Faith in the rest of humanity, not so much.
People seem to forget that the city councillor/alderman/secretary of state today is the state senator/governor/congressman/president of tomorrow.
Not with turtleman and two Democrats pretending to be Republicans in the Senate. It really irks me that even with a majority, slight though it is, Democrats can’t get things through the fucking Senate. And I loathe turtleman. On principle I try to avoid wishing bad things on people, but if he got hit by a truck…
It’s a straw man, and it’s always been a straw man. What woman would want a doctor giving her an abortion against their will? No court is going to order such thing anyway because it would likely violate the RFRA, and this bill doesn’t touch that.
To be clear, Collins is concerned that doctors who have particular religious beliefs will be forced to perform abortions against their personal convictions
I get that national news is covering this, but all three of my local news stations are covering it like it was a girl from Indianapolis.
This is what I’m struggling with. How many women go missing in this country all the time because of the men in their lives, but why are we watching the murder of a young, petite, blonde woman?
How about for every Gabby Petito story Jezebel publishes, you publish two stories about BIPOC women who are missing and/or murdered?
only a scant 20 to 30 percent believed that the landmark abortion rights decision should be overturned
The problem has never been public opinion in general. The problem, at least in my state, is that the people who want to see Roe overturned vote in every fucking election, and the Texas legislature is dominated by lawmakers who only need their votes.
Uhhhh you know modern filibuster are always assumed to go on potentially forever. There is no after a filibuster in the senate. It's either get rid of it or they need 60 votes.
We cried when Trump was elected and were told he “couldn’t do that much damage.”
Yeah that was a red flag for me too. It’s a total cop-out and much as I hate to complain about America’s Benevolent Dad his need to play it safe and appeal to all sides all the time is really eroding his charm.
