I am honestly not trying to concern-troll, or even “Not All Texans” the conversation. I do live in Texas. I even remember when Texas was blue. But I also understand, from a blue dot in a red sea, how much frustration we feel with the idiots who seem to enjoy voting against their own interests. I say “seem,” because…

In pursuit of ‘free and fair’ elections, Texas may have a very real voting integrity issue on it’s hands now and I, for one, cannot wait to watch it implode.

Ahh, yes, the Snopes standard

You can still get covid with vaccinations, but the vaccine lessens the degree to which someone suffers if they catch it.

Actually, we very much love our freedoms. We just don’t believe it is up to anyone besides ourselves to grant them and take them away.

why have medical staff’s nationwide been reduced year to year throughout the pandemic?

No, never in history have hundreds of thousands had their livelihood at stake because they are not participating in a medical procedure.

The people who spoke about and proposed alternative measures are treated as absolute pariahs and mis-informers in this nation, in spite of many of their early theories coming to fruition.

I’m for Universal health care, and free community college to better our society

Libertarianism is just a long way to say “selfish.”
Fewer laws (that affect me!)
Fewer taxes (although I will keep using the things taxes PAY for)!
Personal responsibility (which means I’ll act however I choose, even if it inconveniences others)!
Certain laws don’t matter (I choose which ones)!

They’re really just…

I was a center-left progressive, but now all we hear from the left is just as crazy.

I am very Liberal socially but from what I see from the left, it is pushing me more towards the right politically. I am with Bill Maher on this, I didn’t leave the left, the left (left) me.

Oh for fucks sake. It’s incredible how we went from “a very small number of breakthrough cases” to now the logic is I didn’t die from Omicron.

“50,000 logistics experts”

I had a fever for 5 fucking days while being fully vaccinated.

Beyond that, the corporations and their US Government lap dogs responsible for this vaccine that theoretically would have completely ended the virus and all mutations immediately made absolutely 0 effort to vaccinate the globe

But mutation was never preventable. And this vaccine does not prevent infection...

But the high schoolers who have to make your cheeseburgers for slave wages shouldn’t be required to in order to participate in society, and anyone who doesn’t want to, should never have to.

Sure, and even more have elected a man who is just letting COVID rip. So really, what’s the difference?

My issue is that I have zero confidence that prison will make this guy any less of a predator, and is highly likely to make him even more of a danger to society.
