Been panicking since 2015, at this point my body is made up of 90% stress hormones and a giant ulcer.

Yeah but if he wins there is going to be violence. I’d rather take my chances with the violence that happens because he lost than because he’s ordering people that disagree with him off into camps.

That’s the problem, no one remembers these idiots so the next generation keeps making the same mistakes. We should write this shit down in books, then actually teach it to kids, but fuck funding the soft sciences as long as the football team has new jerseys.

Give them time to lobby and get a friendlier judge and try again.

I thought he’d left already, or was that only in spirit?

OMFG. Seriously that’s all I can think to say Oh My Fucking God. Not just the potential damage it can do to trans kids, but also just the total fucking waste of time and effort for no fucking purpose but performance. It’s like the fucking TSA, not actually doing anything, just making a few idiots feel safer with their little song and dance.

The only correct response, you don’t bargain with terrorists. Her turning up and debating it legitimises it like it’s an actual educational option and not lies.

Because they can pay kids less than minimum wage.

He can be both.

OK tell me when RGB could have resigned and have us get another Dem in? When Obama was in? Sure only he only had the majority for 4 months and he was trying to get a health care plan through? And he had enough trouble with getting one Supreme Court Justice in, and failed, do you really think he would have gotten 2 in? She hung on hoping for an overwhelmingly Dem win in 2016, which is what all the polls told everyone would happen, only a bunch of fools thought protest voting was a thing and that the most qualified candidate in the history of people running for President should lose to a hate filled businessman because she didn’t have a penis. So she should have retired under Trump? Given them a Republican on the Supreme Court 4 years earlier, no instead she did the only thing she could which is hang on as long as she could spending her last days trying to stay alive long enough for us to rectify the mistakes we made and she almost fucking made it.

Yeah, but it does. I have the right to bodily autonomy, but watch me try and get an abortion in some states in the US and see what happens.

Cool opinion, just explain to me how say a mother of 3 that can’t find or afford a sitter is supposed to vote? Or her husband who is working 2 jobs to pay rent is supposed to find time? How about the elderly that don’t have a car? The handicapped? What if I have a contagious disease? I should just turn on up to a busy polling booth and spread my TB all over the place? Or am immunocompromised and could die from a cold, probably spread by that sick person that had to turn up to vote? All those people lose their right to vote because they can’t get to a polling place on the one day they allow voting? You are removing their rights why?

Which time? She keeps saying different things and changing her story.

Stay at home wife. I used to work as a bookkeeper, now dealing with some health issues. However I am 55 and have used computers since as long as i can remember, I learned how to use punch cards in what you yanks would call middle school. So I don’t work in tech, but it doesn’t bother me to learn new things. Lemmy reminds me of the good old days of BBS and just trying things out to see what stuck.

2016 was the year a whole bunch of people were convinced that “protest voting” was an actual thing and that “both sides are the same so don’t bother voting”. Hopefully a few of those people have learned their lesson.

This both sides the same bullshit is how we ended up with Trump in the first place. Stop it.

It’s really crazy that people thing he’s only popular because of the “other than Trump” phenomenon. The guy has done a lot of good, the Dems aren’t planning to kill me if I have an abortion, end my friends marriage or call the local drag queens who entertain me on a Friday night pedophiles, there are a lot of reasons to vote for the Dems aside from then not being Not Trump. ie they aren’t trying to take anyone’s fucking rights away to start with.

He’s less cordial than Obama was. Obama was all about getting consensus. Everytime the GOP or the SCOTUS do some shenanigans, Biden and his team come up with alternative plans to try to do end runs around their bullshit, he’s not trying to get the GOP onside he’s trying to govern around them. Obama would never have done that.

Yeah, they’re going to have to stop saying they are “Pro Life” and claiming they worry about “the babies”.

I still wear one in crowds. I had a lobe of a lung removed due to a rare cancer. I’ll never be cured, but will slowly loose lung function as airways are blocked. If I’m lucky it’s a disease I die with and not of, so I am treating my lungs like the delicate little flowers they are and fighting to avoid any and all respiratory diseases I can. I am now also queen of the hand sanitiser when out in public. The stuff from Bath and Bodyworks is da bomb, smells like hand cream.
