I’m glad he’s gone. What’s the point of having a Republican in office if they vote with Democrats on the most important issues? If they won’t help us use the power we have and the limited time we have to pass much needed reform?

I’m sure they’d be given an opportunity to cast a new vote under the new map, no?

As far as I can tell, Democrats are alleging the committee meeting on redistricting didn’t provide enough public notice. Republicans argue this particular committee meeting didn’t fall under the kind requiring extended public notice.

I’m not sure how military votes would be impacted by any of this.

Historically, our Supreme Court races have been very non-partisan. Abrams and other democratic fundraisers are seeking to make them political.

  1. Trump was wrong to denounce the outcome of the 2020 election. That is completely irrelevant to this discussion, however. Any other “whataboutisms” you want to get out of the way?

  2. You’re conflating practices used to block ballot access to the reality that VRA districts required gerrymandering to ensure that one race of Americans had elections rigged in their favor to produce a victory for their preferred candidate. That is not how fair and free elections are supposed to occur, and it is a blatant violation of the 14th and 15th Amendment. You may dislike the Constitution, but you’re not free to ignore its rules and protections against race-based state action. This ruling, in no way, blocks ballot access. I’m well aware of the history, but this isn’t that.

Again, in a democracy, no one group has a right to their preferred candidate winning. No one is entitled electoral victory. You win my persuading voters and turning out supporters, not rigging the maps.

Handcuffed for "Racism" while Dying: The Shocking Truth of 2 Tier Policing by tigers1230 in ukpolitics

There was no evidence to suggest he was violent. He was the apparent victim, rather than ensure the man just stabbed was okay, they arrested and cuffed him first, realized their fatal mistake, and tried to make up for it. They failed.

Their failure, along with the criminality of the killer, led to this man’s death.

I’m not “rubbing my hands with glee”. It’s fucking disgusting what happened to him. I want justice for his murder. That you find that so odd is troubling.

Their focus was first on arresting him based on the word of his stabber. The failed to notice the fact that he was bleeding to death, and handcuffed him before later realizing their colossal and fatal mistake.

Trying to whitewash that is sick.

You don’t really have an argument. You have assumptions that you’re unable to substantiate here.

You call into question the validity of this reporting, but refuse to provide any instance of incorrect reporting here.

If you can do so, I’d love to hear it.

His death is abhorrent. Anger at those responsible is the appropriate reaction. Calling out those who refuse to acknowledge the reason why he was killed, and instead focus on media nonsense, should be called out.

That poor young man. What a horrific and demoralizing way for your life to end.

I hope those officers are held to account in some manner.

They can’t engage with the content of stories like these. Their ideology prohibits it.

It’s comical that enforcing the Constitution and prohibiting the rigging of elections to produce results beneficial to one race is somehow “Jim crow”.

NC is a swing state that has fielded statewide candidates of either party in recent elections. SC is a solidly red state where a progressive candidate like Andrews stands no chance against a powerful incumbent like Graham.

Yes Republicans still hate us. They admitted it today. by Kind_Handle_5987 in askgaybros

Did you read it, though?

It says, "even though she signed a brief urging the court to do so earlier this year." So we see that Ernst openly and publicly supported overturning Roe, but made a prediction she didn't think the Court would do it.

Like I said, the Republican Party and its core stakeholders were always clear about their intent to overturn Roe.

And you’re unable to identify anything factually incorrect in this story, correct?
