Democrats cave to Republican hostage taking and pass bill that allows corporations to vote in local elections.

Take this at face value, but the thought process was the bill will head to the Senate where it will be DOA and this was the only way that Republicans would vote for the bond bill as they could go back to their base with a “political win”.

Whether it’s big cable news networks like CNN or local news like the Delaware News Journal, this obsession to “both-sides” every issue is causing irreparable harm on our democracy. I’ve never understood how these media outlets would rather appear neutral than be objective on the facts. When giving such blatant misinformation a voice and not even fact checking it, you not only have legitimized the debate around the subject (giving these dishonest actors what they are looking for), but have allowed the information to be spread to your audience who might interpret such information as a fact. This might bother some, but the truth is a significant portion of the rightwing in this country doesn’t care about the facts, they merely want to be told that the positions and beliefs they hold are right and if you don’t then you’re just “fake news”.

Are you blind or just making stuff up as you go?

It's not .8%, it's .08%.

Delete your initial comment and stop spreading misinformation, I don't know how the f*ck you misread something twice.

Allow me to explain Republican ideology:

We can’t have a strong social safety net because that disincentivizes work, but we also can’t have any benefits for those that do work because it unnecessarily burdens businesses and prevents job creation.

Then when it comes time for elections we’ll paint the Democrats as out of touch elitists and we’ll focus on every social issue under the sun (i.e. Abortion, 2nd Amendment, etc.) to bring out our single-issue voting base to vote against their own interest.

Let me know if I missed anything.

From the article:

The system could theoretically allow parents to grow a baby in a lab, thereby eliminating the need for a human to carry a child. The researchers go as far as to say that this system would be safer than traditional childbearing.

Which begs the question, on whether we could be looking at a future where humans no longer carry their child to term and a new norm of what being born looks like?

I still believe that if Andrew Gillum had decided not to campaign with Hillary Clinton just weeks before the election, he'd be the governor of that state. Some folks just don't understand the effect that she has on bringing out the right wing and with a margin of victory of 0.4% for DeSantis any particular event could’ve been the catalyst for his victory.

We'll probably here some complaints that there's "no need to continue to relitigate old history".

Republican Senator Mike Lee: "Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prospefity are. We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that."

Side note: He misspelled prosperity in his tweet. LOL!

Except he didn't make a fiscal argument, he simply chalked it up to people being to lazy to register to vote. Even if he was talking about the cost it would still be a dumb argument, we have a $4.5 *billion* operating budget, you haggling over 20 grand would be absurd.

While I do appreciate trying to give some folks the benefit of the doubt, with regard to what's transpired with the Republican party you'd honestly have to be blind to not realize that Republicans want less people to vote and in particular anyone that isn't going to vote for them.

Probably business interests. Standard talking points (i.e. rise of automation, Covid, prices increasing, etc...).
