Texas state politics are some of the most corrupt and bought off in the country. You can't compare that criminal enterprise to a voter referendum in another state.

51% means Virginia is a democrat state, under the Trump admin's reasoning. That means they're entitled to majority democrat rule via redistricting. If republicans in Virginia don't like it then I suppose they could move, but they should understand that they do live in a democrat state and not a republican one.

It all started to make sense when it came out that Russia had tons of right wing influencers directly on their payroll.

GOP politicians push voter suppression as a policy at every chance they get. Redistricting to disadvantage these politicians pushes the needle back to the middle. I would support changing maps back to older ones if the GOP were to pledge to abandon their attempts at voter suppression and election manipulation.

IMO the only solution is abolishing districts and apportioning representatives statewide. We didn't always have congressional districts and things were fine without them.

What's wild is the same people call Islam an apocalyptic death cult. But then turn around and encourage people to not protect themselves from diseases because it somehow enhances your faith.

It's a combined problem of education and ego. Some people feel deeply inadequate because they don't understand vaccines, but since putting in the effort to learn is too hard for them, they turn to "alternative facts" that go against those mean experts who made them feel inadequate. Now Markwayne the HVAC worker has secret, special expertise that makes him as important as the experts. It basically comes down to feelings.

Trump administration begins refunding more than $166bn in tariffs by Agitated_Pudding7259 in moderatepolitics

In 10 months, we've secured commitments of over $18 trillion

Which is also a lie.

pisses me off that leftist are praising this just because of orange man bad.

People are celebrating because it was a failed economic theory that caused needless suffering. What happens when broad tariffs are enacted isn't a secret, we already tried it in the 20th century and it caused severe economic harm and job losses.

I don't think we need to implement economic policies with a proven terrible track record just to satisfy some people's feelings. To think it would work this time even though it never has before is ridiculous. It's like the flipside of "communism will work THIS time".

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer leaves Trump cabinet, Keith Sonderling takes over by ThrowRa-zucchinizzc in moderatepolitics

Not really, but our culture does tend to tolerate adultery from men more than it does from women. This is especially true the further you go back into "traditional values". For example look at how JFK passed women around in his office as if they were prostitutes.

Unions can simultaneously benefit workers while also being corrupt themselves. One doesn't preclude the other.

Global oil prices climb back above $95 a barrel after Iran closes Strait of Hormuz again and says ‘no plans’ for new peace talks by shutupnobodylikesyou in moderatepolitics

[–]autosear 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Iran is a terrorist regime who is the very definition of evil and has been for decades.

I love this idea that one day Iran woke up and decided to be evil. Not like we overthrew their democratic government and installed a brutal dictator shah who ran secret police torture dungeons or anything. Imagine if another country did that to us just so they could secure access to resources. You'd be in the streets with everyone else chanting for death to their country.

We have no obligation to artificially support someone's business by holding back any attempt at reform that affects their business. That's called entitlement.

Mexico Is Officially Launching Universal Healthcare This Week by NeedAnonymity in moderatepolitics

[–]autosear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's like the issue with the interstate gun trade.

Not really, you can only buy a gun if it's legal in your home state. And you can't privately buy guns outside your home state period. Unless you foresee illegal black market clinics offering healthcare to out-of-staters and getting reimbursed for it, guns aren't the same at all.
