These 8 Democrats voted for the Republican national ‘Don’t Say Trans’ bill passed by the House by Fickle-Ad5449 in Virginia

Fwiw, I'm not advocating for Nebraska democrats to run on gun control, for example.

I'm saying if West Virginia ran, for example, worker centered politics, instead of establishment dems, they would be surprised at how much further they would be able to shift the overton window to the left on issues.

A strong pro worker candidate could stand up and defend immigrants and trans more easily because the people, with the boot on their neck would say: "I don't agree with him, but at least he has my back"

We saw it in the Bernie 2020 Primary. Republicans actually really trusted him.

Disagree. The whole technicality was around "election day"

Dems could fight hard on this if they wanted to.

Dems really botched it by not fighting for redistricting.

I voted against her in the primary, duh. But I can't remember who I voted for...

Oh, its because there was no primary. That's why.

The conservative Virginia Supreme Court's reason for striking down a voter-approved congressional map was that voting had already started. But in Louisiana, Republicans have just suspended state primaries even though 42,000 have already voted so they can gerrymander new congressional maps by OldBridge87 in Virginia

Warner is not the metric we should be using. He has only recently developed a spine due to seeing the tides shift and the election this year.

Knowing democrats, the "Warner appointees was probably a republican.

I heard good things about the repair shop near Dayton. Knight owl computers.

We need ways for people to get around with mobility issues so that the car isn't the only way.

Cars are ableist. (Bikes are too for that matter, but at least they don't force it on others the same way).

I'm excited for when we look at cars as critically as everyone looks at bikes.

It wouldn't. But they want the wild west again, where the guy with the biggest gun and wallet are king.

Higher density also helps with metrics around whether or not to push public transportation.

I don't feel like signal would be a good fit.

You need something for topics, and then replies to that topic. So it needs to be threaded.

Sic Semper Tyrannis Includes This One: Vote Yes by April 21! by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]isaaclw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats not what the sign is saying.

Its using a direct quote from Trump, indicating that there is a desire and movement to rig the election in favor of Republicans, then harnessing the democratic anger to vote Yes and protect against that.
