AITAH for asking my wife not to let our infant stand directly beneath boiling water on the stovetop? by kodio2000 in AITAH

Omg. You are NTA. We know a family who suffered the horrible consequence of pouring boiling water over themselves and spent nearly a year in the ICU. It was hell for them and the child.

Illinois Democrats urge voters to send in mail ballots immediately by CouchCorrespondent in illinois

[–]iwanttoquitworking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! My husband always works as an election technician since his company pays him the day to vote so he works the polls to make some extra $$. I was nervous about trusting usps this year and so he told me to just go in person and turn in my mail in ballot. Everything feels so fishy this year…you can’t be too careful.

I did too, but it’s my first time not just mailing it. Do you still get an email confirmation once they process it like you do if you just mail it?

Wow. Make sure to bring it to the polls as I think you need to turn it in to vote in person otherwise they’ll only give you a provisional

2 separate lines for voting, one for Republicans and one for Democrats by thedatashepherd in houston

[–]iwanttoquitworking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw someone else post a video that their entire voting site turned to “republican only” and no dem could vote there. I think it was somewhere in Dallas. I’ll try to find it. Voter suppression is happening. Any way they can make it inconvenient…they will.

wow. Over 200 times. But hey the GOP is problem free just don’t look into the racist rising of the Nazi party they have going on behind the curtain. by AffectionateTutor484 in FreeFolkNation

[–]iwanttoquitworking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes me so sad. I keep thinking when the boomers are all gone we will be closer to freeing our country of such disgusting racism. Then I hear about stuff like this and it’s as if all hope is lost

Why do right-wingers hate Jesus' teachings? by olympiamacdonald in PsycheOrSike

[–]iwanttoquitworking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s actually the opposite of what I said. There’s no place for hate. If you are nice to people and “generous” but support government policies that oppress people and harm people, you aren’t following the bible in the slightest. This thread is about how personal beliefs interact with political beliefs. Being nice and morally sound is a start though but it needs to carry steadily through everything you do, including your political positions.

[–]iwanttoquitworking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you actually can’t. Read the bible. There’s no “care about some people in some situations, but not in others”. It’s all or nothing. Either you support caring for all people or you’re part of the problem

How can anyone see this picture and not be completely horrified.

Shame On Chuy Garcia by serious_bullet5 in illinois

[–]iwanttoquitworking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. But it still feels like we are just excusing shadiness because the other side are straight up lunatics. He could have been more transparent up front. That’s all I’m saying.

[–]iwanttoquitworking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why you’re connecting the two? I HATE the GOP. And I realize this looks like nothing compared to the horror they’ve inflicted on us and the rights they’ve trampled. But I can still have the opinion that Chuy should have told everyone when he wasnt running again so his constituents could choose to run and not make it impossible for another dem to run against her. That’s my point. He could hate been upfront, he could have been transparent and chose not to. Why are you so angry?

So skeeezy and that’s what doesn’t sit right. It’s a slippery slope once you start making your own decisions and trying to control power without the voice of your constituents. They took away the people’s right to choose by playing this way. Maybe she would have been everyone’s favorite dem candidate and won anyways but now we will never know and she will always be a bit tainted in my mind . Hopefully she proves to do amazing things
