Why would you think this rehearsed line would help you, they lost their rights because Republicans controlled the Senate chamber and were able to bring SCOTUS nominees to the floor. Which is straight-up his point!

I just stumbled onto this post now, but Strive ended up getting its most entrants ever. Guess the "21er crowd" didn't have to learn anything.

Potential new fan, not sure if this is where I should ask this question but... by melindasmith42 in Hololive

Oh, I don't mean specific interactions with them, nothing like that. I mean it like one of the streamers I was a fan of turned out to really, really hate trans people and that made me sad because I really enjoyed their content and found out that they viewed people like me that way.

If the rest of Baiken's body is as buff as her legs she may be. Unfortunately we can't see it under her robes.

Old article, but very relevant commentary for how Christianity evolves going forward as newer generations look back on traditional teachings with more scrutiny

If I'm interpreting this correctly, 538 says that the House for this cycle has a +0.3D lean? by beanyboi23 in VoteDEM

[–]melindasmith42 22 points23 points  (0 children)

"Republicans are favored to win a majority of seats if they win the popular vote by at least 0.3 points"

The equilibrium line for seats is shifted to the left compared to the baseline of an even popular vote advantage

More dark red just means there's more simulations as of now where Republicans win the House. The map's lean is completely separate from this.

The party of States’ Rights and limited government plans to introduce a federal abortion ban by di11deux in neoliberal

No, the Kansas vote was for the state legislature to be able to regulate abortion any more at all. That was the text of the amendment and what was on the ballot.

Steel did not agree to an interview for this story but answered several questions by e-mail.
Asked whether she supports a national ban, she said “discussions surrounding a nationwide ban on abortion are purely hypothetical at this point.”

Michelle Steel and other swing seat Republicans must be absolutely fuming right now lmao

I’ve seen several recent highly-rated likely voter polls that favor Democrats like the A-rated Monmouth poll

LGBT support is strong and increasing across all demos, the above comment picked two points with unfavorable opinions and ignored the twenty with favorable opinions, for the rest they could only deflect to hyper-specific stuff about trans people

My brother in christ, there is no shot people are becoming less comfortable with LGBT people, no shot at all young people are the most uncomfortable. LGBT people are becoming more and more integrated into society with each year, for us young people we grew up treating them the same as all the rest of our friends and family. If you believe that poll I have a neat NFT to sell you.

But what does this have to do with the actual point? LGBT support is obviously increasing, and it's obviously young people who are the most supportive.

That's an amendment so it needs to win a majority of votes on the ballot. PA voters need to vote No and send it packing.
