  Yeah. Voting blue no matter who turned out to not be a good strategy.

    Liberals suck so much. She was probably told the talking point “protect children” yada yada and just signed it hoping to score political points without any critical thought on how it’s the opposite.

    She also signed an EO that lets people get covid shots without a perscription because the fed is run by people intent on destrying the country, so.

      She is acting on behalf of lobbyists. That’s how America got to this stage. Lobbyist lawyers and marketers write laws that benefit them, and they “donate” to politicians to pass that legislation.

      The only politicians who actually read anything they vote on are leftists like Bernie and AOC; everyone else is doing what their financiers tell them to do.

      I wish someone would make a “protect children” bill that actually protects children

        But that would target all the people in power.

      They’re craven and evil–not compulsively evil like red team.

      And so we should need a prescription for a COVID shot? Am I misunderstanding you?

      • LodeMike@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        No its just the contrast between nonsense and common sense.

    It doesn’t stop fascism, that’s for sure

    It’s funny how you relabel harm-reduction in voting, and imply the alternative wouldn’t have been far worse. It’s an art.

      Weird how none of the party backed whatshisname in new York. Please stop.

      It’s harm reduction to vote for someone who just lets fascists implement their policies, anyways?

      source

      • primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yes because they’re quieter and the white cis middle class liberals can all pretend everything’s okay. The gay ones too, until recently.

        Harm reduced.

        How about that Keir Starmer?

      The larger problem is that the Democrats are worthless and unpopular by design. So they are incapable of defeating the Republican. There is no alternate vision, they are playing defenseon what the Republicans do.

      So while it might be better than the alternative, the alternative is inevitably going to happen because they suck.

        Exactly! Alternate visions are not welcome in politics.

        A vote for a democrat is at best toilet paper.

      Nothing makes me more hostile to the idea of voting blue than this fractally abusive rhetoric. If you’re a RNC operative, you are a very very good one.

    It would have worked if the tankies would have actually went out out and voted blue! But no, you rather vote for genocide and fascism by staying home.

  She’s a slim margin democrat governor. She might be calculating that placating this may end up better than letting the state house overrule her with something worse. Many here are also prudes, unfortunately.

  Swing state dems think running as Republican light is the way to win over voters, rather than push their own strategy.

  • LodeMike@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Its kind of insane. The whole reason trump is a thing is that the slightly reasonable repubs don’t have a choice, as opposed to the rightoids “”" best"“” choice being a Mitt Romney type.
