Soooo… She has an even more zero chance of winning now? Seriously. Did anyone even remotely think she had a chance? Nothing she says will damage her chances to win if she has no chance to win.
Though no-fault divorce was first legalized more than 50 years ago, it has long been sneered at in conservative circles, who see it as a danger to the sanctity of marriage and the concept of the American family.
Without even reading that article, I’m going to guess that no fault divorce is something that benefits women. I’m basing this solely on the fact that conservatives don’t like women much- as most of their policy seems to be designed to hurt them in some way.
all Trump voters expect a pass for being stupid.. you all expect a fucking Excuse Me card at the end of the day, for being fucking stupid enough to vote for that piece of shit.. and you only voted for him because he's a piece of shit just like you, so fuck all of you.. every last Goddamned one of you..

Donald Trump has been on a prolific Truth Social tear, calling for the execution of a top US military general, vowing revenge on NBC Networks and demanding that Republican leaders take action against automatic voter registration to protect him from once again losing the popular vote. All of that was over the weekend. On Monday,...
A Florida board picked by Gov. Ron DeSantis to run the area around Disney World defended stripping park employees of their perks — moments after a pastor invited to speak urged attendees not to “resist authority.”
Since they’ve been shrinking down the size of their meals and raising the prices along the way- I’ve no sympathy for them at all. Let them go under. We’d be better off.
In December 2019, when he was facing impeachment for his scheme to extort Ukraine into smearing his leading political opponent, President Donald Trump warned that his party would take revenge when it had the opportunity. “Some day there’ll be a Democrat president and there’ll be a Republican House, and I suspect they’re...
Remember when the cowardservatives all claimed that the left would lose their collective shit if they didn’t win the election? And that if the conservatives lost, they’d do it with class and dignity?
Seriously…. Is there anything they say that actually honest?
They need to be dismantled, brought to justice, and exiled for weaponizing our system of law because they didn’t like the outcome.

They don’t oppose it. Their idiot loyalists do. And they need their loyalists to be dumb and submissive so they can get votes. So they play into their voter’s ignorance and this is where we end up.
I guarantee the politicians don’t care one bit about reproductive rights.

Aaah… the optimism of youth. Listen, you’re not going to do a damned thing about government spending. Period. Full stop.
Many generations before yours have tried, and it’s worse now than it ever has been. Wishful thinking doesn’t make changes any more than chastising those who tried and failed before you.
I have control over wether or not I give a homeless person money to by booze. I don’t have control over the government using my taxes to buy more weapons.
This is the fundamental reason why I and many others have told you how this meme is fucking stupid. You refuse to accept it.
No one here said voting doesn’t create change. Don’t be so naive. The fact that you so easily create blanket arguments where there are none shows your ignorance in discussing these topics.
What IS being said is that your taxes WILL pay for the military. And you have NO choice in this.
No politician believably platforms on lowering military spending. It would be career suicide. They are all for it- every single one of them. But you go ahead and keep believing your vote will change militarily spending. And hold on to that shit as long as you can, because once you stick so much as a toe into the pool of reality, things go downhill very rapidly from there.
Stop with the blanket statements. Not everything is black and white. I’m surprised no one has told you this yet, but life happens in the grey area, otherwise known as the in-between area of extremist views like yours.
You vote changes SOME things. SOME. NOT ALL. You WILL NOT change government’s usage of your taxes to fund the military.
Again, because you can’t seem to grasp this simple concept:
One example doesn’t encompass the entirely of of a thing. Such as the old saying ”all thumbs are fingers….”
Because your vote POTENTIALLY changes SOME things, it does not by default change ALL things.
At this point, I cannot simplify it any better for you. You’re going to need to read a few books on the subject. I’d recommend you start with the definition of “some,” and then move on to more complex things like the ideology of blanket statements and why you shouldn’t make them.
ROFL your comment history is almost -4000 downvotes kid. It seems to me that the entirety of lemmy disagrees with seemingly everything you say.
You should probably just post content and shut up about it. Because the moment you so much a breathe a word, people seem to hate it.
But that’s everyone’s problem, right? You can POSSIBLY be wrong about something.
You’re somewhat fascinating. I’m now wondering what psychological condition you suffer from. Please. Let’s continue this. I’ll bet I can figure it out.
McConnell’s term is up in 2027, and he’s ensured that if he were to retire before then, anyone who replaces him would have to be a Republican.

I won’t say there’s no such thing as a good Republican as I am adamantly anti-blanket statements, but I’ve yet to see one. Having said that, it’ll just be more of the same. The turtle will pass and a new dipshit bootlicking clown will take his place.

Conservatives want pure red states to live in, and they’re getting their wish granted. Though it should be noted that they were wanted that research has shown that tech and academic fields were dominated by liberal leaning people. What did they think would happen when they went full Handmaid’s Tale?
