So would other warning labels required by law also be considered a campaign against said products?

Colorado Republican Brutally Grilled By Local News Anchor: ‘Why Is Abortion Good For Your Girlfriend? Bad For Other Women?’ ( www.mediaite.com )

Colorado congressional candidate and sitting State Rep. Richard Holtorf (R) received a tough grilling this week at the hands of local 9News anchor Kyle Clark over his apparent hypocrisy when it comes to abortion rights....

Just want to say that Kyle Clark has been running a clinic on how to question conservatives.

Yep. At the very least, just make everything a civil union that any two consenting adults can enter into. Religious people can still get "married", it just has nothing to do with the government.

I don't disagree, that's just a much more involved change. I was just suggesting the bare minimum that would be relatively simple to implement.

Holy shit I totally forgot Dennis Rodman was best friends with Kim Jong Un. Id probably be cool with that being authorized, the last thing we need is that little dictator thinking he can grab a rebound.

A conservative not taking responsibility for their own actions?! I'm shocked. Absolutely shocked.

Okay obviously SCOTUS is the problem here, but Dick Fucking Durbin should've subpoena every single one of those fucks to testify before Congress. I don't care if they refuse, send the Sergeant At Arms and drag them in. And I'm not talking about just the conservatives. I want to know why the fuck Kagan, Sotomayor, and KBJ don't think they need an enforceable ethics code, because they've signed on to that too.

Letting these unelected zealots operate with minimal pushback is completely unacceptable.

Those people should definitely be parents. They're willing to dedicate a shit load of effort, time, and money to having a child. We should be helping those who rely on IVF as much as we can, they're going to crush it once they have a kid to take care of.

Remember Dems have only had all 3 (house, Senate, presidency) for 4 years of the last 24 years.

And when you take it to a filibuster-proof majority they have had even less control than that.

If there's any Republican who's gonna lose Florida it's gonna be Rick Scott. He's barely more likable than Ted Cruz.

@MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world avatar

even though they’ve been in power a significant part of that time

Since 1981 Democrats have had control of the Presidency and Congress a whopping 4 years. One 2 year period under Clinton and one under Obama. That's without factoring in the ability to fillibuster in the Senate. In over 40 years they've only had control 10% of the time.

maybe if Democrats actually did stuff to *make every day citizens lives better

That period of filibuster-proof control during Obama's term is why we have the ACA. It was ~70 days and they passed the largest healthcare overhaul in generations.

MegaUltraChicken ,
@MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world avatar

Absolutely. Obligatory fuck Joe Lieberman.

MegaUltraChicken ,
@MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world avatar

And a large part of that is because the GOP has a much easier job, they just need to stop the Democrats. They have no real interest in passing legislation most of the time, they simply need to stop the Democrats from enacting policy by whatever means possible and they've accomplished their goal. That's why the Democrats have to compromise and the GOP doesn't. It's not really a mystery.

Tad Lincoln spraying a bunch of dignitaries with a fire hose is pretty dope, haven't heard that before.

Freedom’s Just Another Word for Not Paying Taxes ( www.nytimes.com )

Why would billionaires support Trump? It’s not as if they’ve done badly under President Biden. Stock prices — which Trump predicted would crash if he lost in 2020 — have soared. High interest rates, which are a burden on many Americans, are if anything a net positive for wealthy people with money to invest. And I doubt...

When a person gets to a certain level of wealth, they seem to develop a mental illness.

I think the mental illness is developed well before amassing such wealth. It's one of the reasons they are able to gain it in the first place. Wealth is the end result, not the cause.

This is why we need to just give these fuckers a trophy, tell them they won capitalism at a certain amount and now all the money they make goes to fund public programs. Once they hit a certain amount of funding public programs they win capitalism+ and get a banner hung in Congress.

A new poll shows trouble for Biden with young voters, especially among voters of color ( www.npr.org )

It found that just one-third of all young Americans said they would back Biden if the election was held at the time the survey was conducted. The poll also reflects a virtual tie in the race. Biden leads former President Donald Trump by just two points, and 34% of respondents are currently backing a third-party candidate or said...

It's not worth blocking and most of the time their articles are perfectly valid political posts. It's just that everything that is presented always pushes a negative view of Biden.

OP has been pretty adamant that Biden will be replaced at the convention with some unnamed candidate, why does his polling matter then? They claim they're sounding the alarm, but everyone here already knows the alarm is going. Not only that but if you try and get any direction on what to do with this information they refuse to engage and go straight to bad faith debate bro bullshit. It's incredibly frustrating.

Making people feel worse about democracy and participating doesnt help us at all. It's not denying reality, everyone already knows reality is shit right now. We need people willing to work together to improve life for everyone.

What GOP candidates have the DNC boosted that went on to defeat the Democratic candidate? Just curious.

I really don't understand people who hang out in political forums but like, don't even have the ability to read the question before shooting off an unrelated answer. If Adam Schiff loses to Steve Garvey you've provided a proper example.

@MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world avatar

Steve Garvey hasn't won that seat. I would've preferred Porter win the spot in the primary but this is in no way an example of the DNC boosting a Republican and losing the race.

This was also the weakest case against him. Once he loses in November I can't wait to watch him deal with this shit 3 more times. He's either going to die in a courtroom or a jail cell.

-A Democratic supermajority in Congress

State Department official resigns after Biden administration says Israel not blocking Gaza aid ( www.middleeasteye.net )

@MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world avatar

So what's your solution? Who has a better shot at winning the election in November if they started campaigning today? I want a specific name and why you think it would work. You know better than everyone, this should be easy for you (everyone else, watch for this sidestep and refusal to actually answer or back up anything).

You're really good at claiming (almost to a point of preference) that Biden will lose and why we shouldn't support them but not once have you provided anything of value that people can take action on. Everything you post appears to be designed to make people more apathetic and less likely to be involved, why is that?

MegaUltraChicken ,
@MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world avatar

You keep saying Biden needs to be replaced but there's literally no candidate to replace him with that beats Trump. If you're so sure we need to ditch Biden, and you're not advocating for Trump to win, it seems pretty fair to ask what you think should happen. Until you do that it's pretty clear you're just spewing bullshit in bad faith.

MegaUltraChicken ,
@MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world avatar

And I'm telling you, there is no viable candidate you can nominate that has a better chance than Biden. "Generic Democrat" isn't a candidate. Who's polling better and is willing to run?

MegaUltraChicken ,
@MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world avatar

So then what take should I have to prevent Trump from winning? Specifics. You know what works, tell us. So far I've got:

  1. Biden is bad and will lose
  2. ???

Why can't you defend anything you say? Why do you need to try and dodge questions and play rhetorical games? I have had 1 simple question this entire time and you won't answer it.

MegaUltraChicken ,
@MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world avatar

You should first accept that based on all the information we have currently, Biden isn't viable as a candidate, and that by continuing to promote the position that Biden is the only option when they obviously aren't even an option at this point.

This is pure conjecture. You have not provided any viable alternative. Once you do that we can discuss other options and if Biden is actually less viable.

Can you point to a single misleading or inaccurate statement I've made about Joe Biden or the Democrats? Where have I ignored criticism? Everything else you say is based on this false and misleading premise that you've created and continuously cycle back to. You're claiming that my strategy is flawed without providing evidence of alternatives. It's amusing that you've written the same thing this many times to avoid backing up your claim but I think I'm good for now. You're just going to keep playing games. Luckily it's pretty obvious at this point.

See you later!

hell, the if dems had any testicles they would remove the filibuster and get on with actual governing.

They did... That's why McConnell was able to get the current picks in. SCOTUS picks just need a simple majority in the Senate.

If we take OP at their word (you shouldn't), this is how they're "helping" Biden.

They're also 100% sure Biden will be replaced at the convention, which would make their "concern" about Biden losing complete bullshit.

OP may not be a paid propagandist, but they're doing everything one would do. Including the response of "blue maga" or that we're delusional for seeing through this cheap bullshit.

MegaUltraChicken ,
@MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world avatar

Agreed.

Well closing arguments start Tuesday so it's more like 100% chance it ends by November.

If we don't then they've probably got a Trump person on the jury and we're looking at a hung jury.
