They also want women to stay at home, though. So having them forced to carry the baby and then lose their job plays nicely into their goal of forcing every woman to be a stay at home wife.
They’re more likely to put up with domestic abuse if they’re completely reliant on the man, you know.
If I was trying to influence the results towards Republicans I’d probably say the exact opposite, to make people rooting for El-Sayed not bother to vote.
Solid point. I donated to Bernie Sanders when he first ran for president, and I have been spammed to death ever since. It felt like I was being punished. I never gave them another dime.
Who says she started the shenanigans now?
The UK is way ahead when it comes to banning speech. So the knowledge transfer can go both ways!
It was called Affordable Care Act before Republicans nicknamed it Obamacare. Are you getting your chronology backwards, or did it have a third name?
Anyway, naming things better won’t work on that group, because you can’t force Fox News to use the real name and not some derogatory nickname.
He does. Paxton stated that his poll numbers were hurt by Trump’s midterm convention. Trump doesn’t respond well to comments like that.
That whole premise doesn’t make sense. At the time of voting, you do not know what party would be in the majority. With slightly different results nationwide, Fetterman could have been the tipping point in the Senate. If he voted with Democrats even just a single time in those conditions, that would be better than Oz.
If we’re looking at his current impact given the results we got, it’s probably better to consider what he voted against. Democrats obviously can’t pass anything right now, but which Republican bills have failed? Not a lot, Republicans mostly vote in lockstep, but there have been a couple of budget bills, and most importantly the SAVE act failed by a single vote. Fetterman voted against it. With Oz in that seat it would almost certainly have passed, making it a lot easier for Republicans to ratfuck the midterms.
Regarding your comments on Fetterman reflecting poorly on Democrats, I have never seen anyone make this claim before. In general, people understand that Democrats don’t control Fetterman, and whatever he says only reflects poorly on himself. This is a lot like how we felt about Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin. The sentiment I’m seeing is to primary them next time and move on.
I also find it cute that you announce preemptive victory if I don’t respond to your comment, considering I already said I was going to disengage. This time around I’m actually dropping the thread, though, so feel free to lay the logical fallacies on thick in your inevitable reply.
Name one vote any of the other Democrats made a difference on. They’re in the minority, none of their votes can do shit!
I have to assume you’re arguing in bad faith at this point. I’m going to disengage from this conversation.
That’s self-contradictory. If he’s sneakily voting with Democrats now just to flip when they’re in the majority, why would he say that stuff and blow his cover? Is he being sneaky or not? Make up your mind.
I think it’s far more likely that he disagrees with Democrats on some high profile stuff, but still agrees and votes with the Democrats for a bunch of other stuff. That’s still better than having Dr. Oz, who would vote in lockstep with Republicans on absolutely everything.
You could say that about anyone in the minority party at any time. You’re assuming Fetterman would change his voting pattern with Democrats in the majority, with no data to back up that assertion.
I don’t like Fetterman either, but the time to fight him is in the primary. In the general election you pick the lesser evil, and the lesser evil is never the Republican.
You think Dr. Oz would have been better? I have my doubts.
Instructions unclear, put a D20 in the fuel tank.
In the most roundabout way possible. Just remove the tax on undyed diesel, then.
I think it just means they care more about the midterms than they care about Hegseth.
I get where you’re coming from, but he could easily argue that he needs a Republican majority for the bill to pass, and that the conditional is referring to that.
He’s not really buying votes if he’s promising it to everybody. At that point it’s just a stimulus.
Not everything can be reversed easily. A bunch of ongoing research was destroyed, for example. The consequences of that stunt will be felt for decades.
There’s even more precedent for him doing illegal things! So it’s all fine. /s
Who says that’s their goal? Their goal is to force the women out of the workplace and making them stay at home wives.
