...you want to use State power to bar a US citizen from running for office because she appeared in a photo, but you're accusing us of being arbitrary and authoritarian?
The Green party was represented at the Supreme Court by Jay Sekulow, a Trump ally who was part of the president’s legal team during his first impeachment trial.
Yeah sure, it's the Democrats who are being dubious here...
The party doesn't care about him, specifically. His polling has been under water for months, and anyone who's not utterly delusional knows he's about to get thumped by Stein. They're now worried that if he stays in the race over the next month and a half, he will continue to be a lightning rod for Democratic attacks, especially on abortion, and that'll continue to dampen Trump's messaging. Still not convinced NC could go blue, but if it does, Robinson will be hugely responsible for it. He's a fucking moron who makes Trump look sane and stable.
I hear you. Didn't mean for that to come across as an attack on you.
Lemmy is such a fickle place. Just a few days ago people were clamoring for Democrats to make a purely performative abortion vote that would be doomed to fail, merely because it would send an important signal to voters. Now people are skeptical that performative signal votes are sincere because they won't go anywhere. Not saying you, specifically, but the whiplash is really frustrating.
Second, sure, it's a low risk bill because they know it won't go anywhere, but damn isn't it good news that somebody is putting their money where their mouth is? Maybe we just need to primary in more Dems who will sign on and help push it through?
I heard, "This...motherfu-- former president."
Just wanted to direct folks to !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world, which is a brand new community for exactly these kinds of discussions. Cheers!
Removing for editorializing the title, and locked due to multiple violations of Lemmy's ToS.
Wait, was he the good guy with a gun or the bad guy with a gun?
