With a wannabe fascist dictator who wants to create a Christian nationalist country on the one hand, and abortion rights on the ballot, in one way or another, in many states on the other, it’s possible for a lot of states to become swing states this time around. A lot of people who might not otherwise vote may show up to vote for pro-choice candidates and ballot measures. That could be enough to turn some red states purple. Please don’t waste your vote on a third party Presidential candidate even if you think your vote doesn’t matter.

If you want to support third parties, do it at the state and local levels. You might find that hard to do though, since most of them, including West’s Justice for All party and RFK’s we the people party don’t have any other candidates running for any other offices at any other level.

These people are only running to siphon votes from other candidates and sway the election. West even has Republican operatives working for his party in North Carolina and Arizona to help him get on the ballots. We only know that because those states require signature gathers be registered with the states. You can bet your bottom dollar that they are helping him, RFK, and Stein in other states too.

Wrong. A vote for Stein, or RFK, or West is still effectively a vote for Trump.

Seems like a good time to point out that slavery was not really abolished by the 13th Amendment.

Section 1

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Emphasis mine. Former does not belong in that sentence. That is a current slave plantation and those are slaves.

You don’t want the immunity to stick? Then show SCOTUS why it’s a bad idea. Arrest their families. Use eminent domain to take their property. Abuse your power as president to show them how fucking stupid they are being.

Hilton, 43, accused the industry, which is worth billions of dollars, of being more interested in making money than protecting and caring for the vulnerable children it is responsible for.

At which point the Republicans present smiled, nodded, and made mental notes to check their investment portfolios.

Do two wrongs make a right? Is this woman just in her attempts to drown a 3-year old child?

How long until Abbott pardons her and says she was acting in self defense and had a reasonable fear for her life?

Good guy with a gun only works in Hollywood. In real life, the cops are going to shoot the good guy with a gun because he’s at an active shooting scene and he’s holding a gun. The math, like most cops, is really pretty simple.

Stealth Republican. I can’t say this for sure but, since the district leans so far left that the Republicans didn’t even run a candidate last time, this individual probably just ran as a Democrat even though she intended to support Republican positions once elected. Campaign as if you have the same ideals as the voters, then turn coat once you’re sworn in. It’s been done before.

Come on, it’s not like they’d forget to make sure they put all the bolts on everything or anything like that. Right? Right…?

Benjamin Franklin once said: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

This still applies.
