Once this and the tax cuts pass, 100% of the GOP's time is going to be spent rolling out NC-style massive and obvious voter suppression efforts in the run up to 2018. The worst will come just before the election so that they cannot be challenged until after the fact, which suits them just fine

Every single person who still allies themselves with the Republican party must be made to answer for this, we have no allies and they do not work for anybody but themselves and their donors

Yeah I don't know what the gently caress to do about that other than shining a bright light on it and letting every person affected know someone is trying to cheat them out of a vote. It's one of the most shameful things they're up to and that's saying something and I get a bad feeling the courts are the last backstop against it.

They really do. But if they haven't realized this yet I don't know how they ever will. This poo poo has been obvious from at least the 90s.

Hell even earlier, Reagan just aww shucks-ed his way through committing literal treason to fund death squads. The idea that conservatives are interested in playing by actual rules is the most poisonous thing in politics.

Stop trying to divine how to win those people's love and just go make good policy and offer actual good poo poo. If they come, they come, welcome them aboard have some rich people's tax money and good services. If they want to wave their dicks at us as they drown in a sea of opioids and donald trumps piss? Fine by me. It's a free loving country, go eat poo poo and die if that's what you want.

I agree with this which makes it hurt more that 95% of the Dems (and 90% of any party that could theoretically replace the Dems) will try endlessly to save these people's lives, even as prolonging them costs them in elections as they continue to vote R

I always like to reply to that "but what if the community is dirt poor?"

"Well then they need to go to the next community over"

"What if that community is turbofucked too (I'm from West Virginia, you're hosed about 20 towns in either direction)

I feel like if you could keep up that whole conversation, they'd answer every town in the US should help out every other town that's having hard times without ever realising what they've described.

it almost feels like poo poo may matter because these people are just transparently skipping out on taking responsibility for killing millions of people smh

i dont get why people keep mattering and not mattering as a binary issue, i mean it once started out as a joke but day crew likes it literal

they aren't mutually exclusive :ocelot:

world crops up with different pieces of it here and there with tangential events, some things do, some things don't all at once simultaneously. It's not an on/off switch, there's a constant force out there.

i feel bad for the people who are waiting for the great mattering, much like people waiting for the rapture.

Because as even if a chain reaction happens like gee idk a government coup and a constitutional crisis, theres still some things that will be disregarded as "doesn't matter" as you sift through information that "does matter" to apply to the cataclysmic event that transpires.

It's all perception. Learn to disseminate multiple information and cherry pick your matterings and not matterings already, this information age is big league.

lmao, I don't think killing them via inaction or policy is really necessary. Just stop burning millions of dollars trying to make them love Ossoffs, stop being allergic to the idea that a lot of leftist policy is popular and attractive and spend some money on the good poo poo. Higher minimum wage, medicaid for all, gently caress all rich people in the rear end to pay for it. Stop giving any kind of poo poo about the Republican mindset and argument. It's garbage. Go do something positive, call their poo poo fake news and move on.

It's required to be revenue neutral the pass by reconciliation, ie 50 votes, so the CBO needs to score it. It will be since it just cuts funding for everything. As a side benefit they will also tell us how many people the bill will murder.
