That Works posted:I went through the whole story as an example of incrementalism because its almost never a "here's a minimum no nonsense single policy" when it comes to firearm laws and as soon as one requirement is made / given then you're likely to keep getting more until it does become unaffordable (feature not bug imo). To be fair the slippery slope fallacy, is a fallacy.

Arven posted:I've been getting phonebanked by planned parenthood and democrats for the last week to try to fundraise off of whats going on right now. I'm just completely baffled why they think I'd give them money when they have explicitly failed and lost the battle. They proved they didn't have the will or means to actually fight for it when it mattered. I felt bad saying that to the volunteers they have calling me because so far they always just apologize and hang up, but goddamn. Forreal, like you guys won't even protect your own ability to even be elected to public office and you want me to believe you're gonna codify roe v wade if only you had a few more senators. lol?

Grip it and rip it posted:the last president is directly responsible for abortion not being available in about 1/3 of the country and people are still saying elections don't matter because ???? what exactly? The mentality that everything hasn't been fixed so nothing matters is such a lazy and entitled approach to life that it's no wonder that it's taken such deep root in a dying forum for middle aged sadsacks. Well now senate dems have a call to action about abortion and the opportunity to show the incredulous what they're willing to attempt to get abortion codified. I doubt yelling "Give us money and vote us into power 2022" is going to prove anything to them and I personally wouldn't be surprised if even a weird D super majority comes about that you wouldn't have random centrist d's navel gazing about decorum and states rights and tyranny of the majority

Good thing you mentioned this, as a resident of Atlanta who voted and got him in last year(you're welcome). Democrats currently have less than a few months, assuming that if it passes someone will challenge it in court preventing it from going through so it needs to get settled in the court, to protect Warnock by passing the John Lewis voting rights act. Without which the following seats will probably flip red and never go blue again.... Governor. State legislature in a red district Senate House in a red district Basically the only positions in this state with any sort of actual power besides mayor of Atlanta.

Godholio posted:This. I don't understand why this is so difficult to get. You're not going to fix the Democratic Party from the top down. You need to either scrap it and start over (good luck, the system is designed to prevent that), or you fix it from the bottom up over a long period of time. It loving sucks, but it sucks less than just stepping to the side so the loving Nazis gain and maintain power. I mean that's all assuming that amount of time exists at this point to allow the democrats to stop being feckless, reverse republicans loving up poo poo, and improve the collective welfare, before poo poo is just irreparable. I as a 30 year old computer toucher can hangout for another 38 years until statistically death takes me.

stealie72 posted:Look around at boring/lame elected positions in your area and run, especially if you're in a small town, and especially if it's the kind of place where republicans run unopposed. At least make them fight for it, and if you think you're not qualified for the job, so what, neither is the right-wing shithead running. He's just using it to spread bullshit and look toward moving up in the next election. Sorry friend, Until or unless Democrats get voting rights reform passed, Biden signs it, and the supreme court doesn't toss it Georgia is a lost cause at this point unless you wanna run for a mayor/position in basically a 99% democrat area such as City of Atlanta. Republicans have basically made it law in this state that the only fair elections in this state are overseen exclusively by republicans and the only rules that are fair are what ever they say it is, and if a Democrat wins, well obviously there's malfeasance so we have to run it back.

The one thing skeptical people have been saying is now likely true - it makes more sense for big venues to do testing/mask mandates versus vaccine-only door checking. At this point as far as I know only New York has a source of truth for vaccinations anyway. Everywhere else is on a pinky swear and easily spoofed paper token system.

Porbably costs less than $2 to make. If you had access to their network that's easy, otherwise you would have to find some way to talk to it but can easily do that off the shelf under $10. I mean that's how much apple could do it for at the end of the day, but DIY you're looking at an arduino board, a GPS module, a gsm module and something to power it. The board and modules alone are gonna run you 30-40$.
