Gotcha, that’s what I would have assumed, but felt like I wanted to ask. Can’t say I disagree with any of that, Federally the US is a mess and it’s why state differences can be so stark and go from places like California, a place that would have like the 5th largest economy in the world if it was it’s own country, to places like Missouri that has significant amounts of poverty that resembles developing world poverty.

Do you mean ‘state level’ as in nation or like the individual states? No individual states are perfect, but a bunch of them are at least doing things you can be proud of at least in a discrete(as in disjointed from the whole) way if you can’t be proud of the whole state.

Losing NJ because you dont want to appease hypocrites is pretty silly.

And thats the reson people like him. He tells the truth about everyone instead of pretending the threat of a facist is a good reason to sweep all issues with your candidate under the rug and lie.

Considering how slow walking biden to the convention has been going lately it seems he was right.

Historically, violence is the only way to stop fascism. But if you want to play the fascists game of just going over the lines so you don’t respond with violence, don’t be surprised when they win. If you cant see the difference between violence to fight fascism and violence that is fascism then you’re a kind of ‘both sides’ person I don’t think has what it takes to stop fascists.

Seems like that’s the case. So do we ignore it because it’s hypocritical?

And employees under 18 too.

Huxley warned us that the things we love would kill us but I’d don’t think he thought it would be like this particular case.

I’ll be at the polls. As important as the presidential is this year the locals always have a large impact on a lot of non insignificant things, and sometimes massively significant things, as well as the ballot initiatives. In almost any race I can respect the choice of abstention, but if you don’t show up for at least the ballot initiatives, the closest thing the US has to direct democracy, then I just think you’re not even trying to make democracy work. I know I can’t say the gym isn’t working if I’m not even trying to use the equipment.

let pass harmful legislation before doing that

Of course if you remove words you change the context but that’s entirely grammatically correct and a common use of that phrase. If you wanna dwell on what those words mean in other context go ahead but that’s not saving any trans kids.

If were to assume that EO is Joe fighting back, then he did indeed let those laws pass without fighting back until it was an election season. Context is important and I usually don’t have to explain every word like its a middle school English class unless I’m responding to republicans reading my statements in bad faith.

Let’s get pedantic and semantic then shall we. https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/let-pass

The context was always how much was he wiling to allow before he responded and the answer is a lot.

How many states did he let pass harmful legislation before doing that? Or was the plan always to wait until the election cycle for that order? An election cycle EO that can’t pass the courts is indeed almost nothing.

I have no power over what republicans do because I don’t vote for them and never have. There is no reason for them to acknowledge me. Therefore I can scream to the high heavens about them sucking, and they won’t change a thing. Democrats I’ve voted for before, they actually have reason to listen to what I want to happen because it can net or cost them a vote.

Ill tell you what, you go yell at republicans and see how much progress you make, and I’ll continue to raise my concerns to those that have reason to listen to them.

Biden was never much of a fighter. He’s done almost nothing to help while dozens of states pass anti trans legislature. But hey he made it so trans people can join the military again, if they can survive their state that is.

Two days old and the memes already aging well as Bidens campaign says they don’t want to reform the Supreme Court.

To me I feel like they get the best deal, because the risk of both blindness and other complications from poorly managed diabetes is still much worse than this.

Its the people using this because they don’t want to make changes that are within their power but are difficult who are taking on additional risk for no reason other than convenience. That doesn’t mean everyone who doesn’t have diabetes but still makes up a large portion of the buyers of this drug.

If thats a STALKER refrence Im playing through those now to get ready for the new one.

They should start calling Canadian pre rolls ‘one timers’

Wierdos on lemmy not bringing up tankies in conversations that have nothing to do with them challenge level impossible.

Neutral Zone Kush hits hard.

When push comes to shove, libs on lemmy punch left at strawmen they created. Sorry your candidate looks so weak to everyone that even the media cycle is about it.
