Man, we need to forbid conservatives from seeing the results tallied until the final count is determined. Their malformed minds can’t understand why when you continue to count until everything is counted the total number counted at any time will change.
Seems like it’d be easier to just add a tax on the domestic internet plans rather than try to gather a tax from every recipe site and blog someone visits.
I mean sure, but that won’t happen in 2 years. They can enact voter reforms that will enable future leaders to do that within 2 years, however.
Colorado banned gender affirming surgery for minors and required that children play only on scholastic teams that match their gender as defined by their sexual organs, set up life in prison for trading something of monetary value to have sex with a minor, and shipping people off to adult timeout for 8 years for having any amount of fent regardless of reason.
Progressive candidate wins across the ballot, but simultaneously passing regressive policies via ballot measures. That implies to me that this was solely a knee jerk reaction to Trump and not actually a deep seated progressive initiative that will last. What Dem’s need to do now is seize this opportunity as a mandate, eliminate the EC, establish independent redistricting commissions, ban private money in elections, set up public funding for races, etc. to construct a more equitable playing field for future elections. Meanwhile activists need to continue to work on messaging and figure out how to let people know that a trans kid wanting to play ball with their friend isn’t a threat and doesn’t require a mandatory genital inspection by the coach.
2028 won’t be a shoe in, and it may even be harder than the midterms were for Dems as they fight against the American civic ignorance and misunderstanding of why the “blue wave” didn’t stop Trump doing bad things.
Did the Dems pick up enough to clear a filibuster?
The party opposite Trump’s won enough federal seats to:
They did not win enough seats to:
The effect of that is:
On a state level a number of states that were part of Trump’s part strongholds have flipped therefore:
That means:
All told, everything at the federal level is blocked, but there will be more “news” about proposals that don’t go anywhere or investigations that turn up vile crimes that can’t carry any charge. States have an opportunity to make future elections look like this one, and there will be more action to hold federal individuals to account so there will be more “news” of [state] finds [billionaire, politician, ice agent] committed [fraud, murder].
To be fair, I think Steam’s actual launcher is the worst part of interacting with Steam, but it works well enough and everything else about the steam experience is smooth and all but like 30 of my games are there so I keep using them. My point being, even if someone made a better launcher that wouldn’t be enough in part because there launcher is only part of the experience.
Nor are their politics!
Military Ops.
Their reporting requirements are often reduced out exempt so exact numbers are difficult to pin down, but the US DoD is the single largest consumer of fossil fuels.
When they aren’t flying to kill people they are flying to practice killing people, their terrestrial vehicles weigh significantly more than civilian counterparts, and the intent and practical effects of their munitions is literally destruction.
