Mr.TaterSalad Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 It's really a shame Beto is going to lose by 8-10% points because he'd be a really strong leader as Governor. This is the kind of anger and fervor Democrats need to campaign on when it comes to guns, book bands, rigging the election, overthrowing democracy, abortion rights, healthcare, money in politics, corporate welfare, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.TaterSalad Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 All those conservative Hispanic/Latino decent voters in west and southern Texas should look at that speech by Beto and then look at the guy they are about to vote for and ask themselves what type of America and what type of Texas they want to live in.

smr-nj Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 So basically … what we’re telling our children is that, hey, you’re not safe at school, so we’re gonna teach you how to hide. What the fuck man… Is this the best we can do for our kids? This is the best we can do? How do you look at this and other incidents (which by the way they were 27 other SCHOOL shooting incidents so for this year. Can you comprehend how insane that sounds? 27 shooting incidents in school so far this year)….and not even have a dialogue?? We have to do something. God damn it…we have to do something. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two terms for Gov is OK but we should have allowed more like 4-5 terms for the House and Senate. There is too much churn and too little expertise in the MI Legislature. I think it's enough to insure the dinosaurs get moved out before they start seeing themselves as the institution - maybe 15 to 18 yrs. There is legislation and I think a ballot initiative that remedies the current situation in MI. What there is now is government run by aids, The current crop of legislators just gets comfortable with their position before they're term limited out. Bottom line is they are constantly running for the next position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Bombers Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 It just struck me that most of these kids that were killed their families probably moved to the US in part to escape this very gun violence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In person, not on Twitter whining, not backing down, not being quiet, not allowing interruptions. Beautiful. Much, much more of this. I love how a few Supreme Court justices had their panties in a wad over some peaceful protesters at their homes, and boom, next day, congress acts. A few dozen kids get slaughtered, well... now isn't the time... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1776 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 2 hours ago, Motown Bombers said: Of course because you can't provide a good reason why Wyoming has such unequal representation. I think it's weird that you skipped over Texas when mentioning the largest states you don't want to be told what to do by. Actually, I don't think it's weird. It's a common talking point by the right as they use the California and New York boogeyman. You forgot both Texas and Florida which are larger than New York but red. It would be fine if those two states told us what to do. I mean, if we don't want California and New York to tell us what to do, shouldn't Kevin McCarthy and Elise Stefanik lose their leadership positions? I stand by my belief that we maintain two Senator representation from every state. Be it Texas, NY, Florida, California, whatever. You’re really trying to misrepresent what I’ve made very clear. I stated earlier, we aren’t going to agree on this. You and the “common talking point” thing. Clearly, you have no idea where I am politically.

Just fascinating you stand by this belief and you cannot come up with a good reason why Wyoming should be vastly over represented in the senate. The only thing close to a reason is that California and New York shouldn't tell people what to do, notably leaving out Texas and Florida. That is a classic right wing talking point when discussing the unequal representation and flaws with the electoral college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMRivdogs Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I remember a couple of years ago when the NRA met in Nashville. City ordnance restricted guns inside the convention center. Probably the same in Texas. I do like the irony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
