Exactly. The only way any of this changes is if the Republicans *finally* start being punished at the ballot box. Until then, the incentives are what they are.

Exactly. The only way any of this changes is if the Republicans *finally* start being punished at the ballot box. Until then, the incentives are what they are.
They should absolutely be talking about it and politicizing the hell out of it and I'm all for making the GOP take a vote, but we should remember that the only thing people like less than a lack of...
Sure, they could hold a vote tomorrow. It would accomplish the same thing that holding it next week will: nothing. I get that people want them to stand up and show it, but ultimately, the only thing...
Trying harder won't do anything. It's up to us to stop electing the people that stand in the way. It's always been up to us.
Sure, it's something that happens. It's just that I've only ever seen *one* explanation for what their deaths bring to the story that I ever thought was good, and even that was a total stretch. On...
Democrats have tried *many times* over the years. The assault rifle ban, for example, which Republicans forced a lapse in it. The Republicans block *everything*, because white supremacy won't allow...
Again, with the unironic 'no way to prevent this'. The last mass shooting in Norway was in 2011. The last mass shooting in Australia was in 1996. The last mass shooting in Switzerland was in 2001....
So, transphobia again.

They want a fearful populace.
Of course it will. Alito already has this hypocrisy on full display. But for conservatives, displays of hypocrisy are often the point. They're a signal of strength, that they can get away with doing...
The sheer volume is one part of the problem but I would not say the rules are not at issue.
I've always preferred alive Kents, probably because I grew up with Man of Steel era Superman too, but I just don't see the allure of them being dead.
We're averaging more than one mass shooting a day. No other country in the world has this problem. Stop with the inane justifications for the status quo. CTTT over here literally giving us the...
In between today's shooting and the Buffalo shooting, there were 17 other mass shooting events.
Forgive us for the outpouring of frustration over this instead of a discussion about foreign...

From 2019.
Reactionary Reddit and 4Chan managed to find a way to blame a transwoman for the shooting, falsely smearing one as the shooter. It was apparently repeated by Congressman Gosar (to no one's surprise)...

Australia ranks better on every metric on violent crime than we do. Despite us being told over and...
Sorry, no. Your argument is flimsy one. You really think the founding fathers would have said nothing as individuals gun down twenty or thirty people at a time while decked out in body armor with...
The last thing we need is armed security and cops in schools.
If you don't see the political subtexts on display in World War III or Dalek, I'm not sure what to tell you. I mean, AoL and WW3 contains references to 9/11, and the Iraq War speech by Tony BLair.

I think Jokerz79 is mistaking 'politics I don't recognize' for 'apolitical'.
Meanwhile, conservatives are literally trying to negate the very existence of trans children.
Okay, ngl, that 'goblin spidey suit' got a real laugh out of me. I love it.
Ther point is what it says about Chapelle, not anything else. Chapelle is aware that his words can influence people, and he wields that influence with the express purpose of belittling trans people,...
Oh, so Chapelle clearly understands his words can influence the behavior of people in negative ways and yet he continues to imply transwomen are 'fake women' and 'secret rapists'? Fascinating.
