***Official Political Discussion Thread***

If you are stringing someone along that implies that you are not acting in good faith and aren't negotiating with the intent of getting a deal done.

What do you think stringing along means?
Why are you taking McConnell's statement at face value?
 
But the thing is I think it goes beyond some religious freedom stuff. Of course that will be the vehicle for some **** but I don't know while you are confining the wishes of social conservatives to just things that have to do with religion. Social conservatives are also racist as ****. White supremacy and white nationalism are binding forces with white evangelicals.

They will strike down the rest of Voting Rights Act by late 2021 or 2022, this is certain. This will allow the GOP to re-enforce their minority rule with new racist laws, and pass tons of **** that don't have public support. So they might not side with a state that passing a complete ban on abortion, but they will side with one that puts so many restrictions on how abortions can operate that abortion clinics all over the state have to close.

Strike down liberal states power to enforce gun laws

Rollback immigrants and refugees legal protections

Strike down criminal justice reforms

Hell they don't need to strike down all LGBT protections, but deem an oppressive law cool because of some weird legal argument.

There is a good chance they are gonna throw 20 million people off of their health insurance in the couple month. And with that throw out coverage for preexisting conditions, which is has broad support in the country.

And again, back to Voting Rights, if they hand the GOP the power to never have to worry about Democrat voters being able to properly punish them at the polls, why would conservatives care about major blowback? Especially the judges?

I mean you are really trusting a court with three far right reactionaries, two far right conservatives, and the swing vote being a dude that only disagrees with right wing legal buffoonery because of bad lawyering, not to **** **** up?

Hell being a foil to a progressive movement for the next 20-30 years if gonna make social conservatives extremely happy.

So maybe social conservatives don't get the home run they want. But the Supreme court will give them a ton of singles, and doubles, enough to put runs on the board.

don't get me wrong. they will deliver conservative wins, those wins will be very bad.

I just don't think most of that stuff you listed as social conservative issues.

if those are social conservative causes than sure.



but imo those are just conservative issues. the stuff that social conservatives care abortion and lgbt stuff.

What even is a social conservative anymore? You're essentially talking about white evangelicals at this point, as you're silencing population of actual "social conservatives", which is Black people.

Please explain, Q goes against Dems.

facebook has been irresponsible and extremely dangerous globally

organizations like qanon have pushed BS that goes beyond just being dangerous just politically, that stuff legit endangers the lives of people

facebook let stuff slide and put certain people in regulatory because that figured they were safe because it benefited certain people.. but shh is coming if they legit have to be put in check

In this 2020 hyper partisan world, how much of a difference are there from generic social conservatives and generic conservatives?
 
Where's Chuck Grassley in this collage? How about Mitch himself? How about Lindsey Graham? How come when problems are not solved, Democrats are the ones to blame, but obstructionist Republicans are nowhere near your line of vision?

In the 90s, Democrats compromised. A lot. To the point where they went against what their party used to stand for (the common man). And look what it got us: the crime bill, crappy schools, wage stagnation, and an increasingly demanding and belligerent GOP. Even in 2008, as the country was in the middle of a recession caused by Republican policies, the Democratic president elect still had to try and be the president of all Americans, including the mofos who hated his guts. To get the ACA, he also had to compromise within his own party, against Republican proxies (hi Joe Liberman). Even after that, y'all bought the right wing koolaid, stayed home in 2010, and his entire legislative and judicial program went in the crapper because of GOP obstructionism.

Only one party gets elected to make sure that government is not going to work.
 
People love to rail on government not doing anything, but their political curiosity doesn't extend past the general election. They never get to the bottom of why things are inefficient or held up, they only care about "sounding smart" by being an active contrarian instead of approaching it with a mentality that they themselves could invoke change. Throwing your hands up in defeatism is easier than doing any reading or research on how things can actually be made better (not to mention understanding exactly how we got here in the first place). Bet ol boy doesn't care about who his Secretary of State is, or the DA, or who's running for school board. Those things matter and scale up. Idk why it's the "cool thing" to not care, man. At least he admitted it though.
