Oregon Republicans facing arrest

[San Lumen]

Reminder that up until the 2018 midterms, CA sent Republicans to DC like everyone else.

Which is irrelevant to state government.

Republicans lost seats in Sacramento as well last election

And the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

And yet the State Government also has Republicans.

Uh huh...

[Kowani]

Uh huh...

Point

The Senate also has Republicans, but the Dems have a supermajority, so I didn’t bother.

[Telconi]

Which negates the assertion that it's a de-facto one party state how?

[San Lumen]

Uh huh...

Voted in via a free and fair election and more democrats got elected. The same in Oregon

[Loben The 2nd]

Uh huh...

Voted in via a free and fair election and more democrats got elected. The sane in Oregon

are you implying democrats are only elected by sane people?

[San Lumen]

Typo sorry

[Telconi]

You keep pushing this point like it has meaning other than just a total non-sequiter.

He may have made a typo but tbh, it sure looks like Democrats v Republicans is a case of asylum staff v patients from the outside.

Demeaning tens of millions of people has never convinced them of your politics.

Like we were ever going to convince anyone on NSG.

Not to the staff.

Eh, believe it or not but I have seen people on NSG change one or two of their positions after engaging in debate. It’s rare but it happens.

I'm pretty sure we won over one or two couple people in the gun control thread.

Good times.

TBH, I think that the GCT is one of THE most successful conversion threads on NSG.

Which honestly isn't that shocking all things considered.

Yeah because how dare you have to share the state with people who disagree with your views and aren't on a ranch or farm.

Go move to one party state like Wyoming then you wont have complain about how everyone is out to get you.

California is a de-facto one party state, because the republicans are treated like trash.

"Treated like trash" is a dramatic way to state that most Californians don't vote for Republicans because they don't believe in Republican ideology, as being a decent person demands sometimes voting for people you don't want just to throw them a bone.

That is true, I got Xeno to oppose the electoral college once…

You can disagree with a person respectfully. When you actively silence them in the Senate, literally just to shut them up, when the governor actively insults the opposition party wholesale, when punitive laws with no purpose other than to penalize the opposition for wrongthink are proposed and sometimes even passed.

This is treating your opposition like shit.

Debates might not always be effective, but I don’t know of many other ways to get someone to genuinely change their positions.

And your party doesn’t insult the other side and try to penalize the opposition? You have any proof of your claim?

Online, very little. You can show them the repercussions of their positions, but that’s about it.

You could argue that showing them that could lead to debate or at the very least is unlikely to take place outside of debate.
