American Politics X: Is There A Reset Button Around Here?

[The Jamesian Republic]

It’s Tucker Carlson I wouldn’t take him seriously. It’s just him trying to get ratings. It’s edgy and gets people riled up. To quote The Simpsons: “Just don’t look.”

Occasionally one has to go looking for whatever the fuck some rando says in a comment somewhere. Or what the joke is about on update.

Oh. Though me personally I can’t take seriously someone who is bent out of shape over a green circle.

[San Lumen]

Also the fact I could hypothetically be president is a very important story and turning point in American history.

You should definitely run for office someday.

Maybe. If I become rich and old enough.

Id vote for you.

It'd be disturbing if you were and unsettling that there people who do. But his desire for a sexy green M&M is really more to laugh. Carlson says worse shit than this before his first commercial break.

He gets commercials?

Thanks.

Don't vote for Dems or Reps in 2024.

[The Jamesian Republic]

Don't vote for Dems or Reps in 2024.

Then who do we vote for?

[Dexterra]

Don't vote for Dems or Reps in 2024.

Unfortunately for many, those may quite literally be the only options available

[The Lone Alliance]

To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if Mars paid Tucker to complain about them, it's reverse psychology to force the people who would usually be upset about a company enslaving people to reflexively defend them because someone they don't like is attacking it.

Remember eat your M&Ms and support Mars to Trigger the Cons.

Nobody. I don't plan on voting in 2024.

Yes own the cons.

Fine. I hope we get 25% decent candidates.

Because far right incels and groypers eat that shit up.

So Oregon is saying that healthcare is a fundamental right (proposed amendment) how do they plan to go about doing this?

That's the rub, here's the amendment in its entirety:

SECTION 47. (1) It is the obligation of the state to ensure that every resident of Oregon has access to cost-effective, clinically appropriate and affordable health care as a fundamental right.

(2) The obligation of the state described in subsection (1) of this section must be balanced against the public interest in funding public schools and other essential public services, and any remedy arising from an action brought against the state to enforce the provisions of this section may not interfere with the balance described in this subsection.[8]

In short, it just says that the state has to create a public health insurance plan of some sort, but it leaves it to the Legislature to fund the damn thing and establish how it would work. So no one's really sure how this will actually pan out if it passes.

Washington has something similar, assuming they're going down that route. I currently have free healthcare through the state in the sense of not paying for it monthly, not really a guarantee everything else I get done will be free (Especially dental because this countries stupid and thinks dental is cosmetic), because at the time I got it I fit the threshold of "Making under this so its free". In April when its renewed I'll probably have to pay a bit monthly because I'll be over that threshold now.

Enjoy the Republican Congress and nothing at all getting done and the death of democracy in 2024.

Nothing getting done is what we’re already dealing with. And don’t give me the “but the infrastructure bill” BS, it was gutted of most of the important stuff and doesn’t accomplish much in the grand scheme of things

[Shrillland]

Nobody. I don't plan on voting in 2024.

To be fair, we're probably going to get that anyway.

Alright? I'm not really supportive of democracy anymore anyways aside from local level democracy. We need a strong leader to save the country from things such as climate change and the decline of America that won't need to listen to special interests. And I'm not convinced the Republicans will end democracy either.

If Republicans take control of both chambers, Biden has to use his veto power like a mother hubbard

[Corrian]

So apparently Republicans are putting like no effort into even trying to run in the California governors race

And the country will tear itself asunder and to be honest I hope it does. We shouldn’t remain United if one party overturns an election.

The state is unwinnable for Republicans at this point. Any statewide Democratic candidate is very likely to get at least 60 percent of the vote.

I don't hope it does because I know what it means. Lots of pundits say we have to live together because of red/blue towns in counties in these states, but Bosnia and Rwanda have proven that that isn't the case. Division means one thing: Political Cleansing. Millions murdered just because they aren't sufficiently one team or another.

I hope it doesn't but I also feel like it might.
