  • It made it de jure illegal to be homeless, and de facto more illegal to be homeless.

    And a hell of a lot harder for these people to get back on their feet now that they’ll be trapped in an endless cycle of streets > tickets/fines > jail.

    Tell me how a homeless person is supposed to come up with $5k to pay off fines and get a license after it’s suspended for non-payment of fines for example? They don’t and they stay homeless. Even if they manage to get a job they get their pay garnished so they still can’t afford anywhere to live and then get more tickets for being homeless all while working complete trash, dehumanizing jobs with low pay. How long does someone bother to continue trying to “do the right thing” in those circumstances?

    Because in fucking capitalist Democrat “utopia”, there “are” “no” homeless people. But there has to be a permanent underclass and their lives have to be hell or there will be no one left to melt for biomass.

    Can’t say I disagree living up north in Oregon and seeing all the same abhorrent behavior from our state Dems. Like for example refusing to distribute hundreds of millions meant for rehab centers and instead overturning the voter initiative that made it a requirement and redirecting all those funds toward police. My Democratic Rep also just voted against impeaching Trump.





  • While I have no objection to these books and I think that normalizing non-heterosexual relationships is good, the fact of the matter is that doing so violates the sincerely-held religious beliefs of some parents. Religious beliefs have special constitutional protections whether or not they’re viewed favorably by society. (Protection of only those beliefs viewed favorably is no protection at all.)

    So what about the religious protection for everyone else who doesn’t fall into that group? You’re arguing that it should be eliminated? That Amendment specifically mentions freedom from religion as well so why aren’t you making the case for that here too? It sounds exactly like you’re arguing that the only people who should be offered protection are those who you view favorably.







  • I think instead of focusing on how to sell this product, we focus on the product itself because it’s impossible to sell something that Democrats keep pulling off the shelf as “defective.” Like any other item that people buy, committing to something only to have the “company” do a 180 and stop supporting it immediately after your “purchase” is just going to drive people away.

    Most Democrats only seem interested in pushing progressive policies right up until they get elected and then it’s always “not the right time” after the election.

    Edit: also the product would sell itself if they actually implemented them and improved people’s lives. It’s kind of hard to deny things that exist right in front of your face, but we never seem able to get to that point because corporations and genocidal “allies” always take precedence over the American people regardless of which of these two parties hold office.
