  • Like 4 or so, which is nothing compared to how many people were killed by police.

  • Maybe because Democrats get elected after Republicans mess up the economy, they want to enable their horrid polices as an attempt at an easy win.

    Now that makes sense honestly. They can't win with boring candidates in stable-ish times. John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris all flopped because they didn't offer much in times of stability.

    So why not enable more genocide, allow the few who have homes to lose them, ramp up racism and xenophobia, it makes "I will maybe roll some of these back" look good like it did in 2020.

  • Due to COVID and a mass push for mail-in voting. If COVID wasn't a thing, Biden probably would have lost.

  • Newsom isn't even liked in his home state. Republicans wont ever vote for a Democrat, and he's had a long history of "Rules for thee, not for me." Plus his mishandling of homeless issues, his platforming of right wing grifters on his podcast, and just general insufferable way of handling most issues is a turn off for anyone with compassion.

  • THC can let people have introspection of themselves and the world around them.

    Alcohol is a downer than dumbs you down. And a lot of it can weigh you down for if you need to fight against something.

    Tobacco is an upper that you can do with other tasks, and is addictive. Tobacco is heavy in use in red states and the military.

    Guns can be aimed at anyone for any reason no matter the justification.

    So if you're a government wanting to keep the working class poor, dumb, distracted, and needing to work for their fixes along with rent, food, anything medical, why give them acess to something that could break this?

    Maybe I'm thinking too much on this.

  • How is this even legal?

    That's the neat part, if it isn't no one will enforce it or protect you.

  • Hate us if we're wrong, hate us if we were right.

    I think they just like punching left and wonder why the left doesn't like them.

  • .world will never forgive you for being right about it the entire time. I'm shocked you weren't banned on election day for being right.

  • And they removed my comment about documenting their doublethink. Why write jokes when they do it themselves?

  • Every time an “eat the rich” topic comes up, the moderators whip out the banhammer.

    And you and I were proved right that they censored my comment documenting their ban happy nature too. What a coincidence.

  • Was. Newsom is a Democrat.

  • people who are privileged enough to never have experienced multiple days without an internet connection.

    I have, and if you need an SaaS for that, I am sorry for you. Pocket was great for getting around paywalls for a while.

  • Yes it was. California had a Republican in charge the people liked and kept around. Only really because he was an actor.

    If Schwarzenegger was a random nobody, he wouldn't have won the recall.

  • It'll qualify us for the labor camps RFK Jr wants us in at least.

  • Someone else here thought The Daily Beast was The Daily Wire. I was trying to ensure you weren't thinking of the wrong publication. Thank you for saying who the right winger is.

  • It certainly can, its just always funny that people use the downvote as "proof" they aren't doing it.

  • Ben Shapiro, I thought that was a more common nickname.

  • Reminder that even Democrats banned it and "commie hellhole" California had its governor veto it.

  • So this was proposed by the Wichita mayor under the guise that RCV was too complicated for people to understand, and likely kelly signed the ban because of fear she might lose her minor majority. Total fucking bullshit politics as usual.

    Sounds like them. Capitulating to Republicans because of fear.
