Why NOT to vote Republican

[herbgeek]

It's interesting to me that the parent objecting to this poem being available (as well as books by another black author) admits she hasn't even read the poem or the books she's objecting to in their entirety. She didn't even correctly attribute the author, she listed Oprah as the author. She didn't claim the book was age inappropriate, she just didn't like the ideas espoused.

I saw today the DeSantis said he would consider pardoning the rioting Jan. 6 insurrectionists, as well as Trump. I didn't read on to find out what he might pardon Trump for, although he could rack up a collection by election time.

Not all are federal so DeSantis cannot pardon them all, thankfully. Another reason not to vote republican.... either moron.

The media is playing the DeSantis or Trump card pretty heavily. I suppose DeSantis is the most like Trump, but it does slight the other alternatives or potential alternatives. They must react to the polls or speculation over what will attract the largest audience, but it does seem unfair. It's early.

All of the Republican candidates seem to be trying to out-trump each other. Probably because they realize that without trump’s supporters, their party’s base, they have approximately the same chance of becoming president that Liz Cheney had of keeping her seat in the house. That’s why ‘bomb Mexico’ is now a standard part of the Republican policy platform regardless of the fact that it’s a batshit stupid idea.

You can claim that bombing Mexico is a plank in the GOP platform.

You can claim there is no GOP platform.

But you can’t claim both.

We've reached the point in this thread where all claims made against Republicans require what Twitter refers to as 'Community Notes'.

Yeah, you know what we think of twitter. The announcement of DeSantis is reflective.

No, I don't. I've heard that lots of folks became disenchanted with the platform once they began correcting false claims and mis-information, are those the 'we' you mentioned?

Of what?
