Summary
The Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a memo prioritizing federal funding for communities with marriage and birth rates above the national average.
The directive, which applies to grants, loans, and contracts, also prioritizes projects benefiting families with young children.
A congressional aide criticized the policy, saying, “Considering fertility rates when prioritizing federal grants? We obviously have no idea what the full impact of that will be… It’s absolutely creepy. It’s a little ‘Chinese government.’”
The memo also blocks mask mandates and requires compliance with immigration enforcement.
Yes you do. You support him via advocating for a completely ass backwards promotion of third party voting.
If a third party is to be even remotely viable in FPTP, you don’t fucking start with the presidency.
You can’t magically drum up sufficient support for a candidate to win the fucking presidency with zero/near zero seats in congress or the senate.
“In Congress or the Senate”? Congress INCLUDES the Senate. Congress is the combination of the House and the Senate.
This is the most fucking backwards logic I’ve ever seen. I talk about “leftists want to make a better world” by using a completely different approach than voting for fascists. You frame the false choice of “anyone but fascists is impossible” again. And then by your logic, not supporting fascists is equal to supporting fascists, because “it’s like voting for fascist B, because either fascist A or B has to win!” THIS LOGIC IS NOT SOUND.
If you can’t actually add something that’s not completely fucking insane to the conversation, then DO. NOT. REPLY.
If you want to get an actual left winger into office in the us you have exactly three options, entryism into the democrat party and pushing a left winger in the primaries (ie bernie, maybe AOC in the future), building up a new party starting by taking local offices in progressive places until the dems either have to pivot to the left or are replaced by you, revolution.
Ignoring reality and voting for a third party in the presidential election is nothing more than posturing at best and actively enabling the worst elements in society at worst.
For the ten millionth time. The population has the option to vote for anyone. Preemptively narrowing the options down to two parties is self-defeating circular logic. I have addressed this exact point on this website about a thousand times already. Stop bringing it up. It is incorrect - misinformation/disinformation.
So why dont you just vote for yourself? Clearly thats the only way to agree with your candidate 100% and it clearly doesnt matter to you what the odds of winning are.
Jesus fucking christ. It’s like talking to a “hello world” program.
Ah yes I’d forgotten about all those elections in a winner takes all system where a candidate was polling at 1% the day before election turned out to win it. Your obnoxious posting style really helped me remember that absolutely true fact.
One day before? How about 12 months before? How about 4 years before? I’ve been hearing your lesser of two evils bullshit for 25 years. You locked yourselves in a prison and threw away the key. There is no escape for you all until you reject your own fucked up self-defeating mentality. Period. You will keep voting for mass murderers and they will keep tightening their grip until we’re all dead. They just have to keep pantomining “big tough Muricans vs. opposition with a conscience” enough for you to buy it. And we’re all stuck on the ship you decided to sink. We’re truly fucked as a species because of the idiocy of people like you.
So do what I literally said before, build up a party, take places that you have a realistic chance of winning, build your parties power base and then take larger constituencies. That’s how a an organisation actually interested in political power would go about it with multiple years out. Not trying to jump to the highest level office in the land where the mathematical reality of the system insists that that one of the top two candidates will win.
