March 14, 20241 yr Talk about nincompoops Trump's RNC officially kills the GOP's mail-in voter effort In a victory for the extremist wing of the Republican Party, it looks like Donald Trump’s hand-picked leadership team at the Republican National Committee has officially scrapped the GOP’s plan to encourage early voting this election cycle. Instead, the party is taking steps to prioritize legal challenges to voting systems ahead of November. As part of the layoffs and budget cuts carried out this week by the newly installed leadership team, they are shuttering a program dedicated to mail-in voting, according to The Washington Post https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/main-in-voting-bank-your-vote-republicans-rcna143291
March 14, 20241 yr Quote Progressives Are Angry with Biden over... Abortion! For many Democrats, abortion is an easy issue. It is between a woman and her doctor. It is not between a woman and her congressman. But Joe Biden has been somewhat hesitant to come out and say that point blank, and progressives are starting to feel that he is going to make a distinction between "good" abortions (because the woman was raped) and "bad" abortions (because the couple didn't bother to use contraception). They are very unhappy with this backsliding and feel that the government should not play any role in deciding when a woman gets an abortion. It's up to the woman and her doctor and no one else. Also, when Biden talks about reproductive health care, he often talks about IVF rather than abortion on demand. While progressives have no problem with any of the IVF procedures, Biden's talk about it seems to muddy the waters for them. It is making them nervous. Jamila Perritt, president of Physicians for Reproductive Health, said: "The president is part and parcel of the culture of stigma and shame that surrounds abortion care." Some progressives have noted that he skipped the word "abortion" during his SOTU speech, even though it was in the prepared text. Biden has been around the track a couple of times and knows exactly what he is doing. He realizes that electorate is more conservative than progressives would like it to be and he needs a lot of votes from people who are not progressive, especially Black and Latino voters, many of whom are fairly conservative, actually. Biden is also a practicing Catholic and he has never been at ease discussing abortion at any time during his long career. As a young senator, he said that Roe v. Wade went too far, for one example. To take another, as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he focused his questions to Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork on contraception, not abortion. Biden only became fully pro-choice during the 2020 campaign. Biden's campaign staff is pushing the idea of "actions speak louder than words." As president, he has worked to expand access to abortion and his recent budget has language to repeal the Hyde Amendment, which would allow federal funds to be used for abortion. Biden also knows that progressives have nowhere else to go. Sure, they could vote for Jill Stein or Cornel West, elect Donald Trump, and then cry in their wine when he signed a bill to ban all abortions nationwide. Biden knows that very few of them will take the risk. One problem the Democrats have that the Republicans don't is that a lot of Democrats want it all. If Biden does something on abortion or Israel or something else they don't like, they start threatening to stay home or vote third party. Sometimes they actually even do it. This has been true for years with other Democrats, going back to the 92,000 people who voted for Ralph Nader in Florida in 2000, thus allowing George W. Bush to win the state by 537 votes and giving him the presidency. All Republicans know that Donald Trump is a boob and sexist, has committed sexual assault multiple times (and has even admitted it on tape), has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade any country he would like to add to the Russian Empire, changes his fundamental views as often as some people change their underpants, has been married and divorced more times than their pastor approves of, and has many other flaws. But he gave them three conservative Supreme Court justices, so they overlook his many, many character and policy failings. Many Democrats don't do that. It's one strike and you're out. You're bad on Israel? I'm not voting. (V)
March 14, 20241 yr I'm a firm believer that we get the leaders we deserve. Much like the muslim americans threatening to stay home over Biden's stance on Israel, if liberals want to do the same because Biden isn't progressive enough on abortion, then I wish them the very best of luck with advancing their cause in a second term of a Trump presidency.

March 15, 20241 yr Wow, are those people voting in person after showing ID? Everyone knows the way to ensure election integrity is to mass mail ballots and then take an undisclosed amount of time to tally them. What a backwards country.

I already have a dozen of them for Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan. It sucks for you but the election is going to be even more rigged than last time. You should just stay home on election day, and watch a movie or something when the returns call it for Biden.

March 16, 20241 yr Whatever his stance, lets make it clear, Biden has said if Congress sends him an abortion bill he will sign it and Make Roe v. Wade the law of the land. That's not abortion on demand. So I guess some Progressives will have a problem with that. Morons.

This is probably a dumb question, but doesn't he charge money to attend those rallies? Shouldn't they be close to breaking even if he gets a certain threshold of attendees?
