Exactly. And the whole “it’s not because they’re brown but because they’re illegal” mask is off with the Springfield, Ohio nonsense.
“Significant” Trump Slippage in Iowa Presidential Race….

The 6% RFK number in this poll is fascinating. Who are these people? Iowa City hippies who will migrate to Harris? Anti-vax Repubbers who will go to Trump?
I think it shows that there are way way way more low-information voters out there than we political junkies can imagine. It's why I think that the Dems need to pound relentlessly on Trump's insanity and unfitness for office, the Nancy Pelosi/consultants strategy of ignoring Trump and concentrating on " kitchen table issues" has I think been disastrous in the Trump era.
He's a nut, he's unfit for office.
Very doubtful. But dems have to have a Sherrod Brown win in the Senate race to have any chance of retaining a Dem majority. I had given up on the Dems retaining the Senate because they're going to lose West Virginia and Tester is probably toast in Montana but if Brown can win and Scott loses in Florida there's still a chance!
That is exactly the same deal as NC. There’s no way to flip the legislature but they operate with a single vote blank slate right now. And they stole that single vote by running a fake Dem in a 60% Dem district which they promptly sliced up.
Cool. I suppose in a philosophical sense I agree with you. Unfortunately, the rubber has met the road and this is no longer a philosophical conversation. Real action and activism has created real world changes that I absolutely have no respect for. The intent may be noble, but the ignorance of the complexity of the situation and ability to be comfortable with creating such a unstable landscape for the future rights to privacy and medical care is, imo, atrocious.
I don't doubt he has those convictions. However, he has those convictions because he was fed a lie, believed it and won't believe the actual, proven science related to the subject.
It's similar to people believing the propaganda about immigrants. "Illegal aliens are violent, criminals here to rape and murder" despite evidence showing us they are far less likely to commit crimes than US citizens.
Or "Blue cities and states are crime infested" despite the evidence showing us that isn't true. ""Blue cities in the red states are the problem with those states" despite that also being untrue based on actual evidence.
The abortion issue is fed by their desire to find examples that align with the beliefs they have that was built on lies.
So is every single Republican who still supports him.
Yeah, these are completely legal immigrants, most of whom were here prior to Biden or Trump taking office.
I agree with most of this.
I suspect doobi, and others like him, genuinely see it as a baby being killed. That’s why I tread softly with people who take the anti-abortion position.
Now, if he also believes Jesus of Nazareth is going to magically appear in the sky soon to wipe out all the LGBTQ queers and “libtards” and wants public policy shaped around that, then that is a horse of a different color.
So do think there would be any chance I'd potentially get an extra fuel-saver discount if I couple my Covid/Flu shot with a sex change? If so, hmmmmm.......
Horseshit. Was the 10-year-old rape victim not innocent? You want to punish a child for being raped by making her carry a baby full term? That kinda makes you a monster.
What about the mother-to-be who miscarried late in her pregnancy and continued to bleed for nearly three weeks because three different hospitals refused to perform the necessary D&C for fear of legal consequences? She eventually passed out from blood loss in her home and now is faced with life-long health issues that will prevent her from having another child. Was she not innocent?
Answer my question, dipshit. You want to protect “innocent life” but then you want to have that cake and eat it too by carving out exceptions that meet YOUR criteria. Why is the embryo in that ten-year-old not worthy of your “protection”? Why doesn’t the life of the fetus outweigh the health conditions faced by its mother? Are they not innocent enough for you? Is there some kind of innocence heirarchy?
I know reading is hard but I would think on a message board you could pull it off. Maybe not.
Hey DooBi, just a question for you. Do you really think a person like Trump, who has cheated on every woman he has likely ever been with, is ACTUALLY anti-abortion? I highly doubt it, but he knows who his base is so he has to be anti-abortion.
As a proud father of a gen z-er in Iowa, I think .. it would help if that generation .. would get off their lazy ****ing asses and register to vote goddamnit!
No I don't. I did vote for him in 20 but it won't happen again.
Anecdotal but I decided today to vote for Harris (Cedar Rapidian, evangelical, 39, middle class, never voted D in my adult life). I had planned on writing someone in like I did in 2020 (did not vote in 2016) but the scariest thing about Trump is the level of persuasion he has over people who wouldn’t otherwise say/act the way they do. It’s simply not enough to not support him, I need it on record that I voted to defeat him.
If this is legit, team 🇺🇸 thanks you. Vote for Corkey over Hinson too please.
Dodge and weave strategy, eh? Here’s what you said…
“…if you are ok with abortion at will and the ending of innocent human life then you are disqualified to lead.”
I’ll ask again…under what criteria does that life become not innocent enough to justify ending it? And, additionally, what makes you the arbiter of that delineation?
You can either explain your reasoning or admit you’re just spouting crap you haven’t really thought about.
Derp. Read my quoted post dude. Come on man. It's right there.
You seem well informed and reasonable. Obviously you are believable. Not.
I read your posts. They're nonsense even under the rules you're using.
Chester’s Chicken AND abortions?? America could be getting even better!
Again, cells more important than the lives of women who are already here. You’re so backwards.
Hence, he identifies as a Republican.
You’re pro let women bleed out in their car because their doctor is afraid to go to jail if he/she helps her. You’re NOT pro-life. Your stance is gross.
Under his rules, we were already protecting life even before Dobbs. Abortions were exceedingly rare after viability and we're generally only done for medical complications. But now, we are seeing the opposite. Women unable to get care, sometimes for potentially deadly complications, because nutbags like him have cheered on criminalizing doctors.
