I'm concerned for the 2028 election

Alternatively, it's removing unwanted tissue.

Neither side is happy with the other's way of looking at it.
Only the left can define fat drunk guys with grand Poohbah hats running through the capitol as an “insurrection”, while saying a person with four limbs, a face, a brain and a heartbeat, isn’t “human”. While claiming the other side is “anti-science”.

The same people, BTW, who take issue with the words “mob” and “riot” when it’s clear that’s what things are. And call the burning of buildings and violently attacking police and protesters, “mostly peaceful gatherings”. And tell us constantly that “words are violence”.

Time for a new dictionary, Dems.
 
@OP, the path to change is for Harris to win. Fire off a couple of the promised legislation bills that she is talking about. Then, in 12-18 months really begin the "we are trying to focus on the promises that will benefit the regular joe" legislation. By then, Trump will either be tied up in court, obviously a crazy doddering invalid, or could be in jail. That should erode the MAGA impact and the Dems can try to erode the lock in Congress 2026.

Just my thoughts on the path to 2028. But there are a lot of things that have to occur before, including 2024. I highly doubt it, but a better moderate conservative may appear before 2028.

Hell, we likely have law suits in Nebraska, Georgia, Maine, NM about how they certify elections, water wars initiate, MAGA begins human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.

Ok @ Me next time and you provided everything I had already. Good attempt
 
Do you want to end the Electoral college?

That will basically make Democrats win every national election.
Of course I think that anti-democratic, anachronistic, vestige of our slave-economy origins should be ended. Don't you?

Republicans will adapt. They're already pretending to be the party of the working man with surprising success. And their support in the Hispanic community is rising. Whether they could remain the MAGA party is another question.

I hope this is an act. Otherwise get bent

It's true. This is from last summer:


 
Today I went to Pints. Zero hand pictures. I watched a half of CC then went to a friend's place for his bday. We smoked a ton of weed, then watched football. One of my buddies had white. I declined since it was a Thursday and I have a meeting in the morning.

Moral of story... WHO THE **** THINKS OF A 2028 ELECTION?!?!

You seem okay.. just live dude

It's a tough call.

I don't know if it would be better to have 4 cities decide our elections.

I would submit that the Electorial college is well overdue for a modern day adjustment. And gerrymandering really needs to be reigned in as well. 1 person 1 vote....equal representation....
Right now, we don't really have equal representation.

I care about the county. Chaos brings down the markets and our retirement plans as well.

As with a lot of other things, Getting rid of the EC and filibuster would backfire greatly on Dems, I’d wager. The amount of amendments to the constitution you’d see passed would be mind blowing. Two thirds of the states to get a convention called would be easy, and we are already close to 3/4 of the states now when it comes to the EC. The left would be begging to go back to it in a dozen years or so.

My original post was legitimate and accurate and then hijacked. Thanks for the input


Im sure you think that, but nope. I have noticed you log in some evenings and think the world is against you. It's not. get your head right and try again in the AM. There are a lot of challenges to over come in the next 6 months that 2028 is a problem for another day.

The Democrats won the popular vote the entire 21st century and unfortunately this archaic joke kept them out of power numerous times much to this country and worlds demise.

What do you do about it?

I don't mean that as an insult, I'm legit curious since politics seems like a religion to you and many others.
I would introduce the no fault pregnancy policy. I've mentioned it before.

Basically, a pregnant woman who does not want to be pregnant can sign some forms and walk away after the appropriate procedure. The appropriate procedure is abortion if the fetus can't survive, or removal and proper care if it can survive.

With advances in medical care, the point of viability will become vanishingly small, so fewer and fewer pregnancy terminations will result in the fetus being aborted, and most will receive the needed care to develop properly.

This should already be the US standard, imo. It seems obvious to me that it's an improvement over either side's entrenched position these days.

The only real downside is that the improvement in care won't be free. So it's a question whether we're willing to pay to do something this reasonable.

Yeah. The markets are so bloodthirsty for baby’s brains being sucked out by vacuums. I like the Kermit Gosnel Blackrock Baby Chopper mutual fund the best.

I meant, do you do any real life activitism?
 
Someone asked you why you are worried about abortion in 2028. And you answered that it somehow was going to impact your retirement fund. So yeah…what?
I'm concerned one of the Dems main message now is codifying Roe V Wade as law but I'm not sure how that's achieved.

That's one way to look at it.

Another way to look at it is that ten thousand women had their freedom taken away and were coerced against their wishes into being the equivalent of brood mares by the state, without having committed any crime.

I donate a lot to charity. And weirdly, none of them cover up child molestation.

They might, actually.

It's impossible to know which organizations are covering up child abuse.

We do know 1 out of 4 girls are molested as are 1 out of 6 boys.

It's a rampant problem and gets covered up all the time. See Penn State, public schools and the Boy Scouts.

Most organizations haven't reformed except for the Catholic Church in 2002.

Going by the data, ten thousand is alot less than the babies saved.

Not at my age and, frankly, this has never been an issue I have felt strongly about. I just think that there are better ways to handle it, and we should do them, so that this issue stops distracting from doing other important things.

Also, trying to have intelligent conversations about important issues IS activism. It's a shame that so many people disparage making the effort.

Have you ever done political activism?

Discussing politics on message boards is fun and all but it has 0 impact in real life.
 
I'm not reading 5 pages to catch up.

Somebody summarize whatever shitfest is going on. Thanks in advance.

Some posters are upset about abortion being limited.

@JWolf74 started attacking the Catholic Church for child abuse and I showed how the Church reformed and he ignored the data.

We also agree doctors make way too much money in America. And doctors also abuse children at the same rate as Catholic priests.

First, those numbers are really hard to believe.

Second, if those numbers are true, what kind of failed civilization are we if we haven't gone all in on stopping this?
