apparently city council passed a bill allowing minors to get vaccines without parental consent. naturally, this brought out the anti-vaxxers who are trying to get people to write to the mayor to veto it. complete with "do your research!" in the middle of a pandemic.

DELETE CASCADE posted:liberals in the bush era couldn't even imagine trump In terms of actual outcomes, Bush was far and away a more malevolent president than Trump could ever aspire to be. Trump just turned the machine inwards on his own constituents and said the quiet parts out loud.

Bush set in motion events that killed over a million Iraqi and Afghan civilians because we were mad about what, ~3000 lost in 9/11? Trump let 300K+ Americans die because he thought a pandemic would only affect people in places that didn't vote for him.

i really like the commentary i saw a while ago about how the republicans could possibly have failed to repeal obamacare, when they had the house, senate, and white house something like "there is a big divide in washington, but not between the republicans and the democrats, its between the older republicans who know their agenda is massively unpopular and has to be rammed through under cover of darkness, and the younger dumber ones who actually believe their own bullshit, this is how the party could fail to repeal obamacare, because a large voting bloc of the party thought the repeal wasnt cruel enough"

One in four rural Pennsylvanians is on Medicaid. This is only made possible via the 90% grant that came with Medicaid expansion in the ACA. Many of the people hooting and hollering to repeal Obamacare in this state are the exact same people who would suffer and die without it. It really is amazing.

best to separate these two groups into separate parties then, so each can maintain their ideological purity

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
