What was the full quote? I expect it to be complete shit but he gets partially quoted out of context enough I’ve learned not to trust headlines quoting just a phrase. He vomits legitimately terrible things often enough we shouldn’t need to exaggerate or manufacture bad quotes. I want to read this one.
Both sides are NOT the same. They suck in very different ways.
If the Dems would stop trying to disarm the people they’d never lose another election. But they’re pretty bought into global governmental authoritarianism. Not Dem voters. The party. The R voters aren’t all fascists either. It’s just our political landscape is fucked.
This. Also it passed without Republican support so a few shitty Dems are really to blame for what we got. And Kamala isn’t going to go after it either. I know quite a few people who vote R for gun rights but want single payer healthcare. Both parties are very different, they suck in different ways and represent moneyed interests, not the people.
I’m a really disappointed centrist. Ain’t nobody doin’ shit.

I’m much closer than Pittsburgh, where is this?
Cubs suck. But apparently so does this guy.
I’m guessing you don’t have a car. Is there somewhere nearby you could walk to or bicycle to, for someone to meet you and pick you up? Then you would only be on camera leaving the house, not breaking any house rules. This isn’t about law, this is about your relationship with your mother. You can do what you want, but different actions may have different results in your family dynamics.
Not true in a lot of places.
A lot of places don’t work like you’re describing.
The reason is her mom could kick her out.
I’m a 3rd generation from an immigrant family and absolutely support controlled immigration, even a lot of it. There seems to be often presented or perceived this false choice between no immigration and completely uncontrolled open borders. The conversation needs more subtlety, but Harris does at least seem to many to have some baggage related to the border the last three years.
Cincinnati isn’t really rust belt, but it’s about the only corner of Ohio that isn’t.
I’ve seen lots of poor criticism of Vance but your concise little comment actually hit the nail on the head.
Great response and I agree with you on both. People who showed up peacefully and broke no laws didn’t get arrested on Jan 6. But neither party is going to change the law to allow protests in our statehouses.
I also believe in civil disobedience but everyone gets all surprised picachu face when people get arrested for breaking the law. Go ahead and do it, just don’t be surprised.
I find there’s often an agreement bias. If hundreds of Trump supporters had sat in the same time/place/manner on Jan 6 rather than what happened, would you have agreed with their arrest?
Did they break the law?
I’m a pretty strong free speech advocate but if you’re going to engage in protest speech you should take the time to learn about well-established time/place/manner restrictions and not break other obvious laws.
Sidewalks are generally established free speech forums (there are others as well) and you should be able to say pretty much anything there. But you can’t stand on the sidewalk and smash car windows and assault people and complain about your speech being silenced when you’re arrested. I know that’s not at all what happened here, just an illustration.
That said, even if you’re doing everything correctly sometimes police will try to stop your speech if they don’t like it. Always record such police interactions.
Edit I’m not advocating blind obedience. Civil disobedience is necessary and good, but don’t be surprised when you get arrested. And if you think the laws they “broke” need to change, pressure your representatives to change it. But spoiler alert, both parties like being protected from protest inside the statehouses.
They would probably agree with you on that one.
Yeah edibles near me are about 6x as expensive as buying them in Michigan. And as a consequence, Ohio’s black market is still alive and well. And obviously illegal interstate transportation too.
