Another mass shooting
Re: Another mass shooting
if guns are important to me. and the demonrats are powerless. why would i vote for them.
Re: Another mass shooting
To put them in a position to have power?
Or, even failing that, to ensure at least that the party that thinks we solve school shootings with more guns and spending taxpayer money on fortress-schools (to say nothing of how that party thinks about "mental health concerns") is not in a position of maximal power to make things worse?
Re: Another mass shooting
Because we aren't stupid enough to forget that laws get made in Congress and we see that Republican Congressional leaders have made it their stated intention to obstruct all Dem-led efforts to make meaningful changes.
Re: Another mass shooting
then i guess there is no reason to vote demonrat. if they aren't powerful enough to make meaningful change.
Re: Another mass shooting
i would like my vote to go towards meaningful change. not powerless excuse makers.
Re: Another mass shooting
i have 1 vote. you have 1 vote.

Re: Another mass shooting
Right. Probably.
But....
If what you say is true, it's also true that HIS single vote doesn't matter any more than your single vote. His one vote won't make the difference in who is elected in Michigan - just as your one vote won't make the difference in who is elected in the state you will be voting in.
Speaking of votes and another mass shooting. Fuck Brandon Johnson! Leave it to him to veto what the Alderpersons voted on to try and keep their neighborhoods safer and help gunshot victims.

And what if my estimates are, say, 100,000 off? Or or even just 90,000? Margins matter a lot, for purposes of the inevitable bad-faith litigation. And one mall’s worth of MICH’s could really matter.RainbowsandUnicorns wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2024 6:28 amRight. Probably.

If Michigan is decided by one vote, and Michigan is the deciding state in who gets elected, the entire country (and world) could get to blame/praise MICH for his vote.
I think most of us are in agreement that the "swing states" shouldn't have any more bearing on outcome of the election than all of the other states - so what is it going to take for the "electoral college" to be eliminated?

(To be clear - a great deal of bad would come from this, also, and I think my personal preference anyway would be for the Electoral College to remain in place, and to be how we decide an election where the popular vote is within a stated margin.)
Re: Another mass shooting
I’m not 100% sure where this goes - there is another thread or two where this might end up belonging, but I won’t make assumptions.
In any case, violent crime in Detroit might be out of control after all.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
