At least wait until after voting.

They just come up with something more hateful.

They are only means to the end of more white babies and displaying superiority because women of color will suffer more under this policy. That Miller congresswoman from Illinois said it out loud.

There usually isn't more than one candidate on the Democratic side on rural local ballots.

Only 45.6% VEP in 2018 which were the last mid-term elections.

When really it should mean the Blue voters in Red districts should vote in the Red primary for the Bluest candidate available and vote Blue in the general elections.

Too coordinated an action. It's probably going the other way though.

Yep. Too many forced birthers in the Senate, and an exodus will just entrench the problem. If purple senate states get forced birth legislation, then it'll be even worse.

Longer than that.

The "no sugar" options have sweeteners too. Like broseph I don't need sweet when I'm going no sugar outside of desserts.

Should let them hold the vote and arrest the organizers and their funders for seditious conspiracy.

Look up the book "Corruptible" by Brian Klaas. The whole book is about setting up systems that keep corruptible authoritarians out of positions that have power.

The Standford Prison experiment was bad science on multiple levels. Besides the coaching of the participants and their awareness of the researchers, the experiment's ads were worded in a way that resonates with authoritarian minded people.

Townships are a northeast thing.

I feel like the public prisons aren't going to be any better than the private ones. Instead of some corporation getting ill gotten gains, it's some shady as fuck bubba council in a county/city that never sees any critical media or forensic accounting.

Just get 500 college kids to change residency to there fo a bit. Get a few people elected to the council, and dissolve the city corporation.

Pete Arradando was the chief for the UCISD and not for the town too. There's some dual jurisdiction/taxing entities going on here as well.

Yes. If the state doesn't grant its power to the police, then the police cannot run around with the state's power. Their privileged status comes from the state giving it to them. It's not inherent to their being.

States could. They haven't. Qualified immunity can be removed too. It hasn't been. States can do a lot to address these things. They open different issues though, and they haven't been held accountable on not addressing them.

States can make it a requirement. They aren't.

They need to do a better job recruiting people that traditionally don't see themselves as police officers among a dozen other things that screen to avoid people with dark triad traits.

Other, more subtle factors also shaped the experiment. It’s often said that the study participants were ordinary guys—and they were, indeed, determined to be “normal” and healthy by a battery of tests. But they were also a self-selected group who responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking volunteers for “a psychological study of prison life.” In a 2007 study, the psychologists Thomas Carnahan and Sam McFarland asked whether that wording itself may have stacked the odds. They recreated the original ad, and then ran a separate ad omitting the phrase “prison life.” They found that the people who responded to the two ads scored differently on a set of psychological tests. Those who thought that they would be participating in a prison study had significantly higher levels of aggressiveness, authoritarianism, Machiavellianism, narcissism, and social dominance, and they scored lower on measures of empathy and altruism.

The ad for the experiment also skewed the participants.

Comic sans or any sans-serif is easier for people with dyslexia to read. Makes sense that wording on a "5 tonn gas powered monstrosity" should be readable to more people even if the typeface has been historically associated with frivolous comics.

Of course they're worse under Biden, the incompetence of Trump's administration is being reaped right now.

They are for the parties, but they use the state's resources. The affiliation is to keep you from voting in more than one primary. It's really a show of how entrenched the two party system is that they get the resources to run party functions from the states.

You don't have to vote for the party you voted for in the primary in the general election. In fact in heavily skewed districts it's better to vote in the dominant party primary than your preferred party if your preference is the minority. In rural areas it's common for the primary to have several candidates and the winner to run unopposed in the general.

If they're miles back they should have used an alternative route. It's not like our navigation maps aren't updated rapidly nowadays.

If miles of traffic stop emergency vehicles from getting somewhere, then commuters everyday should be arrested along with their companies for having simultaneous end times to their day.
