Mamdani won NYC Mayor, Sherrill won NJ Governor, Spangberg won VI Governor, Prop 50 passed in CA, Prop LL passed in CO, VI state legislature Democrat majority increased by 13 seats and Jay Jones won AG election, PA state supreme court maintains 5-3 dem majority, Dems win seats on Georgia's PSC for the first time in a quarter century, Dems win 2 MI state house and MI state senate seats breaking Rep supermajority, Dems win 3 previously Republican Mayoral races in CT, NJ state assembly dems won 3 gop seats gaining a supermajority, Philly DA reelected.

Crazy what can happen when we aren't using starlink as a service intermediary. (There are 7 days left for the judge on the Rockland County voter discrepancy lawsuit to either dismiss the suit or request more information after Rockland County Board of Elections has refused to provide audit results.)

Young Men voted Blue atleast +10 points.
Young Men voted Socialist +40 points.


The wave is coming.


I guess shutting the government down past November to ensure cuts to healthcare for millions wasn't a politically intelligent move, now was it President stuffass?

It wasn't wins all around, of course. In Texas, all 17 propositions passed, which isn't bad on its own but particularly prop 2 and prop 6 enshrine in texas state law further loopholes to prevent millionaires from having to pay taxes as long as they are able to tie up their wealth in stocks or investments (which doesnt prevent them from borrowing against said funds that they can claim they dont have, and yeah boring economics but basically they get all the spending power without needing to contribute to society for it), and prop 15 which is particularly dangerous for lgbt youth of christian extremist parents.

prop 15 which is particularly dangerous for lgbt youth of christian extremist parents

The amendment added language to the state constitution to provide that parents have the right "to exercise care, custody, and control of the parent's child, including the right to make decisions concerning the child's upbringing" and the responsibility "to nurture and protect the parent's child."

Ballot Title: The constitutional amendment affirming that parents are the primary decision makers for their children

on the flip side you could also say it's dangerous for youth who have lgbt extremist parents. could you imagine a parent who would convince their kid they were born the wrong gender or influence their child to undergo hormone therapy or some irreversible life changing surgery? or how about having tribal extremist parents? those would be bad too. my point being it seems your viewing this through such a narrow scope your missing the big picture

This is a priority because, currently, the constitutional rights of parents are found only in case law, which is controlled by judges. Those rights could disappear if we have bad judges who make it into office

To enshrine truths that are deeply rooted in this nation's history and traditions, the people of Texas hereby affirm that a parent has the responsibility to nurture and protect the parent's child and the corresponding fundamental right to exercise care, custody, and control of the parent's child, including the right to make decisions concerning the child's upbringing.

this isn't really different from what many states already have adopted as a 'parent's bill of rights'



although the specifics for each state differ, you can look them up and compare them here

Vaxxed?

lgbt extremist parents

lol

could you imagine a parent who would convince their kid they were born the wrong gender

no

or how about having tribal extremist parents? those would be bad too

ok...?

I was just going to leave it at laughing at you for your weird lgbt extremist comment (right now according to the federal government an lgbt extremist is anyone who says trans people deserve equal protections under the law so kinda weird take) but it seems you agree that the bill is harmful; it limits the rights and protections of children against manipulative parents, so I am confused why are you acting like it's a good thing.

So close to getting it.

Parent's Rights is "State's Rights" all over again.

Despite what bible thumping lunatics believe, people cannot be property.
Not because of their skin color, not because of their incarceration status, and not because of their age.

So therefore I must ask Parent's rights to do what?

It must be certainly easy for the average American to imagine a child as being a helpless infant until they turn 18 where they magically know everything. But it isn't healthy or sensible.

People are meant to explore and gain autonomy as they get older so that when the eventual bell ringing of 18 comes along they aren't helpless.

Trans Rights may be the fore-front issue here in terms of the talking points, but it is far from where this ends. This parent's rights stuff is pushed by the same idiots who think they can pray the covid away and that vaccines cause autism.

And lest we forget, there are special interests involved now. With these massive pushes for privatizing education and pushing for a "voucher" system to substitute it. It won't be long until the Right starts calling the vouchers handouts and cuts that too. Meanwhile as states like Florida are gutting child labor laws, and the economy is going to stuff, parents will be able to force their kids to work.

Because "Parent's Rights."

And here we have the party of "Parent's Rights"


If anything, parents pushing for "Parent's Rights" should be a mandatory CPS call. Not that we're going to have CPS for much longer either with President creep in office.
