What is it with republicans passing laws most folks don't like?

[Elmo]

Name the best two of them (who actually ran, excluding Biden).

Klobuchar, Castro, Yang, Bloomberg were all viable candidates against Trump. Frankly I think Sanders and Buttigieg were too despite additional challenges.

 

[Elmo]

He won because he was a life long moderate.

True. "life long" = "everyone already knew his name".

Klobuchar, Castro, Yang, Bloomberg were all viable candidates against Trump. Frankly I think Sanders and Buttigieg were too despite additional challenges.

Really?

Klobuchar won 0 primaries and got 7 delegates.

Castro won 0 primaries or delegates.

Yang won 0 primaries or delegates.

Bloomberg won 1 primary and got 59 delegates.

Sanders (not a demorat) won 9 primaries and got 1,073 delegates. By far the most popular of the (also ran) bunch among demorat primary voters, but was seen as unelectable in the general election.

Buttigieg won 2 primaries and got 21 delegates.

The majority of americans do not want Roe v Wade overturned and yet the gop is foaming at the mouth trying to get as many draconian abortion laws as possible passed, against the will of the people. Imagine what they will do if they get control of government again?

They know they can do damage, then have their media mouths tell the sheep that it's the Democrat's fault and they'll believe it.

 

[bluemoonofKY]

And the entire country suffered for that mistake.

Speak for yourself but if it is any consolation to you I’m suffering now.

I know, I was there. And all those those stats are barely if at all related to viability in the general. Because primary voters are going to vote for the nominee whoever it is. Do you honestly think that any significant number of Biden voters would have switched to Trump if Klobuchar was the nominee? Any of them were viable because the nominee of a major party is going to get all the screen time and recognition they need for the general.

Huge numbers of people voted for Biden not because they loved him and his policies, but because they thought he was the "safe" choice to beat Trump. Which is a dumb way to decide because it is a self fulfilling prophecy. People say Biden is safe ---> Biden does better in primary ---> people say he is even safer ---> Biden does even better in primary... and so on and so on.

Most people agree with the law just passed in Florida not allowing teachers to discuss sex or gender to K-3 graders. You're kidding yourself if you think most people agree with the radical democratic party...

Actually you are incorrect. Which is why you didn't include anything to support your incorrect statement.

According to polls, 62% of the nation disagrees with the don't say gay bill in Florida.

Most Americans Don't Agree With LGBTQ+ Discussion Bans in Schools, Survey Says

Most Americans don't agree with laws that would ban LGBTQ+ discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools.

www.fatherly.com

From the article:

The poll, conducted by ABC News and Ipsos, found that 62% of Americans would oppose legislation like the recent controversial Florida legislation. 37% would support limiting what educators can teach in public schools. Although the results were skewed down party lines it’s not so cut and dry — 39% of those who identified as Republicans oppose such legislation along with 80% of Democrats and 65% of Independents.

Hmmm....seems more like certain areas with high concentrations of liberals don't want it, generally isolated to a few states. If you look across the country, the GOP controls the vast majority of state congresses, which means your comment misses the mark.

 

[smallvoice]

You are not a spokesman for what most folks like or don't like.

Ok sarah palin, all of them. You funny. Google can show you which states are poorly run if you so wish. Or is google also another left wing rag that lies to help the dems?

I'm not Sarah Palin, I'm not funny, Liberals are showing by their movement which states are run poorly, and you are the only one who reads any left wing rag.
What's your point, again?

Gerrymandering. They don't have to care what most people want.

 

[smallvoice]

Try again.

Look at the post he was responding to, the op, it was asking why the GOP passes laws AMERICANS don't like (not liberals).

He said if the gop wins it will be a liberals worst nightmare.

Which implies that the liberals worst night mare would be a government that passes laws Americans don't like.

And the GiP will pass laws Americans don't like to piss off liberals.

Seems to be the gops new platform......policy is irrelevant as long as we own the libs.

Liberals aren't Americans? I always suspected that...

Republicans pass laws that real Americans like. We certainly don't plan to piss off liberals, but that is an extra benefit. We certainly don't want to own the libs, they provide no value.

 

[bongsaway]

So you think the laws passed in red states aren't popular with the majority of the state citizens?

I think the legislatures in these states don't care if their citizens like it or not.

 

[bongsaway]

If you can read I said mistress/girlfriend/wife. I can't comment on your life style.
I knew you couldn't answer the questions.
I'll answer them for you.
Roe v Wade is still in play.
Yes you can get an abortion in any of the 50 states.

Oklahoma governor signs near-total ban on abortion into law | CNN Politics

Oklahoma Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt on Tuesday signed a bill into law that makes performing an abortion illegal in the state, with an exception only in the case of a medical emergency.

www.cnn.com

My partner is a female.
Roe v Wade is under attack by the gop and if they get their way abortion will be illegal in america. Do you deny this?

 

[bongsaway]

Oh, don't I know it. I am a conservative living in California. I often feel as I imagine you feel as a progressive living in Florida. But I am not going to pretend that the laws that are passed in my state whether by legislation or referendum are not wanted either explicitly or implicitly by a majority of our citizens.

California is a different animal than most other states because the citizens are in my opinion the most active as far as politics are concerned. In flori-duh I can't say the same or some other gop controlled states. Do you think the citizens of texas wanted all of the trucks coming across the border 'inspected' by the state police? I don't. Do you think my governor, DeSantis checks with his citizens before he acts? He was being begged for help during the pandemic but he wanted florida open for business no matter how many people were dying. These governors don't care about the citizens, they are doing these things because both Abbott and DeSantis will try a presidential run and are going after trump's base.

 

[bongsaway]

IF "a majority of Americans" really don't hat R v W overturned. all the have to do is elect democrats. Doesn't appear they're gonna do that.

It's tough when a republican controlled state fixes things so that even if a republican candidate loses, the party can still pick up seats. DeSantis wants his district map to go into effect giving the gop a 20-8 advantage to pick up seats. In essences in red states dems are at a severe disadvantage due to gerrymandering. Feel free to disagree.

Eight states are currently attacking abortion, all red states. If you look across the country that leaves forty two that aren't attacking abortion.

 

[Josie]

I think the legislatures in these states don't care if their citizens like it or not.

That’s not what I asked.

 

[Josie]

Eight states are currently attacking abortion, all red states. If you look across the country that leaves forty two that aren't attacking abortion.

And the politicians of those states should be doing what the people of those states want. Do you have information that the majority of people in these red states are against these laws?

 

[NolanVoyd]

Of course not.

So you are gor the GOP passing laws Americans don't want.

 

[NolanVoyd]

True. "life long" = "everyone already knew his name".

Equals everyone already knew he was a moderate.

 

[ttwtt78640]

Did you miss the point of the OP?

The OP’s point seems to be that most (42?) states are not passing more restrictive abortion laws, but he is upset that some red states are. Did you see some other point?

 

[NolanVoyd]

Liberals aren't Americans? I always suspected that...

Republicans pass laws that real Americans like. We certainly don't plan to piss off liberals, but that is an extra benefit. We certainly don't want to own the libs, they provide no value.

Of course liberals are Americans.

And I think you need to review the OP.

Republicans past laws that large majorities of actual real Americans, of both parties do not like.

How did you miss that?

You should review.

 

[NolanVoyd]

The OP’s point seems to be that most (42?) states are not passing more restrictive abortion laws, but he is upset that some red states are. Did you see some other point?

The point is that Republicans pass laws that most Americans don't want.

 

[ttwtt78640]

Equals everyone already knew he was a moderate.

What is moderate about ending (new) oil and gas leases on federal lands or significantly opening up the southern border? Those two campaign promises alone indicated that Joe “Where am I?” Biden was no longer a moderate.

I agree that Biden was (aka used to be) a moderate as were many others in the demorat party, but that is not how he campaigned in 2020. Likely because Biden’s main DNC primary rival was Bernie Sanders - clearly indicating a leftward move among the demorat electorate. If not for Clyburn’s endorsement ahead of the South Carolina primary, Biden would have had no chance of getting the nomination.

 

[Mycroft]

So you are gor the GOP passing laws Americans don't want.

Again, no. I'm for the GOP passing laws the left doesn't want.
