I'm not American.
I do not deny those were problems but they were overcome. I do love America more than any other country in this world. For this reason, I insist on the right to criticize it.
So should everyone and it's not my intention to make it seem like you shouldn't.

And now we have James Baldwin. Seriously, just stop engaging.
Dude, since when has that ever happened on here? I am quite literally known for telling people that to be ignored as they continued to feed them.
I mean I outright started trolling myself overtly and told them how to handle it and still got 2 pages.
You can troll here forever and so long as you aren’t overt to the point of outright admitting it and also giving them a flashlight and a map to handle the interaction they will continue.
Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add

to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.
Abortion pills in demand after reversal of Roe vs Wade
I'm sure news of this being deemed illegal will happen at some point, too.
Clarence Thomas wants to do anything he can to hurt the left because he says they made him feel miserable during his confirmation hearing. Meanwhile certain people believe we need to find common ground. How do you find common ground with someone whose solely fueled by vengeance and out to make the lives of millions of people miserable?
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told his law clerks in the '90s that he wanted to serve for 43 years to make liberals' lives 'miserable'

I have to disagree with this take. The SCOTUS did not, in fact, decide abortion wasn't legal anymore. Though less federal laws defending it is a concern, I'm sure the States will come with viable solutions to this lack of regulation. Hopefully regulation that doesn't ban it.

Hopefully not. I can't imagine a sane legal argument that could ever put it into question.

So he's a petty, whiny bitch to the point of almost being Trump? Neat.
I'm prone to engage now and then myself, but I don't know if I'd ever say it was worth it lol
Easiest money they'll make in their dealing careers with the rate things are going.
Their entire Intent in removing the federal protection was so that states could outlaw it.
These evangelical judges aren’t doing things without knowing what it will result in. They’re doing it to exact a specific effect; in this case, outlawing abortion because doing so comports with their religious beliefs.
You can’t honestly argue “sure the judges are from a religiously motivated party, sure they overturned abortion protection, and sure that means that some states who are also religiously motivated will outlaw it, but that doesn’t mean that the judges meant for that to happen all along!”
Though one could certainly dishonestly argue it.

Words to live by.
I don’t smoke or anything but I would happily contribute to the cause.
Edit: just have to be careful which family member I let know because I know at least one that has no problem selling coke and other stuff and no problem with thieves and stuff like that so long as they aren’t taking from him but would get all high and mighty on this.

This entire logic of originalism falls hard when it's confronted with the history of Slavery and Jim Crow in the US. Originalism allowed for that, even Barry Goldwater in the 50's espoused that, but later on he realized that Originalism isn't without it's flaws.
The ability of individual states to deprive people of liberty is allowed under originalism.
Preaching to the choir. Currently working through my career, and if I can save up I'll retire in another country outside of the US. If I hit the lottery, ya, I'm retiring immediately and filing for NZ, IR, and CA citizenship for some retirement visa.
Way more civil society in those countries, and freedom of expression isn't as brutal as the US is.
No...I thought Bluff was being optimistic. I was disagreeing with their post - I do not think this will galvanize the Democrats, and if it does, it won't be enough. I think the GQP smells blood in the water, and can see the fruits of their decades long labor paying off, and they will double down to keep winning.
If we were going to see a YUGE influx of voters coming out of the woodwork, that would have happened in the 2020 election, voting down ticket.
I think, will all due respect, perhaps my point wasn't clear to you. I could be missing something though - just shout.
I mean...the country banning burkini's isn't exactly out there as the shining beacon of liberal democracy either. Especially with the latest election.
Far-right nutters (who aren't even responsible for the ban mentioned) are a problem everywhere. This isn't to say that we're not a shitshow - we absolutely are - but maybe don't throw stones from glass houses : P
I'm of another opinion - people can wear whatever the fuck they want as long as it conforms to the basic standards of decency (i.e. covers the naughty bits).
Because as with abortion, I think women can and should choose what happens with their bodies, including what they wear.
