@Fatboy8

I would, but someone didn’t make the poll public.

Obviously I know who one of the no voters is.

TIL: The word iron has no rhyme in General American. Interesting.

[Fatboy8]

I’m not one of the no voters ,if that’s what you’re implying.

I tired to make it public but the poll is too old to do it now.

@WichitaDM

The GOP using the military to subjugate the dirty heathen west coast lefties is about 10x more likely than this possibility at this point.

I think if California tried to secede, they’d say good riddance and laugh and fail to understand the magnitude of what was happening.

@jmakin

They don’t want to govern. It’s quite easy to predict. The SC and GOP are going all in on absolute state’s rights, and if this continues I think you’re going to start to see 2 very different countries develop within itself

I actually don’t have a problem with that, if red states want to be a dystopian hellhole, go for it, but I don’t want to subsidize it with my taxes

Yeah some may recall me suggesting that Dems become the party of state rights in like 2017-18, while agreeing to a balanced budget amendment in exchange for the Constitutional right to form intrastate pools of liquidity for various social programs, back when the GOP wouldn’t have seen it coming and might have thought they were snap-calling a win. Dems could then have proposed a massive tax cut, basically turning the federal government into military and regulation with no ability to borrow to fund either.

Since we’re fucked the only thing to look forward to now is Medicare and Social security get nuked and boomers being left in the streets by their kids who hate them.

They’ll sunset those so that they’re still there for Boomers and somewhat there for Gen X. They’ll only nuke them for Millennials and younger.

Oh right. Thanks for robbing me of all joy.

This timeline sucks.

@anon38180840

somewhat there for Gen X

[goreo]

We talking about this yet?

We’re a few minutes away from a press conference where attorney Gloria Allred says she will introduce a woman whom Georgia’s Republican senate candidate Herschel Walker paid to have an abortion.

The woman would be the second to come forward and say that Walker, who supports a national ban on abortion without exceptions, helped her afford the procedure. The woman’s identity and face won’t be revealed publicly, Allred said.

Realistic best case: they’d have enough of a credible threat to roll back the filibuster to push the ball forward on some key issues.

What would actually happen: two years of telling us how much good they could do if we just voted harder to get to 55 Senators in 2024.

[eyebooger]

@anon12304106

if we just voted harder to get to 55 Senators in 2024.

Yeah, even the media will tell everyone that that won’t work.

We have a much better shot to get to 55 senators in 2022 than 2024, even if the chance of 55 this cycle is 1 in 10,000.

Well, you’re The Devil, so…

The thing to know about Hell is, it can always get worse.
