What Republicans Are Actually About: Revenge, stupid

@GottaLaff Vice President Harris is truly a hero. And while she’s not president, she’s still our great, and favorite Vice President. We still have November, and December to enjoy VP Harris and Pres. Biden’s amazing leadership. We’ll just have to savor every last minute we have with them in power…
PS: if i was Pres. Biden, I would sign into law everything he can… Oh, and two months with Joe and Kamala is better than nothing…
Trump election
@paco it's horrible. And such a terrible scenario for Palestinians and Ukrainians. Such despair.
OK one more thing...
Further proof it is the racism here in Wisconsin.
Looks like Tammy Baldwin is going to retain her Senate seat by some 25,000 votes. Trump carried the state.
Which says to me that 25K people here in WI are perfectly fine voting for a white, openly bisexual woman, but not a Black woman. You cannot tell me there is any difference in competence or policy positions between Harris and Baldwin. It sure looks like racism to me.
This whole election looks to me like "Urban Renewal" in the 1960s.
After working in factories for 2 decades starting in WWII Black people starting buying houses. White people left in droves. After the while folks left, they made sure to "get rid of the eyesores" (Black people's neighborhoods) that remained in the cities. They would talk about "economic development" and "revitalization" but underneath it was just pure, ugly racism.
That's what drove this election. Not money, not campaign ad spending, not the economy. Just pure racism (by which I include all other "divisions," immigrants, Muslims, LGTBQ+, sexism, etc.)
@MylesRyden @uspolitics To those who insisted that's not who "we" are, I regret to repeat myself: That is, indeed, who "we" are.
Colorado voted Tuesday to preserve abortion access in the state constitution and lifted a 40-year-old ban on using government money to pay for abortions.

@TonyStark The only reason Ohio got to reject its similar amendment is because voters rejected a 60% threshold in a separate ballot measure first. So many hoops to make voters go through just to allow women rights to our own bodies.
@GottaLaff This is disgusting.
Ohioans have been voting for fair redistricting for years, but gop has fought citizens at every step along the way. This issue would have created a fair redistricting commission. Gop killed it again to preserve gerrymandering.
More: New York voters passed an equal rights amendment that enshrines protections for abortion and LGBTQ rights in the State Constitution.
