This Bill Maher take is so stupid

He is essentially saying that people fighting oppression and tyranny over here should be grateful that we don’t live in Afghanistan because it’s worse there. No! why can’t you be against both….that’s like saying that if someone is getting slapped in the face, but someone else is getting stabbed that the person getting slapped should be grateful because the person stabbed would love to be in their position. We should want better…and why is he comparing the US to Afghanistan…the comparison should be between the US and other western countries like Canada, New Zealand, Germany, Sweden, etc

California recall and VA Governor election

If Newsom and McAuliffe both lose

Media -this is not a good sign for the Democrats, they are in bad shape for 2022

If one loses

Media - this is not a good sign for the Democrats, they are in bad shape for 2022

If both win

Media - yeah, they won but it was closer than it should have been… this is not a good sign for the Democrats, they are in bad shape for 2022

If Republicans were in charge of California, NY, VA, and Colorado

I am making this post about redistricting. So the states I listed in the title have some type of independent commission that determines congressional districts and are all controlled by Democrats. This is in contrast to states like Texas, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina where there are no commissions and Republicans gets to draw the lines.

If the Republicans controlled the states I mentioned in the title they would be looking at a way to ignore the commission and draw their own districts and Democrats should do the same. I feel like the Democrats have unilaterally disarmed and are going to pay the price for it. I am all for ending gerrymandering, but you can’t end if the other side won’t.
