I only see it as a big fuck you to the eventual democratic candidate. He splits the “progressive” side of the vote and gets the Republican elected.

My state’a standardized test says kids are “at risk” if they aren’t in the top 40% of the test. The top 50% could all be traditional “a-b” students. But because they weren’t in the top 80% of a-b students they are at risk for failing academically… It’s so asinine and disheartening. The last half of the year is devoted to this idiotic test. Kids could be learning stuff that will enrich themselves… Instead they are learnig how to take a test better.
It’s hard to describe personal politics prior to 2000. It was easy to be a sane conservative in the 80s. There was obviously shady shit going on behind the scenes. But outwardly the conservative movement mostly espoused mainstream thought at the time.
“Bastardize” is a term of art, essentially meaning having no legal father at birth. The whole reason the state cares about preventing bastards is because they typically require more state services than non-bastardized children.
This is common. In Tennessee, a judge won’t divorce you if pregnant because it would effectively bastardize the child. By statute, there is a presumption that husband is dad if wife is impregnated during marriage. You can’t divorce without a parenting plan. So you have to wait until birth to rebut the parentage presumption. I had a client try to get around it by requesting a test of the amniotic fluid, but the judge wouldn’t allow it because of the potential harm to the child.
It can be both
If so, then they are horrible scientists.
Ranked choice voting is our only hope.
Reliably entertaining, but will never be considered a masterpiece.
No it isn’t.
Oldest existing democracy, not the first one to ever exist. Here is an article that discusses the basis and legitimacy of this claim: https://www.valuewalk.com/top-10-countries-with-oldest-democracies/
In the nineties, i had an old guy respond “‘Hey’ is the first stage of horse shit.”. I still use it to this day.
The universe will still exist… But the end of the human animal is most certainly nigh.
Thou doth protest too much.
Put another way, the opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.
You’re coming off as a simp. I’d rather be a hater.
How are they going to ensure they “conceive” ?
You are assuming that a good democratic candidate wouldn’t win. Maybe a good democratic candidate never ran because they didn’t want to split the vote.
If they vote for a republican then so be it. Better than a Republican in Dem’s clothes. Besides, maybe when people have an option that is better than “shitty fake dem” versus fascist, maybe they’ll surprise you.
