Voting republican tells Dems they need to go further to the right.Voting Green and supporting progressive Democrats only tells them they need to go further to the left.
After Ralph Nadler took millions of votes from the centrist Al Gore top Dems candidates like Kerry,Edwards,Dean and Obama ran farther to the left than Bill Clinton and Al Gore After Progressives and blacks stayed home or give millions of votes to Jill Stein in 2016 Biden ran the most progressive general election campaign ever to win.Biden lied and after winning turned back to the centrist he has always been .Lessen learned and millions of progressives will no longer fall for a life long centrist who turns progressive while campaigning for The Presidency but Green party candidates like Jill Stein and Ralph Nadler and Bernie Bros who refuse to vote for centrist dems pushes democrats to the left.
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) signed the strictest anti-abortion law in the nation, giving the country a preview of a possible post-Roe future, the Oklahoman reports. The law prohibits most abortions beginning at fertilization, with no exceptions for rape or incest unless they were reported to law enforcement. The law also encourages private citizens to sue anyone suspected of helping a person get an abortion.
Here we go with public funding of religious schools… This ruling changes a previous conservative ruling that states may provide funding for religious based schools of funding is provided for non religious private schools to states must provide funding for religious based schools if private schools receive funding. A very significant decision that will lead to more decisions. Maybe one or two more cases and we are in a different country on this issue… don’t underestimate it. It’s as big as guns and abortion.
You would think lefties would be excited about roe overturn. It ups the odds that red states may turn blue with part of female vote swinging the other way because they want to safely eject their babies.
You wound think right-wing extremists would be excited to support Roe vs. Wade -- considering abortion disproportionately reduces the number of dark-skinned people in the U.S. --- something they seem to heartily applaud in general.
public funding for private/religious schools is a tricky subject. In general many religious schools get funding from the Church (if Catholic and they are rich) as well as from parents in the form of tuition PLUS annual fundraising galas. This also leads to better pay for staff. Things public schools certainly go without. Private schools, at least in my area, charge almost a college tuition and still fundraise. Why should they get taxpayer funds if the exclusively restrict who can go there and have numerous sources of money to tap into? On the other side they often meet state requirements for education and perhaps they request funding for special programs that all public schools participate in and want to be on the same footing since their kids are often meeting or exceeding state requirements. It is a tough call but I think a State is valid in denying any public funds to private or religious schools across the board. HOWEVER... and here is the problem, if they allow public funds to private schools then excluding religious schools becomes difficult to support since you already crossed the hard and fast line between public and private. That is where states get into trouble.
