Shut the fuck up about how you won't be "bullied" to just vote for the Democrat no matter who: Trump threatens to cut funding to Cali over Abortion
- Thread starter excelsiorlef

Cali would probably be quite happy to quit sending money to Alabama and Mississippi if they actually try and stop their funding. California by itself has, what, like the fifth largest economy in the world? They send way more money out than what they get from the federal government. If the federal government wants to play hardball like that, California's net profits go up, not down.
If I were Cali I'd threaten to secede then. Maybe Oregon and Washington would join.
Fuck Trump and fuck those who would see him elected into office again one way or another.

Republicans: The Party of States' Rights*
*Void in California and New York
Yeah, any non-voters sitting on the fence will surely be swayed by that title. lol
This is terrible and an erosion of a woman's right to choose. The right is systematically denying women their health care and we have got to stop that. But the thread title isn't going to get you anywhere excelsiorlef. Dems need to run good candidates. Running terrible center-left candidates and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.
All I can say is too stay off twitter and stop listening to the hardcore politically motivated fan bases during the primary season. Your sanity will thank you and you'll be more willing to have reasonable discussion with people that you're trying to convince.
Red states should think long and hard about the precedents this fascist administration are making. Trump won't be around forever 'triggering libs' and payback is a female dog, bubbas

Nah fuck this shit.
Your post is literally the erosion of women's rights is awful but telling people to vote to stop it is mean.
Fight in the Primary, come home in the general.
If this title makes you feel attacked, reflect on why.
Any non-voters sitting on the fence still after the inhumanity of the last 3 years probably were never going to give a shit anyway.
It must be nice to be so comfortable and secure that you feel like it doesn't matter if Trump gets re-elected or not.
You should shut the fuck up if you don't vote. The Trump years are the easiest it has ever been to make a decision on who to vote for.
There are reasons to vote for Trump (you like his racism, tax cuts, etc) but if you don't vote and then still want to complain about Trump or the government then don't be surprised when people call you out for being the idiot you are.

It is my mission too highlight what it truly means to hmm and haww in the GE.
It's not just who you vote for, it is who you are willing to campaign for, who the most passionate people are willing to campaign for. I absolutely will oppose Trump but I would be very worried if Biden or Buttigieg won because they don't have the base of people willing to stand in the cold canvassing or calling.
We're in primary phase so I get it, but in the long run there's really no choice and cow poking to non voters is pointless. The only way to truly reach someone who is so detached they refuse to vote at this point requires a wake up call.
Trumps strategy to fuel his bases wet dreams continue, a fight with California and over abortion... lol they seem to be seeing really short sided this time around overall. Coming in too hot only helps the opposition, 2016 was done a bit more technical with feeding doubts many already felt around Hillary. The red meat his voters would eat up was kept to doses that could be trump explained later by the campaign.

But if he does get another four years, then we'll definitely have a better chance at a perfect candidate winning the Democratic nomination and general election in 2024! There's no way we'd end up with a centrist Democrat or a garden-variety right-wing Republican after a full eight years of The Donald Trump Show: Starring Donald Trump! /s
It doesn't make me feel attacked. I've said on ERA for the past couple of years that I wasn't "blue no matter who", and my position hasn't changed. I don't think that this title (or tactic) forms a winning strategy or a good basis for discussion. It didn't work for Clinton in 2016 for sure.
They aint gunna know until its too late unfortunately. Keep up the good fight tho, its lovely to see arguments meet reality.
Maybe that's the gamble. If Trump can do enough damage now, they won't have to worry about libs never being triggered again, because they're going All-In On Trump, hoping he'll create a MAGA Reich that will last for a thousand years and create Conservative Eden for generations to come.
But I only agree with 95% of their positions. Best to just let the guy I don't agree with all get reelected.
People really should have realised this before Trump let alone after the Muslim and trans military bans.
Principles don't mean shit if they get another supreme court appointee.

You're right:
Maybe I;ll get it changed to Women's Rights are eroding everywhere but I understand if it's too much to ask for you to vote against that in 2020
Reagan kind of achieved that, right? His policies defined not just the GOP for the 4 decades to follow, but also informed the Third Way Democrats.
We have a chance to stop Trump and the alt-right here, if we're smart and rally around good policies instead of just a safe sense of inevitability.
I will vote for ANYONE in the Democratic Party. Even Tulsi. Anything to get Trump out. WE CANNOT LOSE THE SCOTUS FOR 3-4 DECADES.
Telling nonvoters that they're bigoted and should shut the fuck up is not a good strategy to get them to vote.
OP
OP
You're right next time i'll hold their hand and tell them I totally understand that their conscience doesn;'t allow them to take the only action that can prevent Trump from further eroding women's rights.
I'm not saying politicians don't have a responsibility to motivate but people also need to get their shit together. Plenty of people who don't vote for really stupid reasons.
Neither are civil rights / human rights. Fuck em. They're just voting republican via our electoral college with their bullshit.
It will never not make me irrationally angry when people brush the court nominees off.
