Glad that 1.6% difference at the polls means a "landslide victory" and that means that donvict has a "mandate" to do absolutely insane things that almost no one asked for.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Also won with less than 50% of the vote. But yeah, most people voted for this.
This should work out fine, right?
In 6 years when there's a polio outbreak, Republicans will vote for Republicans because Democrats didn't stop the outbreak fast enough.
And leftists will not vote for Democrats because they didn't stop Republicans from coming into power in 2024.
And non-Republicans will sit out or protest vote for the same reason 🤦♂️
Polio vaccines protect you for life, right? As do other the other current standard childhood vaccines? I'm on an immunosuppressant for my autoimmune disease and illnesses like polio and the like terrify me.
The standard polio vaccine schedule involves four doses spread out over childhood. If kids don't get all of them, they are going to be less resistant to polio. There is no required adult booster, if you went through the process as recommended.
Do the other current standard childhood vaccines last for life? No. Tetanus does not. Neither do shots for the flu or COVID. I'm assuming that you weren't thinking about the last two, but you probably should include them when considering this topic.
I wasn't talking about tetanus, flu, or COVID lol. I know those have to be redone. Hopefully they don't get banned, because the flu and COVID could kill me. Tetanus sounds awful, too.
I hope these motherfuckers get tetanus and fucking die. Something self inflicted, I'm not calling for violence, but ultimately ending with them ceasing to live. I'd accept heart attack, stroke, natural causes, whatever, but it would be a little sweeter if it were something a vaccine could prevent. Or COVID, I'd like to see them succumb to that. The possibilities....
Why sell cures when you can sell treatments? Truly a grift to our very popular healthcare industry.
Getting rid of programs that help prevent outbreaks worked well in 2018...why not? At least if there is another pandemic, we have the guy in the office who has experience with such chaos. Coincidence I'm sure.
“Project Warp Speed” really gets talked up these days.
Increased morbidity and mortality, incoming. :-( this is so dumb.
Kennedy learned nothing from those people he killed in Samoa and trump learned nothing from his first term.
