I think we all know what the party of small government and states rights thinks of states doing things they don’t agree with.

Ah yes, the pinnacle of toxicity, asking for solutions rather than meaningless grandstanding.
You could be productive, like discussing how to better influence primaries to have not shithead democrats, or campaign for rcv, instead you’ve offered no functional solutions and act like we should view your smugness as superior?
I don’t even know if you’d call this a devil’s advocate position - liberal’s advocate? But perhaps it’s worth asking if it’s better to have the infrastructure actually built rather than having the next admin reenact the trail of tears? I’m not sure I’m convinced, but I can see the reasoning.
It may not have been his plan, but given who funded him it’s not exactly a wild conspiracy.
While I think the meme’s a bit far, if I see a .ml talking about how great China is, I’m going to just glaze over whatever they’re saying.
I’m not saying I agree with the decision, but as Biden, would you really want your son somewhere Trump could immediately fuck with him as soon as he wanted? Had Kamala won this would absolutely be a dumbass decision. With Trump incoming… I get it.
Do unto others as you want done unto you. Basically all of game theory. The threat of a guillotine. These are all extremely basic and rational arguments that merely ask you not to be a dickhead.
Is there value in needlessly complicating things? Not that what you’re doing is only adding complexity, it’s also just worse than real medicine, but even if that’s all it achieved - why?
It is extremely common, if one distrusts “modern medicine”, to use that same logic to distrust vaccines, ya know, a subset of modern medicine. Plenty of anti vax parents out there trying to treat braighleigh’s measles with pine nettles and “essential oils” - y’all are using the same lapse of logic, you’re gonna get lumped together.
Herbal medicine is not modern medicine’s “equal”, it is not condescending to refer to it as inferior. It is unbelievably frustrating to see individuals act as though their limited knowledge of plants and complete lack of knowledge of pharmaceuticals gives them any leg to stand on compared to a qualified medical professional.
some herbal medicine works - it’s the stuff we made into modern medicine after decades of research. There is a distinct difference between “chew on this bark, it contains aspirin” and “don’t vax your kids, just rub these leaves on them”, and nobody’s really condescending to the first type.
Vegans complaining about other people needlessly injecting themselves into conversations is peak copium.
My dude. I hope ten years from now, you’re a well adjusted and productive member of society, and think back to writing this comment. I hope it makes you cringe.
