Republican representative Russ Diamond of Pennsylvania wants to introduce a new state holiday called Charlie Kirk Day, celebrating the man who wanted Joe Biden dead, wanted Taylor Swift to be more submissive, and claimed blacks were unqualified to be airline pilots.
I suppose, since Valentine's Day already celebrates love, it is only fair to give a day to those who want to celebrate hate.
Republicans — all about inclusivity. 🤷🏻♂️
@randahl A devious plan. Make the date of the man's assassination a national holiday to entrap anyone that uses the day off as an excuse to have a party or so much as smile.
~"On this our most blessed and God-given holiday, let us follow Charlie's example by solemnly berating any teenagers within earshot about the acceptable rate of death by gunshot wound."~
@randahl This country is sick as hell.
The American Dream is definitely gone and dead.
Gotta be kidding…
@va3ekr Living in Denmark, it seems to me, the US lacks more parties. We have a close to 80 percent election participation rate here, because we typically have around 10 parties on the ballot, so EVERYONE can find someone to vote for — from the hardest right wingers, to the most socialist left wingers, to the most green, etc.
Additionally, you cannot gerrymander the Danish elections, because we have proportional elections, so nationwide, 20 percent of the vote is 20 percent of the seats.
@randahl Well the two party system is a real problem. It's even a problem in Canada where the Liberals typically win from a "at least we aren't crazy like the conservatives" and the NDP just collapsed (unfortunately).
The USA also has the senate that is deeply anti-democratic.
Gerrymandering is a huge issue, no idea how to solve that given the actual mechanisms of change to elections.
And the Democrats are terrible at formulating a coherent message, and have really lost sight of labor. sigh.
@va3ekr In Denmark, people like Bernie Sanders and AOC would be in a left-leaning party, while people like Kamala Harris would be in a centrist party, and they would still be able to form a government together.
If the US had a similar multiparty system, I am convinced more Americans would vote.
Currently, to vote for AOC you need to vote for the party of Chuck Schumer — and vice-versa.
@hellomiakoda @randahl what about all the soldiers, police, nurses, doctors, teachers...i guess they didn't make as much of a contribution than this big head angry guy. wow. america. wow.
these politicians are falling all over themselves to see how fast they can kowtow to the trump regime.
