Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
1, didn't call you a Lib, said your take was lib.
2, I at no point said nothing can be done, I just don't believe THIS particular action will not achieve any good and could just embolden Republicans.
Everything makes the republicans mad. As I added in just before you posted.
This isn't going to do anything either way, but the libs growing a spine isn't something to handwring about.
In my current inebriated state I'm now realize a better way to express what I was trying to say.
It's not that it will "enrage" or "embolden" Republicans. More that it could inspire them, for lack of a better word. It's giving them ideas, if the Libs try and do something sneaky and clever, but half ass it cuz they're Libs, the Republicans, who are all a bunch of dumbass chuckle fucks who don't have an original idea in their head, may get the idea to do the same thing but NOT half ass it. In other words, Colorado getting the bold idea to do this thing may give Texas a bright idea, which it seems it has.
