The only reason I knew is because the link was NOLA, and I just learned that term when I went there three weeks ago. I still have bug bites. Also, L.A. (Los Angeles) should have periods.
You clearly don't know how the government works or you wouldn't be saying both sides. The thing that bothers me most about you both sides people is how misinformed you are and then spread that shit like feathers in the wind.
What I suggest is learning and trying to understand how the government works on every level. How state governments work. How our country is composed of smaller (countries) states who all have their own ideologies and don't want to work together most of the time. And the federal government makes the big rules that everyone has to agree on following but red states are hell bent on never following anything.
You should learn about the filibuster and how that works because then you'd understand why anything but a supermajority means that no new laws can be passed. So while both parties held Congress at one point, neither can actually do anything because they don't have enough votes. Not to mention that people like manchin, sinema, gabbard, and people like that run as Dems while being Republicans so that muddies the votes even further.
And now let's discuss real voter suppression. Do you know why you say what you say? Because long before Republicans were complaining about their votes being suppressed, they were more than happy to spread misinformation, the same kind you're spreading, to get people who would vote against them to stay home. Dems used that same tactic in Georgia during the 2022 midterms and Republican voters did not turn out. It's a two way street and people are very easily fooled to vote against themselves. The real change comes when people are educated, informed, and can think critically, 3 things Republicans usually vote against.
So learn and then vote in every single election because your vote does matter, especially where you live. If you've only been caring about the presidential election and thinking the president is the most important, then you are already way below the threshold of being an informed voter. The president is the least important person in that chain.
If you want change, disenfranchising voters isn't the way to do it. Getting everyone to vote and to vote for the people you want to see govern is the way to make that happen. So you can be over here whining about lack of representation when you should be out there humping your ass to get shit done.
I want meaningful change and that means everyone votes and everyone shows up for the primaries. Because if they don't even show up to select the candidates who the fuck do you think selects the candidates. When black people showed up for Obama, you think that's what the rich wanted? No, but when the plebs of this country actually work together and show the fuck up, we do change things. The problem has always been people like you telling everyone to stay home.
The Democratic party definitely does not do enough but the two sides are not nearly as bad as one another. Anyone trying to claim otherwise is delusional or purposefully trying to drive the both sides narrative to funnel votes towards a third party.
If we had a strong enough third party or a system which allowed more parties to realistically exist (like ranked choice voting) then sure, vote third party. But we don't. Not yet. Putting the cart before the horse here will more often help the Republicans, which are a far worse party.
One is trying to shove relgion down are throats one is not. One has bn hijacked by crazies the other is got a couple of old crazies but they are not the same.
Yes it use to be that way but they no longer get along look at republican civil war between GOP and GQP.
Lots of old timers retiring and now they are left with bobo and marjorie as the leaders ROFL!
Corporations bought our elections but your actually helping them by dividing people even further.
We have to take over the Democrats and Republicans you never going to get a 3rd party nominated. They love you trying because then you will never join their club and change it from the inside.
They tried tp tun 3rd parties last 50 years and it does nkthinv!
Dude we bn having this discussion for about 20 years and the solution one side came up with is running a corporate ceo trust fund baby that thinks you need ID to buy bread.
Your not going to fix it when you have 12 congressmen that still use flip phones.
They dont have the capacity to understand the problems let alone try and fix them.
And I'm sitting here in Eastern Europe, and be like "what the fuck is wrong with you people". Sure, every country has it's problems, but child labour? And now this shit? Dude...
It's on the state level, not federal.
Iirc, the federal law only applies to federal jobs or government contracts.
So shitheels like...well...every republican, can make laws like this for their states.
One pushing children into the workforce , pushing religion down out throats , pushing freedom while taking it away and giving corporations more ways to abuse us.
That is just the tip of their fascist iceberg, right? I have several friends who can't distinguish the two. Granted that they are self-identified communists and I understand their perspectives, but I gotta vent a little here. There is a wide difference here as much as there's a difference between neo-liberals and socialists. Sigh.
> First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsored the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said he filed the bill in part because children want to work without having to take lunch breaks.
The children yearn for the mines - and to work through lunch.
GOP looking to have people work to death for their “Ruling Class”
Cradle to grave
Mhm. Maybe say Louisiana instead of LA?
I was indeed confused for a minute.
Los Angeles, Louisiana, or Lower Alabama...
Kinda think that was intentional.
Yeah I agree
The only reason I knew is because the link was NOLA, and I just learned that term when I went there three weeks ago. I still have bug bites. Also, L.A. (Los Angeles) should have periods.
I’ve been to NOLA once for a conference. Quite the time. Not a big fan personally. Great oysters though.
I’m 47 and had a blast with my wife and teenager. Reminded me of Isla Vista (UCSB) on steroids! Got my fill, don’t need to go back for a while.
“LA” is the abbreviation for Louisiana, “L.A.” is the abbreviation for Los Angeles.
Yes titles on reddit are notoriously always accurate when it comes to grammar conventions
The “nola.com” in the title should’ve been your first context clue.
Yeah on mobile it doesn’t show that on the thumbnail.
You have more patience with idiots than I do.
And I'd be willing to be they applauded themselves when doing so
Queue up that picture of the sad republican kids being surrounded by withering old demons as they talked about child labor
Ya don't really see Democrats reducing protections for children. Just saying for any 'both sides' folks passing through.

You are a fool. One is trying to destroy democracy while the other is trying to make education free. Both sides!!

And on top of all that, You're also delusional.

Yeah, they're too busy ignoring the constitution by denying an Impeachment trial.

This is current problems not the past.
And I'm sitting here in Eastern Europe, and be like "what the fuck is wrong with you people". Sure, every country has it's problems, but child labour? And now this shit? Dude...
Call it for what it is, child exploitation.
Aren't lunch breaks for underage workers mandated by federal law? Or is this being put forth at the federal level?
It's on the state level, not federal. Iirc, the federal law only applies to federal jobs or government contracts. So shitheels like...well...every republican, can make laws like this for their states.
America, world capital of hypocrisy, greed and stupidity.
America really did make that turn to 3rd world
Brazil with it's increasing petty crime.
Remember to vote in all of your local elections.
I mean if there was ever a good reason for gun ownership this shit would be it
Bleak. So so so bleak.
Tell me how there's no difference between the two parties.
One pushing children into the workforce , pushing religion down out throats , pushing freedom while taking it away and giving corporations more ways to abuse us.
That is just the tip of their fascist iceberg, right? I have several friends who can't distinguish the two.

They love getting us to divide off into separate camps and fight each other that way they are distracted. We need rank choice voting!
Yes we do!
Or approval voting
Even that would better.
Wonder if the lawmakers take breaks during their sessions, seems kinda unnecessary don't you think?
But remember guys, BOTH sides are just as bad! Vote 3rd party!

Bullshit commerade. One side is taking away lunch breaks for minors. The other isn’t.
