Because it's oh-so-easy to just chase off and replace 120 principals. I mean, unless you plan to replace them with incompetent lackeys. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4a_hc0IanP/?igsh=MWZ1azZ3bHMybHJ2dg==
I'm a teacher. While I'd love to have perfect parents sending their perfect kids every day, that isn't the reality. It's also something that I, you, and our state government have zero control over. There is literally nothing anyone can do to solve that problem. I'm not sure why you bother bringing it up. It just sidetracks. What we do have control over is our state's political approach to education. We control who makes decisions, and we control what they prioritize. One side of that political argument has chosen to sabotage education. I'm honestly not sure why you're both-siding this on something as inconsequential as a message board, but it is pretty frustrating.
I know we're on the same side of this fight, but don't accuse the Dems of dropping the ball regarding messaging. You're falling into the both sides suck trap. There's plenty of compelling messaging from the Dems, it's just falling on deaf ears. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0fTfUYNiTK/?igsh=MTlsOXprdHN1MnN1cQ==
And they got primaried for it. I hope what you are saying will happen happens, but nothing so far has made me believe it can. Those rural voters had a choice on Tuesday and they chose to move farther right. Back to my original point, Britt's response to SOTU was made with the sole purpose of telling them they made the right choice.
Based on the primaries (in Texas especially) and the immigration bill that got squashed, I'm guessing they don't feel the need to gain more seats, just push the seats they already have more to the right.
Here's the thing about Britt... it went exactly as they planned it. The parodies, the mocking libs, even the shocked right-wing pundits... none of that matters. Her job was never to convince Americans that Biden was wrong, or that the GOP is right. Her job was simply to reinforce what MAGA Republicans already believe. She did that. The scared white woman... check. The shaky voice... check. Being in the kitchen like a good traditional wife... check. Telling a story that's bullshit... who cares? Think what you want, but she did what they wanted her to do.
Putting this here, but the point could also be made in the education thread... or the mass shooting thread. Male teacher at Hebron wears dress... gets suspended, but is found to have not violated any policy. Resigns following death threats. Thus juxtaposed to the Uvalde police having zero accountability for their inaction explains exactly where we are when it comes to treatment of LGBTQ, teachers, and police. https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/hebron-teacher-on-leave-for-wearing-pink-dress-resigns-18803426
Latino friend from HS complaining about being stopped and harassed by local law enforcement in the panhandle. Told him he needed to be out of town before the sun was down. I asked him how he thought that deputy votes. His response: "Probably the same way I do."
I'm imagining is going to be the doctors, and more importantly, the IVF industry that gets this done. We're taking about a billion dollar industry, no way that gets shut down because some fundamentalists can't grasp unintended consequences.
It's what changed my voting perspective. I never paid that much attention to politics (never watched talking-head news) so I always voted with the "less government" crowd. But watching the Obama years play out on social media, and seeing the bullshit spewing from the people that did watch Fox News made me realize how much I had played into that bullshit.
