Hate lockdowns and mask mandates? Cleaner indoor air by better filtration and ventilation will make lockdowns and mask mandates less necessary in the inevitable next pandemic. #COVID
@freemo Sure, theoretically there might be a point where this is a problem but improving ventilation and current air filtration is hardly at the point where there is any conceivable risk
@freemo It would clearly be beneficial, even outside of a pandemic. For example, studies show that children learn better in schools with cleaner air. Of course we also need to prepare ahead of time to have cleaner air if we are going to be prepared for future pandemics.
Why do so many Democrats think that, as important as abortion rights are, it is ok to support Democratic warmongers who literally are responsible for killing women and children in other countries because of abortion?
@Jackiemauro After Nader Democrats campaigned quite further to the left than they are now. (Unfortunately Obama didn't govern as he campaigned, and Democrats paid a big price for that).
Stein didn't get enough votes in 2016 to really change things, especially as Trump temporarily drove voters back to the Democrats. If Stein gets 5-10 percent this year it could have major ramifications.
Trump winning would be a horrible outcome but we are getting the same horrible results under Biden right now.
@Jackiemauro Things are worse under Biden than they would probably be under Trump, primarily because Democrats go along with Biden but resist Trump.
For example, Trump would not have been able to do anywhere as much harm as Biden re allowing Covid to spread as people ignored Trump's ridiculous statements, but believe Biden when he spread misinformation...
Another example was seen this month. Biden greatly expanded warrantless mass surveillance of Americans and his pressure on Congress led to enough Democrats backing him to block an amendment to require a warrant to cause it to lose by only one vote. Trump would never had gotten such backing from Democrats to suppress civil liberties...
When you use the horrors of Bush as reason to support current Democrats keep in mind that Biden supported Bush's actions and is to the right of Bush/Cheney. Biden wrote much of the Patriot Act even before 9/11. If you opposed Bush--as you should--it makes no sense to support the far worse Biden. Today's Democrats are to the right of Bush/Cheney.
@Jackiemauro But Biden supported the same wars as Bush/Cheney. He supported the same restrictions on civil liberties as Bush/Cheney and pushed for them even before 9/11. He also pushed Reagan to the right on crime and mass incarceration.
As I said last week, Biden got enough votes to block warrant requirement by just one vote. Biden could pull in Democrats to vote for such restrictions on civil liberties. Trump could not have obtained the Democratic votes that Biden could .
@freemo@JoeQuinlan@florida_ted No, I didn't say compromise is the problem. The problem is compromising principle--supporting genocide, suppressing civil liberties, cheating in elections, Biden dropping the Covid plan he ran on and switching to Trump's.
