The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There’s that damn liberal bias o

This is how libs view “facts”:

1. ID a problem area (crime, in this case) that makes them look bad
2. Re-define the problem so they don’t look bad anymore
3. Declare victory

That dog don’t hunt. In fact, it sh1ts in its own bed.

Let’s cite an example! California’s Prop 47.

Cut penalties across the board for a variety of offenses. Like shoplifting. You know. Retail crime.

How’d it work out?
growsf.org: The impact of Prop 47 on crime in San Francisco

(Lots of charts and data)
Major outcomes?
Overdose deaths skyrocketed after Prop 47's passage
Shoplifting became endemic after Prop 47
Serial shoplifting is no longer a felony after Prop 47


When you vote blue, you bleed red. That’s the only fact that really and truly has a liberal bias.
