Ralph Abraham is “dangerous,” but somehow not the worst among those considered.

    If reliance on natural immunity worked, we wouldn’t need vaccines. Isn’t this why vaccines were invented?

      We wouldn’t need a shingles vaccine if it did.

      Let’s be real. These guys will still be getting vaccines. It’s the plebs who will not.

      New health care recommendation. Anytime you feel yourself getting sick, just tell yourself:

      Just look at the childrens’ graves in old graveyards to see how wonderfully natural immunity works.

    Aren’t vaccines a way to get your body to naturally defend against viruses?

    Their policies are destined to trim an extra 50-100k Americans off Social Security each year, mostly the poors. I can’t prove that’s the intent, but it’s likely to be the outcome regardless.
    The dead will get lost in various stats and old people are not popular nor respected, so it’ll be overlooked. I know it’s trendy to hate on the elderly but y’all need to understand you will be old yourselves soon enough and the cultural hate of the old will apply to you. You are neither different nor special. Get vaxxed, eat your veggies.

    Humanity tried that for a couple of hundred thousand years. It didn’t go so well. Then they discovered vaccines and it was a big improvement. But I guess the Republicans want to try the old way again just to make sure.

    Let him go first. This dipshit should get the measles, have the immune restart, then (if he survives) go to Christmas dinner with all the sick relatives hiding that they’re sick.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
