#Bipartisanship: Parties working in healthy party politics are centripetal & encourage factions and interests to come together to work for common good.
THREAD:
Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?"
Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:
The party of “small government” in Florida has:
-attacked trans people 🏳️⚧️
-assaulted the right to protest
-passed a law forcing students & professors to register political views w/ the state.
-raised taxes
-redid election law.
Sounds hella autocratic and big government to me.
In her dissent to the decision that gutted the Voting Rights Act, Ruth Bader Ginsburg said eliminating preclearance is like “throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.”
She was right then, and we have to fix it now.
If you have good ideas, then you want as many people as possible to #vote so you'll have a stronger mandate for enacting your policies after you win.
If your strategy is voter suppression, then you've already conceded the battle of ideas.
