    If ideological :zizek: articles are what it takes to remove the stress on hospitals and get these fuckers vaccinated, then so be it. That being said, how much you wanna bet this only got published because somene at Brietbart was personally affected by the failing medical system?

      True. The second hand affects of this on others is horrible.

      I think that somebody higher up in the Republican Party told them. The higher-ups probably realize that not only letting their base die, but actively encouraging them to is not a good long-term political strategy.

        The virus is harder on the elderly, and now it's tearing through red parts of swing states. That's their bread and butter voters now. They might actually fuck themselves out of Florida at this point, and probably make their job harder in the house for swing districts.

            Lmao right? Dems will sink all their time and energy into trying to publicly shame Republicans into "Non-partisan redistricting committees," but you can't shame the shameless.

            Dem: :bottom-speak: "Pwease Mr. Elephant, can't we have some equitable voting measures? Don't you want twuth, democwacy, and justice?"

            Rep: "... :bugs-no:"

            Dem: "Well we tried nothing and we're all out of ideas :shrug-outta-hecks:"

            My guess though is it just results in more corporatist democrats in office and #nothingwillfundamentallychange :biden-troll:
