I never said the left doesn't use it. I said the right uses it far more. Study after study proves it.
Do a little research instead of posting meaningless anecdotal rebuttals.

The whole debate is "things are not equal".

I guess we will simply have to disagree.
I'll leave it with this analogy.
Coaches A and B are charged with recruiting DB's for their respective schools.
Coach A says, "they are all basically the same, they're fast, miss some tackles, and blow some coverages....it really makes no discernable difference who we recruit."
Coach B says, "it's all about the small differences....attitude, character, technique, coachability.....it's the small differences that separates players."

I know which team will end up with the better defensive backfield.

But if neither coach delivers on making things better there is nothing different than their rhetoric/philosophies.

Enter Republicans and Democrats, nothing ever changes.

It's not that way right now. All of them are very pro-Israel, Bari Weiss runs CBS, Bezos runs the Post, NYT really wanted Zohran to lose, ABC paid off Trump etc.

Maybe it’s changed some, I’d say for the majority of my 40+ years it’s been a pretty common thought that most major Broadcast News Corps were left leaning. NBC has always had that stigma, which has been reinforced w/ MSNBC, although their late night talk shows were usually middle of the road (other than Seth Myers), CBS had Dan Rather for a long time and recently Colbert has obviously had his formula for success. ABC did pay off Trump for the Stephanopolous defamation suit, Kimmel is his own story, but I would say of all of them they’ve been more center. I would believe that the right has more social media propaganda and grassroots sort of messages that grew over time bc they felt that the broader message was always just what people accepted as the mainstream media .

Simply not even remotely true.
My son in law just got 8 weeks of paid paternity leave. I got 2 days.
My daughter got 6 months of paid maternity leave. My wife had to use accumulated sick days and then go leave without pay until she returned.

I call that a huge and significant change.

I call that free market doing its job. Republicans aren't against this. They are against a federal mandate. That mandate doesn't exist and your son got to use it. Because of the market. Why are you giving the feds the credit over the free market? Weird

Clinton's Family Leave Act started that ball rolling and European countries being so far ahead added the necessary momentum.

List the differences in policy and demonstrate how that policy sets itself apart and makes a difference for people?

If there were actual differences in actionable policy this should be very easy.

There is no difference in party, only rhetoric.......Everything you just listed there is forms of political rhetoric.

The fact is companies realized providing paid leave was smart in recruiting workers. I know it hurts you to admit it. The market is why this is happening. Not the government.

Nope.
Child labor
40 hour weeks
paid vacation
sick days
minimum wages
mandated breaks



More Republican-led states are giving paid parental leave to public school teachers and other state employees, signaling a broader acceptance of family-friendly workplace policies once championed primarily by Democrats.

I was thinking maybe you did..


Republicans are taking a renewed interest in paid family leave — traditionally a Democratic priority — in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.
Why it matters: Republicans urgently want to establish themselves as pro-woman and pro-family, as critics accuse the party of caring about children only before they're born.




The big picture: The U.S. is one of only six countries that doesn't guarantee paid leave to new mothers. And of the states that have banned abortion in the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling, none have a leave policy.

With Alvin Bragg’s re-election under a Mayor Mamdani, ‘justice’ in NYC is about to get worse​


While Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has gotten the lion’s share of the media attention these last several weeks, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg quietly sailed through his reelection bid, securing more than 70% of the vote.

Bragg’s win reflects a bucking of what some might have been tempted to call a national trend of so-called “progressive” prosecutors around the country being made to suffer the electoral consequences of going soft on crime.

Zohran Mamdani’s DSA Allies are Flexing Power In Albany — and no corner of the state is safe​


1762401891112.png
Zohran Mamdani’s win Tuesday sends tremors far beyond New York City: From Buffalo to Amagansett, no corner of the Empire State will be spared the damage.

The victory gives a huge political boost to his Democratic Socialists of America comrades embedded in New York’s state Senate and Assembly.

They are already poised to ignite wholesale legislative attacks on property owners, charter schools, law enforcement and businesses statewide.

In New York, the big decisions about criminal law, education, rent laws and taxation are legislated at the state level, not locally.

New Yorkers, brace yourselves for crazy laws and huge tax hikes with Mamdani and the DSA calling the shots in both Albany and City Hall.

Mamdani, a member of the state Assembly until he is sworn in as mayor, gathered endorsements from the state’s top legislative leaders and sizable blocs of 27 Assembly members and 16 state senators in the run-up to Election Day.

His conquest Tuesday elevates him to national stature — and sets him up as the de facto head of the state’s Democratic Party, with far more sway than Gov. Kathy Hochul.

Do you really?

I got no time off. Even if I did, all these years later (my daughter is in college now, studying to be a teacher) I'm worse of than I was when she was 3, because of Obama, because of Trump, because of Biden...... And Trump again, and those that came before............ Nothing has really changed except in your partisan mind because Democrats have to be better right?


Same effing turd sandwich I've been fed since the nineties at least. I see it for what it is. Pretend one turd stinks less than the other......... It's still an effing turd.
