and yet again the dems will not hold their ground, will bow to the conservatives, and then when asked why they can’t get anything done, will complain they need more donations.
At this point I’m starting to believe that the DNC (not specific party members, but the shadow organization that’s in charge of strategy, ran by unelected administrators) has given up and might even be trying just not hard enough so they can keep up the facade that they care about the middle and lower classes.
In general I agree, but the existence of the death penalty at all is not rehab or restitution, but to cause suffering. I don’t believe in eye for an eye, but if the goal is punishment, death is only an escape from punishment, whereas keeping them alive and in jail for as long as possible is to me way more of a punishment.
