I really hate that I have to give Republicans credit for killing this regardless of whatever stupid reason they’ll give for it beyond “concerns.”

    I often worry that citizens check the content and consequences of legislation before voting even less than social media users check the content and context of articles before commenting. Put a “protect the kids” title on it, and you almost get a free pass for whatever nonsense you’re pushing, regardless of how harmful it might be.

      To be fair, in the US you don’t vote on bills, you just elect representatives. The names are only there to manipulate people into agreeing so they don’t call up their representatives to complain.
