Welcome to The Belldumber. A name I came up with because it sounded dumb and definitely hasn’t been trademarked.
Ever since I got my BA in political science 5 days ago I’ve felt I should be put on a pedestal and treated as an expert. So I made this newsletter.
In this newsletter that I will post on a few times a week I’ll talk about politics (national and Ohio and whatever else I feel like), maybe some sports, and if you’re lucky nothing else. Thanks for giving it a try.
Take your religion out of politics
In today’s batshit stupid Ohio legislative news, actually from a month ago, a bill was formally proposed to classify birth control as abortions and a do a bunch of other shit. This is not only stupid but goes back to why we shouldn’t have religion at all in politics. I get that you have your own damn beliefs but stop legislating on them and affecting everyone else.
This shitty bill won’t pass but has a great list of 19 co-sponsors. Including the venerable Kris Jordan, who if you don’t know has been credibly accused of domestic violence. That’s right, the man who beats women thinks he knows better than them. Amazing!
Why do old people lose it over AOC
Anyone who’s unfortunate enough to know me has probably heard me harping on this a lot lately. But, easily the biggest generational divide in the US can be seen by how much one cares about AOC. Every time i’ve heard her name mentioned with anyone over 35 it sounds like I just casually brought up Stalin. I don’t like her or dislike her much, because she’s a freshman congresswoman she’s as important as Greg Stanton, a man you just found out existed.
Obviously the previous statement is blatantly untrue but it’s kinda funny at least. Every adult has it out for her and if anything it’s hilarious to watch their faces when she’s brought up.
I actually really enjoy that, because it leaves room for them to be at least cognizant of left-ward policy. The Green New Deal+Medicaid for all need to become mainstream to have traction, and she’s in virtually the safest of safe seats. Using her platform to piss old people off and drive us leftward should only be seen as a good thing.
Anyways
That’s enough for today have a good one.
