Texas Republicans have decided on a platform that includes abolishing minimum wage, cancelling climate research, banning the teaching of evolution at schools, and repealing the voting rights act, among other things, but hilariously (or depressingly) the one thing on this laundry list that people are angry about is their plan to "rehabilitate" homosexuals, a practice that many say is harmful.

    Actually, both parties are committing suicide and it's about time. We need people who have rational thought, not extremists from the right and left.

    I was unaware the US had any left politics, it's just right, and extremely ridiculously over the top right with a touch of moron.

    Oh no, we do, just don't mention the word 'socialism' or everyone gets their panties in a bunch.
