"believe these changes, made during the middle of a once-in-a-century pandemic, now threaten the timely delivery of mail — including medicines for seniors, paychecks for workers, and absentee ballots for voters."
... I'm not 100% sure from this article what shifts took place. It's quite possible to handle the increased volume of mail (and lack of funds) these changes were necessary in an attempt to prioritize her concerns.
Honestly, articles like this appear as propaganda to me.
Take my opinion as you will -- neither party represents me, so I don't feel overly supportive of one side (perhaps making me more sensitive to said propaganda).
The article has a neutral headline. It includes statements from people on both sides of the political divide - you just included one of the quotes from one of the sides.
We could argue until the cows come home about how many words the article contains that were quoted by whom, and whether the right words were quoted, and someone might feel that the article leans to the left or leans to the right.
> But if you trust Pelosi‘s sentiment, which I do, then the article doesn’t seem like propaganda
I tend not to trust any of my politicians on the onset, I need evidence. Without evidence, it's just political theater.
Even the rest of your statements, are reiterating (in my opinion) propaganda. I've listened to a massive amount of republicans and democrats. It's a game, both are trying to rile up their base.
> Eh that’s a novel, but it looks like you are definitely equivocating the two sides.
> No one candidate or party will ever represent you and your beliefs fully. You have to pick based on certain issues, identity, affinity or fear.
Kind of think you missed the point... (and didn't read what I wrote, at least in full). The point is that each of the two parties are manipulating riling people up to vote "against" someone else. That's dangerous, less effective, and will lead to the destruction of our society if continued.
I think if one steps back and considers their value system they're able to make more reasonable decisions. Truth be told, neither party represents me because both parties are looking to take away my liberty. They have to. The whole point is to "get the other side". Even the policies are inconsistent: "guns aren't safe, we shouldn't teach about firearms in schools" or "We shouldn't be forced to vaccinate because we own our bodies, but abortions should be illegal"
It's a false dichotomy. I don't have to pick which side I fall on based on certain issues, no one does. It's a choice to compromise for the "least evil". If we instead were inspired and focused on what we wanted, we'd decimate both parties and reconstitute them. I sense no one is fully happy, the deal we are making is the deal with the devil.
As Nancy Pelosi brings up the concern:
