Why are the democrats for this? Do you know?
- michaelt 3y agoLanguage like "if deemed impaired, limit or completely prevent the vehicle from functioning" makes me think it's a drunk driving detector.
- explaininjs 3y agoDemocrats have been the party of government mandates for some time now, typically under the justification “everyone should give up some freedoms, because otherwise a few people might be harmed”. The real surprise is that AOC voted against it, along with a sole other democrat whose name escapes me. The only exception to this pattern I’m aware of is in the abortion debate, but only under the worldview that unborn children aren’t people (not the time or place to make any claims one way or another about that, just saying it how it is).
- drdaeman 3y agoSadly, they're generally in favor of nanny state approaches, where government is given control over every possible aspect of people's lives where someone or something can theoretically do something bad. Sometimes it's sensible, but sometimes it's very questionable. What truly sucks is that there is no third option.
