@edgarblythe,
Actually, I think you could make a case for that. HOV lanes are far safer than the regular lanes of assholes switching constantly and endangering lives. Pregnant women? If it's HOV2, sure why not.
Quote:I am bearing down on Democrats because they and their followers hold the keys to the success or failure of our country in the immediate future. Republicans, Green Party, whatever else is practically irrelevant. The people who normally would want the Democratic Party to succeed could transform the country overnight if they would stop being subservient apologists for their politicians and their stonewalling the needs of the nation. But, they whine. What you want is pie in the sky. We don't deserve it, at least not now. By increments in distant future we may evolve to a tolerable society. Meanwhile be a drumbeater for the current state of affairs. Whatever, don't criticize Democratic leaders.
If not now there will possibly never be another chance.
I think you're pretty dismissive of the GOP and Green Party. And overly idealistic about the Democratic party. To be perfectly honest, the Democratic party consists of socialist users and useful idiots. They have caused most of the problems there. And the leaders are far worse than the rank and file. Some of the rank and file can actually be persuaded to have a conversation with a conservative. While people like AOC are either so fringe as to be irrational, or a veneer of a real person who only stands for issues because it makes them money. Even capitalists are more honest about their greed.
