Typical clickbait. Kind of the norm from him at this point.
I think the article is a great example of a media outlet selling outrage and helps to reinforce the demonization of the left. (This happens on both sides as a matter of practice it seems, but this particular one is a good example)
The title of the thread suggests the penalty for child trafficking wasn't a felony, to begin with, and that the Democrats are blocking it. In this instance, it solicited responses such as: "Party of pedos, Disgusting, and Demturds are biggest child sex groomers around.
Then if you read the article's secondary title it says: A Democrat-run committee of the California State Assembly blocked a bill Tuesday that would have made trafficking a minor a “serious felony.” The Republican bill had already passed the State Senate unanimously.
The secondary title then suggests that Democrats don't want it to be a serious felony but instead a less serious felony. But the article fails to tell the other side of the story in that the opposition to the bill is more about the idea that stiffer penalties don't deter crime but instead create a larger burden on the existing overcrowded and underfunded prison system as indicated by residues post.
My personal opinion is that we should immediately release most people who are in prison for drugs and then keep these human traffickers in there longer. I don't think we should execute them. Maybe something else more medieval.
We see all the time how some person who could be classified as a Democrat or Republican gets charged and convicted for some sex crime with a minor. I think we can all agree, that a typical person doesn't support this kind of thing.
This kind of blatant propaganda is not going to go away. I just wish people wouldn't fall for it so easily.
