  • Don’t you feel so much more Freedom™ now that your state government can decide whether or not a pregnant person get healthcare, instead of just leaving it up to her and her doctor? We need to stop the tyranny of the Federal government just deciding carte blanche that any two consenting adults can get married and let communities decide whether to allow miscegenation or if your local community prefers to put a bounty on the heads of mulattos and quadroons. /s





  • a candidate should work to appeal to 100% of their voter base

    Less a proposal and more of a fact: People won’t vote for a candidate who does not support the issues that they support. You can’t expect a voter who is against fracking to vote for a candidate who supports fracking.

    If Kamala supports fracking and the majority of voters do not, it is up to her to change, not the voters.

    i consider this a voter skill issue

    Yeah… Democrats want to blame the voters so they can continue to court wealthy donors. If everyone in Michigan promises to “Vote Blue No Matter Who” then they can continue arming Israel without losing any Muslim votes. Unfortunately that’s not how things work.




  • i mean that’s a fair statement, but she wouldn’t be running on fracking if she thought it was detrimental, so it’s either not a huge concern for most voters, or there is something more than being let on in the rhetoric here.

    You’re begging the question here. If Democrats paid attention to their voters we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Generally, critics of Dem strategy believe that they are too beholden to wealthy donors.

    Democrats blame Jill Stein for Clinton’s loss. But Dems can’t force her not to run again, or people not to vote for her. If Kamala doesn’t win, it will be because she didn’t convince enough people to vote for her, not because Jill Stein is running.


  • Thank you for your reply. I don’t think we disagree that much, but I’m afraid we may be miscommunicating a bit.

    What determines “biological sex”?

    Chromosomes? Except someone with Androgen Insensitivity may have XY chromosomes, but physically appear to be female.

    Genitalia? But we have intersex people with ambiguous genitalia

    Testosterone? Caster Semanya

    Full disclosure: this seems more your field than mine. I don’t think I’m educating you, just trying to clarify my point. It seems like you’re arguing against “There’s no such thing as assigned gender at birth”. What I’m saying that there is no objective way to categorize all humans into neat little sex boxes. Biological sex is a spectrum with most people either at the “male” point or the “female” point, but some examples everywhere in between.
