this is why i don’t want to hear people crying and yapping about “DEI” and “identity politics” when 1 it’s obvious they don’t truly understand what those terms mean, and two just scroll through this comment section to find the same tired misogynoir ass takes calling Michele a man because they immediately masculinize black women and lack the gray brain matter to realize they are stupid pieces of shit 💀
I ain’t reading all of that… but what i did read was evidence that both the democratic and republican party have proved over and over again that they only maintain the decline of the status quo. it’s time to replace every member of congress and presidential cabinet (they’re all bought or blackmailed by israel)
You’re not even qualified to run as president. You don’t have what it takes you’re all about finding excuses because of your race. Your husband had the perfect opera opportunity to be the best black president, but he decided to divide the country instead it’s not that we’re not ready for a woman president. The ones that are looking to run do not have what it takes to run a country they all have an agenda and I’m not falling for it.
That sounds like bullshit. Hillary, a woman last I checked, won the popular vote. Barack, black, won twice. So that’s bullshit just based on math. Only thing you can argue is the gap from 2020-2024 of 5+ million voters that apparently decided not to vote in 2024. Kamala raised record money for her campaign. She’s talking bullshit. So many woman governors, mayors, senators, and reps, and judges.
There is war and then there are war criminals. Unlike the man who took out one of the world’s most dangerous terrorists, your inexperienced and poorly educated man-child is bombing Venezuelan fishing boats filled with innocent men on the pretext that there are drugs there- even after saying they can’t prove it.
I literally said Trump is bad. I don’t support that fascist piece of shit and I don’t appreciate the implication that I do. However Obama actively was complicit in the bombing of children and thousands of innocent people. As WELL as locking immigrants in fucking cages. Again just because ONE PERSON IS BAD doesn’t mean another CANNOT BE CRITICIZED. It’s this blind support and trust in the Democratic Party is why we’re in this situation in the first place. We need new faces that want real change
I’m not in disagreement in that, it just feels odd to bring up someone who was president 3 terms ago and is unable to ever serve again. Every president in one way or another is culpable for what happens during war, and more often than not, people die. I also am not a fan of his immigration policies, but those were voted and agreed upon. Unlike Trump, he didn’t start directing them towards American citizens through direct and blatant prejudice.
I’m bringing him up because people are thrilled at the idea of his wife being president. His wife is an extension of himself and would change nothing about what’s wrong for America. We need to fight for freedom, from escape from the oligarchy, and getting out under the thumb of AIPAC and other billion and maybe even trillion dollar corp that have bought damn near every person in every one of our branches of governments. And yes, Obamas immigration policies were better, but still not good.
Maybe comparably to Trump they’re thrilled, but personally I am not excited to have another person in office elected through feelings rather than pragmatism. Similar to your sentiment, there are much bigger problems to deal with than not having a female president. If she’s qualified, great, if not then move on.
I agree, I think it’s long overdue for us to have a female president. I think a woman would go a long way into probably dismantling the misogyny that a lot of people have in regard to women within positions of authority. However, like you said, we need someone who’s ready to fight for the people instead of being the DNC favored pick. We single-handedly saw how people flocked together for Zohran. People like him are what we need to see.
Whenever a capable enough candidate comes along. You think bc 2 women have ran and lost that it is somehow sexist. Men lose every time as well….. has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with faith in their ability to do the job. There are many women I’d vote for, Michelle Obama, AOC, and Kamala Harris aren’t on the list.
That’s a giant load of bullshit. There are only two sexes. Gender exists on a spectrum as far as levels of each but masculine and feminine are the only two of those. Anything beyond that is people looking for attention and being so boring they have to change definitions and create words and dictate speech in order to make other people think they’re interesting so that they can feel value from a desired outside source. Aka bullshit.
Anyone with half a brain and basic research skills would have known that his tariffs would end up making everything more expensive, yet you’re talking about all these things he’s campaigned that haven’t gone into effect yet because these stupid Americans took the word of one of the most obvious liars in the world, like that man has a whole track record for being a fucking liar and don’t even get me started on the LITERAL PEDOPHILIA AND THAT HE IS A CONVICTED FELON!!!
Well that’s just stupid. He’s certainly delivered on immigration. Tariffs don’t seem to be hurting many if any and that money is being used to pay down deficit. These things don’t change for the better over night and sometimes the road to prosperity is a little bumpy at first. I’m quite pleased with him this far. Best we’ve had since Reagan. Maybe since Kennedy.
And gender is only a construct. It’s what you make of it, and gender expression shifts with the passage of time. Things like short shorts only used to be reserved for men, because it was considered too “scandalous” for women to show their legs. Nowadays anybody can look like anything and wear anything. It bothers you? Try not to be such a crybaby
Yeah. I was just fucking with your semantics. But the truth of the matter is you’re right. If Obama had not been such a fuck up and if the Bushes hadn’t been such fuck ups and if the Clintons hadn’t been so evil, a Donald Trump presidency would not have been necessary. So yes, the Obamas did play a part in that.
Biology and nature created male and female. HUMANS created masculinity and femininity. Before civilization, outside of birth, we were all doing the same shit. Do you see female animals dressing in pink and staying home to cook and clean? Nah, they’ll fuck up a hostile animal in the same way the male would. Sure they have dynamics (which change with each species), but none are more masculine than the other. That shits just made up so insecure bitches have something to cling to for identity.
They don’t actually believe it, because they don’t have the knowledge or understanding to actually have a firm stance on it. It’s just slander that they’re willing to peddle, because it’s harder to give a valid reason why they prefer a pedophile that bankrupts everything he touches over a black woman without making it racist or sexist. Just low class citizens doing their thing as always.
Ok so like while it’s obviously fake news that Obama isn’t a citizen or that his wife isn’t a woman, calling these people hillbillies is exactly what’s wrong with liberals. That exact elitism is what loses you voters—especially the independents and the disengaged. Like ewwww, who would wanna get up and take the time out of their day to wait in line just to vote for a party that represents elitist aholes
Am I wrong? It’s a demographic filled with people who mock education and work manual labor. Although everyone has their values, what point is there in being a part of a human society if your preference is to live alone and be stupid? It’s easier to go and live in the woods than participate in something you have very little understanding of. I’m a huge believer that voting should come with merit and education requirements.
You’re so convinced that higher education is the be all end all you can’t see anything outside of your narrow world view. That’s the problem right there. Education isn’t what people have an issue with. It’s liberal minded education as being the only acceptable form. Further, there are plenty of people with no higher education than less than high school who are very smart and doing quite well for themselves. Try again.
Just say what you actually wanna say which is that it’s totally okay with you to perpetrate a genocide, to be the deporter in chief with the most deportations executed, to commit war crimes, etc. as long as you’re Black or some other minority or part of the LGBTQIAP+ or a woman or fill in the blank
What’s wrong with me is that people are willing to take a useless fucking idiot with absolutely zero merits over a man who has objectively made America better. Some drunk out there is actually thinking Trump has done ANYTHING beneficial for America. The only thing these dipshits can say is that he got rid of immigrants- like… okay? And what did that do for America compared to 11 months ago? But yes, let’s keep talking about a man who hasn’t been president for over 10 years and can’t serve.
See, there’s massive irony in talking about a narrow world view and refusing to be educated. Without education, the only thing you have is a narrow world view because you simply aren’t exposed to anything else. It’s not feelings, it’s a fact that you don’t know what you don’t know. For people to float the idea that somehow experts over hundreds of years are wrong, is fucking ridiculous. I gave up though, because in 2025 they’re more willing to give their children measles than open a fucking book
Instead of judging these people, ask why they’re like this. Many of them are from areas where access to adequate health care is subpar to what it is in NY, leading to a massive distrust of doctors. Also if they don’t have access to private insurance, their pool of doctors to pick from his even slimmer. Medical trauma can lead to people distrusting doctors and professional medical advice. ESP if they are surrounded by media (Fox News) that actively tells them to be afraid of everything.
The laws regarding equality and human rights were cool. Although not federally legal, hemp has done amazing things for the paper industry and the sale of THC goods has increased the flow of money. Gay rights gave gay people more peace of mind, even if some inbred wants to attack them. Immigration is still as bad as it was, but we didn’t target American citizens for speaking Spanish back then and lock them up without due process. Back then, we worried about Obama’s suit, not Trump’s pedophilia.
There’s no argument to be had with people who refuse to learn though. If you refuse to get an education and refuse to participate in society, and only listen to one source of news, who is going to be the one to change their perspective? No one, and it’s always going to be like that. They can’t even visualize it because they’re too busy thinking they know everything and are correct too.
Like there are so many reasons as to why so many people in this country are “uneducated”. It’s not a personal failing. It’s about propaganda, systematic blockages to education, socioeconomic class being a key factor to the kinds of public and private education people have access to, a lack of access to fresh produce and healthy food (which create a population of people who have brain fog), and people who have to choose between paying their bills and feeding their children.
That’s the exact libtard brain rot yall were fed in 2016 and 2024 which cost you the elections. Like do yall not remember the way Obama screwed working ppl over in 2008 or how Bidenomics was the scam Kamala ran defending? Like yeah there were some racists but they weren’t enough to make a difference, the ones who made the difference were the poor Americans who were betrayed
I don’t know, man. In a time where we can read anything at a tap of a button, I think this is where Internet literacy comes in. I agree, there’s a lot of propaganda and different education systems that vary by state, as well as algorithms skewing data to fit one’s beliefs, but anyone aware of that should be willing to inform themselves in other ways. They don’t have to get a formal degree, but for someone to refer to themselves as educated because they listen to podcasts in the shower is silly.
I completely agree with you. The education is important, I come from a very educated family, and I love learning myself. Most of my family members have a similar opinion on the “uneducated“ people in this country, but when you take a step back and stop to think about What their day-to-day lives are like, or listen to interviews of ex neo Nazis who’ve grown from their ways, or from people who are in cults, or people who genuinely believe Fox News, there’s a correlation.
I’m glad you didn’t continue to pretend you were objective, because it was so obvious to everyone here. How are you still continuing to fear monger a woman who hasn’t hurt our country, while we’re at the brink of economic collapse and civil war because of the work of one man? Then you pretend you care about screwing over working people as YOU cost millions of Americans their jobs, muttering “DEI” and “real federal workers” as if you understand anything that goes on in government.
I completely agree with you, it is easier now than ever to have access to all sorts of information. But if what you hear from the news and from your community is nothing but verification of the “other side”, why would they take the time to learn about anything other than what is right in front of them. Additionally, many of these people are in survival mode. There’s a fantastic book called the anatomy of peace, which talks about how a lot of people with trauma will look at those around them -
With a black-and-white mindset, seeing others is all good or all bad. These people don’t see others as people. They see them as monsters, animals, or obstacles to overcome. Now I think about how our current political parties in the media portray the people on the other sides. As idiots, as detached from reality, as hateful and judgmental. Think about the things that Fox News says about socialists, left leaning college kids at protests, planned parenthood, etc. if you have people who are already-
Clearly your ignorant mind can’t process someone who is capable of independent and critical thinking. She may not have been POTUS but she sure had his ear and at the very least comes from the same school of thought. The same one that got us the Orangutan currently in the WH you and I both loathe. Don’t even pretend to care about working ppl when you just as equally despise them, calling them stupid hillbillies if they weren’t born elitist aholes like you.
- woefully aware of how horrid their lives are, having a scape goat makes it just slightly easier to cope with the terror of their own lives. I know I’ve been guilty of vilifying the right, or viewing people as “dumb hicks” because of the own bias from my own political party, assuming that all folks from the south or from religious backgrounds hated me for my sexuality or fashion sense before even getting to know them. We’re all biased. But it comes down to choosing to meet each person as an -
-individual, and choose empathy over judgment, in a day and age where the government is stronger than more that they are able to divide us. I completely agree with you. The education is important however, there are real reasons as to why people don’t have access to the knowledge that they should. It is up to us to make little impact on those around us, and in our communities in the best ways possible. To focus on what we can do, instead of everything around us that is falling apart.
Again, your tiny brain can’t even process the fact that someone would loathe ppl like your Supreme Leader Kamala other than for the fact that she’s Black and a woman. Ppl despise her because she’s a neoliberal. And I am proud to have voted for a woman in 24 that wasn’t her. And clearly Obama was elected in 2008 but I suppose you just willfully forget how he handled the 2008 financial crisis/Great Recession
I don’t blame you for loosing patience. I was like that for a while too. But talking to the counter protesters who would come to the ralleys in the city, and I realized that they were actually just scared. Then I stared doing some research onto the kinds of media that they consumed (like Fox News and different Reddit forums that encourage conspirator theories about the left) and began to see a common thread. I don’t blame you for choosing not to empathize with them, but part of the reason that -
The difference between the two of us is that you think this is a “supreme leader” competition where we’re both fans of a football team. I don’t give a shit if they’re Republican or Democrat, I care if they will make America better. Good luck participating in politics if your arguments boil down to “this guy wasn’t perfect, so he’s worse than a pedophile who sunk us into debt and war”.
The thing is, I don’t even hate MAGA outright. I have friends and family who are MAGA, and as a moderate there’s a lot of things I agree with when it comes to Republican viewpoints. That said, I struggle to hold my tongue when people start throwing baseless claims like they’re gospel and then double down on them rather than listen to the person they’re talking at. I could and should be better though.
It’s clear that this is all a football game with a supreme leader you’re willing to d*e for, whereas I’m just stating the obvious. I’m not saying that having an Orangutan in office is better than having a corrupt neoliberal, but what I am saying is that choosing ignorance/refusing to understand legitimate reasons for ppl refusing Kamala and despising the Obamas is exactly what will continue producing more pedos who sink us into more debt and more war (bc it’s not like Dems don’t do it either)
People can refuse both, which is fine, but if someone has the option to choose the lesser evil and doesn’t, I’m going to place the blame on them. Kamala was nowhere near my first choice, but Trump faced felonies he would’ve been convicted on if it wasn’t for the presidential race. I have zero sympathy or respect for people who prefer a career criminal over what you view is “a corrupt neoliberal”. Especially in America, where liberalism aligns with right wing ideologies on an international scale.
Here’s the thing tho. This f*cked up dichotomy only works the way you want it to when the candidates actually do their “job” as politicians and get them out to vote. Kamala failed miserably at that because she felt entitled to those votes. I fear you forget that a good number of Americans actually sat out the last election. I could see this from a mile away when I was researching the Trump campaign’s extensive efforts, many of which were sus but still effective.
And for the people that voted for the career criminal, what makes you think that the crimes perpetrated by the other side didn’t outweigh the crimes perpetrated by the Orangutan. At the end of the day ppl wanted to feel/know they would be taken care of. Period. The Trump campaign lied successfully to win, which is frustrating. But you can’t blame voters for believing him after BidenHarris lied to them too and they remembered the last 4yrs with them so strongly that they forgot about Trump 1.0.
If that’s your strategy, yall are clearly too burried in your libtard brain rot to forget that the manosphere and the groypers and their like are coming into voting age. Y’all need to find a way to get these young boys off those cesspools soon if there’s any chance for there to be a female POTUS even in the next decade
How is being a vice president, senator, district attorney, and attorney general unqualified? What more qualifications do you want from someone her age? She’s not ancient. she has a law degree and years of experience in government. The double standard we have for men and women to be president is crazy.
i think it’s perfectly reasonable to judge individuals that voted for the reason that so many american are suffering right now. i don’t need to ask “why theyre like this”, it’s because they believe in the zero sum game and are extremely prejudice. sorry not sorry but you’re not going to make others empathetic about their struggles do healthcare when they voted for the guy and party that actively wants/is making healthcare more inaccessible and expensive just so the rich can benefit and exploit
so may people on the right also resist listening to the left just because they are brainwashed and in a cult with a hive like mind. yeah unfortunately sometimes you have to talk down to the people that think it’s acceptable to slash the DOE because they think education period is a liberal ideology and indoctrination.
Dude. Go look at America’s standing in the world regarding education before Carter created the DOE and then after. Also, Members of both parties are brainwashed. There is no arguing anything to the contrary. The problem is the left thinks you’re evil if you think differently than them. The right just thinks you’re misinformed.
i’m not sure if you’re aware of this but cats and dogs can’t speak honey so they don’t try to convince you of anything 💀 and clearly you don’t understand the distinction between species and sex.. humans are in a unique position where due to our ability for complex thought and speech, we can socially construct everything really. do you think the first humans had the word woman and man tattooed on their bodies as a distinction?
lol. You’re a clown. No. Men and women looked down and saw their parts were different. Then, because of the same ingredients that made those part different, they also discovered they were different inside too. And they were ok with that bc they weren’t whiny li’l bitches AND the differences complemented each other in order to survive and thrive. Of course roles are not bound by any law and again THERE ARE ONLY TWO. Sweetie.
Wrong. Women were initially kept in the home because the work was laborious and men were physically stronger. Beyond that, women were more nurturing and loving and being at home with the kids made more sense. That’s the reason women today are more likely to get custody. Get off the political bullshit and think about things. I’ve already said you don’t have to abide by typical roles. But doing so DOESN’T MAKE YOU THE OTHER. And there can only be the OTHER because there are ONLY TWO.
*sigh* “they also discovered they were different inside too.” Intersex people, as well as people whose gender identities didn’t align with their biological sex, have too existed since the beginning of time, in every generation, and every culture. Their experiences are just as constant as those of cis individuals, only difference is their voices were silenced by temper tantrum crybaby normies like you. Intersex babies were instructed to be hidden by doctors
and hm “because of the same ingredients that made those part different” so i’m sure you think women with PCOS or just women who are sterile and don’t have “the ingredients” are women anymore. women who go through menopause must stop becoming women too huh? and i’m just curious where do hermaphrodites fit within your neat little world view? i know that’s a big word for elmo though
we have a bio-essentialist here that resorts to unfounded claims what a surprise. please show us all the studies that prove “women were more nuturing” hey sweetie pie i think maybe if you picked up a book or read any peer reviewed text, like the feminine mystique for instance (great read!), then maybe you’d understand that women were/are socialized into believing their purpose in life is to become mothers and be nurturing. funny how socialization works huh?
Never said that. People that actually suffer from gender dysphoria have my utmost empathy. But they are also not the ones demanding language be changed and infinite pronouns and leaving the house in a full beard and a dress. People with actual gender dysphoria want to pass as what they think they are. Regardless, the answer is not surgery but rather therapy. It is a mental disorder, not unlike anorexia.
lol. “Biology and survival dictated certain things in the past. As we evolved and the world changed we came up with arguments to show why natural instincts are oppressive and we got people to write books to claim the same thing and now we must promulgate how clever we are because if we’re wrong we wouldn’t be able to handle it.” Clowns.
Everything you just listed about women and men are stereotype-perpetuated myths— the same exact myths that people continue to discredit every day. People were angry and unhappy with the imaginary “roles” established then, which is why there’s been so much pushback for centuries. It’s why Marie Curie wasn’t awarded a noble peace prize for her discoveries, only her husband. It’s why 17-year old Jackie Mitchell was erased from history, despite having a pitch that struck out Lou Gehrig
oh can you find a credible source that purports your claim that “biology tells you this”? i know you might not be aware but in biology hermaphroditism and intersexuality is a well documented thing, but what would a person that’s worked in labs know.. also yeah we can thank men for being too delicate to follow through with the logical choice of making birth control for men.. since yknow men can impregnate numerous people in a day and birthing people can only get pregnant once within ~9 months.
Nowadays I can open instagram on any random day and see a woman lifted squatting 500 like it’s nothing. Women have the capacity to build a shit ton of muscle and be strong enough to get work done— the only thing ever setting them back was a lack of training resources and a surplus of media telling them they needed to be smaller
or maybe we should thank men for the fact that hormonal birth control has been shown to have adverse long term effects on women and their reproductive health? oh oh i know, we should definitely thank men for the barbaric nature of the entire field of gynecology, since yknow they decided to torture an enslaved black woman with no anesthesia.. try thinking for more than 2 seconds for once in your life sweetheart
What I’m saying is that she makes it seem like the problem is the voters. You aren’t gonna get people to vote for you by insulting them. And she doesn’t get that and neither do the democratic leadership. I have no problem with a black women as president. But you need different rhetoric. I don’t care about what people said about them. That’s politics and we have freedom of speech. You need to be thick skinned. In terms of numbers and turnout, Kamala had money what she didn’t have was time .
it’s ironic really because if you could tell me exactly what you think i haven’t refuted i’d be happy to explain it to you. i don’t need to make comments to feel intellectually superior to you, i think anyone with a functioning prefrontal cortex that reads your comments would feel intellectually superior to you
also to quote you “Men and women looked down and saw their parts are different” notice how you never specify genitalia but now have to backtrack because what you said doesn’t make logical sense 💀 but sure let me humor you, most genital organs: ovaries, fallopian tubes, the uterus, and the prostate are not visible from the outside.. this is common sense i fear
and since you’re the arbiter of sex, what sex are individuals that have formed testes and a penis but internally have female reproductive organs? what sex are individuals with several sets of external genitalia, like people who are studied and know to exist with a vagina and a penis. please enlighten us which of the two categories do they fall into? since they look down and see they’re different from both females and males notice how you fail to acknowledge any nuance, but i’m the one crying
it’s also amusing because the only “whiny little bitch” as you’d call it, here seems to be.. you. unable to accept that your limited world view has not only been repeatedly proven to be false, but also you seem unreasonably aggressive and obsessed with other people’s genitals and lived experiences. it’s almost like you’re compensating for something.. but no go on honey i know you have a lot of big feelings about sex and gender, if a tantrum is how to process things power to you :)
Several sets of external genitalia? How many? Like two penises and a vulva? Hmmm. That’s new. Terrible. Of course, those are freak mutation occurrences and don’t dictate normalcy among people born with perfectly consistent external/internal genitalia that swear they’re the other. You tirade was was “look at what I know and then ignore that I can’t critically think about it and form a substantive argument regarding it.” Sit down.
hun i know it’s difficult for you to keep up, we were talking about the earliest humans. who didn’t even have a word for ‘penis’ ‘testicles’ or ‘vagina’ or ‘uterus’, because i was making the point that these essentialist terms and concepts you keep falling back to were constructed.. socially. but it seems like that is your first thought when you look at a penis since you seem utterly concerned with gender dysphoria and trans people, so i don’t know why you’re acting like that’s absurd 🙂
#42 wants out of the convo because they’re all out of arguments. “Wah, I’m obsessed with chromosomes, wah, there’s women who don’t act like women, wah there’s men who don’t act like men, wah, there’s people who exist who don’t neatly fit into the only two boxes my tiny brain can comprehend wah😭” what a crybaby
It’s just a discussion and I’m standing as strong as you are. You don’t like that I’m doing that and not agreeing so you have to cast aspersions about why I’m really upset about it. Bless your heart. You know nothing about my worldview - again, reaching. You should take a seat as well. Ssshhh.
“i’m standing as strong as you are” baby girl look at how many downvotes and comments you’re getting refuting everything you say, and you want to call trans people delusional sheesh 💀 what i don’t like is uneducated individuals spreading misinformation and thinking that no one is going to call them out on it. how can i possibly know nothing about your worldview when your spouting your dull opinions for everyone to see and critique? you’re not as deep as you think you are.
oh look who now wants to be pedantic about word choice when they clearly didn’t think out any of their comments before posting them 💀 but sure let’s humor you sweetie! i’m going to ask you to do something that is probably unfamiliar to you, but stay with me now. actually let’s research a topic before you speak on it! look up the percentage of the world population that’s intersex.
don’t take my word for it, but they make up about ~1.7% of the population. which might seem like a small number but let’s put that into context. gingers make up 1-2% percent of the population, because of you didn’t know red hair is a genetic mutation! but now by your logic because redheads are a “freak mutation of occurrences” in your words, then surely we shouldn’t consider red hair as one of the natural hair colors? because they what was it you said “don’t dictate normalcy”
it’s funny that you’re critiquing my inability to “think critically” but i am using not only what i know, but things i’ve read from actual experts within papers and peer reviewed studies to base off stances. here’s an official definition of critical thinking: “the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment.” hm seems like i have been doing that, while you.. haven’t :)
also not to point out the obvious but you’re essentially claiming that anyone that doesn’t have perfectly consistent external/internal genitalia isn’t a woman/man and i hate to repeat myself so i’ll just direct you back to my previous comments where i listed several examples of cisgender people that wouldn’t fit within that cute little box you’re trying to put all of humanity in. but no i’m curious, what or who “dictates normalcy” around sex and gender? you’re so close to the point sweetie.
First off, your president as well. There is proven wide spread fraud in many of our governmental organizations. It needs to be handled, the future of our country depends on us not being indebted to foreign countries. Right now, the majority owner of US debt is the Cayman Islands…I’m not comparing Obama to Trump, but what matters most is the best for this country. I don’t think the way he’s going about it is the best way, but something does need to be done to highlight where the country is going
i’m not quite sure what this was meant to prove, at first i was hopeful with the use of quotations that you were actually citing a source and using the authors last name as a intext citation but my mistake for thinking you capable of such a thing. “as we evolved we came up with arguments to show why natural things are oppressive” well yes that’s actually what you’re doing, trying to argue a natural thing like transness and intersexuality are oppressive
i honestly can’t stop laughing at this really because there’s so many levels to the ignorance here. white skin is a genetic mutation, blue eyes are genetic mutations, albinos are genetic mutations, sickle cell is a genetic mutation. but do you know what the distinction between all of these things are? you don’t use inflammatory language like “freak mutation” and claim that these genetic mutations make those groups of people less valid and less human for existing as how they are born
what cat got your tongue? seems like you aren’t using objective analysis to form your judgements, remind me who’s incapable of critically thinking again? telling me to sit down when i have time and time again shown that i know more about this topic than you, which YOU even acknowledge, but you’re being quite emotional. i thought you said men are stronger and tougher and more logical, but you’re living evidence of the contrary but let me know when you want to talk stats instead of hiding
“that doesn’t have anything to do with gender” and then proceeds to describe that gender is socially constructed. Quick question who do you think invented the term ‘gender’? If you name any person congrats you’re referring to an individual that existed in a society that categorized people as a ‘man’ or ‘woman’ based on heteronormative ideas of what’s acceptable for a man or a woman. And even then there still are more than two 💀
oh wow so some of you do know how to use they/them pronouns. though it’s confusing you’re saying keep them out of woman’s bathrooms/sports but so may of your ilk are against gender neutral bathrooms, and would balk at a non-cis division in sports (which also would be impossible since such a small percentage of the population is trans, let alone play divisional sports, or even the same sport 💀) but i also doubt you could name 1-2 women’s teams without looking it up.
We are so fucked. The Dems fight among themselves so much we lose. I'd love to see an AOC or Mamdani like candidate. But if it's an establishment dem and you won't for then against a MAGA type - you are supporting fascism. We are at IC. There are people who are NOT OKAY now. Your refusal to vote means you are complicit.
They/them is plural, so unless you’re a group or your name is Legion, maybe try to stay within the confines of the English language? Also, I may not know the names of women’s teams, but I guarantee you the participants of them do and I don’t think any of them would appreciate competing against people with an advantage. Have you ever talked to a female athlete or are you the self imposed spokesperson for a group you know nothing about??
it took you an embarrassingly long time to come up with that just to fall flat. i mean obviously you’re implying low paying job = low work load since i imagine you were quite bothered that i took the time to correct misinformation. i mean i could list all the ways why that’s dumb, but i know its hard for you guys to read a lot of words. i bask in your inability to criticize my points 🙂
i see you’re unfamiliar with the concept of sarcasm. considering any linguist would laugh in your face about “staying within the confines of the English language” since yknow language regularly.. evolves i can’t say i’m surprised you aren’t aware the words can have multiple meanings. here for your reference sweetheart
now onto the other point, so i was correct in assuming that your concern about women’s sports is performative! it’s crazy that apparently you can “guarantee” that these athletes share your insipid biases. sports as a whole is literally built around people having “advantages”, micheal phelps lung capacity has been shown to be an advantage but is he barred from men’s sports? in basketball height is an advantage but they certainly don’t bar tall people from the NBA right? hopefully you get thepoint
and finally “have i ever spoken to a female athlete” well short answer is yes. long answer is i’m actually good friends with many female athletes in a variety of sports: crew, track, softball to name a few. and guess what? they aren’t threatened by a trans girl joining their team or competing against one, they just want to focus on playing their sport to the best of their ability. shocking isn’t it?
you asked me the question bud, i don’t care if you refuse to believe me. but boy let’s get into it! hope this will be an important lesson to not only read the title of an article but also its contents. i took the liberty of reading! notice how the study says it is only done on elite athletes, the smallest population of athletes and thus not unanimously representative of all female athletes. for instance my friends play at the college level
About 40% of the athletes surveyed (68 out of 175 total participant) were retired, so huh they wouldn’t even be impacted by trans women playing sports. Also the majority of athletes surveyed were canadian, american or british. (BBC is a british company btw) but yknow the same place that has been known for passing anti-trans legislation and rhetoric
And did you read the bit about the majority of non-Olympic sport athletes believing that yes trans women should be able to change categories? This is all to point out, I never said that no female athletes whatsoever aren’t okay with trans people in sports, there certainly are because women are not a monolith. That doesn’t change the true fact that all the female athletes I’m friends are okay with trans women competing in women’s sports. Please learn to throughly read your sources.
see now it really seems like you’re projecting. but it’s cute that i clearly have a little fan. i like arguing with bigots because it’s fun and stupidly easy. everyone isn’t just content letting people say harmful bs on a ‘random political post’ that anyone could read and feel disheartened by the scum of the earth in this comment section. the only individuals i desire attention from are people i respect. sadly the majority of people i reply to, like yourself, dont fit in that category.
Personally, I like her center-right policies but whether or not you like her policies is largely personal opinion and dependent on your political views. I will say what’s objective is her experience in politics as both UN ambassador (and thus her experience in international affairs), and as South Carolina governor which gives her experience being able to manage a government administration and gives her experience with US domestic affairs
No one’s dick riding Trump, we’re just 1) saying there’s a level to this bullshit and 2) pointing out how slow you have to be to worry about the president from 3 terms ago while the current president is setting fire to the world. If you’re the “what about x” kind of person, you don’t belong in politics- you belong in the 2nd grade.
How are you so stupid that you’re unable to see my correction immediately under my post and also not address anything said in it? The irony in talking about dick riding as you’re gargling a failed politician’s cock right now lmao. Go back to failing your courses and getting shit faced. I don’t have time for low class citizens.
Who? Who am i “gargling”? I haven’t said a positive thing about any politician. The goober here dick riding Obama because “blue mean good” like a 4th graders understanding of politics lol. No one has defended Trump. Especially not me. I’m also not going to act like Obama is some saint when he liked members of my family in Yemen in 2015, but you daf about that right? Absolute loser.
No one was talking about Trump. You’re the only one. You brought it up. “We shouldn’t talk about the failures of the Obama administration because Trump is bad” is generally the most idiotic shit ever. You’re obviously a Obama meat rider and lack any political knowledge outside of your Instagram feed. You’re a midwit at best. Read a book.
You can be a moderate and still hate MAGA 😂 It just means my policies aren’t fully one way or another. I love guns, but I think they need control. I’m pro choice, and have zero problems with gay rights, but also feel that we should be trying gender affirming therapy and such before straight up giving children body altering treatments. I can’t fully say I’m a democrat and I’m definitely not a full blown Republican, so I stay moderate.
I think what she means is that in America, it’s more likely for the next woman candidate to lose to a man who has already fucked up the country once, rather than win due to logic and merit. I can easily see MAGA turning around to say “it’s only because Trump was getting old! Vance will carry the torch” as if their policies and actions won’t be the same.
I don’t know. As far as being a terrible president goes, I think they’d line up similarly, but he is going to be much worse at uniting the MAGA fan boys together. Unlike Trump, who was born with Daddy’s money in his mouth, Vance doesn’t have much for them to gloat about or look up towards. I feel like he’d fall apart pretty quickly.
Not just the last two. Many of our country’s presidents are objectively war criminals when you look into it. All the way from Vietnam to bombing a small group of elderly fisherman in Venezuela. War is a hard bc ultimately anything that happens from a decision or a soldier’s actions will reflect on the president, but also in war terrible things happen. I’d be more surprised at a president who fought a war WITHOUT committing war crimes at some point. In a perfect world, I’m sure we’d all want that
I don’t think he will win, but look up Peter Thiel. Vance has been bankrolled by a techno-fascist who aligns with dummies like Curtis Yarvin on economic and social policies. If Vance were to somehow win, he would literally implement some of the most pro big tech policies and completely abandon the middle class. Yarvin and Thiel firmly hate democratic process and would prefer a totalitarian state that supports them and abandons everyone else.
I personally feel that it’s time Americans move away electing someone who is Democrat or Republican and elect someone who has the country’s economy and wellbeing in mind. Fuck all the shit about marriage, weed, guns- leave that to state legislation. Stop America from bankrupting, and bring us to the modern age with universal healthcare. No more feelings, just pragmatism. If Argentina can do it, so can America.
To be so for real, the powerful countries that are currently problems for America are sexist. If a woman was president she’d have to do a whole ton more to command respect than a man to even get them to talk to her, let alone take her seriously in any real way. If I were to vote for a woman I’d have to feel confident she can play the game well enough to make up for that initial lack of respect. I don’t think Obama is that woman. I didn’t think Kamala was either.
I don’t have time to look for it, but someone wrote “imagine being a Democrat in 2025”. As a moderate, you might objectively be one of the dumbest people in America. Put aside all your feelings about American nationalism and immigration. What has Trump done for you that has made your life better? Fewer farms, income, and jobs, and higher taxes for the lower class? It’s not about Rep vs Dem right now, it’s about someone who cares about the future and someone who’s happy to lick an empty boot.
Oh, lmao, my reply was straight to your dogshit response. Perfect. Tell me more about how supporting (arguably) the worst businessman in America is better than anything else. Fucking Argentinians have universal healthcare and we have “Americans” losing their farms 😮💨 You sure you’re not a foreign plant?
I’ll never understand why people with good points to make do so little research. Like, your criticisms of Obama would be so valid if you’d get even 50% of your facts straight. Yemen is not majority Shia, it’s majority Sunni. Most estimates were that around 85k children died in the first year of the war, not 400k. 85k is enough on its own to get your point across - why lie?
Fuck a word limit but I’ll keep going - Israel wasn’t involved in the war/revolution. What the fuck are you even talking about? A “planned famine by Obama” is a little bit misleading. The UK and US were for sure complicit and even encouraged the saudis in the form of intelligence sharing and arms selling, but a “planned famine” is a little bit beyond the scope of available evidence.
