That you can't tell the difference says everything.

That Fox and conservative media, and garbage companies like "Pureflix", have convinced Christians in the US that despite Christians/Catholics holding almost all offices of power, and despite the heavy injection of Christian views and beliefs throughout our government despite the Separation Clause (why do you swear in on a Bible by default?), that they're actually one of the most discriminated against groups in the US and are constantly under attack.

I mean...have you seen those Starbucks cups?

Don't forget the latest affront, a drag queen commercial during the upcoming sports ball game!

Bloomberg has best chance to win

Bloomberg: the nanny state that you hate about Democrats and the right-wing economics you hate about Republicans.

Hard to see him actually get any traction outside the beltway.

Imagine if Trump was asked about religious history in schools and he said, "My next Secretary of Education will be interviewed by a young Christian person and will only be hired if that child approves."

The mockery would be endless. It'd be another wackadoodle idea from Trump.

I am sorry, have you met Trump's secretary of education? that woman is fucking moron.

[Masark]

Jesus Christ.

Here's AAP / ACOP / HRC talking about what really is involved with trans kids.

Just wait, they're going to come back with some spewage from the American College of Pediatricians or similar group.

She is doing everything she can to enrich herself, like the rest of his administration.

Should children even be allowed to get gender reassignment surgery? They can’t consent to sex, so this should be off limits too

They have every right to do it when they’re adults.

Talking about political / legal attitudes to trans or other LGBT people is already walking on thin ice, but arguably belongs in a thread about primaries. Delving into gender issues directly is forbidden, though.

your comment makes no sense, the nanny state being food stamps/medicaid/aca/ and republican economics being cutting those, bloomberg is actually very in between, he wants more taxes and regulations on industries that need it( coal for example) and less regulations on industries that need less ( like housing) I thinnk hes exactly what people are looking for someone who has no ideology except doing whats best objectively and statistically, he was a former republican so trump cant attack him and call him a leftist socialist like he will crumble bernie with

You do not appear to have any realization of the disregard for reality that trump and the rest of the Republicans currently engage in.

true
they called obama a marxist socialist who had open borders.

when obama was actually very strong on deporting people... and had a very capitalistic nuanced approach, his healthcare plan they labelled communist was a republican proposal.. i wish we did live in the reality where peoples actual proposals and policiies mattered more than what people heard on facebook. But overall i think bernie sanders would elevate such fear because he has attached a label such as socialism to himself, look i actually like some of his policies minus rent control probably because i own real estate stock, but i want the candidate that will most likely beat trump.

true

They also called Obama a Kenyan born Muslim Devil.

It's similar to the Birther Crowd but in bigger numbers and dumber.

[jonnysensible]

Do you agree or disagree that Warren is putting together a Skroe-Friendly foreign policy team?

sorry for slow reply didnt see it. STOP PARROTING TANKIE GHOULS. max is a toxic little cunt. The Grayzone is fucking awful, borderline conspiracy nonsense. Id put it up there with infowars.

That should be up to medical professionals to decide. Meanwhile, anti-trans laws in Kentucky go way further than just that.

The one in Kentucky is specifically designed to destroy anyone who actually deals in trans related medical care, including for adults. Offering a 20 year window for a lawsuit would make any doctor who handles our care uninsurable.

Very true, no candidate has won a presidential election without at least 45% support of the independent voters.

In the last election Trump had 47% support of the independent vote while Hilary only had 41%. Luckily that is something Trump does not have right now as the midterms have shown.

Then this year could give you a excellent chance at making some money betting on the election outcome.

Biden, Sanders can both beat Trump I think. But they need to just shut their fucking mouths for 5 fucking mins. Just keep regurgitating Trump's shitty healthcare approach and nothing else. Don't say shit about guns, don't say shit about LGBT stuff, don't say shit about abortion. Just hammer Trump on healthcare and shut the fuck up. When you win, work toward all the gun, LGBT, abortion shit you want quietly. But shut the fuck up during the campaign.

sanders is pro-gun, and nobody who is against abortion or lgbt rights is voting for the dems, no matter what.

By 'nanny state people hate about Democrats' I didn't mean the welfare state, I meant things like banning Big Gulps.

The median voter is center to slightly conservative on social and cultural issues.

Won't change that those sort of people are not going to vote for any dem, unless said dem is very conservative.
