    Poll: Re: Presidential primaries (2024)

    It was a failure because Obamacare was a window to fix some of the fundamental flaws with the US for-profit system and it failed to do that. The Reps can't overturn it because despite it being a...
  2. Re: Horrific statistics about the mental health of teenage girls in USA \ Globally

    I think the implications of the prevalence of social media are the clear number 1 factor. I don't think it has anything to do with divorce rate because the data does not support it.

  3. Re: The U.S. Debt Ceiling and the Possible Financial Cliff

    It's such a disingenuous line to take.

  4. Re: Culture Wars: The ever-increasing dangers of a progressive shift

    All public beaches market themselves as family friendly and you can see women and men in next nothing walking around. If spend enough time at the beach, you'll see a lot more sexual acts as well. Do...
  5. Re: Culture Wars: The ever-increasing dangers of a progressive shift

    The conservatives have gone off the deep end with some of this cultural war stuff. I saw some of those Fox clips from family-friendly drag shows and on any large public beach during summer, kids and...
  6. Re: "Democracy Is On The Ballot" Or is it?

    1. There is a difference between gender and sex. It's been discussed before and isn't really hard to understand.

    2. Not a valid argument. The right-wing opposed climate change for decades before...
  7. Re: Husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attacked in his home.

    Rand Paul getting beat up had nothing to do with politics either. It was a neighborly dispute turned ugly.


    And for HH, it's really not hard to break into the house of these people. The Speaker...

    It's been proven that the original click-bait headline is false and misleading.

    Yeah, it's absurd but a long-standing part of the right-winger playbook. Post something misleading and blatantly false so the idea can spread and reinforce all sorts of ignorant paranoia among the...

    And if those are the only issues you disagree with the GOP, then you aren't really center-left, you just happen to a hold a couple of center-left positions on economic issues that you clearly care...
  16. Re: The latest anti-liberal rant thread (get your daily dose here)

    This says it all. You can't even admit a blatantly false and misleading headline is incorrect.

  17. Re: The latest anti-liberal rant thread (get your daily dose here)

    The only thing I see disingenuous about the last three pages are your posts. Do you admit the title is blatantly false and only done for obvious click-bait purposes?

    If you wanted to have a good...
  18. Re: The latest anti-liberal rant thread (get your daily dose here)

    The strawman is the title of the article "Berkeley Develops Jewish Free Zones" which is simply a misleading click-bait title that makes people think this is something the University and Law School...
  19. Re: The latest anti-liberal rant thread (get your daily dose here)

    Like any game of telephone, the actual facts seem to get muddled when information passes around without being fact checked.

    Let's look at the facts.

    Re: President Biden's first term in office

    I don't think these few views really qualify you as center-left overall. Based on the majority of the posts, I'd say a more accurate description would be center-right/right leaning with a couple of...

    Re: Pronouns and References

    It sounds perfectly fine to me. As the example I gave earlier, "they" has a long been used as a singular pronoun particularly when gender is unknown. Considering non-binary individuals don't identify...

    What policy positions do you hold that you believe are center left?
    What planks of the GOP platform so you disagree with?
  27. Re: Want to rant about rightwings and conservatives? This is your thread.

    If I was Christian, I'd be more convinced Trump is the Anti-Christ. A rare case that actually epitomizes all seven deadly sins to the nth degree. He's even got his mark of the beast.

    Should be a simple and uncontroversial topic. Call people what they prefer to be called. It's basic human decency and respect. If a non-binary person wants to be called "they" then use "they". If a...

    I'm glad you acknowledge Adrian made inaccurate and exaggerated statements.

    It's a bit strange of you (although I understand the purpose of this tactic) to call social justice groups and related...
  33. Re: The latest anti-liberal rant thread (get your daily dose here)

    My point is that this assertion by Adrian is not supported by anything he, or you, have posted since.
