Even after the endless hand-wringing, it’s nobody learned anything from 2016. People still keep bringing up polling numbers, even though we know those don’t mean much any more. People still keep insisting that an anti-establishment candidate can’t possibly win.

The silence of those on this site who have spent the past few years erasing the people of colour supporting Bernie Sanders is deafening.

95% of people paid to talk about politics have no idea what they are talking about, and are completely unable to place anything about the current political moment in contemporary or historical context.

Chuck Todd and Chris Mathews need to lay off the Nazi comparisons of a Presidential candidate that lost family in the holocaust. 

That’s an authoritarian whim? Immigrants rights groups are supporting Sanders because his immigration plans are superior every candidate running. This is also why he has endorsements from Make the Road Action (just yesterday!), Center for Popular Democracy Action, Dream Defenders, and People’s Action network.

Bernie’s got the most diverse team on the campaign. 70% Women on the leadership team and most people of color.

Coincidentally? How naive are you? This stunt by the Warren campaign was clearly coordinated with the CNN staff and timed to coincide with the debate. Matt Taibbi did a good write-up of the whole sleazy affair. There was nothing coincidental about any of it.

Warren’s reputation vs Bernie’s reputation, plus anyone who followed the details of this whole debacle objectively, is why Warren is being called the liar here. Considering Biden just talked about how he’ll consider Warren as a VP pick this morning, I don’t know what else to tell you. Frankly, I just can’t get a clear…

“betrothed”? You mean he husband?

Michael Phelps competes in an open category. Anyone in the world is free to challenge him.

So for instance, everyone who can run a certain distance in a certain time can qualify for one team, and those who can’t meet that (or maybe exceed that?) qualify for the next team. Each team might skew more in a particular direction in terms of gender, but it would still be boys and girls and non-binary…

Not a conservative: I’m a bisexual man currently in a relationship with another man. There’s a cultural discussion to be had about whether or not trans women should be considered women at a social level, but they are biologically male. There’s the same discussion to be had about trans men, but trans men are…

I think you’ve gotten to the heart of it. The fundamental reason that men and women have different categories in sports is because of biologically sexed differences. It baffles me that some people want to pretend that biology doesn’t really exist.

girls wanting to compete against other girls are not traitors of anything

If you think that it’s fair that a male-bodied person should be competing against females then you don’t even science.

It doesn’t actually take a large amount to be statistically significant at the winning levels. This is a real and present issue in women’s sports right now, with both trans women and XY, androgen-sensitive women athletes. 

Maybe it’s about fair competition for college scholarships for female athletes?

I guess nobody will be able to complain that women’s sports are boring to watch when both are being played by men.

Trans women are not real women. They are dudes who got their dicks cut off. Republican lawmakers are getting one thing right at least.

Yeah, that didn’t happen
