Nobody said you can’t. My point in my first post still stands. Progressive, centrist, it matters less in the presentual elections than any other office. I’m voting Democrat because scotus nominations are everything.

No, my point was no other party has a better record of supporting our civil rights and until they do I am fine with voting for Dems versus not voting. The Dem party needs criticism, badly, I’m just not sure it’s wise to let perfect be the enemy of the good. I don’t expect to get everything I want and if I do I start…

We are talking about the national presidential election still, yes? Where you get to pick between Republican and not-Republican? The Democratic Party won’t put up an anti-choice candidate for president, imo.

Name which other party has a resume as long as the Democratic Party for enacting progressive policies and concerns into law. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

“More progressive” to whom? It’s worse to be a woman in America now than any other time in my adult life. The fatal idealism of those on the left who administer purity tests to centrist Democrats will be the fucking death of us all.

They’re worth it. Yesterday and now and tomorrow. If we allow immigrants to be treated like this with impunity now, guess what? We are next. Believe me, they’re looking for ways to get away with treating certain groups of American citizens like this too. 

“Border Patrol agents are known to destroy supplies like water and food left on migrant routes.”

It’s going to get worse. I am surprised by how well things are going thus far, actually. I thought we’d have built death camps for women and Latin Americans by now. 

I heard that too, except my recollection is their notability stems from their rather odd and distinctive *lack* of legal problems.

Maybe they didn’t think it was worth being terminated over.

I close my eyes, roll them, then open them. Only takes a sec. 

More women in power does make the world a better place. Even when that woman as an individual is as mediocre as any man. Because she inspires other women and girls to strive for positions they might not have, and shows them and society as a whole that having a penis isn’t actually required for any particular jobs…

Can we ever just talk about sexism and it’s perils for women regardless of their race, or is constant derailing to take the focus off of men’s bad behavior not allowed? 

His drag name would be Polly Sigh.

Maybe over the summer she will give them jobs as housecleaners like she does all of her “mentees” back home. 

My ex-boyfriend was about to get his flu vaccination, and didn’t for some reason. A few weeks later he comes down with GBS and is now having to learn to walk again. If he had received the flu shot, at his young age and healthy state, we would have totally assumed his GBS came from the vaccine, because sometimes they h…

Yes, I think it’s pretty common. I know that my first thought upon my first pregnancy news was about how quickly I could take care of aborting. When I got another abortion it was because I changed my mind about becoming a mother. I thought it was the right time. It wasn’t. I realized it in time, thank gourd, decided…

How this news isn’t blowing the fuck up all over the place I do not know. It’s a sad testament to how little people care about women that they don’t see what a monumental gain this is in the fight for reproductive rights.

It’s the epitome of “Not My Nigel!”

Good. Make his brand of bullshit unacceptable. Expose it for the untenable, inexcusable destruction it is, even if it’s family. No relative is more important than the millions who will suffer or die because of that person’s support of despots. Call people out. Don’t be embarrassed to do so either. Never feel ashamed…
