That’s the point though. According to these fucking brain geniuses trans women would/should be absolutely dominating sports of any kind that they’re participating in. The actual *fact* is that there’s vanishingly few even participating, much less dominating anything

*puts on dumbass hat*

It’s almost like there’s another reason for their being all pissy about it, I just can’t put my finger on what...

I’m not even technically a Canadian citizen (yet) and I support this

“even if a bit blind to how achieving her dreams would impact herself”

You’d think more right-wingers would be bitching to the FCC about her JAQing off on live tv...

I’m just kind of wondering exactly what laws anyone broke that she, and other dumbass right-wing commentators, are saying people should be prosecuted/”locked up” for.

This! If it’s so fucking horrible to be spending money running investigations, why were there 9 (IIRC) separate Benghazi investigations; none of which showed any wrongdoing by anyone? I keep bringing that up to MAGA chuds and they never have an answer

“for some reason we need to pay those people the wages of someone who will?”

“And yet plenty of people do manage to develop skills and move from low paying jobs to better jobs every year”

“A person develops the skills to be worth whatever they think they need...In the meantime you work a lower level job which aids in developing those skills”

I’ve actually considered that before too. Instead of giving every company a tax cut, incentivize them to raise pay in exchange for the cut

That’s what I’ve been thinking since “Fight for $15" started, pretty much. Fifteen won’t go that far in, say, LA but would go a bit further here in Denver and a whole lot further in BFE, Arkansas.

If it was Airazor I’d be much more on board. I had a weird thing for her when I was a kid watching the show for some reason

And, of course, they push this kind of shit while also cheering about low unemployment number.

“And non-profit does not mean no profit. Profit in the np world is referred to as “margin”, which can then be used to expand into other markets, or other products, or other companies as the company sees fit”

Basically, because *wayyyy too many* progressives can’t seem to wrap their minds around the fact that there’s a vast amount of gray area between “single payer” (a’la Canada, UK) and the bullshit system we have now, all of which work better than our shit system. To them it’s a black and white issue

Trying to push through impeachment right now is exactly the wrong thing to do. It would only serve to further energize his base and alienate whatever moderates still exist (which I know too many progressives don’t give a shit about but the fact is that they make up a whole lot more of the electorate than progressives).…

The “sexism” angle was being mocked because it was just as dismissive of a legitimate criticism, albeit one that maybe could have been worded better.

Seems like it would be related to confirmation bias in a way. I know it’s not just here, I probably just notice it more as I’m reading opinion pieces (and their comments) here more than most other places
