I don’t think you understand how Kinja works. If you went into your profile and changed your username to Flying Squid (Kinja’s official punching bag), and copied and pasted the image in the avatar, all of your old comments would be updated to reflect this change.
I usually use the name Sanders/Kasich 2016 and my avatar is a picture from the cover of the old italian socialist paper Avanti!
I am not and have not. (this also isn’t my usual name or picture on kinja, I’ve changed it to flying squid to piss him off because he is a monumental asshole.)
I think you have rather naive views (if you’ve thought enough to have any views at all) about what it takes to get a political coalition together large enough that you can get 65 million+ people to vote for your candidate. I also think the idea that they need to be cured of the fiction that is Catholicism (say) and…
No I am just being intellectually honest. :(
okay!
A woman. And yes, I know their fucking position is based on religion. I think it is pretty pointless to talk to you, though, so maybe we should stop this back and forth.
I don’t know, but their political goals don’t seem to be preventing every abortion including purely elective ones. (Otherwise they might not be voting for people who are staunchly pro-choice.) So you can try and speculate all you want about their hidden motives and beliefs, but I prefer to stick to what they say they…
I agree with you. Just because a position is wrong doesn’t mean it is incoherent or hypocritical though.
Okay, I assume you meant inviable, not unvaluable. Again, I don’t see how you are doing anything but deflecting here. Did you read my comment? I don’t know what their position is, and I don’t know why they have to have a position on this. Their position seems to be that reducing abortion is a good thing, and to reduce…
What are you saying? I hope you are okay and didn’t have a stroke while typing :(
Well I think that is a horrible policy, but I was just defending the coherence of the pro-life-democratic-voter position.
No, there is no hypocrisy there. I’m not even sure why they need to have an opinion about whether or not anyone should be allowed to have an abortion, let alone voice it. They simply think that a key way to reduce abortion is to have a fair distribution of wealth and increase essential services for everyone. They are…
It does if you operate with the most minimal amount of interpretive charity. They think fetuses are people (they are wrong about this in my book, but whatever). They think that people have rights, that life is sacred, and that abortion is wrong. They think that a great many abortions take place due to issues of…
If you actually take the time to read the article their positions make a whole lot of sense...certainly more than the usual republican position. And isn’t one of the most common criticisms of Republicans that they stop caring about the person/fetus the moment they are born? These people seem to at least not be…
Exactly, I could not agree more. I mean I want them to vote for Hillary of course, and I am sort of glad they are in the party for that reason, but they shouldn’t have any voice in policy when it comes to reproductive rights etc.
The Munich one wasn’t a terrorist attack, it was just another angry young dude on a shooting spree. I thought America really had the monopoly on those, but I guess we’re exporting it.
Also please kill yourself.
Did you see the same video I did?
