Ohhhhhh, I see... his history of fighting for civil rights, being from one of those “outer / working class cities,” being a minority, fixing healthcare in MD, and focusing on AIDS/HIV discrimination, GLTBQ discrimination/protection, and ADA enforcement/discrimination, police enforcement (including, explicitly,…

Revolution generally does swing things to the left, and I suspect revolution is what the Bros want. Trouble is, I don’t think they understand what it actually entails. Looking back at history, Revolution comes with bloodshed and loss of life, and I suspect a lot of the Bros are too busy toking up to fight, much less…

Wait a minute here. If I’m depressed and hate my body because I have small boobs, and I try to kill myself, do I deserve a boob job? On top of that I shot and killed a father of three, whose children I’m sure are going through horrible trauma at the death of their father.

Exactly. We need to look at what is the bare bones stuff we need done and then for the rest work on how to get it done in addition. We need to be able to articulate our arguments for why that needs to get done in the most straightforward manner possible. If it takes you more than a sentence or two, you may have…

How could this possibly be life-threatening? Don’t be ridiculous.

You have no idea if her need for surgery is life threatening or not. You’re talking outta your ass.

Yup. The militant left is worse than the Tea Party because at least at the end of the day, the Tea Party still gets in line behind whatever candidate spews forth from the Republican shitpile. Not so with the far left. They’re so up their own ass about getting everything they want, they get nothing instead. In fact, as…

There are quite a few people on the far left who wanted this to happen. I can’t even remember all the times I saw Bernie or Busters saying things like “I’d rather have Trump, because I’d rather have four bad years than eight ok ones with Hillary” or “This country needs a reset, and then voters will go ultra liberal!”

Yup. I hope everyone on the left who chose to “vote your conscience” this election understands what rewards you reap when you don’t vote for the best viable option available. But probably not. Seems like some people would prefer “actual, realized catastrophe” to “commendable but not nearly perfect.”

Oh, for god’s sake, can we knock it off with the hyperbole?

I don’t think you can compare anorexia with being transgender. Would you give liposuction or bariatric surgery  to someone suffering from anorexia nervosa?

Hm. I am liberal and I fully support trans acceptance, but when someone is a convicted murderer (and not convicted in the sense of a kangaroo court) I gusss I don’t really have much empathy for their mental health. If she’s tried to kill herself, I can really only shrug my shoulders there. She willingly took another…

How could this possibly be life-threatening? Don’t be ridiculous.

We should fix that by giving everyone better healthcare coverage, not by giving inmates less.

I work in the medical field, and inmates have better health coverage than the VAST majority of Americans. It’s really upsetting.

She IS a criminal. She’s a convicted murderer.

The picture at the top only serves to reinforce the idea she’s a criminal

I mean... her being a criminal is a crucial point to this story, no?

I’m liberal as hell and am mad at this bullshit. Do the wrong things in life and get what you want, at the expense of our taxes, that’s the lesson here. I need my state to rewrite its prison policy so that unless it’s life threatening, prisoners don’t get any surgery. There are so many law abiding people looking for…

Nah, I can’t get behind this one. You got taxpayers (including victim’s family) paying for a surgery that isn’t absolutely necessary. There are many transgender folks, who aren’t murderers, that are much more deserving. Maybe we should just tell the law abiding trans community that if they want to have the surgery,…
