Health care for all (including illegal immigrants), charging off student debt, green new deal (which will require massive amounts of batteries made from rival China and huge changes/investments in our infrastructure driving up nat’l debt even further), wishy/washy support for Israel, and not really knowing how to define a “woman”…just to name a few.
It's not our fault that "Because it is their choice to make" isn't good enough for you. You don't have to agree with their choice, you don't have to like or support their choice, but you don't get to make it for them either.
I was more R until the Obama election. I saw many people say racist crap when he won and throughout his terms... it just shocked me that people I thought I knew would say such things. The rhetoric and and tone has only gotten worse in the years since that I am firmly on the D side now. Don not agree with a lot of the platform, but enough of it to stay as long as the Rs party is MAGA.
Right or wrong IVF rights is getting mixed up with Roe vs Wade. This is what happens when you let zealots make and interpret laws about healthcare.
I'd vote for Nixon, warts and all, over the choices we're going to have in November...
“Women of ill repute”?
Another poster made great point recently…we’re not voting for a homecoming king, i.e. popularity contest…rather their policies and how they can relate to other world leaders, deal with crisis, etc. Kamala would be weak in those areas.
What about the Green New Deal are you against?
For one thing, there are insane lows in some places like Texas and Louisiana where even miscarriage care is banned. We have friend's whose married daughter went in for a a checkup and no heartbeat was detected. So then she had an ultrasound and the fetus was dead. They said she would need to come in for a DNC and some states have banned that. She would have to carry it around and hope it came out at some point. And it is sickening how trump says people support 9 month or I think he even says after 9 month abortions like babies are being killed after birth. And you have no idea why people get abortions, just assume they are "largely a group of women of ill repute."
but its WAY easier to just assume you know why people get abortions and then judge them off those assumptions
Birth control doesn’t always work. Same with vasectomies. 60 % of abortions are from women that already have a child. You’re making board assumptions about them being whores. They could be trapped in abusive relationship. Addicts, aids, etc all of the above.
Roe v Wade is most certainly not a simple political difference. Nearly a quarter of Idaho's OB/GYNs - especially in rural areas - have left the state over fears of being prosecuted for providing necessary care. Women in those areas may have to drive for hours to see a qualified doctor.
You're right, Trump has certainly emboldened the morons.
LOL...fvck off if you think Trump has the qualities of which you speak. If Harris is "weak in those areas", Trump is nothing but vapor.
Good work, soybean. Your perseverance is bearing fruit.
Obama brought a lot of the underground racism back into full view. I walked into my MIL's luggage shop when she and her partner were talking about something. The topic of the impending election came up and her partner asked me how I could could consider voting for Obama. I asked her why she wouldn't consider him. "Because he's a ni$#er!" she shouted. I was shocked that someone I'd known for years would utter those words. It was then that I realized how naive I'd been and that was the last time I spoke to her partner.
My niece - married with three kids - had an abortion while pregnant with her fourth. A fatal fetal defect was found in the second trimester. If the baby had survived until birth - not a high likelihood - it's life would have ended after a few hours and much pain. It was an incredibly painful AND PERSONAL decision she made with her husband, and you don't have the right - or the intelligence - to judge that decision.
and yet that's still outlawed by many states' legislation enabled by roe v wade going away
And even then a lot of women still cannot get pregnant, but at least they have the options. My ex-wife (no pic) and I tried for three years, just the fertility part, after eight years of unsuccessful attempts without fertility. I would not wish it on anyone. Even those women that do get pregnant endure an awful rollercoaster ride.
I am pro choice, I am extremely disappointed by these latest developments. The Republicans are absolutely insane with the social dogma, and the left is absolutely insane catering to any perceived victim in the world. I’ve never voted for a Republican for president or senate.
Voted for Trump in '16 & '20. Vowed I would vote for any R in '16 NOT named Trump although I did it anyways. I'm on the fence if I will vote for D or R or 3rd party at this point. Trump and school vouchers have really made me rethink my political affiliation also.
All those tapes where he's blasting out bigoted Jewish and racist tropes left and right weren't enough to sway you huh?
as usual...there's an article that shows this to be false
I got 2 IVF kids after years of trying other methods. It’s crazy what the naive don’t know or want to learn.
Outside of Vietnam and a paranoia as big as all outdoors, Nixon's policies were remarkably "woke". Clean air. Clean water. The EPA. He even pushed universal health care. Hell, if he'd simply phoned Coretta Scott King as JFK did after Dr. King was jailed, Nixon might have been elected in 1960 - his support in the black community was pretty strong. Dr. King - who had considered Nixon a "friend" - had supported his bid but went with JFK after Nixon snubbed him.
