Have a friend who is a gay female immigrant (and also a Christian and Republican).  Went to the pride parade in Columbus and got the business in spades.  She and her wife had to leave, because they honestly thought there were a few people ready to assault her for not being a Democrat.

Don't get me wrong, she can't stand Trump, but that's apparently not good enough.

Do they wear patches on their jackets that say Republican?

So as of right now, the democrat party is for:

1.) We're against anything Trump

2.) Identity politics

3.) Voter shaming

What else are they offering people that will reach out to voters? What are they actually offering? What are they offering middle America/rust belt? What are their plans to bolster the economy? Are they willing to cut corporate ties? 

Trump is for middle America? What is he offering? Short term small tax cut but wages are flat and ur insurance is cut and please don’t get sick cause u can lose a family legacy of money if they say it was a preexisting condition. But they have free health care. You don’t deserve it though

I don't know what you're talking about because: 1.) I'm not a Trump fan and 2.) I specifically asked what dems are doing to entice the vote.

It's really just that easy.

No, but she (her wife is a registered Democrat) wouldn't sign petitions of people coming around looking for signatures, and when asked why, she said it was because she was a Republican.

Said most such people just gave her a funny look or blank stare, but a couple got militant.

Poked around her timeline and found this gem as well. Apparently Michelle Wolf's Netflix series was cancelled because she's a woman, not because it was a massive dumpster fire of a show.

Damn.  Joel McHale must secretly be a woman, too.

Still have to admire the fact that she created 15 minutes of fame because of Trump, and immediately cashed in.  Her career basically spans the entirety of about 3 months.

I can't help but give her a nod for seizing the opportunity and getting herself paid off that little hustle.

Still, as a human:

This can be said for many people.  Either they are making careers out of Trump or reviving their careers (i.e. Kimmel and Colbert) out of Trump.

This opinion piece hasn't aged well. LOL.

Same with this and he still hasn't taken it off his page. I still LOL at Bernie supporters who get extremely defensive when Venezuela is brought up and claim Bernie has nothing to do with it...

These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, where incomes are actually more equal today than they are in the land of Horatio Alger. Who's the banana republic now?

LOL

The only part about that whole mess, or the fact that the Berning Sensation used it, that surprises me is that it hasn't been taken off his page yet.

Ok ... I don't know where to go from here.

For the purposes of this guide, we’ll refer to the vagina as the “front hole” instead of solely using the medical term “vagina.” This is gender-inclusive language that’s considerate of the fact that some trans people don’t identify with the labels the medical community attaches to their genitals.

 

FRONT HOLE!

I do my best to be fairly inclusive.  I'm even cool with the whole "gender is a social construct" thing.

But biology is biology.  This is straight-up fucking stupid.

So, I just finished watching Dave Rubin's talk with Jeffery Tucker. During this talk they first went over left wing progressivism and everything that has gone wrong with the left such as the worship of identitarianism and collectivism.. The second half of this talk was going over how the right has the very same things going on - identitarianism and collectivism and how it all started. It was, all of it, very interesting to think about as they were talking about it. I have to say that we all discuss continuously about how the left's collectivism is the new church. However, at the same time we don't really think about how the right is doing to very same thing with it's alt-right white nationalism schtick. Both religions, which is how I think of it (there are academics on both the right and left who lay out very comprehensive cases on why these ideologies follow the same paths as religious zealoutry and the systems/hiearchies [could have their own discussions, really] they adhere to), are very dangerous in their own right. Both religions have killed uncountable amounts of people. 

This is why I love Dave Rubin. He's not afraid to bring to light these issues and have discussions about them. These discussions make you take into consideration the other side of the story, even if begrudgingly.

It's there.  But it's an order of magnitudes less.  I mean, they just had a rally that attracted like 20 people.

Meanwhile, left wing nutjobs like Ocasio-Cortez - who can't get an actual real job - are going to Congress.  LULZ to watch an economic debate between her and Boatshoes.

We will be sharing a laugh of about how the bond market continues to prove Gut wrong year after year after year.
