    makes me ill
    idc what side of the political spectrum you stand on this has been made easier to accept
    its almost a fashion statement that garners attention for the people who don't stand out
    "look at me i'm gay" and celebrities use it as well to get noticed
    i could care less where people stick their dicks and their tongues
    its been made into something to be celebrated which imo is totally bizarre
    i love my daughter and nephew who apparently feel they are gay
    i accept it and it makes zero difference as to how i see them as family
    in my daughters case (step technically) i dont think she was ever loved and she had boyfriends so i think its a love thing and she's clearly the woman of the relationship
    in my nephews case i'm not sure but i'm just hoping he doesn't want to transition
    why has it become so common place to mutilate our bodies?
    feels like someone stole the handle and we are full speed to the end

    The market goes up over time, that’s just what it does. You need a pretty bad market crash for it to not go up during your presidency, it went down during Bush Jr’s presidency, but even then it took the biggest crash in 50 years for it to go down barely. Again, the market did better under the first 3 years of Obama and Clinton. The market has been pretty normal under Trump, nothing to write home about.

    I’m a big Buttigieg supporter, I’ve loved the guy since I first heard him interviewed over a year ago... so I find the hatred over this clip odd. I agree that there can sometimes be too much exploitation of minority groups and kids, puppies, photo-op moments, etc... but I’ve heard a lot of Pete, and I can honestly say he rarely speaks about being gay. When he does, he is prideful like in the clip, but it’s almost 100% because someone else brought it up. I’ve heard him talk hours straight on policy and political ideology without even mentioning it. Honestly, if he wasn’t gay he’d almost certainly be twice as dangerous in this race. So I get what you’re saying, Diablo, but I don’t think he’s that guy.

    The guy is just trying to save us from Bernie right now

    just seems like everywhere you look the gay agenda is front and center being force fed to the masses
    i don't think its anything more than the militant gays and overcompensating homophobic adults (mostly white liberals imo) that put it on blast
    unless you're a boorish fool you probably don't have any issue w gay people doing their thing and getting married since society says thats how we want it
    i think mayor Pete seems like a good enough guy and i appreciate he acts like a man first and not a primping affected look at me type
    of course if he did he wouldn't have a chance in hell and as i said earlier i still don't think he does
    all that aside even the competition says he's scripted and robotic and i have to agree
    at times it sounds to me like he's trying to channel obama without the personality idk
    really think trump is licking his chops to get at any one of the candidates
    used to vote for democrats on occasion but this field is an absolute mess and probably tulsi was the best chance
    seems like the party has pushed so far left now that a socialist/communist is the front runner
    can't go any farther than that
    when a person openly cites things like castro had his good points i can't listen anymore
    no socialism, free speech and free markets and i don't see any dem advocating any of those core tenants

    I can’t argue that Pete is scripted and robotic. I appreciate it from a “prepared” standpoint, but he certainly doesn’t have the personality of Obama, Trump, or even Bernie. Personally, I find the Trump personality exhausting and having a president who values making good decisions over saying whatever will get the most cheers would be refreshing... I’m starting to worry that won’t be the case though.

    IMO, Pete is the best speaker in the Democratic race, but Bernie has the most personality because he’s just unapologetically who he is (Trump has that same personality, different values and experience obviously, but same personality).

    I’d like to see the parties move back towards the center so we can agree on the 80% of things that most people agree with, and just argue the 20%... but we seem to be moving towards the poles. Ugh. Politics.

    Pete's not my guy. All I can say.

    Bernie? Well, I'm terrified that there are enough gullible people in this country to have turned a communist who writes erotic short stories about women being gang raped, praises Fidel Castro's re-education programs, and has never had a real job in his entire life into a millionaire 10X over...and into a presidential front runner.

    The fact that Trump or anyone for that matter would not win all 50 states against somebody like Bernie is scary.

    I'd also like to know how they calculate and verify people living "paycheck to paycheck"
    They scream about how this economy doesn't work for everyone, and how so many live paycheck to paycheck.
    A lot of that has to do with fiscal irresponsibility
    I know people who make 180-250k per year that live paycheck to paycheck.
    I also know dishwashers and custodians who have zero debt, five-figure emergency funds, healthy IRAs, and could miss 6 paychecks without going under.

    exactly
    i have a sister who lives paycheck to paycheck and i guarantee if you gave her 500k she be living pc to pc within 2 years max
    a lot of people have no idea how the dream is supposed to work
    work hard, deny yourself everything you want, save, invest, repeat
    no one is supposed to get anything for nothing but thats certainly changed
    to the point that if you point it out you're called all sorts of names

    Kids aren't a minority.
    They are THE minority.
    The original protected class.
    The first ones whose rights had to be fought for by human civil and social justice rights activists.

    It's not about gay candidates.
    Only the fringes really cares about that at the end of the day. Just like Diablo said.
    But more folks that are cool with gays and gay marriage still get upset at the glorification or exploitation of a child's sexuality.
    It's normal for us here out west to see it.
    But not everywhere else.
    And the fact that it's normal for us kinda disgusts them.

    Go west young man!
    That saying simply means progress.
    And the west is the best because it's also the end. The final door.
    Or as the final door is called in persian... Babylon.
    Babylon is not a country for old men.
    Old men get more conservative as they age.
    And that's not a good thing in general.
    Because it's a young man's world.
    Always been.
    Regardless of age or time.
    The next generation always wins.
    They always get in the gate.
    By hook or by crook.
    Unless you are an old man.

    Or unless this generation really is the start of the millennial kingdom.
    But then the church people and the global warming people can hold hands and sing kumbaya while spreading the crown virus to each other waiting for Trump to nuke the ice caps just so Jesus can come back with his band and rock them all to Oblivion or Beyond.

    But Anywhoo...
    Still have hope for Tulsi and Yang.
    Yeah Yang walked away.
    He did the math.
    And the math says that his type of thinking and even speaking style and personality but more importantly his character is gonna be missed.
    Then the math will be right again.
    And the Dems are gonna need someone who can give you the right answer quickly.
    And who always shows his work when asked for a proof.
    Unlike almost everyone else in this business.
    That's why the people and even the party will pull him back in. Just when he thought he was out.

    Your posts are quite the adventure, rube. They have it all, ups, downs, twists & turns. I'd rate this post as better than Season 8 of Game of Thrones, but not quite as good as Season 7.

    Wow...stilted, narrow minded, provincial thinking in the most part that taken element by element, is the underlying problems of the system currently.
    Sprinkling it with undeniable, obvious "self evident "bits here and there doesn't hide the tunnel vision aspects of it.
    OBEY.

    If you're able to criticize it that strongly, you must have been able to make sense of it.
    So you're doing better than me.
