What exactly is the democratic party going to stand for in 2026 and 2028?

You need to be less concerned about "Basic Human Rights" as a foil for whatever you want, and a little more concerned about running government well when you win a campaign. If I wanted morality police, I'd go live in a middle eastern country. But I don't. I want federal/state/local governments that are efficient, common sense policies and government employees that stay within their defined charter. The government should only do what it is chartered to do, do it well, and don't do what it is not supposed to do. Got it? I don't give a crap about your color revolutions and social agendas. |

No, you’re still an idiot. California is a diverse state. Far left progressives were popular in San Francisco, Berkeley, and parts of Los Angeles. But most of the state leans moderate. San Francisco is understandably moving toward “law and order” candidates, but that’s a far cry from supporting Trumpism. Californians across all major population centers still support moderate Democrstic positions on the environment, reproductive freedom, gun control, and LGBT rights. But to reiterate my main point, you’re still an idiot. |

| Kamala barely won California. When the progressive Governor stood by the ocean and cried about no water for the fire department in Malibu, I laughed and snorted out loud. Trump was 100% right about Newsome and the nutjob progresssives out there. Progressives redirect all the ice melt from Vancouver to the Pacific Ocean for the fish who apparently need more water than the actual citizens living in the desert of Southern Cal |

In the 2024 Presidential Election in California, Kamala Harris won with 9,276,179 votes, representing 58.5% of the vote. Donald Trump received 6,081,697 votes, which accounted for 38.3
Note that it is illegal to ask for voter ID in California. Make of these results what you will. Trump also flipped 10 counties in California in 2024 in Harris' home state. He flipped 4 counties in Waltz' Minnesota in 2024. Biden was so horrible, he made the map worse for the Democrats |

Sex and genitalia is a huge part of public safety, and it's actually more of what Democrats ever talk about including to 4 year olds. People do not want their kids to be molested or attacked by some weirdo in a dress. I know gay men who are voting Republican because they think the elevation of trans when they had to fight for 60 years for rights is a bit too much. It's not even necessarily trans that is the problem. It's the gender erasure that is a problem. When any man can lie and claim to be trans to have access to girls locker rooms, bathrooms, pools, or prisons, that is problematic. |

It's also saddening when puberty blockers are government/state covered but IVF is not covered by insurance. It's saddening when poisonous food dyes and high prescription drug prices are addressed by President Trump instead of the two previous Democrat presidents.
It's not discussed often enough that on some core issues (foreign and domestic), Trump is actually moving the Republican Party to the left. |

Now is the time democrats. We have to pass amnesty for 17,000,000 immigrants. We owe them this. It will never happen again!!!
Screw the deficit or budgets. Screw the US middle class. Focus on helping immigrants !!!!! The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission.” —Ted Kennedy, 1965 Immigration Bill (Hart-Celler) “This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this.” — Ted Kennedy on the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli Bill |

It's even sadder that men who want their own pair of breasts to fondle get full coverage for their breast implants, but female breast cancer victims can't get even partial coverage for reconstructive surgery. A woman's abusive husband can get full insurance coverage for "facial feminization" surgeries which amount to endless cosmetic procedures, but the woman whose face he beat in will have to come out of pocket to have her nose reconstructed. The greed and freeloading of the trans movement, the sex-based double standards while insisting sex doesn't exist, and the resulting burden on the rest of us to make do with less coverage and bear higher insurance costs is the aspect that turned me against that particular cause. |

Lets also talk about science advancing toward male uterus implants meanwhile childbirth is as gory and medieval as ever. Viagra is over the counter because God knows a 85 year old male needs sex, but birth control pills are not.There's a deeper conversation here beyond politics. It shows that men regardless of sexuality or identity are privileged over women. Nothing was ever accomplished for women and in fact, women are losing rights. Maternal mortality rates are increasing and wage gaps are also increasing despite women outpacing men in education. |

We are also clearly not ready for a woman president.
A gay man is probably likelier to become president than a woman. |

By law, reconstruction surgery after breast cancer must be covered. I've had several hundreds of thousands of dollars in reconstruction covered. |

Yes, women are losing rights. Notably the right to compete in sports with other women and the right to single sex prisons which is quite clearly in violation of UN human rights principles. |

Please keep talking. 😂😂😂 You keep demonstrating how out of touch you are with actual Californians every time you open your mouth. When was the last time you were even here? 1998? |

No, honey. Just no. Allow me to educate you on how America works for women who aren't white with generous insurance plans like you. First, the only federal law that potentially mandates coverage for breast cancer victims is the WHCRA. Only if the WHCRA applies might an insurance company even potentially be required to cover mastectomy and reconstruction under federal law. Otherwise, you're sh-t outta luck if you don't live in one of only a few states with expansive breast cancer coverage requirements. Second, all sorts of very common insurance plans are exempt from the WHCRA, including some government plans, religious orgs' plans, Medicaid, and Medicare. Third, the WHCRA does NOT require health plans or health insurance issuers to cover mastectomies at all. That's right. If an insurance plan opts not to cover mastectomies, it is NOT required to cover anything mastectomy-related such as reconstruction for women. Fourth, even if a health plan/insurance issuer opts to cover mastectomy, there are still exceptions under which it can decline coverage of reconstruction. Fifth, even if a health plan/insurance issuer covers both mastectomies and reconstruction, the fine print is key. Even women who "have coverage" are regularly left with out-of-pocket costs that are so high that they cannot afford reconstruction. Insurance companies can and do pull stunts like technically "covering" reconstruction, but then defining this narrowly to carve out all sorts of physical complications that women who aren't upper middle class with family help can't afford to pay for out of pocket. Again, this effectively denies coverage to women with such insurance plans. In comparison, men who claim to be trans enjoy absurd levels of drama-free full coverage for frivolities because they'll die from hearing the word no. I personally used to handle pro bono matters from a number of LGBTQ nonprofits before I decided these grifters don't need my services to be free with all the other free stuff they get. A typical matter would feature a "trans woman" on Medicaid because the same transgender identity that they claim is not a mental illness nonetheless entitles them to disability and Medicaid. I got really good at spotting the expensive work. There's nothing like having a man sitting in front of you with several hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cosmetic procedures from browbone shaving to lip filler to jaw surgery to lipo to BBLs to breast implants to cheekbone implants to laser hair removal to skin bleaching to even human hair wigs that cost $1,500 each and his next surgeries are already on the calendar. Meanwhile, he hasn't worked in years and he is being referred to me because a shelter "discriminated" against him by asking him to consider leaving in 90 days after he physically assaulted staff repeatedly and walked around with his penis out. Rapacious trans lobbyists and Democrats have put such ludicrous, excessive federal and state packages of "gender affirming" benefits for men who claim to be trans and taxpayers don't even know the half of it. |
