When the 60+ crowd are gone, the dems will be panicking as to how to run more progressive campaigns rather than resenting anyone whose marginally more left than a conservative 10 years ago. The republicans will be great though.[/quote]

What?  
The Dems will adjust.  They believe in civil rights, rule of law, making the environment sustainable, women's rights, abortion rights.

The R's used to believe in fiscally conservative policies, state's rights, and ending abortion.

Now, their main unifying policy (abortion) is off the list, and they no longer believe in state's rights or fiscally conservative policies.

Neither policy has a clear vision for foreign policy.

In 20 years, the D's have something to build on / build up / build towards.

The R's have dismantled the entire government, made the tax structure unsustainable, and totally eliminated our leadership position in foreign policy.  They've made us an unreliable partner and even have brought into question whether we have or support rule of law.

In what way are the R's in a better position to have an agenda for the future?[/quote]

They don't give an eff about women. They want men pretending to be women in women’s spaces. [/quote]

Actually Democrats have fought for women's rights through the decade, most importantly the right to choose.[/quote]

Oh how they’ve shifted - choosing to put delusional biological males in women’s/girl’s sports and locker rooms against the wishes of women. [/quote]

+1 dems throwing girls and women under several buses and then claiming to fight for women. They have no shame. [/quote]

And Donald Trump is pro-woman?  In what way.

Ask Ivana Trump, Stormy Daniels, Rosie O'Donnell or even his own daughter how he does on women's rights.  They won't have much good to say.[/quote]

Hilarious. A party against female genital mutilation and in favor of Title IX sports policy moves 180 degrees because of blind activism and must have "a cause".   :roll:

Yes, I'm sure climate change affects LGBTQIA++WTFBBQ disproportionately.  Got any other pearls of wisdumb for us?  :wink: [/quote]

Even more tiresome.   Start a thread for the 2 posters that are freaked out about the tiny number or trans people in this country.  Stop polluting all the threads as nauseum with your transphobia.[/quote]

Add phobia to get your way in an argument. Xenophobia. Transphobia. I'm senilemanphobic. [/quote]

You equate the issue of fairness in a tiny number or  women's sporting events because of of a small number of transgender athletes with the destruction of roe.  It is tiresome.  These problems are not in the same universe.

Have a discussion about transgender people but it has nothing do with the catastrophic loss of reproductive rights.

Obviously your purpose is just to distract from the disaster of overturning roe.   You simply can not do that.  That disaster happened.  The majority are aware of it.   The majority are not distracted by your lazy nonsense .[/quote]

Relegating women to second-class status to favor men affects 50% of the population. This is a foundational shift in belief and support for women. You can’t gaslight me into pretending this is anything other than a widespread adoption of an overtly misogynist belief and political structure designed to disenfranchise women. [/quote]

Women are so disenfranchised that anyone can join the group. And menstruation, child birth, hormones, and other unique things about being a woman are adopted by people who don't know what its like to be a woman and never will. No matter how many tampons they stick up their ass.  [/quote]

Okay, but you're really telling me that your strong belief that trans-women are not women makes you want to vote to close the door on the expansion of women's reproductive rights for the foreseeable future?  That's the part that seems a little messed up to me.  Can you clarify?[/quote]

DP, not worth the effort. That is not the person they say they are. [/quote]

You're probably right, but I know two people who are in this camp in real life.  And I really just don't get the eagle-eyed focus on this one small issue.  [/quote]

It's their excuse. Those people were always MAGA at heart. [/quote]
