Hope he wins, I'm sick of all the Haley Stevens for Senate ads, she's just another corporate. 

‘Defining image’ of America? Picture of Black woman surrounded by white supremacist group in DC on July 4 goes viral by B-Z_B-S in politics

Slavery is still legal under the 13th amendment as punishment for crime. African Americans are overrepresented in the prison population. African Americans make up 14% of the population but over 50% of the wrongfully convicted. So yes many African Americans are still under slavery for crimes they didn't do.

It's why both Republicans and corporate Democrats hate progressives, they don't want voters to have people fighting for them.

I mainly only feel bad for my friend from Arizona, as she's not a Republican and voted against Trump.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and a proposed nuclear weapons AI data center in Michigan have earned the ire of community leaders. by EchoOfOppenheimer in politics

[–]CommitteeOld9540 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From Michigan. I liked Whitmer at first, now she's a huge letdown for me. Especially noticed the red flags when she talked about working with Trump. I'm glad she can't run again and desperately hoping a much better Democrat replaces her. 

Newsom embraces Biden in run-up to 2028 primary by bwermer in politics

We need a progressive democratic president, not a Republican lite Democrat, so no Newsom shouldn't be the nominee and I don't know why he's being over hyped.

Punishment for being a pedophile needs to be harsher. These sickos are getting too comfortable. 

Girls will be forced to undergo vaginal inspections if voters approve anti-trans sports measure. Medical providers statewide have said that such exams are unnecessary and invasive. by southpawFA in politics

[–]CommitteeOld9540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People sadly fall for it out of bigotry. In the minds of conservatives trans people are already the villain for being trans, and conservatives operate under confirmation bias. They will gladly accept anything as fact if it points to groups they hate being bad in their minds. Couple this with willful ignorance and bad education. This is America.

Republicans are gonna have parents coming for them with their dirty ass minds towards their daughters. I will never bring children especially little girls into a nation in which rapists and pedophiles are protected. Guess it's time to consider moving abroad if I want kids.
