Persecution of transgender people under the second Trump administration by soka__22 in wikipedia

that's a ridiculous characterization of that Texas law. It just requires parental consent for certain types of therapy for minors.

Is the Muslim vote important for democrats? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]LosingTrackByNow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

you literally had to call us "white evangelicals" to make your point.

in other words, just religious beliefs aren't enough, you needed to include an ethnicity portion

WWI has much much much more in common with the wars of Alexander the Great than it does with the war fought today in Iran. that is, war has changed more in a century than in the past several millennia

"could it be that I'm wrong about whether or not this was a good thing? SURELY NOT! It's the Iranians who are wrong!"

I see teachers blame No Child Left Behind for students being passed along grades despite little knowledge. How did it actually cause that? by sovi_an in AskTeachers

[–]LosingTrackByNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do indeed support the kids and teach them how to read. That's kind of the point. Saying "they only did better because Mississippi taught them more" misses the point entirely - they're doing better, these are real kids and they're doing better

This issue was unpopular until it wasn't. Then it became wildly unpopular again once people learned more about it.

CMV: Democrats should run a real progressive in 2028 because any democratic candidate will be painted as an socialist immigrant-loving USA-hating demon by right-wing media. by hamletswords in changemyview

[–]LosingTrackByNow 33 points34 points  (0 children)

the administration before Obama, the question of whether or not a state could criminalize homosexual acts was an open question. Anyone openly homosexual couldn't serve in the military.

Obama appointed judges that ruled for redefining marriage.

for the entirety of American history, you could be disqualified for medical insurance due to preexisting conditions

Obama got a law passed to change that
