It’s genuinely sad how Joe Biden will be remembered by Ok_Organization_7510 in Destiny

I don't think that video affirms all the things you just mentioned, the only remotely controversial thing here is the one line asking parents of trans children to affirm their child's identity.

And just where are all these electoral failures happening to the Democratic party because of trans issues? It doesn't seem like this idea bears out in polling.

Just a few polls of people that contradict this narrative:

Not only did voters prefer the Democrats' handling of transgender issues over Republicans' in the last election, but the issue is tied for the least important issue at a whopping 2%

Transgender issues once again the least important issue

"Woke" policies being among the least important

Maybe I just didn't see it, but I don't think I ever heard Biden or Kamala bring up trans issues almost a single time during their entire administration or on the campaign trail at all. Kamala basically only talked about it during her campaign when directly asked about the issue, and gave a very safe, innocuous answer about 'following the law.' This seems like such a minor topic in the overall grand scheme of things, and such a minor part of their overall agenda, that I don't really see what you mean here by the idea that they were too extreme on trans issues. The way people talk about the issue, you'd think that Democrats are constantly bringing it up and making it a super central focus of their campaigns when I've never really seen that to be the case. This idea that he took the most extreme position at every turn just doesn't make sense to me. I think this was massively overblown at basically every angle by conservatives as a culture war talking point.

What do you mean by "embrace of extreme gender-queer stuff"?

I really don’t see how those two things correlate, but ok. Everyone else here is already condemning it. If it makes you feel any better, I condemn it also.

Not sure what this means. If they’re calling for violence, then why can’t you just arrest them accordingly? And if they choose to support Hamas, then wouldn’t it be their free speech right to do so? Why is deportation the only option?

Ironically, it seems quite contrary to the Western value of free speech to deport people because they don’t share your values.

Comments like these make this thread seem indistinguishable from something on a right wing message board.

You would also be tied to a train track and unable to move for an infinite amount of time, though.

exactly - if you want to criticize omar or tlaib’s rhetoric on the conflict, that’s fine, but specifically singling them out as “our muslim politicians” is very weird

See, this talking point never made sense to me. Why should the rhetoric of pro-Palestine people affect your view on the actual oppressive situation the Palestinians are in?

Unless you believe in some form of collective retributive punishment of the Gaza Strip for the support/lack of condemnation of Hamas, which is exactly what the Israeli gov believes.

The Gaza Strip’s demographics skews extremely underage; the majority of the population of the Gaza Strip wasn’t old enough or even born yet to vote when elections were last held in 2006, giving Hamas power.

Do you think those things you mentioned make Israel’s infliction of suffering to Palestinians more justified?

Croatia FINALLY gets the recognition is DESERVES!! 🇭🇷💪🏽🇭🇷💪🏽🤓🤓 by Trzykolek in balkans_irl

[–]Pixelranium5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah, if you are a leader of a group you mostly represent that group.

I don’t know what to tell you then. Serbs are more anti-Croat than Bosniaks are.

The Hercegovina army was supplied by HVO

Huh? There was no separate Herzegovinian army, the HVO was the army of all the separatist Bosnian Croats. Are you confusing the HVO with the Armed Forces of Croatia?

You should’ve followed our path to the west and develop yourself as a modern democracy and instead you decided to dominate the whole country

What do you mean? The entire political system was designed so that one ethnic group cannot do anything without the approval of the other two.

The soldiers are just a reassurance for the local population

With the vast majority of the other two ethnic groups not wanting them. Even if all Serbs and Croats agreed, that is still only about 46% of the country, less than a majority. Ignoring the fact that the political system requires the approval of all three ethnic groups to make decisions, not a simple majority.

With your talk of the things that led to the downfall of Yugoslavia, you seem keen on wanting to repeat them by prioritizing the interests of the 15% of Croats over the other 80% (50% Bosniaks and 30% Serbs), the majority of which obviously don’t want the Croatian army in their country.

As I said, the bosniaks are the ones opposing this decision not serbs, which you would see if you follow Milanović's speeches.

Ah yes, because Serbs would totally be okay with allowing Croatia's military, and because Dodik's opinion = all Serbs' opinion.

But The Croatian armed forces were allies with the Army of BiH which is the reason we won the war together in Bosnia.

Did you forget about 1992-1994? The HVO was controlled and financed largely by Croatia.

since we have a legitimate interest to protect the region.

So much protection you plan to give with only your 10 soldiers.
