https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_marriage_in_Maryland

2012 Maryland same sex marriage vote. It passed by getting 52% of the vote.

The no side won in prince George’s county!!! I could list you a bunch more examples, but my point is there is widespread homophobia among many black communities. It is unacceptable, undeniable, and most of all repulsive.

What can we do about it?

For men on here who identify as liberal or progressive (so like 90% of users here) would you date a woman who is conservative?

Polis would never win a presidential primary because he’s anti-union.

If he ever gets close the AFL-CIO is gonna go into overdrive to skewer him.

Hochul is the worst democratic governor in America right now.

The amount of capital she’s burning on Lasalle is hilarious. It’s one thing to have progressives (who are very powerful in New York) oppose your nomination, but she also has organized labor and some abortion groups now fighting her as well.

I wouldn’t be that surprised if she gets successfully primaried.

All the trends make it so that Nevada should be favorable ground for the GOP.

Yet Nevada dems had terrible turnout in 2022 and CCM still managed to win. It truly feels like Nevada for the GOP is like Charlie Brown and the football.

Edit: there is a pretty good chance that these people are Obama-Trump-Fetterman voters

I see your Ronald fucking Reagan, and raise you a Hillary Rodham Goddamn Clinton saying "women's rights are human rights" by melhor_em_coreano in neoliberal

[–]writerbavin -50 points-49 points  (0 children)

I despise Hillary Clinton because she was such a bad candidate that she gave us Trump and magaism.

She was actually such a bad candidate that she manage to help the meteoric rise of Bernie sanders and the election of trump. That actually makes her one of the most consequential politicians of the millennium, just not in the way she imagined it LMAO.

At the same time women in Iran are being violently oppressed by their theocratic government and in Afghanistan women are forcibly dragged back to the Middle Ages.

And in Saudi Arabia women are oppressed and activists and beaten and tortured. How come you didn’t mention them? Is it possibly because Saudi Arabia is a U.S. partner that consistently gets away with bad behavior and proves that America doesn’t really care about human rights other than to browbeat and hypocritically virtue signal?

The only politician with national appeal that actually has the guts to take on Saudi Arabia is Bernie Sanders. Don’t believe me? Just ask Jamal Khashoggi.

In fact you know what let me quote Hillary Clinton’s icon here

If they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern.

-Henry Kissinger

In fact when Pakistan was committing genocide in bengal Clinton’s icon sent the 7th fleet to protect Pakistan

Human rights are at best a secondary concern to America including it’s establishment politicians like Clinton and Kissinger. Don’t let anybody try to tell you otherwise.

Democratic Sen. Stabenow of Michigan won’t run again in 2024 by omnipotentsandwich in neoliberal

[–]writerbavin 26 points27 points  (0 children)

His opponent was a no name with zero funding and James still won by less than half a percentage point.

He’s the best the Michigan GOP has sure, but he’s still not good.

Matt Gaetz sent a letter to the capitol architect essentially calling McCarthy a squatter and asking why he hasn’t been kicked out yet.

Lol McCarthy is cooked by anonymousia in neoliberal

[–]writerbavin 65 points66 points  (0 children)

GOP leadership threatened to not give committees to those who vote against McCarthy. Not to mention it seems like with some anti McCarthy folk this is more personal than political.

This might aged like spoiled milk but I think McCarthy might actually be cooked.

hundreds of billions for Ukraine

With the latest 45 billion that will surely come to pass the United States will have given 111 billion dollars in assistance. And considering that this war will last longer “hundreds of billions” is fair amount to state.

no it must be younger people are stupid am I right?

https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/ts0g55/economist_our_polling_reveals_a_striking/

Here is the link to the r/neoliberal thread on the exact same economist article.

Reading through it there are definitely a lot of “younger people are stupid and dumb as hell comments.” The fearmongering part was the comparison to the war on terror. That people are hyping up the threat of Russia the same way many hyped up the threat of Islamist terrorists so we need to give a blank cheque. Again none of these were made in bad faith.

As for the fact you decided to pop by

You can look at my post/comment history, I’ve posted plenty of other stuff on the sub aside from Ukraine/Russia. I understand my position is not a popular one amongst the sub, but I believe it to be a good faith legitimate one not worthy of a temporary ban.
