Really jingling those keys to try and draw attention away from the files, isn’t he?

To the benefit of all our adversaries.

I remember when I wanted to work for Google.

Again, Dems and any other party besides Conservatives hold 0 power here

What state?

Missouri

Missouri’s 1st Congressional District. Democrat. Gg ez

He died of natural causes in his home, probably after living a comfortable life.

Maybe there’s an afterlife where he has to make up for his sins. Otherwise…

I get that’s what Democrats claim to do. But that’s just capitalist propaganda.

Are you still in high school?

The ACA is a great example, instead of actually making healthcare a human right it just further entrenched the power of insurance companies.

Surely you remember the original concepts of the ACA before Republicans gutted it? And if you were alive and using health insurance as an adult before the ACA, surely you understand why it’s better than the system before it.

Democrats love the orphan crushing machine that is capitalism just as much as Republicans do. They just pretend to be nicer about it.

You sure both sides are as bad as each other here?

What state?

They hold no local positions then? No governors or anything?

What seats do third parties hold in your state?

“chat gippidy, tell me how to read between the lines.”

if she had won, you would be praising her as a visionary over Hilary or kamala

If she had won, it would have been a full term of getting obstructed by both the Democrats and Republicans, because her inexperienced party has 0 representation in the House and the Senate.

Fairy tale land thinking she would make any difference as the President without first having green party reps in lower government.

Democrats are being paid by the same people as Republicans,

Citizens United works in mysterious ways

Democrats spend their term trying to clean up Republican mistakes, and then get in trouble for not doing enough.

I don’t like either party, but you have the party that tried to minimize the AIDS epidemic vs the party that tried to get us universal healthcare (gutted into the ACA by McConnell and Ryan, but still).

It’s an easy choice. It’s not solving everything but it’s helping.

A good chunk of the political ads in my very red area are Republicans saying that “men are going to be using the women’s bathrooms” if the Democrats win. It’s definitely a topic that the right likes to talk about to distract from the economy burning down. “But the bathrooms! Women’s sports!” and the people over here gobble it up

“he made the white house beautiful again” didn’t you hear?

Your asking a trans woman to be an expert in something the vast majority of us are not. Your asking a minority to be an expert and a representivie of the community as a whole.

I’m replying to your comment as an open question for you or anyone else on the forum to respond to. Sorry for the confusion: the question is not only for you.

Delayed edit: I should have prefaced my original response to make this more clear and not make it seem like the pressure was on you. My bad.

please do your own research here.

I did, and then I asked a question on this forum after reading over conflicting answers from what I thought were decent sources and other forums.

This is a politics forum for conversation. It’s silly not to ask questions on a forum that any user on the thread can answer. That’s one of the prime benefits of the Internet - asking questions and conversing with people around the world while learning things.

Either way, thanks for providing the link.

Delayed edit: here’s the last article I pulled up that talked about potential bone density and neuro issues that were not yet studied enough.

https://politifact.com/article/2023/aug/28/puberty-blockers-the-facts-and-the-myths/

Actual question, not getting at anything here: how do puberty blocker effects reverse? Does it essentially make you a late bloomer if you stop taking them, or is some growth missed out on/skipped because you take them?

I’m seeing some people say that it pauses things and doesn’t cause any issues if someone goes off them, but I’m seeing other comments that it can negatively impact bone density. How does it not stunt puberty at all if it’s paused for a certain period of time?

It just seems dumb to put this much effort into standing against this when there’s so much more and bigger to stand against.

Why is this a trade off, in your eyes? Why can’t people do both, and why does not watching something count as effort when there’s more media out there right now than we could watch in our lifetimes?
