Thank goodness she shared her pronouns, I never would have been able to tell if his running mate was female without that twitter bio. eyeroll

On a serious note, this just fucking sucks. I was hoping he'd pick someone who wasn't on the trans train, but it seems he picked one of the train conductors. Of course I'm hardly surprised, since he himself says "there are at least three [genders]".

Tbh these people don’t believe in anything related to TRA

They don’t believe in anything actually

Copmala has been promoting BLM but was literally a prosecutor and built her entire career by locking black people behind bars

These people believe in nothing and say what is necessary, that is all

I agree, but I was hoping he'd pick one of the ones who DON'T do that.

Why? Biden is a monster and likely a sociopath, his only ideology is neoliberalism so he picked another neoliberal. Kamala Harris was the obvious choice from the DNC’s perspective so that’s who he went with. Someone who’s “woke” but also a vicious enemy to the working class and non-whites the second you scratch a drop off that shiny coat of paint neolibs spray on.

Biden's a fucking pedophile. There were lots of copies of an incredibly creepy video of him molesting girls IN FRONT OF THEIR PARENTS. You can see some of the gifs on joebiden.info (don't know anything else about that site) but quite something how they managed to get all those videos on youtube taken down, or hidden at least.

"Molesting girls" - by touching their hair? You don't know the depths of depravity that pedophiles go to.

[–]raslyana 27 insightful - 1 fun27 insightful - 0 fun28 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

No he molests them by touching their chests, some of the girls move their bodies out of the way, some try to brush him away. Yes, my uncle was a pedophile thanks very much.... Like, what the fuck, am I on a fucking feminist website or not? Is it just a knee jerk partisan thing? Trump is shit too, sorry for not disclaiming?

No one seems to care about Tara Reede anymore either. Remember when all the democrats used to yell that if their candidate was accused of assault like Trump or Kavenaugh, that they would instantly drop them, doesn’t matter who’s side? Well now we have our own white rapist dementia patient and here we are in the exact same “fall in line” boat the republicans are in

[–]BEB 9 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 0 fun10 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It just shows the misogyny of the US that a credible charge of sexual assault against a presidential candidate is sort of swept under the rug by people who call themselves Progressive as long as the candidate is a Progressive.

I went to the Women's March specifically to protest Trump's contempt and possible sexual assault of women, and went to anti-Kavanagh rallies, but now just have to wonder if the other people at those rallies are demanding that the allegations against Biden be investigated.

It just proves that at the end of the day, women's issues mean very little to either party and we have to fight for ourselves.

Honestly, you have to hear yourself. You are enabling Trump. You did this in 2016 too based on your sickening misogyny. YOUR BOT-BASED BOTHSIDESISM IS A VOTE FOR TRUMP. A sociopath who has just let hundreds of thousands of Americans die. My contempt for your fake socialism — I happen to be a real one — couldn’t be greater.

We will never have anything close to socialism in the US. For one thing because both parties are the WAR parties, and we will never have a real social safety net, or universal health care, much less decent schools and roads, if we continue to spend a huge percentage of our dollars on endless wars.

Obama bombed Yemen and destroyed Libya. Both Bushes attacked Iraq. Clinton and Serbia. Johnson and Vietnam. Nixon and Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Trump assassinating Soleimani in an attempt to goad Iran into war, Trump and Syria, and continuing the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc., and ad nauseam.

I agree that Donald Dump is a sociopath and is heavily responsible for the insane number of COVID deaths in the US, but the US elects a sociopath almost every time we elect a president.

To add, wars pretty much destroy the rights of the women under our bombs, as well as their safety, so I think judging a candidate by the likelihood of if they will get us into war is compatible with feminism.

[–]SheSellsSeaShells 13 insightful - 1 fun13 insightful - 0 fun14 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No, Biden is genuinely a monster, and if you’re a socialist you’d recognize he’s as much a part of the capitalist creeping death machine as Trump.

[–]yishengqingwa666 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

LOL, uh huh.

At least Trump knows that women are real and not a feeling in a man's head.

More of a monster than Trump? Fucking please. I did NOT want Harris as the VP pick, but then again I didn't want Biden. However, records do show that Harris has voted much more progressively than most people assume (I believe she voted around 93% in line with Bernie, for any other progressives here). And more importantly, neither Biden nor Harris will pack the SC with anti-choice shills. RBG is hanging on by a thread. We NEED a democrat as POTUS.

I don't know if you're paying attention to the trans demands cases in front of the Supreme Court, but the Democratic-appointed judges including Bader Ginsburg, do not appear to be GC feminists. It's really sad given that she has done so much for women's rights.

So yeah, we might keep abortion rights, but the Democratic-pushed Equality Act, and the Democratic SCOTUS judges, might strip almost every other right away from women. As well as our ability to go to the gym without worrying about our naked bodies being used as live porn by some AGP in the women's locker room.

[–]stitchedlamb 14 insightful - 1 fun14 insightful - 0 fun15 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

It's not "might keep abortion rights", we WILL keep our right to body autonomy. Abortion is already incredibly difficult to access in some southern states, our rights are bleeding away now, not in some nebulous future where the SC is full of TRAs.

I haven't been able to keep up with the trans demands Supreme Court (SCOTUS) cases, but there were a few that will directly affect women's rights if ruled in favor of the transgender side. One has been ruled on, and GC feminists are divided on whether the result was good for women.

IIRC there are two cases still in front of the Supreme Court, and the rulings will have a significant impact on whether women can be considered a distinct legal category. That will affect our reproductive rights, because if the legal definition of "woman", includes women plus everyone who thinks they're a woman, it will mean women's share of the healthcare funding pie has to be shared with TIMs; it means that abortion has to share the spotlight with other new women's health issues like prostate cancer and it means that it will be very hard to write laws tailored to women's specific needs.

The trans demands lobby is also attacking women's rights on the legislative side with the full backing of the Democratic party. If the Democratic-backed Equality Act, which every single Democrat in Congress supports, and Joe Biden calls his Number One legislative priority, is signed into law, women as a distinct legal category will cease to exist, and the many of the laws written to protect women's rights on the basis of sex will be cast into limbo. Gays too.

So it's not about the Democrats putting TRAs on the Supreme Court - they're already there. Kagan, Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and some of the other justices, sympathize with trans demand activism too.

tl;dr women can't fight for our rights, including our reproductive rights, if we can't define ourselves as a distinct legal category.

The Democrats are trying their best to destroy women as a distinct legal category and Democratic-appointed judges already on the Supreme Court are TRA sympathizers.

As well, the Democrats are attacking women's rights legislatively.

tl;dr tl;dr Women are screwed no matter who wins.

I don’t think a blue nuke blowing up Iran, Russia, or China is better than a red nuke doing it

I don’t think a blue cop bashing my brains in is better than a red cop doing it

I don’t think a blue private firm gutting my wages is better than a red private firm doing it

I don’t choose a side because I won’t accept the elites’ demand that I submit to war, fascism, and poverty

LOL, are you a russian bot? You want four more years of Trump? It is to laugh, the absurdity.

[–]JoeDzhugashvili 15 insightful - 1 fun15 insightful - 0 fun16 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Russian bot

Four more years of Trump

No, this is just a spectacle, I have no interest in participating

Both parties support increasing military aggression with Russia and China therefore putting us on a footing for an apocalyptic war (as demonstrated by your immediate accusation that not pledging loyalty to the Democratic Party makes me a “Russian bot” or means I want four more years of Trump)

Both parties are more or less guaranteed to “solve” the economic crisis by just...cutting some taxes doing a shit ton more stimulus, committing brutal austerity, and funneling more power to a select few monopolies

The choice of Kamala Harris specifically makes it clear Biden intends to be entirely as brutal in response to the current BLM movement as Trump has been, given Harris’s built up political career in prosecuting and jailing poor and working class people; the only difference is that this brutal crackdown will now be immune to criticism unlike with Trump

Considering the political fiasco of the last four years I have no faith that the Democratic Party aren’t equally as likely to institute some form of dictatorship in the not-so distant future, among them a conspiracy theory fostered by the US intelligence agencies to simultaneously increase tensions on a foreign rival and depose a domestic political opponent. It looks to me, as a leftist who has no stake in a fight between two far-right liberal parties, that America’s inevitable path is either some fascistic dictatorship, civil war, or collapse; what’s most baffling is the near total lack of difference between either party when the media spotlit political theatre is torn away to reveal the actions and backers of each.

The American political system has already told you you either get a Red Trump or a Blue Trump as it were, if you go along with their demands you’re basically accepting the sorry state of affairs we’re in. Don’t accept it.

[–]BEB 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I agree that we shouldn't discount an apocalyptic war in the near future. Elements of both parties have been jonesing for an attack on Iran for decades.

But I don't think the Democratic party as it is today would institute a dictatorship. They're not that far gone. For that matter, I don't think the GOP would either.

However, the slow creep of totalitarianism by the Far, Far Left, (as evidenced by Trans, Inc.) combined with Trump and his cult's desire for Trump to be Dictator for Life means that we in the middle have to be on guard.

[–]JoeDzhugashvili 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

The Democrats as they exist today would totally institute a dictatorship, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the ultimate proof of this. For the past four years the Democrats have heavily increased tensions with Russia abroad (whom we already had heightening tensions with due to the Donbass Proxy War) while also creating a vast conspiracy theory to attack their political enemies at home, up to the point of trying to unseat the sitting administration with assistance from the CIA and FBI. Perhaps for elements of the middle or upper middle class whose livelihoods are tied to this struggle for power between the GOP and DNC all of this is incredibly vital, but for me, as a working class person this is terrifying. Both parties are more or less angling for a dictatorship of some form in the near future, were this not the case the DNC wouldn’t have anointed the most far-right nominees in the entire DNC primary as their candidates, both of these candidates are well known for helping to build the modern police-state, Biden himself was sinisterly involved in arming and funding neo-nazis in Ukraine during the proxy war with Russia under the Obama administration. Like, this shit is pretty bad. I have no clue what the working class is meant to gain here, from the man that created so many of the draconian drug laws of the 1980s that ruined so many lives, and the woman that raised the conviction rates in Cali as a DA by over 25%.

I think pointing a finger at Trump as the ultimate evil that demands ultimate submission to the DNC is a mistake. When does this ever end? Let’s say we “save the world” by making Joe Biden president in 2020, what then about 2024? We have to do it again? And then in 2028? Forever? And yet every single year each party will be worse? What then when the democrats in the future are the republicans now (though I’d say beyond rhetoric they’re hardly very different)? I promise you the people that control both parties won’t hesitate to exterminate the working class when the time comes, when the economy tumbles for good or the ecosystem goes kaput the curtains will finally fall and the ugly truth of everything will come out in the open. And let me tell you, the DNC and the people that own them are every bit as ruthless, merciless, and without remorse as the other party; these people Have regularly killed children and felt nothing, those children just happen to be overseas or poor.

I'm with you on a lot of this. My job used to involve paying attention to events both in the US and overseas, and that meant paying attention to politics. The political landscape globally is very sinister, and seems somewhat interconnected, at least to some extent. I'm still trying to figure out what is happening, even though I'm not sure anyone can.

The rise of gender ideology is very deliberate. If we can't even describe ourselves in the most basic biological terms, how can we make sense of the world around us.

As I keep saying, some GC feminists are saying that the end goal of gender ideology is transhumanism, and, I can see how, with the rise of automation, which will take most jobs by 2030 or so, humans might become "Useless Eaters" to the 0.01% and what you describe might happen.
