The Thread of Democrats

He is being treated as a serious contender.

Poor Uncle Joe. It's just painful to watch, bless his heart.

You know, he didn't sound mistaken in that clip talking about 150,000,000 people killed - he sounded certain and deliberate.

So his lucid moments aren't exactly a sympathy magnet.

Yeah, time and two brain aneurysms are catching up to him.

It's almost funny how desperately the DNC is trying to make someone - ANYONE - their frontrunner, just not BERNIE! (the frontrunner, as far as I can see)

[L'Emmerdeur]

Dem's just blocked the 'born alive' bill. It's uncanny how often the same tactic is used against them - push them to align with the furthest-left fringe of their party, then criticize them for being fringe.

There is already a law on the books, the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002 that easily passed through the US Congress. The bill that just failed to make it through the US Senate, and similar bills, are nothing but cynical publicity stunts by zealots who are trying to make abortion illegal again.

It appears that, as usual, you've got your material from heavily biased right-wing sources. The American College of of Obstetricians and Gynecologists opposes these bills, not because they're a 'left fringe' organization, but because the bills are an attempt to stigmatize medical care for women, and are essentially nothing but inflammatory rhetoric in the form of legislation.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) opposes the bill, saying in a statement to Rewire.News that it’s not based on evidence or medical science. The legislation “uses dangerous rhetoric that undermines the public trust in obstetrician-gynecologists, stigmatizes necessary health care for women, and callously disregards the tragedies and difficult decisions women and their families face,” the statement said.

...

Physicians say the Republican measure further stigmatizes abortion care. Sasse and some of the anti-abortion witnesses who testified before the committee said infants are often “born alive” after “botched abortions.” But that language does not depict medical reality. Dr. Kristyn Brandi, board chair of Physicians for Reproductive Health and OB-GYN, told Rewire.News that proponents of S.311 are trying to scare and mislead people.

“These terms are insulting to doctors that provide compassionate care to their patients​ and to the patients receiving care,” Brandi said. “More importantly, they are insulting to the real-life experiences of families that need this care. What this bill does is create a vehicle for false narratives and inflammatory language around abortion ​built to further stigmatize abortion care and the patients needing it.”

Not that I don't appreciate your efforts to promote right wing lies and misinformation.

Yes, of course.

Their attacks will work, too. Mainly because (though I am ALL one-sided about the basic question) most people won't acknowledge their position, as it is horrible and ugly.

(honestly, I think any other position is horribler and uglier, but that speaks to reality, not to these political tactics)

See, their usual attack now, is to force the left to defend their most ludicrous fringe ideals. It's been working very well.

It appears that, as usual, you've got your material from heavily biased right-wing sources.

Yes, I listen to the other side.

I would be shocked if I learned that all you listened to were sources which were approved by facebook, twitter and other large corporate interests.

But it IS shocking to me how ignorant a lot of 'Dem fans' are, with regards to their opponents.

Especially outside their personal spheres.

Not that I don't appreciate your efforts to promote right wing lies and misinformation.

I don't think you do. You can dismiss me as 'right-wing', without even knowing my position. (centrist or slightly left is now decreed by the loudest lefties as 'far-right')

You might think I agree with the Reps on this - I don't.

Should Planned Parenthood be defunded? Yup.
Should states choose their abortion law instead of feds? Yup.

Should women be allowed to have abortions at will? Yup. No restrictions.

So it isn't as simple as 'pro or con', but if the Republicans can force the issue to be 'yes or no', then crowd the Dems into their most 'fringe position' on this, they win the popularity contest.

You just have to pull out that fetus out in one piece now. It will be to premature to survive in most cases.

The Texas senator tried to pick a fight after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out Mike Pence’s coronavirus credentials

Sen. Cruz, while I understand you judge people’s intelligence by the lowest income they’ve had, I hold awards from MIT Lincoln Lab &others for accomplishments in microbiology.

Secondly, I’m surprised you’re asking about chromosomes given that you don’t even believe in evolution. https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1233130604436369409 …

[Cunt]

The dems will tear each other apart, no need for Cruz to step in. Heck, even Trump wins at their debates by simply not showing up lol

You missed a rebuttal here! God made that Y gene for Ted Cruz. God thinks of everything, including viruses:

I don't follow most twitter links. I'm sure it's very convincing though.

What is the 'ludicrous fringe ideal' that Democrats are supposedly being forced to defend?

Yes, I listen to the other side.

That is abundantly clear. As I said, I appreciate the assiduous effort you put into schlepping handfuls and bucketloads of sloppy bovine excreta here for the site's edification.

I don't think you do. You can dismiss me as 'right-wing', without even knowing my position. (centrist or slightly left is now decreed by the loudest lefties as 'far-right')

Who am I to question your self-proclaimed political orientation, o my lefty brother.

Where would you guess I would come up on the political compass test? I don't mind if you think I'm far-right, but you have to start a more useful scale...

Can you tell me yours? Maybe by giving me a few examples of far right, a few regular right, a few centrists, a few regular left, and a few far left.

Because the usual scale seems to leave you confused...
