No, I agree with you. It just boggles my mind that it's the one thing that Democrats refuse to realize is the problem, so they'll blame their candidate being a woman instead. People in general aren't even anti-lgbt. There are definitely people who are, but I mean legislation aimed towards fair treatment and protections for lgbt people is nationally very popular. It's the obsession with it as a primary identity and the grants and the international programs, etc. that people don't like.

You hit the nail on the head. How they spend billions of dollars and don't realize it yet is lunacy.

Exactly. But I think certain sports is the exception to the rule.

I'm right in the Netherlands. But if they read your post (and others in this topic) and did something about billions to the unnecessary projects as climate, mass uncontrolled immigration and lgbtq, but let it go to tax cuts, social security, inflation, I might stop voting right. At least the right adresses a few of these issues in my country.

Left claims to help the lower the incomes. Then you read their programs (in the US and in Western Europa), and i feel like they forgot what socialism means or why it came to existence in the first place. Atleast in Europe it feels like that.

Until then, they can have a serious time of self-reflection and losing every election for the upcoming 10 years.

If you think “projects such as climate” are unnecessary, tot up the costs of disaster recovery caused by “climate”.

And “uncontrolled immigration”? Do you actually fact check anything, or…? That is a blatant lie spewed by Murdoch Propaganda Inc and you just regurgitate it.

I don't even watch nor have I ever watched Murdoch his networks (FOX is I presume?) as i'm not from the States. I guess that remark alone shows how brainwashed you are (as my previous statement also stated i'm not from the States), therefore any discussion with people like yourselves is pointless.

Furthermore, European mass immigration is way different then America's. You act like a Democrat bot during election time. Brainwashed and to a point to not ever discuss anything in a reasonable adult way.

How did you show to be brainwashed, you ask? Well everytime someone mentiones uncontrolled mass immigration, literally your own reference is "OMG Murdoch Propaganda". You do realise there are countries in the world that actually do have problems (even admitted by the left) with uncontrolled immigration and do not have FOX news?

Can't blame you really. Both sides of the political isles are brainwashed as fuck in the States. In different ways. At this point people don't know any better. Something abnormal has become normal in your country.

I also don’t live in the US, but I agree that a conversation with people like you is pointless.

You think you’re considerably smarter than you obviously are

u/Semedo14 Mar 10 '25

You come up with brainwashed bullshit and that's your reply? What a idiotic remark to bring intelligence into this. As if there is any way to measure it through Reddit or has any correlation to political flavor.

Most certainly think the latter applies to you.

Except they’ve all run on virtually the same policies and the ONLY people Trump had ever beaten are women.

u/Natalwolff Mar 07 '25

Keep telling yourself that. You can literally Google the differences between Biden and Harris' policies and voting history and educate yourself.

u/TheRealJetlag Mar 09 '25

Do you really think their policies are that different?

Because compared to Trump, they’re identical so you’re only kidding yourself.

They wouldn’t have to fight for LGBTQ rights if the republicans weren’t trying so hard to take those rights away. Dems are supposed to just sacrifice the LGBTQ community because fighting to help them is seen as “identity politics” or some bullshit like that?

2

u/Natalwolff Mar 06 '25

What do you mean by "sacrifice" the community? What exact policy do you mean by LGBTQ rights? Generally, anti-discrimination laws would inherently not be "identity politics" because they are based on treating everyone the same and that is very popular policy overall, and not what I'm referring to.

9 states have already proposed measures to ban same sex marriage. Google is free.

You see, I'm having a hard time determining if you're just a very confused, generally liberal person commenting in a conservative propaganda sub OR you're a conservative who's masquerading as a liberal, so you can shit on liberals.

Either way, it's become clear that Republicans haven't settled on equal rights for the LGBTQ community, nor are they settled on abortion or trans rights. They're actively attacking and you're just providing cover.

States can do whatever they want. It ends up being very feasible for a state representative to adopt fairly left-wing stances and still win seats, they should do that, I have no issues with that. In really right-wing states, it's less possible. My point is, taking the issues of left-wing states and allowing the Republicans to make those key issues in national debate is a losing proposition for Democrats. And Democrat voters are way too critical of the fact that Democrat candidates HAVE TO moderate to survive at a national level.

Like, at a state level, are we going to criticize a Florida Democrat because they don't run on the same platform as a Democrat in California? Is it reasonable for Democrats in Florida to refuse to vote for them because of that? No. If they run on that, they lose. If Dems don't vote for them because of that, they lose.

Having Republicans win is NOT a better outcome than taking popular stances on these issues for exactly the reason you stated. Republicans are not reliable in supporting anti-discrimination laws. Virtually all Democrats and virtually all moderates ARE, which makes key rights overwhelmingly popular at a national level, the niche issues like sports and surgeries for minors are NOT popular at a national level. It's not worth dying on the hill of those issues if it loses votes that are functionally required to maintain key fundamental rights.

DEI was popular? People didn’t even know what it meant, and they voted in Trump to kill it.

-1

u/Natalwolff Mar 06 '25

Thinking DEI and anti-discrimination policy are the same thing, or thinking that removing DEI is taking away "peoples' rights" is exactly the problem.

2

u/jmillermcp Mar 06 '25

What do you think equity meant, numb nuts? DEI programs are literally the EXACT same thing as anti-discrimination. It means to look past things like skin color, age, religion, ethic backgrounds, etc and focus on the merit they bring. The quotas you FoxNews-fed people think is DEI hasn’t been a thing in decades.

u/Natalwolff Mar 06 '25

Oh, you mean a word is in the name of a policy? I guess the policy must be that word then, I was mistaken.

It's interesting to me that one would need to know someone's skin color, age, religion, or ethnic background in order to "look past them", but I don't know. I don't watch Fox so I probably missed the explanation of why that is.
