If you want to add to the community, then explain, as best you can, why it’s better to support someone who still denies, with no evidence, the results of a lawful election in 2020; someone who took classified information that didn’t belong to him to his private residence and _refused efforts by law enforcement to get those documents returned_; and someone who has pledged to use the power of the federal government for retribution; over a Democratic candidate.

Got any women in your life? How do they feel about your support of such repugnant policies? Taking rights away from women is no way to support the women you love.

Of course, I’m a woman so I’m sure my opinion means nothing.

You didn’t feel bad for him at all. Fuck off until you can manage being honest.

The best I can say about 2020 is that I don’t know who won. Thats not saying Biden lost or Trump won. Thats saying that I can’t tell, given that our election systems for the most part are not transparent nor auditable.

And the same goes for 2016, even though I could tolerate the results better.

Setting aside disagreement with the premise, which policies specifically?

Reproductive care, mainly. But project 25 has ideas about women not having the right to vote, especially if they are unmarried and childless. Even worse if they like cats.

People who like overtime pay should know that project 25 eliminates that. Trump wants police to have absolute immunity. That should scare the shit out of everyone.

That’s just a taste. There’s so much more, but I’m tired of pretending you’re asking in good faith.

Why are we playing with this piece of shit? Once they’ve declared that they aren’t here honestly, it’s over.

Then you live in a fantasy world, and this board probably isn’t the best place for you. We prefer to reside in reality, in which zero evidence was presented to any court of law that suggests even a small chance the 2020 election results were not completely accurate.

All people have the right to keep their reproductive systems healthy and well. productive.

I’ve never read project 25.

My critique of the 19th Amendment is that it stopped short of full equality. It should have tied the vote to draft eligibility.

Wage and price controls by governments usually don’t work out. I’m for deregulating that. Sweden, Norway and Denmark don’t have minimum wage laws. They let the unions work out what fair pay is. That is more market driven and I’m good with that.

Police, well there are 2 sides to that coin. Police need to be accountable. I’m not for a police state at all. On the other hand, civilization depends on some fear of consequences for unwelcome behavior and having someone hand them out is necessary. Tough one here.

I’d like to suggest that anyone who wants to continue this discussion with @GulfTiger should move it to another thread. I even made one for you.

I’m not a pit mod, i just thought folks would like to keep the generic trolling thread for shorter discussions, and this discussion has the potential to get lengthy.

This thread:

> Turn off Fox news and pay attention to the real world. Elections in the USA are, in fact, transparent and auditable. If you truly don’t know who won then you have either been brainwashed or are trolling for outrage. Either way your best bet here is to keep away from your keyboard and just read.

**Jackson99** is giving off **sweat209** vibes in the Biology and Medicine thread. sweat209 was the poster who constantly started threads about why didn’t we have stuff from Star Wars and why didn’t we have cures for all cancers, liver failure, and biowarfare.

Both posters have a complete inability to understand statistics, medicine, and progress, and keep posting the same poorly understood citations without reading or acknowledging other posters’ efforts.

Is that the same person that was asking those odd drawing/art questions weeks ago? It reads similarly, but I thought they were banned.

Jackson’s latest about the Catholic church reads like a 5-year old penned it.

4-year-old.

They’re also an expert on the population densities and residential building styles of Canadian cities that they’ve never visited and know nothing about.

Someone should put them out of their misery.
