No, I wouldn't. you have no proof I would support Jim Crow.

Are saying infertile women are not really women because they can't make babies? SInce when is having babies the be-all and end-all of being female?
Accepting a fairy tale doesn't make it a reality, and only turns you into a very good sheeple.It matters none if you accept it.
Since 99% of my posts make Republicans Angry, I thought I'd do a post where I antagonize Democrats with hard, cold truths. Because it seems to me most of the Democrat discussion is "We weren't radical enough!"
So here is my list, 11 reasons why Democrats got their asses handed to them in 2024.
1) Joe Biden – completely and utterly screwed his party. It should have been evident to everyone around him that, at 81, he didn’t have the acuity or stamina to wage a campaign against Trump. He maybe never did, but the unique nature of the 2020 election gave him a pass. In 2020, he promised to be a transitional president. A second term never should have been in the cards.
In any event, Biden should have withdrawn after the 2022 midterms, and the Democrats did better than they deserved to because Trump insisted on extreme MAGA candidates for winnable races. A vigorous primary campaign would have tempered the steel of the eventual nominee.
2) Kamala Harris – In one aspect, it’s easy to be sympathetic; she had to hop in and pick up a ball that had been fumbled. That said, she was a poor candidate. She was a weak candidate in 2020 when she dropped out before the primaries, and she did little to distinguish herself as Vice President. But the Democrats were painted into a corner. Passing over her to pick someone more electable would have been seen as an insult to women and minorities. Additionally, there was the issue of who could legally use the money that Biden had raised to that point.
Harris should have done a self-evaluation and realized that she probably wasn’t the best candidate. She didn’t. We got the result we should have expected.
3) Tim Walz- a lousy pick. He brought nothing to the table. Minnesota hasn’t gone Red since 1972. If the Democrats are seriously fighting for MN, they need to rethink their party. Shapiro, Warnock, anyone who could have helped in a Swing state would have been better.
4) The Corporate Media didn’t do its job- The Corporate Media has this weird symbiotic relationship with Trump. They know he’s repulsive, but he’s good for ratings. He’s reality TV incarnate, normalizing lousy behavior because it’s entertaining. Joe Biden could look a bit confused trying to find the exit, and you’d get speculation about his mental acuity. Trump could rant about Haitians eating cats and Arnold Palmer’s….er… attributes, and nope, nothing to see here.
5) Abortion wasn’t the magic bullet – The initial shock of Dobbs probably saved the Democrats from worse results in 2022, but it was a hand Harris overplayed. Most Americans are ambivalent about abortion. They don’t think it should be illegal, but they don’t like it much, either. Making it the centerpiece of your campaign was a bad idea.
6) Taking Asians and Hispanics for granted – This is the untold story of 2024. Trump didn’t improve his numbers with white voters. He lost a percentage point among them. He only slightly improved his standing with black voters. The two big groups that he gained were Hispanics (+14) and Asians (+6), despite the toxic and racist language coming from Trump on Immigration.
Part of the reason was that the Harris team took them for granted, whereas Trump made genuine outreach. The other part of the problem is that immigration is affecting these communities, and muddled messaging didn’t help.
7) Immigration – Immigration has become a significant crisis, which Biden and Harris did not effectively manage. Part of the problem is immigrants figured out the Asylum loophole and abused the heck out of it. The other part of the problem is that Biden did very little to discourage immigration. While they deported more people than Trump did during his first term, they didn’t like to talk about it because they thought it wouldn’t play well with the Hispanic Community.
8) It’s the economy, stupid. The Biden economy was pretty good. Record stock market growth, record job growth, and low unemployment. The fly in the ointment, of course, was high inflation, driven by global commodities, labor shortages, and, yes, the Trillions in Stimulus That both Trump and Biden pumped into the economy to keep it afloat during COVID-19. The problem was, the Democrats did a poor job talking up the good stuff, and really weren't proactive enough on inflation, other than "Just let the fed handle it by putting home prices out of reach".
9) Transgender rights - Failure to Communicate. Democrats let Republicans run the table with this one. Every time the Republicans dragged out some college girl whining how she didn’t get a trophy, the Democrats should have brought out a transgender girl who transphobic people have abused. They didn’t do this, and the GOP got away with dehumanization.
10) Not holding Trump to account for COVID (or anything else!) – It is MIND-BOGGLING to me how Democrats weren’t reminding people at every step about how Trump mismanaged the COVID crisis (and subsequent recession).
11) Israel and Palestine- trying to thread the needle. This is where they should have taken a stand. Instead, they tried to please both sides and ended up pleasing neither one. So now you have these Arab-Americans in Dearborn, MI, who stayed home. How are things better for you now? ,
What nonsense. Mr, Thomas is not a woman thus has no business in women’s sports. What are the “rules” for a failed male swimmer who couldn’t compete against male competition?Again, this sounds like your issues, not Lia Thomas'.
Lia Thomas followed the rules set down by the NCAA for Transgender athlete's. She took off a year from competing after she started transitioning, she lost a substantial amount of muscle mass.
Now, if you refuse to accept that transgender women are a thing, I'm not going to piss up that rope.
But they are hardly mentally handicapped. They function within society as doctors, lawyers, engineers, military officers, and yes, even athletes.
No one celebrates it.
Stop using their messaging
Source?Except the income gap decreased in Trump’s first term and increased under Biden.
Europe has the exact same laws as the USA - in regards to racial diversity. That via additionally introduced hate-speech laws are far more regulated and implemented then in the USA.Europe is FAR less in favor of racial diversity than the US.
In views of diversity, many Europeans are less positive than Americans
The don’t gravitate towards the Democratic Party for a reason. They are able to see that the current Democratic Party is too closely aligned with the form of government from which they escaped. Now, if we could only get all those Democrats escaping from their blue states to be as enlightened.
Biological males should not compete against biological females in any sport where there is a current separation of sexes. There is a distinct advantage. Only those who have never participated in organized sports outside of 6 year old soccer don’t know this.
Neat. They think they are girls. Their biology says otherwise, thus why they shouldn’t be competing against biological females.
And Bernie is a Democrat. He runs on the Democratic ticket. We have been trying to tell you for years that the Democratic Party more closely aligns with Communism and Socialism. Most Americans want to steer very clear of those two forms of government. We just need to make the average Democrat aware of this tidbit(many are ignorant) and even more will leave the Party.
The only people drinking bleach were dumb Democrats who weren’t smart enough to understand what Trump was saying. He never said to drink bleach. Dumb people and those looking for political talking points spun his statement.
Trans girls are defacto bullying biological girls by competing against them and taking away their trophies and ribbons.
You will be in for a big surprise by the end of Trump’s term. He does need the support of Congress, so we can only hope the lefty lunies don’t take control in the midterms.
This was the start of bad planning... Biden should have served 4 years and then left the Democrats to pick a new candidate with Biden stating at the very start he not endorsing anyone (at the start of his term).Since 99% of my posts make Republicans Angry, I thought I'd do a post where I antagonize Democrats with hard, cold truths. Because it seems to me most of the Democrat discussion is "We weren't radical enough!"
So here is my list, 11 reasons why Democrats got their asses handed to them in 2024.

Too close to the previous admin and not really that popular. It wasn't the time. US is just not ready to pick a woman and Obama was an exceptional candidate to be the first black president. Harris is not exceptional.2) Kamala Harris – In one aspect, it’s easy to be sympathetic; she had to hop in and pick up a ball that had been fumbled. That said, she was a poor candidate. She was a weak candidate in 2020 when she dropped out before the primaries, and she did little to distinguish herself as Vice President. But the Democrats were painted into a corner.

Additionally, there was the issue of who could legally use the money that Biden had raised to that point.
Harris should have done a self-evaluation and realized that she probably wasn’t the best candidate. She didn’t. We got the result we should have expected.
I think he was a good candidate from the wrong state. Sharpiro was the guy... He also sends the right message too.3) Tim Walz- a lousy pick. He brought nothing to the table. Minnesota hasn’t gone Red since 1972. If the Democrats are seriously fighting for MN, they need to rethink their party. Shapiro, Warnock, anyone who could have helped in a Swing state would have been better.
Agreed... Democrats have to set up a shadow cabinet to specialise the message and go on all RW Media... Pete Buttigieg is a great example of that, know your brief and be able to answer with knowledge and authority. Imagine a team of 10 of them with supporting staff of 2-3 each from Congress... Unified Message on each topics, get known for plain talking, explaining how this effects regular folks... This should be done right now.4) The Corporate Media didn’t do its job- The Corporate Media has this weird symbiotic relationship with Trump. They know he’s repulsive, but he’s good for ratings. He’s reality TV incarnate, normalizing lousy behavior because it’s entertaining. Joe Biden could look a bit confused trying to find the exit, and you’d get speculation about his mental acuity. Trump could rant about Haitians eating cats and Arnold Palmer’s….er… attributes, and nope, nothing to see here.
Yep, agree5) Abortion wasn’t the magic bullet – The initial shock of Dobbs probably saved the Democrats from worse results in 2022, but it was a hand Harris overplayed. Most Americans are ambivalent about abortion. They don’t think it should be illegal, but they don’t like it much, either. Making it the centerpiece of your campaign was a bad idea.
Doing what Is said in Media(point 4)... Go on and win them...6) Taking Asians and Hispanics for granted – This is the untold story of 2024. Trump didn’t improve his numbers with white voters. He lost a percentage point among them. He only slightly improved his standing with black voters. The two big groups that he gained were Hispanics (+14) and Asians (+6), despite the toxic and racist language coming from Trump on Immigration.
Part of the reason was that the Harris team took them for granted, whereas Trump made genuine outreach. The other part of the problem is that immigration is affecting these communities, and muddled messaging didn’t help.
Democrat position was confusing and lacked direction... Again to point 4, have a team working the media with a consolidated view... Work hard on it, Mark Twain said I wrote you a long letter because I didn't have time for a short one... We need short ones, well thought out and what effects peoples lives...7) Immigration – Immigration has become a significant crisis, which Biden and Harris did not effectively manage. Part of the problem is immigrants figured out the Asylum loophole and abused the heck out of it. The other part of the problem is that Biden did very little to discourage immigration. While they deported more people than Trump did during his first term, they didn’t like to talk about it because they thought it wouldn’t play well with the Hispanic Community.
Again Confusing the message and delivering it only on their media...8) It’s the economy, stupid. The Biden economy was pretty good. Record stock market growth, record job growth, and low unemployment. The fly in the ointment, of course, was high inflation, driven by global commodities, labor shortages, and, yes, the Trillions in Stimulus That both Trump and Biden pumped into the economy to keep it afloat during COVID-19. The problem was, the Democrats did a poor job talking up the good stuff, and really weren't proactive enough on inflation, other than "Just let the fed handle it by putting home prices out of reach".
Again Communication....9) Transgender rights - Failure to Communicate. Democrats let Republicans run the table with this one. Every time the Republicans dragged out some college girl whining how she didn’t get a trophy, the Democrats should have brought out a transgender girl who transphobic people have abused. They didn’t do this, and the GOP got away with dehumanization.
Democrats basically looked weak too many times...10) Not holding Trump to account for COVID (or anything else!) – It is MIND-BOGGLING to me how Democrats weren’t reminding people at every step about how Trump mismanaged the COVID crisis (and subsequent recession).
Respect the right of both to exist.11) Israel and Palestine- trying to thread the needle. This is where they should have taken a stand. Instead, they tried to please both sides and ended up pleasing neither one. So now you have these Arab-Americans in Dearborn, MI, who stayed home. How are things better for you now? ,
Hamas are a bunch of War Criminals...Hamas created the problem, but the Palestinian people were the ones suffering.
This wasn't an issue in the rest of the world. The rest of the world saw that Israelis overreacted and were causing a lot of untold misery.
Biden should have been working for a cease-fire long before he did.
