Why Are So Many Democratic Politicians So Far Out of Touch? - New York Times

If they'd bother to investigate Texas and Florida they'd find a lot more fraud there.

They're looking at several states, like Cali...Bet that one's going to be astronomical...

Both states have higher immigrant populations than the entire population of the state of Minnesota.

Ah, so you believe that the immigrants that we let in with little or no vetting, are fraudsters....I think we agree...

If you don't know what a citizen is you shouldn't be posting anything on this site.

I see, so you refuse to define it....Typical leftist...When cornered, try and flip the script on your opponent...Won't work scumbag...

Your opinion is noted

Good, you can note it, write it down, shove it up your ass, I don't give a shit....How bout that?

, I think very little of it or anyone else nitpicking about past differences.

You say that as though I should be trying to gain your approval? Who the **** are you? Nobody.

Both parties have their problems

Never said any differently....Seems you have a problem opening that smooth brain of yours....

, you've got the bigger one , trump and trumpism.

So far, Trump is doing what we voted him in to do. And as a bonus, he's making you people look like a bunch of whining, narcissistic, ass holes....Good luck with that...Keep selling the ridiculous.

First off , I am not a Democrat. I like to keep my options open in case the republicans ever come to their senses again. They had a few good points. People they got rid of called Rhinos . They followed the principles of the republican party not necessarily it's leader. Especially now that an extremist has taken over the party.

Yeah watch me laugh

Once again, there are thousands of rights and wrongs that need to be addresses, but no one can address them all, so you concentrate on the most important ones. For example, if there are three protests occurring, and one is about protecting Welfare, one is about protecting Medicare and Medicaid and one is about protecting transgender people, and you only have time to go to two of the three protests, which two would you choose?

No one's life needs to be hampered by the government. I am an elderly gay man.o lived half my life in the shadows afraid because of what the church , the state and other people thought of me. It wasn't healthy for me or any more f them. It's time to end these barbaric practices based on fear and hatred. Time for the entire human race to grow up. Long overdo. Too many lives wasted.

No one cares....Why do you feel you need to draw attention to that fact?

o lived half my life in the shadows afraid because of what the church , the state and other people thought of me.

That sounds like your hang up...

It wasn't healthy for me or any more f them.

Again, no one cares...There's much more to life than what or who you prefer in the bedroom...

It's time to end these barbaric practices based on fear and hatred.

What practices are you talking about?

Time for the entire human race to grow up. Long overdo. Too many lives wasted.

Start with your own narcissism...As much as you'd like you will NEVER control people's minds....

Ditto child.

Your ilk inspired my signature.

If you were put in the same situation you'd scream like a child. I'm just saying people need to be held responsible for what they do. Society tore native Americans away from their parents and created a lost generation. It wasn't bad enough they tried to genocide them all but to take away the future of the survivors is dastardly. The same thing happened to Aboriginal peoples in.Australia. At least there they apologized for the injustices they caused the native peoples. We are America . We can do better , we should do better. The hate needs to end before we destroy ourselves. You have a problem with that. I hope not , there can be no more excuses for this.

What in the hell are you talking about? You're all over the place....

I'll chalk it up to it being late, and you may be tired....But, wow....That's a whole lot of rambling you did there.

I'm not just talking to you . I am talking to everyone on here. This insanity of judging one another ( people you don't even know ) needs to end. Civilization depends on it. Is that simple enough for you. I'm sorry you couldn't follow the few examples of man's inhumanity to mankind. History is full of examples. When people force things on other people for the so called good of everyone it's usually not about those people at all. It's about what we believe to be good for US. It never is good for anyone.

well, this topic was about transgender men competing against women, and NOT about gay people. I agree that the topic of discrimination against gay people is a much more important topic.

It seems that I have been talking about oranges and you have been talking about apples.

Discrimination is discrimination. Having a realistic framework ( scientific ) evaluation in place would be the most practical and non- discriminatory practice in place to make that call would be the most practical thing to do. Based on a standard.en and women are not that much different. In cases where it makes difference they should not be allowed to compete. Wether we are talking about one youngster or a thousand doesn't matter z justice needs to exist for everyone or it exists for no one. That principle should not be violated by ignorance and fear.

You honestly never thought trump was acting crazy. He's about as far out there as you can get and since he's suppose to be president for ALL Americans that makes it the most dangerous situation we have.

I've always said that TRUMP! is vain, egotistical, petty, vengeful and that I wouldn't want to either work for or live with him. That has nothing, though, to do with the democrats' extremism as a party.

You're right, Trump's extremism could not be related to the extremism on the far left. Or could it be the direct result of that.

We do know that the democrat party enabled him to be elected twice by putting up really bad candidates against him. I don't think he really expected to win in 2016.

Go after the ones who screw with others. We destroy whole groups for what a percentage does. However, there are people in those groups who may not say anything as they are not against their nastiness totally. There are millions of retirees as an example who have gotten away with abuses to people in their younger days. Instead, you go after everyone. All our guilty.

It was a fluke both times. Right place , right time , terrible result.

Having a rational system in.place to make the call would help everyone. As for criminal activity , that's why we have courts. Laws messing with transgenders rights are unConstituitional by their very nature.

We have a president who declared a third of the people of this country as the enemy. How is that good in any way ? Promoting hatred and division. How can that help make America strong ? It doesn't.

We’re the deplorables but again, only you count so you disregarded it
