I joined the TST for this exact reason.

Stupak was hysterically amusingly shocked at the complete and total vitriol heaped on him by those Christian forced birthers who had been his advocates. It was great. And he lost his seat. Which was also great.

I am hoping that the R party dies in QAnon insanity then these creeps and the berners create their own party.

I looked at the "Undersigned". First, you just sign your fucking name. You do not call yourselves The Undersigned.

Second, Collin Peterson, Minnesota now that the odious Dan is gone will be the only person who signs from a Federal seat. The rest are "former" for a reason. So we could lose his seat and be fine.

They had to *scrape* for former losing candidates for County Commissioner (former nominee!) to get over 100.

That must be every single one left. They can all fucking leave.

2020 platform kept the language from 2016 with the same subheading, "Securing Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice" but it is now under the heading "Healing the Soul of America".

Actually, this issue is about taxes. It is not a real issue. It is about taxes and racism. Please read this:https://www.npr.org/2019/06...or thishttps://slate.com/human-int...

Thank you for your patience!

I just want to remind everyone that abortion was never the real issue. It was about tax relief for segregation academics. Falwell of the drunken boat party, his dad founded it.

So they have been aligning themselves with hard bigotry to get elected. And now they need to change fucking parties. In 90 days :-)

I am sorry for your trauma and hope you find healing.

Also, I am sure you do not actually advocate for inflicting that on anyone else.

You are just arguing about tactics.

Sleep well.

Bernie was beat like dog in the primaries in WA.

Bernie won the caucuses. She beat him like a drum in the primary. WA has both.

His message was, "She does not have a penis, give me money while I call her every sexist trope in the world". He lost by THREE MILLION VOTES.

So you are ignorant. Bernie is a bigot. His attacks were sexist, dishonest, and yes played a critical role in electing Trump.

Now, he will STFU and support Biden, as he should have done for HRC in 2016. Then, hopefully, die very soon so we can elect a functional Senator who can invest in something other than grifting and self-enrichment.

Read the fucking platform you consumerist cos-play socialist.

You are a moron if you think "socialism" means you get your own custom personal platform. It means working with others, even people who disagree with you.

You are on the actual Internet. That is where the Dem platform is also!

You Could Read It.

In Jewish law the life of the mother always comes before the life of the child.

So that would be what Jesus, you know the theoretical first century Jew, would have embraced.

That's true for abortion and evangelicals specifically. I was talking about the larger society and the norms that involve women and sexuality.

what is it about "RW Dems" that do you not understand?

I can't stand forced-birther assholes. Hypocritical religious extremists. They don't care about protecting children, and they don't really care about abortion since they are just as fanatically opposed to anything that reduces the number of abortions, like birth control and sex education. Their goal is to enforce primitive religious roles for women.

Too many of them are "Breeders for Jesus."
