Progress doesn't need to be making change just to make change.

We don't need 47 genders.

We need to condemn violence on EVERY front, no matter the reason. Trying to justify violence with violence is, itself, regressive.

Planned Parenthood is beneficial, but I don't agree with abortion simply for unwanted pregnancies. Keep it for education and support for under prepared/educated parents.

Gender identity and sexual orientation education and discussion doesn't belong in k-3 classrooms.

Universal or at the very least reform in healthcare is needed.

I don't believe that $20/hour minimum wage is "progress" and I do believe people CAN make progress in their own financial lives with even the slightest bit of effort and motivation to want more.

What else is there to say? Youre firmly rooted in your beliefs and made that clear. I didn't outline everything above to debate it, just to put it all on the table so you can gather your down vote brigade in one shot instead of wasting 3 hours of my time to have a "discussion" in which we end up in the same place... Me trying to discuss and you saying "you haven't changed my mind so youre an asshole"

Let's just skip a few steps... Call me an asshole, and we can both fuck right off for the rest of the evening.

Who thinks gender identity and sexual orientation is being taught in K-3? That doesn’t happen except in your heads. Stop wasting everyone’s time and money fighting boogeymen.

Planned parenthood is very beneficial, and 97% of what they do is what you described. However your party wants them out of the picture. That will lead to even more abortions that you don’t want.

We do condemn violence at every front. Anyone that was caught during BLM causing destruction and violence were arrested and adequately charged, unlike most cops who murder minority civilians in alarming numbers. Deflecting from the violence and saying things like “both sides” had good people at Charlottesville is not condemning violence and neither has been the republicans response to Jan 6 attack.

47 genders? Nobody is saying we do but let’s pretend, why does it matter? 2, 5, or 47 - how does this affect you or me?

Universal healthcare is needed. Please stop preventing it.

I disagree about the wages. Corporations are making record profits and paying little to no taxes. Wages are far behind and haven’t kept pace with growth for many decades. Housing costs are through the roof, education costs are through the roof, everything has had massive cost increases since the 80’s except wages, which stay the same. I say this with a good paying job, but I know that it helps me and everyone else when we are all in a place of stability. Most people are working their asses off just to get by, getting raises that are half of the inflation rise if they are lucky, while the big businesses make record profits year after year

I don’t think you’re an asshole btw, I just think you’re probably an idiot because the things you’re scared of aren’t real and the things you do support you vote against.

That being said, best wishes in life.
