Hillary Clinton, the woman who declared all poor black and brown children to be super predators and as First Lady lead a popular nation-wide propaganda campaign to get far-right bills passed which essentially created the school to prison pipeline that is still causing generational harm to Americans today and has, in fact, been tied directly to the Trump-era propaganda against immigrants which uses the exact same playbook, is the enemy to every single American citizen.*

But it wasn’t just her incredibly racist history, it wasn’t just that she was another Clinton after we saw what happens with legacy presidents with W. Bush, it was her campaign. “It’s Her Turn.” She refused to campaign in most battleground states, she assumed all blue states would automatically vote for her and felt like she didn’t need to campaign hard in those either, and her entire platform was just a more conservative, more war-mongering version of Obama’s 2012 platform – after 4 years of that failing.

Like Harris, she also simply ignored the working class and its concerns and issues. Things weren’t great in 2016. They’re so much better than they are now, but it was already on a downturn and some member of the elite, someone who has never suffered once in her life, someone who has never been hungry or had to pay bills herself, comes in and declares herself the next president, that she’s the only one worthy of being the next president, that she’s the most qualified, that does not once listen to or echo back the actual problems people are having every day and provides no solutions to them…

She had zero chance to win. The fact she funded and encouraged news coverage of Trump also didn’t help. She fundamentally did not understand how unpopular she was, how unpopular her platform (or lack thereof) was, or how popular anyone that was not establishment would be against her.

There may be some sexism involved, in extremely small communities. But the fact there are plenty of red states with women governors, senators, and house members proves it is not about sexism, it is simply the fact they were both incredibly shitty candidates. They had no hope of converting people from the right, and had no want for people from the left to vote for them.

No. Neither Clinton nor Harris lost due to sexism.

Genuinely hope you stop being a nazi.

Are you actually mentally disabled?

As someone who’s lived in multiple midwest/flyover states, not really. The median American is a leftist. They want healthcare for all (genuinely ask any Oklahoman how jealous they are of Native Americans in the state). They want strong labor protections. They want cheaper rent and most want public housing back. Most all of them recognize that the wealthy (though many do limit it to ‘some’ of the wealthy) are responsible for how poorly their life has gone, and the main struggles they’ve found in life. They want to help their neighbors and in many small towns you’ll find just straight up a Sharing Economy, which is a genuine possible path for post-socialist economics at the local level; and they recognize that the state should only exist for conflict disputes. Hell, until 2001 you could not find a single ‘rural’ or what would now be ‘MAGA’ voter that supported the existence of police or their ability to just stop people. Until 2009 it was hard to find any that actually supported immigration restrictions or ‘anti-dei’ or ‘integration.’ Like genuinely they were incredibly rare.

So there is hope. But because democrats chose neoliberalism and chose to make the singular difference between the parties ‘who can tie populist ideas to their platform first,’ many Americans went full conservative/MAGA, despite not knowing what those positions actually entail, and most Americans just because disillusioned with american democracy and chose to exclude themselves since both parties were genuinely the same exact platform in 1992-2000.

At least this is somewhat scientific transphobia this time!

Weird how this doesn’t affect athletes who transition then. [1] But specifically to this unique claim, this largely either does not matter, or cannot be determined given the limited data of there just not being enough trans athletes, period. [2] Given the results, the fact most trans women athletes fall within a median distribution of cis women athletes, it is much more likely than not this simply does not have an effect versus cis women athletes, given oestrogen actually protections myonuclei and other satellite cells, encouraging its growth versus just testosterone. [3] So really, this was a good attempt little buddy. I appreciate it, genuinely, that you are willing to try to justify the bigotry you displayed, but currently this just isn’t supported by the data.

Maybe next century!

Insisting, against all scientific evidence, that trans women have some undefinable unfair advantage because testosterone from years ago supposedly can magically stick around to give better physical results is indeed transphobia.

It is an unreasonable, unsupported fear of an aspect of trans women. By definition that is transphobia, in the truest possible sense.

I’m sorry that you are wrong. I’m sorry that science fully disagrees with your take. I’m sorry you guessed wrong on this subject. But I have provided you the tools to educate yourself. It is up to you to actually do so, instead of continuing to be bigoted.

What would you have to see to convince you that there are immutable biological differences between males and females? would an example change your mind?

Scientific studies that explicitly show that AMABs on HRT have some type of advantage over cis AFAB. They don’t exist in peer reviewed journals, but maybe I’m wrong. Go ahead. Find one. Two of the papers I linked are meta analyses.

Please don’t assume what I think, where I live, or my education level. (??? why ??)

I know what you think, because your moderation history and comment history are public on activitypub federated servers, and by god do you post a lot of bigoted bullshit to push your far-right nazi-inspired agenda. Seriously, you people, and I use that term loosely, need to be forcibly reeducated before you’re allowed to be out in public.

And please don’t be rude. I’ve been on lemmy for years, and Feminism did not start on reddit and 4chan, LOL.

Feminism did not. Trans-exclusionary Radical Feminism did. Because chipping away at the LGBT+ alliance fits the nazi agenda and it’s easier to start with the ‘weaker’ ones.

Trans people are why gay rights exist in the west. One would do well to remember that, if you want to claim to be a part of the “LGB.”

The bigot says what? ‘Hate Speech’ isn’t speech that you hate.

You didn’t look. At all. First result. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/making-case-medicare-all-abdul-el-sayed-podcast-transcript-ncna922911

It didn’t cost $12,000. It was priced at $12,000.

There is a reason 3/4 countries on the planet, and every single developed country on the planet all have some type of public healthcare. When you take the profit out of a monopoly, the price drops so drastically it becomes affordable.

Centrists need depopulation.*

If you’re dumb or evil enough to be a neoliberal in this day and age, after witnessing essentially everything getting worse across the west and the wider world due to neoliberal policies, it might not be possible to reeducate you.

That’s currently how it is right now, you incredibly dense mung bean.

And healthcare for all is so difficult, only 42/43 developed nations and 155/208 nations on Earth have managed to do it. The US has the same healthcare access as fucking Somalia.

I hate the way you engage with people here.

I hate that transphobia is so ingrained in you people’s brains that even dems have to cater to you fucks.

I think you are just looking for an argument and you know the things you are saying are obvious bullshit. You like to call people bigots but you’re the only person here acting like one.

My view is backed by science, yours is backed by… bigots jerking themselves off.
