For those of you who worship failing public schools and go around saying that you want educational opportunities for every American student it shows hypocrisy.

Even for bronz, this is bad.

The main reason we have to have later cutoff points is to give women time to know they're pregnant and save up enough money to have the abortion.

If Republicans agreed to have the government pay for abortions for the poor and to amend Obamacare to make abortion a mandatory covered service, we could probably compromise on banning after 12 weeks.

The day a significant number of congressional democrats sign off on a 12 week ban is the day pigs learn to fly. And this assumes that the Hyde amendment is up for debate. It's not. It's settled law.

It's obviously not settled law if one of the two major parties called for its repeal in its platform. Some day the Democrats will have total control and the Hyde amendment will go bye-bye, God willing. A totally unnecessary law. Only a matter of time.

Given that the democratic caucus will be 100% anti-hyde on the 12th of Never, they would need like 70, maybe 75 senators, to withstand defections and still get by the legislative filibuster. Majorities that big literally never occur.

A bit late but Jesus f**k

When is the appropriate time to share my feelings? I feel as if I am in limerence. I really need to get this off my conscience.
You dont, make a physical move.

I don't see the problem here. Spark said he was going to take his crush out to dinner, and I'm pretty sure Rjjr was telling him to be himself and go in for a kiss when the date ended.

What's wrong with that?

You don't make sudden physical moves on someone after a first date. Consent matters. People don't like being randomly forced into a kiss; unwanted intimate contact is really violating.


A kiss isn't "random" if you're on a date. If you both had an awesome time on your date and feel like there's chemistry there, it's perfectly reasonable to go in for a kiss without asking. Worst case scenario he/she pulls away and refuses. I mean how exactly do you envision a kiss happening on a first date?

It's not as if he/she forcefully grabs you by the back of the head and proceeds to tongue rape your face. lol

School vouchers are a bad, bad idea, folks. They are just another way for the government to take control over education.

That's why nobody should receive an education unless their parents can afford it, obviously.
Everyone can afford an education these days, even the indolent (of whom there are sadly very many!). There are public libraries, you know. And the Internet. There is absolutely no need for governments to spend a dime on children's education.

There's something called nonverbal signals. The best way to do it is to use those. If you're good enough to not misinterpret those signals. Otherwise, just ask. Asking when they would say yes is a hell of a lot better then not asking when they would say no. Plus, "make a physical move" very much implies being forceful.

As was said before, he turned many people who would have been perfectly fine with Clinton against her. Before the primary I had zero problem with Clinton. I would have happily supported her when she wrapped up the nomination in a traditional primary. But then Sanders came. And because sanders decided to make things about some style-based progressive movement, he got a lot of young people (including me, to my shame) rallied up into a cult-like state. Clinton was the one who got all the hate because she was standing in the way of Bernie(among other things). The big problem was that bernie didn't concede when the dust was settled and it was clear that he lost, he kept delusionally fighting on, and his fanbase(again, including me) kept being riled by "bernie can still win" BS. The constant uphill struggle, the attacks on Clinton that were much harder to brush off then most primary attacks, and the seceding into a little group self-divided from everyone else on the left were devastating. Bernie didn't have to make Clinton "the enemy". Bernie didn't have to refuse to consider her "progressive enough" over petty nonsense. Bernie didn't have to frivolously declare the democratic primary rigged against him when the advantages in super-delegates came from Clinton's advantage in the primary(and he got an obviously undemocratic boost in caucuses), he didn't have to let a cult of personality form around him(and probably let it get to his head). I remember early in the primary looking at Clinton's website(I knew of bernie at this point), and thinking she'd be cool, getting excited for her. But because I got swept in the bernie wave I later hated her. I honestly wouldn't have been able to name a real problem I had with Clinton if I was asked, and I remember a thought that Hillary really wasn't much different from bernie. But I dismissed it, because I was caught up in the bern. Bernie didn't have to do all of this.

In my case, this had to be true, as I was too socially lazy/sexually timid to ever do anything for myself.

This is extremely far from the truth for most young American men. I don't doubt that there are some social circles in which what you say is the case, but it's also true that many men have poor social skills and fail to notice women who make advances, or don't like the women who actually approach them enough to pay attention to them in that way, or are extremely unattractive to women on account of appearance or behavior.

No doubt true as well.

He's a problematic figure (as are most politicians from all sides of the political spectrum). We don't have to like people just because they're in our party (which he isn't even, so...)

Someone like Bernie was bound to come along eventually. The Democratic Party needed a correction to its current direction, and as is usual, such corrections are rarely universally accepted by members of said party, particularly the old establishment order. It's not even like all people who are annoyed by Bernie dislike his ideas entirely, but more so that they feel he's disrupting and dividing the party, and possibly hurting chances at success. Some people may see that as not worth it, and some may see it as a necessary cycle in the transition to a party more concerned about the average voter and their concerns than placating wealthy people.

Some of them might start to have second thoughts about supporting the Democratic Party as Islamist hordes make them start boarding the cattle cars.

Why would you both report my post for being inappropriate (presumably with the intention of removing it) and post it here (presumably with the intention to preserving it)?

The only people bashing Bernie today are diehard Hillary loyalists who want to blame literally everyone and everything for her loss to Trump except Hillary Clinton.  They're a very small minority, because Bernie is the most popular politician in the country right now and the DNC even realizes that.

Let's stop relitigating the damn primary.

Re: Who would FDR vote for?

*Against German domination of Europe
*Friendly with the Russians
*Opponent of the "money changers"
*Very fiscally liberal
*Friend of monetary sovereignty

Le Pen, easily.

More seriously, FDR was probably too much of an internationalist to vote for Le Pen, but his fiscal and monetary priorities do line up better with Le Pen than with Macron here. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually did go Le Pen in this election.
