Even with all the misuses of the word "socialism" by right-wingers and people with socialist avatars who are still pretty standard Democrats, this might be up there for worst use of the term:

North Korea doesn't try to be somewhat socialist the way Cuba does. They're more totalitarian than anything else.

In what way is North Korea less socialist than Cuba?

Cuba actually has a longer life expectancy than the US, while North Korea misses by 9 years.

No, Atlas has a lot of center-left posters who think supporting universal health care and tuition-free college makes them a socialist.

If alcohol were to completely go away, 90% of society's problems would be instantly cured.  In an ideal world, alcohol should be illegal, but I think that we would have had to do that in the 1700s or 1800s and that the negative externalities of doing that today would outweigh the benefits.

Came here to post this ... glad I don't have these types of friends, LOL.

Isn't this guy like 15 or something? It's a natural view for some kid who hasn't had his first beer yet.

This....

I felt similar to ExtremeConservative when I was 15 or so and now it's some 30 years later and have a very different POV....

Would be happy to buy any Atlas poster that turns 21 their first beer if they are in the neighborhood and discuss politics, precinct level results from various states/cities/counties, and all sorts of other Atlas Geek-o-Rama that we wrangle about on a daily basis.

Not a big fan of Prohibition policies at all, since addicts and alcoholics will always find a means to obtain their drug of choice... Not even going to mention the whole black market deal that comes with these types of policy positions and causes all sorts of violence to secure illegal markets, and won't even go into the benefit to State/County/Local governments when it comes to taxable revenue generated in the form of "Sin Taxes" on items such as Cigs, Alcohol, and Recreational MJ (In States where it is legal).

Trying to legislate public morality has always been a bad idea within the United States, on so many items, which is part of reason I consider myself a Social Libertarian.

I am 21 and am proud to say that I have never had a drink and never will.  I think a few posters mix me up with some younger posters for some reason.

There's a lot of possible evidence seemingly pointing to it being a left-winger. His attack on a country music festival, ISIS claiming responsibility, the ANTIFA literature in his room. Nothing's been confirmed yet but nothing discredited either.

Since you're so obsessed with "winning debates," here are ten responses.

1. I resort to insults because you're as dumb as a bag of rocks.

2. You f[inks]ing asked me "What specific facts that I stated do you deny?" to which I bolded what I disagreed with you on.

3. You cited some 9th grade biology bullsh[inks] about gene abnormalities which is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand.

4. Your usage of male pronouns in reference to Caitlyn Jenner is a transphobic canard.

5. Having a penis/vagina =/= gender. That's sex. Read a book or something.

6. Why the f[inks] does it matter to you what Jenner chooses to identify as?

7. Why the f[inks] do you think that YOU get to decide what Jenner and other trans people are allowed to identify as?

8. The whole "Why can't I identify as a tree????1?1" thing is not only beyond stupid, it completely belittles the struggles that trans people have to deal with, both internally and societally.
     a. If you can't the difference between a tree and a woman, you really are as dumb as I say you are.
     b. There are things which make Caitlyn Jenner a woman other than her word: her transitioning, her psychological identification as a woman,
     c. Once again, I'd like to repeat that you are incredibly stupid.

9. The article in the OP literally explain how what one feels inside one's head IS biology.

10. These are medical experts at the Endocrine Society who are stating this, officially, as a legitimate organization. I think it's safe to say that they better understand the issue and can actually provide facts as opposed to some random person posting their opinion on the internet.

1. I am not dumb.  My SAT score puts me in the 90th percentile.  My IQ is over 140.
2. I didn't notice the bolding.
3. It was relevant because "Communist Cracker" said there was more variation than XX and XY so I clarified those variations and how they still work out into the 2 sexes.
4. Ha! Ha!  You are triggered because I "misgendered" someone.  Most sincere apologies for that micro-aggression.  Please go to a safe space.
5. Sex and gender are synonyms.  Read a thesaurus or something.
6. It doesn't affect me, but I  can still disagree about it.
7. I don't get to decide what they identify as.  I don't have mind control powers.  But I can call them what I want and see them for their real gender....that they got at birth.
8. So basically what makes Caitlin Jenner a woman is that he says so , wears a dress, and is in "transition" aka hormones and surgery.
what makes him a man is: XY chromosomes, penis, testicles, prostate, seminal vesicles, Adam's apple, lacks any female organs, has a deep,many voice, is like 6'3'', won an Olympic medal as a MAN..........
My arguments are based on science while all you can do is say I'm dumb until you are blue in the face.  Generally, someone whose best argument is to call someone dumb is actually the dumb one, just sayin.
9/10. I agree, any feeling you have inside your head is technically biological, but with that logic, if you feel inside your head you are POTUS, are you actually in the real world?  Nope.  Just the same as with the trannies.  I don't doubt Jenner feels inside his head he is a woman, I just don't think that actually makes him one when all of the physical evidence points otherwise.  Why is it that all other mental feelings that are not reality are considered delusions, except gender identity?  It is because of politics.  The transgenders are the next big victim group for the left and any scientist that challenges their identities would be labeled a bigot, so they come up will a silly excuse which basically, "they think they are the other gender so they are."   That argument doesn't hold up any where else.  I am 17 and think I am 60, so am I?  no. Can I get drinks at a bar?  no. I think I am a tree so am I? no. My ancestry is white but I identify as black.  Can I begin a transition to black and listen to rap music and wear black shoepolish? no.  Now I am a black person? no. do I get affirmative action? no.  I am a man but I think I am a girl.  Can I just wear a dress and makeup and become a girl? no...... I mean absolutely yes! can I use the girls restroom? come right in! can I go into a girl's locker room and watch them change?  why yes!
See the problem.  Every other time a person identifies in their brain they are something they are not, it is either a joke, crazy, or the person is delusional.  Except with gender, because of 2 works: political correctness.  I honestly don't care if you think I am a bigot or if I offended you.  If you think of this objectively and in a logical and fact based manner, you will understand transgenderism is absolute lunacy and a denial or reality.  If someone has a delusion, you don't try to make that delusion reality, you try to fix their delusion.  Yes trans people need medical treatment, to fix their identity and make it in sync with reality.  Cutting your dick off won't solve problems.

I'm not cynical about Harris in particular, but really about the Democratic Party and American politics in general. Do I think Bel Edwards would be better than Harris in answering the needs of rural Americans? Maybe, I really can't say for certain. I will say that I am slightly more confident in his ability than Harris' due to his background and the state that he governs being largely rural and one of the poorest in the nation. What sort of experience does Harris have that is equivalent to that?

But the fact remains that rural America continues to crumble and not a thing is being done about it. There needs to be serious changes in the system, and I doubt that Harris has the political clout or platform to do. I don't blame Harris for not having a political career laser focused on the plight of the rural poor, it's not her problem. And that's why I would prefer to elect someone with a more class based background and platform, who is experience in dealing with rural issues.

Single payer sounds real nice, and I am willing to give Harris the benefit of the doubt, but she has yet to prove to me that she is anything more than an over hyped Democratic Rubio so far.

With all due respect, what about the just move argument. Some parts of rural (and urban) do not serve a purpose in the modern economy. I moved from rural Oregon to Los Angeles, and I don't have patience for people who won't do the same to find success.

Not a big fan of Prohibition policies at all, since addicts and alcoholics will always find a means to obtain their drug of choice... Not even going to mention the whole black market deal that comes with these types of policy positions and causes all sorts of violence to secure illegal markets, and won't even go into the benefit to State/County/Local governments when it comes to taxable revenue generated in the form of "Sin Taxes" on items such as Cigs, Alcohol, and Recreational MJ (In States where it is legal).

Exactly the same as criminals and guns.

Maybe, but which is far, far, far, far, FAR more legal?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

An ineffective ban, to be sure. If she were the deciding vote, Haley would support it. However, we can't risk hurting our relationship with Saudi Arabia, Iraq, India, China, and Japan at this time.

[White Trash]

As for winning over voters, I think the blue collar dotards are lost for good. Whatever sacrifice they've earned has been lost be embracing the toxicity of Donald Trump. The party ought to push double down on the key demographics that support Democrats, such as women of color, who are the highest turnout demographic of all ethnic groups in the country. Most young blue collar white women can be won over by Kamala platform, even with young blue collar men being just as reactionary as their Fox News watching papa. Moderates who are discomfort with the far-right and far-left can be inspired to cast a vote for the sensible California senator, who won't make you lose your sleep at night. 


I couldn't think of a better nominee who would inspired the base to come out to the polling stations.

What is it about Kamala Harris that makes people make such horrible posts?

[JA]

Kamala Harris has done more for the justice of million Californians, the most racially diverse state in the country, then Bernie Sanders has done for his sh**tty rural white state. Yet it's the old mediocre white guy that is being shoved down the base throat, when Kamala is a inspiration to many WOC who feel the pain of living in Trump America. Explain to me how the low accomplished senator gets a fair shot at the presidency and not the hard-working GA.

About 40 posts in this thread could be put here, but I'll just leave this gem here:

Not much of a competition when Family Guy is the flagship franchise of Genus Neckbeard.

Uh, its a pretty far left show.

[AtorBoltox]

Most celebrities turned very quickly against Cosby once the allegations against him came out, but they've been rather silent on Harvey Weinstein. Why is that?

The accusations against Cosby were known about for like 20 years at least.

Anyway, is Weinstein accused of rape? Being accused of sexually harassment is very different than being accused of rape. Especially if you give the people you sexually harassed like a million dollars each. If your boss tells you "nice ass", that's bad but I think if he gives you a million bucks afterwards it kind of cancels out the badness.
