Yep. She's talking about changing optics and messaging to something that resonates with the larger 'I know very little about politics but I still vote' group of voters.

The headline feels like clickbait.

The question is, will voters learn from this? Will they understand that when the president and his crew are straight up Nazis -- and congressional republicans do nothing to stop them because they support a Nazi agenda -- that the whole Republican party is now a Nazi party?

There won't be any "reasonable" Republicans to vote for going forword; they are all Nazis now.

I have been straight up poisoned several times by improperly maintained soda fountains. I avoid them now.

Trans men are (or can be) biologically male. The best term to use for 'non-trans' men would be cisgender men. 'Biological' is the preferred term that bigots use to spread misinformation and insinuate that trans people aren't real, natural, or equal.

Someone else said it pretty well:

Biological sex is a construct. It is based on the observable traits of:

  • Primary sexual characteristics
  • Secondary sexual characeristics
  • Gonadal Sex
  • Chromosomal Sex

A fully medically transitioned trans person usually matches a majority of these, so it is totally reasonable to say trans women are biologically female, and trans men are biologically male. Generally, the binary categorization of sex is scientifically unsound; it should be understood as a spectrum.

I don't care what it comes out of as long as the machine is properly and regularly cleaned.

It's hit and miss. I was getting bad switches in Logitech mice back in 2005. The double-click problem has been around for a long time.

Well unlike religion, science supports this truth. Decades of science and listening to trans people and their lived experiences.

Can we please ban electronic advertising already? And billboards? Society would be better off without them.

My 17-year-old account is at $600. That's an average of $35 per year.

Most of my gaming spending for the last 8 years has been on Nintendo Switch. That number is too embarrassing to post.
