It's going to be weird not seeing his face on every police box in the country anymore.

They're not. It's a dishonest argument.

You sound like a lot of fun to be around.

If we're talking about 2000, when Supreme Court justices appointed by Bush's father stepped in and prevented recounts from taking place (which later showed that Bush would have lost) and handed the presidency to Bush; and comparing that to 2021, when the president launched a mob of armed traitors and attacked the capitol, while GOP lawmakers aided them; and saying there's something similar between them, then all hope for meaningful truth is lost.

"Both sides have accused the other of stealing the election!" is only true insofar as one side has actually stolen an election, after which that fact was grumbled about but then accepted peacefully, and then that same side 20 years later launched a failed coup d'état and whined afterwards about the election being stolen. So it's a fact, but presenting it as some sort of equivalence is the peak of dishonesty.

(I know that's not what you're doing, you're just explaining the conversation. But that is what the grandparent post was doing, thus my complaint.)

You should feel shame if your inaction supports the greatest evil.

Remember that the existing consensus was also created by scientists with political and social motivations who made plenty of assumptions about gender.

A challenge to the status quo isn't automatically biased just because it challenges the status quo.

That's an extremely lazy take that lacks imagination.

Look at the situation right now, and imagine one thing becoming less shitty. There, things just got better without getting worse. Now do that incrementally. It's trivial to see how things can improve without destroying the whole system.

It seems like the only thing the House does anymore is fuck around over spending bills. When was the last time they actually did something useful?
