  • Kamala Harris Didn’t Lose Because of Racism

    Jump

  • It really really isn't.

    One county in a deep red part of New York had 0 votes for Kamala. That same county had 0 votes for Biden last election. In a state that Kamala won.

    This has very, "how come there were 30 points swings in the polls in under an hour" energy that MAGA had when mail-in ballots got processed in Pennsylvania and Arizona in 2020.

    But this doesn't even pass the smell test. Even if it was fraud, why? They just decided to do it in a suspicious way in a state they were never gonna win in the first place? What's the end game? Why make it zero votes at all? Why do it in New York?

    What are your thoughts on people who call others transphobic for saying that transracial (eg a white person identifying as black) isn't a thing?

    Jump

  • While I don't disagree that this point is almost exclusively made by trolls, the way you've phrased this implies you think they're correct in pointing out that it's a contradiction to no support trans-racial people.

    Trans-racial people clearly exist to some small degree (Rachel Dolozov being the famous example). Should people be defending her choice to identify as black, since race is just a social construct?

  • Dairy farmer's lawsuit claims Trump is discriminating against whites

    Jump

  • As an example, the lawsuit alleged that Faust and other white, male farmers are charged a $100 "administration fee" to participate in one program that exempts women and minority farmers from paying the same fee. In another example, Faust "participates in a USDA program that guarantees 90% of the value of loans to white farmers, but 95% to women and racial minorities," according to the report.

    While I'm not exactly sympathetic to the "plight of the white man," it is a little weird (if true) that the USDA can have a "white men only fee" for some programs.

    My understanding was that most DEI initiatives were built around breaking up old-boys-clubs by requiring preference for minority businesses when all other factors are considered equal. The above doesn't really feel like that.

  • Millions across US turn out for ‘No Kings’ protests against Donald Trump

    Jump

  • I mean, "matter"? I guess it doesn't.

    But you were saying things would have been different if they hadn't all voted for Trump. I was just pointing out that they probably didn't for the most part.

  • Other countries don't enshrine freedom of speech the way the US does. In many countries certain types of political speech are outlawed.

  • For this hardworking chef? Always

    Jump

  • That's fair. I think my issue was over the word "meal," though a quick Google shows you're right

    Maybe this is regional or something, but that really feels like 2 syllables to me. I pronounce it "mee-uhl," not "miel."

    But that could just be accent or whatever.

  • I feel like this is intended to be a haiku, but that middle line is 8 syllables, and that makes me sad. :(

  • A political institution in Europe in AD 30? The year Jesus began his public ministry?

    That's a pretty bold claim, lol. I assume they're just saying "the Catholic church" has been around since then, since that's when christianity started?

  • Biden administration warns against forced surgeries on intersex children in historic report

    Jump

  • Why do they need to be able to reproduce for their sex to count?

    They keep happening, even if they don't have children. It's just a fairly common mutation.

    There are plenty of genetic conditions that aren't hereditary. Like Down's Syndrome for instance.

  • See, I think you may just need a dictionary. Binary means there is one or the other, there is no "both or neither" option. If you have more than a forced "either/or" choice, then by definition it's not binary.

    True, false, and neither isn't binary by any definition you'll find in any dictionary.
