Whole thing is bonkers but highlighting this for how freely he asserts absurdities. Pharma getting rich off of generics sold to <0.1% of people? And that's going to destroy the gender binary? The VP made a stream of ludicrously false claims, and it passed by without any political penalty.
As the saying goes—if they can get you to believe absurdly they can get you to commit atrocities.
Why aren't prominent Democrats taking this on? Where are they?
I'll never understand how it is possible to get people to support fascism by threatening them with gender ambiguity.
I'm kinda avoiding housework right now but couldn't get through it. It would be like getting a root canal to put off washing the windows. That's painful to read.
"The "gender binary" that has structured social relations between the genders for the whole of Western Civilization." - JD Vance
Were I his tutor/editor, this diatribe would be returned without a mark for another attempt based on this par alone.
Without even reading the piece, the headshot they used is so utterly comical as to introduce it as utter tripe.
I have been saying this for so fucking long. The structure for this argument to go by without any pushback was constructed every time me, the tranny, was sitting there yelling this argument over a sea of placid cis faces that could lift a fucking finger to learn anything about the targets of hate.
Not one time was I joined by any fucking one that would call themselves liberal. Not one time did I come into a situation where someone who was not trans was making this point. And it happened over and over and over again, and *nothing* was done. I am one person. This was argued thousands of times.
Liberals need to actually learn. On their fucking own. I don't want to hear "we're listening now", or "please educate us" or any of that shit because I heard it all before and it changed nothing. You need to want to fucking win. You need to want to stuff his dumb fucking face into his words.
I do not believe that liberals want to win. I believe they want to score points in a game and then shake hands after. And because of that, you will never fucking beat this *dumb as fuck argument*. So what does that make you, then?
It has been 10 fucking years, can you adequately respond to this argument? Can you actually? Without looking it up, without any help, can you respond the way Max just did? Can you honestly say that? And no offense, Max; that's the bare minimum.
I couldn’t finish this because I just ate, but when did the billionaire class get behind the far left? Did I miss something?
i think the intention is you bring your own antisemitic conspiracy theory with for that kind of statement.
And by far the most common indication for leuprolide is central precocious puberty in pre-adolescent cis girls
Our lame broken media is failing at its job
I don't understand how lying by elected officials became normalized to this level.
As soon as I saw the word Communist I was out.
Vance forgot to include the most damning thing: Pharma is eating their pets!
Well, he lied about immigrants (in the state he was elected to represent) *literally* eating cats and dogs, peoples pets, then justified the lie by saying he used it to call attention, and then tripled down on the lie after he had already admitted he made it up. So, yeah, precedent, I guess. 🤷
"ludicrously false claims with no political penalty" is the motto of Claremont, in fairness.
But, like, probably in Latin.
