Everyone talking about how "brave" Jimmy is, let's see him put a MAGA hat on and simply walk around a gathering of Democrats that size. He wouldn't, because he knows who the real maniacs are.

Transgenderism remains a wholly incoherent worldview. Every time I ask a trans person or advocate how they "know" they're the opposite gender, they inevitably answer by confusing the inclination/disinclination to adhere to certain gender roles/norms with gender itself. That, or they say something like "I just feel like a woman". But that's incoherent too since none of us have a basis for that comparison. We've all only been just the one gender, so we'd have no way of knowing the difference between "feeling like" a man vs. "feeling like" a woman, or indeed if there is a difference at all.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but MSNBC has a point. Most of the Bernie supporters I've talked to have very little understanding of economics and history, and so they kind of just go with Bernie because he's better at appealing to our emotions, celebrities endorse him, etc. I won't be voting for Bernie myself (I'm one of those evil, "racist" Trump supporters), but it's precisely because of his policies. So although I know that Bernie lies, changes his position, and pursues his own self-interest just like any other politician, those aren't the reasons I won't vote for him. I disagree with his ideas for "revolutionizing" our country.

@teknoaija1762 "why would you even care?" Several reasons. First, I think the truth has inherent value, so we should seek it. Second, sometimes these ideas are pushed upon others; people try to control how others speak or even run their businesses with this worldview in mind. An admittedly distant third would be a concern I have for trans people themselves. Transgenderism seems to lend itself to high suicidality. And while some claim it's because they're sometimes treated poorly even to the point of assault, I think it's just as likely due to the constant struggle of defending an incoherent worldview. That, or thinking that most of the world hates them (when in reality we just disagree). "isn t there more pressing concerns there?" Sure. But who says we should only try to solve literally the world's greatest problems? "looks like you have some issues on your own identity" Unfounded. But even if I did, that would do nothing to refute my arguments. Even if I'm the worst human being on the face of the Earth, transgenderism would remain incoherent for the reasons I've given (and more).

@teknoaija1762 "i still wonder why you link this particular issue to truth." Because the pretense is that concerning a male who identifies as a woman it's correct that they're a woman and incorrect that they're a man, yet there is no objective definition for "man" or "woman" on your worldview, which means no one can ever be correct/incorrect while using those terms. If nothing else, that fact is a truth that should be known. "like i stated,there seems to be more pressing concerns linked to truth over there,wouldn t you say." Solving this problem and solving other problems are not mutually exclusive, and different people are more/less capable of solving different problems. "historically it has turned out that people with issues towards sexuality like hate preachers have turned out be gay themselves." I'm sure it's happened. But A. that doesn't mean all or even most of the "hate preachers" were gay, and B. even if they were all hypocrites, they were still either correct/incorrect in what they preached. Same goes for your last few sentences there. Even if conservatives and Republicans are just all a bunch of despicable trash, that just plain doesn't do anything to show they're wrong.

@teknoaija1762 "i still wonder why you feel so strongly about this." I've answered that twice now. The truth is important, transgenderism involves not telling the truth. People sometimes like to use this worldview to control what others can say or even how they run their business. And I'd like to see fewer people burdened with transgenderism which forces them to try and defend an indefensible worldview and seems to only boast a higher suicide rate. "i don t get why transgenders seem to threaten you guys so much." Unfounded. Unless you mean literally, because I have seen trans people get so angry at being "misgendered" that they literally threaten others physically. "why not just laugh them of" I guess for the same reason you're not willing to just laugh off what I'm saying? Why are you trying to correct me? Why do you "care so much"? "if you haven t read orwell s 1984 i suggest you do" Yes, changing definitions and creating new silly words for no good reason is a dangerous thing...

"We were embarrassed that Trump won our state by 23,000 votes." You mean you were embarrassed. Most of Wisconsin (the state you allegedly represent) was proud of it... Anyway, the problem with Bernie is that he wants to be like Scandinavia but doesn't realize that the way to do that isn't more government control but the free market. Scandinavia is considerably more free market than we are (e.g., no minimum wage laws, school vouchers, they don't penalize the wealthy with high corporate tax rates) because they learned their lesson about capitalism some time ago (especially Sweden). He is also a very divisive candidate. I know he likes to claim that Trump's the one "trying to divide us up", but Bernie's the one promoting class warfare against the "billionaire class", and saying that white people don't know what it's like to be poor. How unifying! Meanwhile, Trump's doing a great job, IMO. Will definitely be voting for him this time.

@residentone475 I hope it's true that Sanders' chances of winning are small, but I've learned not to take good news for granted. What makes you so confident he won't win? Jc.

My problems with Bernie are almost too many to count. He claims that Trump has divided the country despite the fact that he's the one promoting class warfare (i.e., against "the billionaire class"), nevermind that he's a millionaire himself. Like Buttigieg said, he issues for others a purity test he himself cannot pass. Instead, Bernie likes to pretend that there's some fundamental difference between his level of wealth and those who've made considerably more (e.g., maybe they're more "greedy" than he is?), but that's not an assumption he ever backs up with evidence. And BTW, people like to say he's "consistent" but that's false because the guy used to rail against the millionaires too, until he became one. Suddenly, and quite conveniently, millionaires were no longer part of the problem. Bernie also likes to call Trump a racist despite the fact that he's the one who panders to blacks/latinos with the victimhood mentality by saying whites don't know what it's like to be poor. Which is racist, a lie, and a way of dividing the American people! And speaking of lies, Bernie lies every bit as much as the other politicians. He lied multiple times on the Joe Rogan podcast, for example: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/post/bernie-lies-9-times-in-32-minutes-on-the-joe-rogan-experience-podcast And finally, Bernie refuses to admit that Trump has done well with the economy. And no, not "just for the upper 1%" as Bernie likes to claim. Members of all classes (and races, since the Democrats can't help but fixate on the color of people's skin) have benefited from Trump's economy. Record-low unemployment for blacks and latinos, over 7 million jobs provided overall. Average weekly paychecks are up 2.8%. The poverty rate and food stamp rolls declined. Real median household income (that's the amount earned by those in the very middle) hit $65,084 (in 2019 dollars) for the 12 months ending in July, which is the highest level ever and a gain of $4,144, or 6.8%, since he took office. There's more, but you get the idea. https://www.factcheck.org/2019/10/trumps-numbers-october-2019-update/ https://www.atr.org/thanks-trump-median-household-income-highest-level-ever https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/american-workers-thriving-thanks-president-donald-j-trumps-middle-class-tax-cuts/

@bobhall7257 "Your premise that you feel you are owed an explanation" Not my premise. No one's obligating you to respond. But I will point out that if you think I should call someone a woman or face some sort of consequence, that does put the burden of proof on your side in showing you're the one who's correct. "Personal experience is just that - personal." Ah but this isn't about questioning someone's experience; it's about questioning the validity of their beliefs or claims. "You have every right to protest if the actions of others impinge on your own freedoms." Sure wish every trans person/advocate agreed with you on that point. But they don't. "Homosexuality, transgender, non-binary sexuality are not new." Not sure what your point is. There are both good and bad things, both wise and foolish things in this world that are not new. "The “truth” you seek will likely come in the form of a greater understanding of biochemistry." Well I've heard a few arguments along those lines already, but none of them work. But feel free (and again, no obligation or pressure!) to provide an objective definition for "man" or "woman", referring to biochemistry or otherwise, anytime.

"Rebel HQ" aka "The Young Turks" aka Cenk Uygur who got destroyed by Ben Shapiro in a live debate (don't take my word for it, take Cenk's advice and "Google it!") and so now hides behind other people in YouTube videos rather than debating him face to face.
