Spoken like a true maxi pad over ear wearing cultist.

Trump has made numerous racist and bigoted remarks over the last decade. This isn't up for debate, there's tons of footage of this with full context.

Now if you don't believe the things he said were racist or bigoted that just speaks to your character.

Absolute nonsense. A bunch of single digit tooth rural slack jaws having more voting power due to the EC and Senate are how millions of citizens lost reproductive rights. I'd wager that's a situation you'll never have to concern yourself with though.
You're sort of correct. I don't have to concern myself with it. I have 5 grandchildren and don't kill babies. You do you though. And by the way... you do know that there is no federal law that bans abortion, right? You can blame voters of individual states for whatever abortion laws you disagree with. The federal government doesn't have any business getting involved in that choice, and that's the only thing that the decision made clear. You seem to WANT the federal government to make that decision for everyone... as long as it's YOUR choice. Move your ass to a state that doesn't offend you with their laws... if you ever move out of your mom's basement at all...

Sigh, nobody is killing babies. No matter how much you try to categorize it as that. I can prove to you that even you don't think so.

Also, it's quite funny for you to say "as long as it's your choice" . That's the point. It's the individuals choice. If you don't want one, then don't get one. The pro choice position is the conservative position of not wanting the government more intertwined in our lives. You're the only one here trying to get the government involved. Don't forget the times after Roe's overturn that the GOP have outwardly stated that they want to do a federal ban.

Heck, I'm more middle ground with my opinion that it should be banned after 24 weeks. That's the lower end estimate of when a fetus can potentially become conscious.

You and I are probably not far apart on the abortion issue. but fwiw medicine is surpassing that old arbitrary 24 week measure of viability. Even at 23 weeks now, a baby's got a 55% shot at survival. In a few more years, it might be 22 weeks.

You gotta adopt unwanted children?
Honestly, pro-life is so shortsighted. People are going to get abortions, legal or otherwise. The only thing that pro-life is going to do is take abortions out of safe and clean doctors offices and put then back into dirty motels. It's stupid as fuck to think otherwise

Not so much in red states with overly-restrictive abortion laws. The best and brightest doctors have no reason to stick around and work in fear of criminal charges, and that causes a surge in infant mortality. Up nearly 13% in Texas between 2021 and 2022 alone.

Strange argument ... more babies are dying because they can't be aborted first.

But like I told @titan_tim, I'm pretty much with him, as in abortion needs to be legal and available on demand, up to a point. But if that "line in the sand" is viability, it's a moving target because pediatric ICU's have significantly lowered the viability threshold in recent years.

There's no "right" to abortion in the Constitution. But I support it being legal throughout the United States, up to the point of medical viability.

More babies are dying because pediatric and prenatal physicians have to fear draconian state laws even when doing everything by the book. Authoritarianism causes brain drain, and abortion bans are just the beginning when it comes to the far right's short-sighted plans to turn this country into a dystopia.

I don't feel it's just about viability or survivability. It's about when the being is actually a being. The consciousness of a fetus is between 24-28 weeks. Anything before that is just an empty husk.

Nobody that I talk to who are pro choice say anything crazy like around 8 months. The only time I'd say that should be possible is in extreme health situations.

That's because they're pro birth, not pro life. They want control over female bodies and decisional power about foetuses. Don't really give a damn about the mother. Or the child.

They ignore non viable pregnancies, infant and mother mortality rates going up as a result of Roe v wade being overturned. This cost the GOP the midterms in 2022 and special elections in 2023

Ah, big take your ball and go home energy
There's no sense in responding to you. I've exposed how shallow of a thinker that you are. There's no reason for me to kick that dead horse over and over again.

That's like Trump saying he doesn't want to debate Harris.
I don't blame him for not wanting to debate someone who received 0 primary votes.

If Harris picked someone from Hamas leadership as her VP, she'd be guaranteed to lose the election, and rightfully so. The Trump-Vance ticket deserves to drown in the extremist sewer that is Project 2025.
Agenda 47. Look it up and educate yourself. You look stupid out here.
The 2023 primaries were just for show, neither party allowed more than one challenger to their presumptive nominee. Things would've been different for the Democratic party in hindsight, but Biden's decline hadn't become obvious enough yet. Republicans had already become too cult-like to nominate someone other than Trump, but multiple younger white men would've caused a split in support.
At this point, there's no excuse being as ignorant as you are. Info is so easily available.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Republican_Party_presidential_primaries#Candidates

The Republican primary had:

Nikki Haley
Ron DeSantis
Asa Hutchinson
Vivek Ramaswamy
Chris Christie
Doug Burgum
Tim Scott
Mike Pence
Larry Elder
Perry Johnson
Will Hurd
Francis Suarez

Nobody was thrown off the ballot. They all quit willingly.

The Democrat primary had:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resul...Party_presidential_primaries#Major_candidates

Joe Biden
Dean Phillips
Marianne Williamson
Jason Palmer
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr

RFK was thrown off of ballots

Do you know anything at all?
Again, without the support of the voters, they would not have been able to get him to drop out. It was ultimately his choice, and ultimately the internal party polling that put the most pressure on him. Harris shattered the previous record for 24-hour campaign funding, from both big donors and individual voters, by more than double. Republicans like you obviously aren't happy that the Democratic party didn't have to go through several weeks of disarray before finding a new candidate, but that just makes Dems all the more united in their support for her.
He had the support of the voters. That's what it means to win a primary. Harris didn't shatter anything. Those were the donations the donors froze after Biden's horrible debate performance.

Tell me again how Dems are united. You don't even know what is going on in your own party.

There was a PAC with money that went her way, it's true. Future Forward had $150 million frozen for her. But she also fundraised a shitload of money from small-dollar donations. $81 million in 24 hours from those small-dollar donors. Trump's previous record was $52.8 million.
Democrats are energized right now. That's how it is.

Remember when conservative justices ruled IVF embryos were people?

These regressive judges are dangerous

I don't forget about many people are homeless in CA due to very expensive prices. Most companies are crooks and love to steal people money a lot for electric bills, water bills, etc are very wrong. I was shocked about bad man got arrested for set fire in CA to destroy most places this year 2024. Many people are fed up and angry right now. Wow! I can't believe that. Sad news. :(

You obviously stole this as you're nowhere as articulate to lie in this style.
I'd debunk one of them one by one but I'll just stop at the first, the stock market collapse is a lie by MAGAts like you, which keep hoping it happens, and it doesn't. And even if it did, it wouldn't affect you because you crawl the dust.

How many republican primary debates did he attend?
Trump received 17,015,756 votes in the primary. He was ahead by 30+ points the entire time. Will Kamabla be brave enough to debate Trump? Doubt it.

They won't be energized for long. Eventually, she'll need to do a press conference or a debate and once she goes off script, it'll be over.
