Yea I think even if they make it classified or top secret or whatever folks in congress on committees can review and get updates etc and possibly justices I don’t know but yea even with security clearance that’s better than having it be some random thing in space x although nsa will have access to their communications

Yea I don’t care about her name as much as I do about her policy for sure, it’s just an interesting point someone brought up about how Vivek may have trouble getting elected with a “foreign” sounding name.

As someone who has traveled across the country multiple times i am slightly weary of going through Ohio because of hillbilly racism, and I am a white dude

And that has nothing to do with the fact that Nikki sounds more “American”

Anyway, now I have to look up Beto’s real name. The topic is interesting because elected officials are changing their names, I’m not sure it relates to why trans folks change their names as much as you seem to think it does.

Wasn’t me you were asking. I have a few trans friends and I try to use the correct name but when you have known and lived with them for close to ten years sometimes I mess up lol.

What is dead naming again? Calling them the wrong name intentionally as an insult?

Has anyone asked her why she changed her name? I’ve heard or read articles suggesting that it was done to sound more white from progressive circles… I don’t really care if someone changes their name but it is interesting if they are doing it because their own constituents would see them as “other” had they not done it.

Ted Cruz is another example I think.

And oh yea don’t we have our first trans representative in congress now? I can’t remember what state but I remember Margerine Green Potato trying to pass a bill about bathrooms in the capitol recently?

Because they are running for fucking governor dude

I was born a poor, black child.

Come on now you’re being ridiculous.

I hear what you are saying but in this context, someone is saying Vivek can not be elected in Ohio because of racism… they are saying yes that these folks with foreign sounding birth names were elected but only because they changed their names to something that sounds less “foreign” whatever that means.

While I can agree with you about anyone being able to change their name to whatever they want I don’t think the criticism you are trying to apply here is very…. Without a better word… accurate?

They are simply suggesting that Ohioans will vote for a foreigner or someone if they have a so called white sounding name. I have no idea if it’s true or not, but it feels like you’re being more of a troll here than actually than anything else.

Of course a trans person can change their name so other people can better relate and interact with the gender they identify with…. I hear you saying that you are trying to be true to your beliefs whether you support the persons politics, which is awesome I hope we can all strive to do the same.

I don’t think the poster cared that they changed their names to become governor of Ohio, but it is interesting… i have not seen or heard of any data that supports their premise, but anecdotally is sounds reasonable.

I knew it!

I can only assume you are a bot or a person who only consumes corporate media and state department propaganda, so 50/50 your either a bot or a bot.

It’s laughable to argue that the main source of their economic issues are not the sanctions.

This tells me that you are not arguing in good faith.

You being from Columbia and having met a few Venezuelan immigrants is anecdotal evidence.

I also am friends and know some Venezuelan immigrants.

If someone who went to Harvard and has a trust fund leaves the United States and they tell foreigners what it was like for them growing up, how similar to the average American is their experience… not very similar at all…

We can help the guy from Harvard but his lived experience is not the absolute truth of all Americans…..

This is what I mean.

Likewise, if someone was born an orphan in a bankrupt church, their lived experience is not all Americans lived experience…

Edit: it’s also somewhat reasonable to assume that maduro supporters would not be leaving the country

It’s also difficult to get an honest picture of what is happening there as pretty much all western media has blatantly supported the more than a dozen coup attempts by the USA since 2000 alone. Folks who are able to get out are also biased in one way or another. We can empathize with their lived experience and try to help the immigrants without taking their personal experience to be the absolute truth of the experiences of all Venezuelans. But again, most of the issues that affect the citizens are directly caused by US sanctions, not Maduro or the government.

I can believe that the poor folks would suffer the most so I can’t disagree with you there, but Venezuela is a bad comparison to make, per your original comment I posted to, as far as the point you were trying to make on the orginal thread topic.

They are already bathing in their own tears. They are just happy now that there are a few lib tears in their already full bathtub.

I think it’s a cute video, if not a bit cringe….

But what weirds me out is that there is no policy, nothing in the video that suggests Trump will do anything to help the people dancing in the video…

just a celebration that their team won and now they “owned the libs”

It’s telling that people are literally celebrating trumps victory and shouting in joy because now “they” will suffer more than “us”, even if the suffering of both groups will rise.

Venezuela has been hurt by sanctions because the government was helping the people. The wealthy people of Venezuela don’t like the government because it is more socialist.

*most

Edit: on the scale of all women versus all men, it’s not even close. Men are by far the hornier of the two biological sexes. There are specific women who can be hornier than a lot of men, and there are men who are not sexual at all…. This does not mean that it is incorrect to generalize and say that men are hornier.

*men are hornier

lol… I couldn’t figure out what you were talking about until I zoomed out and saw a mod deleted a comment
