Or is this naive optimism? We HOPE he isn't, but all signs indicate OP of this comment is correct. Don't bury your head in the sand. Recognize the reality and keep fighting to turn it around. And definitely DO NOT join in the gaslighting bullshit. Biden didn't just "have a bad debate night". He's senile and has dementia... Don't try to pretend he doesn't. Stick to the fact that at least with him we'll get a not batshit insane cabinet, and at least the government will be fighting against the fascists in the upcoming civil war, instead of fighting with them.

Nah... Not sure what you think those words mean, but no one's talking about genetics or the eradication of a race of people.

Guilty

Neither of those words apply here.

Certainly not as long as the corporations are in control of the government

But in this case the "wrong option" means a human being will suffer terribly (assuming we're talking about parents who wouldn't pass the test)... Do we not ethically owe it to children/humanity to take some level of precautions against allowing them to grow up in hell?

Well, yeah, that would be the best way to go... I'd still think people should have to pass a class before they're allowed to be responsible for another human beings entire life

Yes... But should they get that choice?

If I could wave a magic wand, I'd make it so every 12 year old that could make sperm (trans, cis, whatever) gets a reversible vasectomy automatically. Then, if/when they ever want and plan for starting a family, they can take the class on childhood development and how to be a good parent who raises not shitty humans. If they pass, great! They get to undo the vasectomy and try for a family. If not, oh well, no one wanted to have to support your shitty kids in the first place.

I have no idea how something like this could ever actually be implemented in a fair way... Hense the need for the magic wand

How do you think sex toys get charged up?

When I was campaigning for Bernie, I ran into two groups of people who you just COULD NOT have a reasonable conversation with... Magas and Clinton liberals... They just will not/cannot see reality

Oooo look at the pretty gaslight!

If Biden loses us democracy, then he deserves nothing less

I just wish he'd take these domestic terrorist threats seriously and send them all to Guantanamo while he still can... You know, "officially"

-when Biden fails

He's mistaking qualifications with electability. To be fair, boomers grew up in a society that was much more of a meritocracy and he's probably confused about what century he's in.

Is this backed by research? Assuming any if these things are true, are there any other/better/cheaper ways to get these same results?

I don't mean that the media works FOR the DNC... They both work for the oligarchy... If the oligarchy wanted people to know about the climate bill, the media would shove it down our throats 24/7

Personally I think the oligarchy is currently going for as much chaos as possible, driving towards a major culling of the herd through war and the collapse of western society... But hopefully that's just me

The DNC and corporate media walk hand in hand... They're both bought and paid for by the same oligarchy

It's all the same oligarchy pulling the strings

When healthy people are angry they use healthy coping skills to deescalate and then approach the conversation in a calm and rational way. Regardless of whether this is a full-blown mental illness or not, assuming this was really her reaction, something is not okay.

This is not gaslighting, but it is odd.

What would have happened if you had just said "sorry I'm really busy with work today and won't be able to meet you at the drop off"?

If this would cause her to act the same way, then there's something wrong. Maybe she recently did a true crime binge and is feeling insecure about her safety? Or maybe she's showing signs of mental illness. If you guys are in your early 20s, that's when schizophrenia typically shows up, and can definitely have some paranoia to it. But, you'd need to get a professional to diagnose something like that.

If it wouldn't cause her to act like this, then she's probably just pissed you didn't do what you said you would do. Maybe you have a track record of this kind of behavior and she's starting to get tired of it?
