  • As a leftist I think that transsexuals should not be discriminated against. I'm also highly disturbed by the idea of medicalizing everything and turning a sexual identity into an excuse for prescribing dangerous and harsh drugs and body modification surgery. The whole thing feels like an op by the for-profit healthcare industry.

  • Wasn't just Clyburn. Obama organized for all the candidates besides Biden and Warren to drop out ahead of SC. This was to ensure that the centerists didn't siphon votes from Biden but Warren did siphon votes from Bernie.

    Also Biden didn't have the organization to do well on super tuesday because the establishment didn't like him until they decided he was their only choice for stopping Bernie, so his campaign was anemic and underfunded. They solved this by having the democratic committeemen step in as an impromptu campaign organization where Biden didn't otherwise have get out the vote operations. So they had the democratic party whipping up votes for a particular candidate in their own primary election.

  • The future of the WORLD is literally dependent on this election

    Been hearing this every four years my entire life.

    Booting this incumbent and hoping his VP

    I agree. Kamala is the worst politician in America. How did we end up in the timeline where we're stuck in the plot of VEEP?

  • I was going to vote for biden but trump showed real gumption when he got shot so i switched sides

    [This is what Democrats actually believe America would do]

    The fact that Democrats decided that the race was over when he got not-shot shows how unserious they are.

  • Separately Canada has an Ambassador to the UN.

    Do you think he and the consul-general room together?

    By the way, the building that he's moving into is literally part of "Billianare's Row." It's the swankiest of the swanky ultra-tall-and-narrow "every apartment is a penthouse" building built along central park in recent years. I guarantee you there are cheaper places to live in Manhattan.

  • One thing that's crazy is during 2008 Canada was one of the only countries where were no housing busts or bank failures. It was explained at the time that they didn't deregulate like the US did in the 90s, and didn't go crazy with Eurodollar and derivative speculation like the European banks.

    The takeaway was that in Canada banking is still a boring business managed by professional adults, overseen by stern but fair regulators who would ensure that things don't get out of hand.

    So what the hell happened? Seemed like the Canadian government and finance people took the lesson that they missed out on a hell of a party and they're going to have their own housing bubble with blackjack and whatnot.

  • Why does Canada need a consul general in New York City? It's not capital of any government. It''s not very far from Canada, so Canadians in need of consular services could probably find someplace more convenient. The whole thing seems like a way to grift the Canadian taxpayers into swanky Manhattan digs for some well-connected asshole.
