more of the people bitching about the ultimate candidate actually voted in the primaries

I want to push back on this. "The people bitching" were probably out knocking doors for their candidate with me. It's just one more insult that moderates use. We don't have the massive get out the vote machine that the establishment does, but my guess is that the most vocal people are pretty active.

they may have made a difference

"May" is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting here.

The DNC is a private entity able to pick it's candidate however it deems fit. The primaries are like a basketball game where the refs are wearing the other team's uniforms.

Yeah, that's about what I'm thinking. A manned mission to Mars could be an interesting project for our kids or grandkids. Anyone talking about it in our lifetimes is just a grifter.

When it comes to sports there really is not any question any more. Again, I'm not a physician, but any given sports body can determine what a trans woman needs to do to compete on a level playing field with cis women.

This is best evidenced by the lack of trans women superstars. Despite the Daily Wire's recent magnum opus, trans women compete and lose all the time in women's sports, it's only the transphobes who have a problem with them ~~competing~~ at all.

2016 and 2020 make great examples of how the Democratic establishment rallies around their preferred candidate to ensure that The centrist choice wins. There was a lot of activism in the primaries, how in the world can you call that "showing up to bitch"? Then this year Biden conveniently did not allow us to have primaries.

You really can't tell progressives to just "vote in the primaries" when it's very clear that Democrats will do everything in their power to prevent a progressive from being nominated.

There's one party that pretends to support it publicly as long as they can blame the Republicans for "blocking it".

Ftfy. This is the Democrats go to game plan.

It is insulting to pretend Democrats support ranked choice voting while they're suing to keep it off of the ballot in DC.

I love the aesthetic. I fully support Art Deco public transportation.

A bus designed by someone who absolutely hates public transportation is pretty funny though. "I wish these seats faced each other so I could sit knee to knee with a stranger." -Nobody Ever

And there's so little passenger space, they have a "luggage" compartment in the front. So I suppose I'm just supposed to put my bag there, out of my sight, then hope nobody takes it before I get off?

Can you think of any realistic benefit to a manned mission to Mars?

Bringing back samples would be an amazing feat, and that seems a worthwhile mission. Having a human onboard seems to complicate things far more than any data that would give us would be worth.

Lol. Can't imagine why someone would call you transphobic for "lump in the trans with the disabled". LMAO.

I regret being so polite earlier. ✌🏾

Have you shopped for groceries in the last 5 years? See one cashier watching 4 self check out lanes? Then how could you still believe this?

Don't you feel so much more Freedom™ now that your state government can decide whether or not a pregnant person get healthcare, instead of just leaving it up to her and her doctor? We need to stop the tyranny of the Federal government just deciding carte blanche that any two consenting adults can get married and let communities decide whether to allow miscegenation or if your local community prefers to put a bounty on the heads of mulattos and quadroons. /s
