My brother (who has a daughter with Downs syndrome) voted for trump because he thinks he's gonna get more money as a peon that works for a medical company from home. 

Oh and he's super religious and hates women's rights. My mom was crying to me today because she doesn't understand how him and his twin ended up this way. Well the answer is simple - they became mindless religious idiots.

I find that I'm shown to be more compassionate on these tests than I feel I am in real life. Maybe I am a big softie and actually want to help people more than I think. Or maybe these things are usually skewed towards American politics and agreeing with universal healthcare puts me further left on the social scale than I otherwise would be.

You're more of a leftie than you think. 

I'm in favor of universal healthcare because people in healthcare are just too easy prey for crony capitalists and corruption.

But I do think there is a limit to what should be considered universal healthcare.
When we start talking about tax payer funded gender transition surgery for inmates that's a no from me.

Would you be okay with inmates paying for their own gender transition surgery with the money they make from making all those license plates? I assume they get an allowance or something. Or as a reward for good behavior maybe?

User Banned (Permanent): Dismissing transphobia, junior account

This is an honest question. Have any of you all had substantive conversations about the fears and concerns of the Trans movement with people beyond your own echo chambers? I have and the takes are genuinely interesting. It is clear that this issue is talked about similarly in right and left households, households of different ethnic backgrounds, different religious backgrounds. Maga found an issue that fractured the left. It seems there is a big problem with even discussing Trans without fear of being called a transphobe. What we are trying to do, is get millions of people to change what they have been taught for years. Change something that seemed so simple to understand. Never have we discussed the nuance between gender and sex and even good and open hearted people feel as if something radical is being thrust upon them.

During every single football game all across the country was the Kamala trans Ad, and let me tell you… it strikes a nerve in good people. Democrats need to find an affective way to discuss this because let me tell you, they are far off the mark.

In the end we will probably see that 10 million people that voted for Biden ABSTAINED from voting. They didn't switch parties. They stayed home. We have to ask why? As sad as it is to say, Trans and LGBTQ+ education to kids is a BIG one. It's a silent talking point NOT showing up in the polls because pollsters are either not putting it or not understanding that a lot of people on the left are ashamed to admit it.

User Banned (Permanent): Di8smissing transphobia, history of the same.

"Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face

I dont disagree with this sentiment.
I'm not american but its not hard to see that the Left has seemingly forced the DEMs into a purity problem.
When a democrat is not pure and does not espouse every single virtue aspired by the left, they are demonized.
I think the left electorate needs to take a personal evaluation.

Two reseterans just trying to have an open dialogue about democratic politics.

I am quite aware that everything signals a romantic bond between them. As said, I just don't want it. Maybe Beyond will convince me. I just wish they showed Gwen bonding with anyone other than Miles. Unfortunately it's ultimately Miles' story, so there's is less room for Gwen. I'm happy she has a proper character arc, because I would loath her just existing to be the love interest. Which is what Into originally set her up as.

Also apart of it for me is how mildly creepy Miles is at times. He's a teenage boy so it's "fine" but his relationship with girls/women is literally just his mom and Gwen. His uncle did not instill the best values in him.

Prince Lesbian Fetish

I acknowledge my framing isn't the best and veers into problematic territory. I tried to not do that but I still did. I sincerely apologize for that.

To clear the air, I'm engaging with the discussion because I do like Miles and Gwen in the films, a lot. I'm very emotionally invested in both of them. However, I'll bow out as I do not think I can bring my nuances to the table in an appropriate manner. Particularly one that is respectful enough to the Black community.

Just stop being a fucking weirdo. Christ almighty. Get some therapy for your delusions and maybe actual real women will talk to you, unlikely though.

Scratch a liberal, and a racist squeals.

I am also done with the Democratic Party until they understand that I am not interested in voting for conservatives just because they dangle Pride flags in my face.

nep is the best troll.

it plucks at all the right strings

Someone really just needs to ask Nep what type of neighbourhood she lives in.

Well, yes. TPS is supposed to be temporary. While there might be some litigation in the courts in how quickly they end it, he's within his power to do so.

That's a no from me too. We have significant problems with what gets considered "elective" surgery in our public hospitals. We also have a National Disability Insurance Scheme which was being rorted by everyone. People arguing that they should be able to get the NDIS to pay for their visits to sex workers because their disability prevented them from leading normal sex lives. 

I'm all about a fair and just society, but within reason please.

Nah

It's cuz the majority of Americans are literally retarded

Fine, I'll elaborate but if you see no room for nuance then this will be a lengthy exercise in futility.

Touching someone and invading their personal space, without any hint of permission, in order to hit on them is not cool. Aaron teaching Miles that is not cool. His masculine bravado is outdated at best. Yes, it's played for laughs and obviously that was a good choice so as to not play into harmful/racist stereotypes. While also showing that it's not a good thing to do. The creative team does a similar thing in Across by having Gwen react fondly/positively to Miles' journal of obsession. I can better frame my point by saying Miles is an awkward teenager who does things that are genuinely creepy in real life. I say that with some ounce of authority, because I'm a trans woman and once was a "teenage boy" with creepy, awkward crushes/obsessions. Am I projecting onto Miles? Absolutely! It comes from my own personal lived experience. It's from a place of empathy that I cringe at some of Miles' actions while also loving him as a character.

I am not a fan of Aaron's portrayal in Spider-Verse, there isn't a lot of nuance to his character like there is in the Insomniac games. He's the cool uncle that encourages Miles' creative spirit which goes outside what is "lawful." That part is fine, great even, as it ties into being a vigilante which all Spider-People are (generally speaking). But (in the film) he's also kinda literally a villain that is willing to kill a kid until he realizes it's his own damn nephew. Mind you, I'm cognisant of the fact that he works for Kingpin. There may have been an attempt at commentary there but it goes nowhere as he almost immediately dies so as to be this Miles' equivalent of Uncle Ben. Uncle Aaron evoking Uncle Ben is deliberate in that it's a shorthand to show he instilled some wisdom into Miles. Which is muddied in the execution of the movie but is reinforced by Miles still loving his uncle and paying tribute to him through graffiti. A medium of rebellion and expression outside of (white) laws. They had elements of something great there but fell short.

My intent was to convey that Aaron didn't have good wisdom to give Miles in regards to approaching girls/women. How I expressed and worded that in my original post is not okay, and I again apologize for that.

Yes, this can boil down to me not liking Miles/Gwen for personal reasons and it does to a degree. It can simultaneously be true that I genuinely feel they are better as friends as of Beyond. As I said in another post, I can be sold on them as a romantic pairing. It's plenty possible that Beyond will be able to do that after we see the rest of Miles' arc and how Gwen's ties into it. Especially after she betrayed Miles and was not a good ally to him.

I do not view Miles as a "threat" to Gwen, and I apologize for using rhetoric that, intentionally or not, plays into racist notions. I also realize the importance of Black boys/men getting together romantically with white girls/women in mainstream media, especially when it's aimed at children. "Children's animation" is a very important medium for conveying good and progressive messages/representation to children, as well as adults. Especially for minorities. My personal feelings on the pairing should not take away from that, but I realize they can and probably do.

I could not convey what I wanted to in a concise manner, so here's my verbose thoughts. Warts and all.

If Miles was a woman this would all be fine for our little Princess.
