Trump infiltrated the pedo ring to bring it down, naturally.

Fewer workers are required when their productivity is enhanced.

Congrats on being a whole 10 years ahead of the US on same sex marriage. Your nation is clearly enlightened.

I’m as pissed off about the direction of the US under Trump as you are. But the US was moving in the right direction for decades before Trump. There will be a push and pull. The Democrats have been the ones moving things forward, and in-fighting in the face of evil will not make things better.

Gay marriage was a stepping stone. Democratic administrations have led the US forward on civil rights since Lyndon Johnson.

The first country to recognize gay marriage (not civil unions, which parts of the US already had) was the Netherlands in 2001. Almost all of the countries to do so since have been in Western Europe and the Americas. It may be a low bar to you, but it’s one that most have not risen above yet.

Look at the context of this thread. “Both sides” bullshit. The judges that nuked abortion rights were all on one side.

Which enlightened country are you from that it only recognized gay marriage in the last 25 years? Is your country immune to right wing propaganda? I’d love to hear how welcoming it is to immigrants of all skin tones.

No. But apparently we should be talking about reforming the Democrats when discussing this bill passed by almost every Republican.

The Democrats needed to all vote against this bill. And I don’t just mean in the Senate. The House too.

Then why have Congress vote at all? Why didn’t Trump just use an EO to put all the provisions he favored in place?

Right. Let’s vote out every Dem who voted for the bill.

What’s that you say?

That’s science reporting for you.

Fuck, I’m old. 30 years ago was the 90s.

There is still gay marriage in this country, and abortion was legal for 30 years. Very, very recently we have taken several steps to the right. Things have become much more open socially.

You get what you pay for.

Did AI write the headline? Article abstract is about detecting how much AI is in use by looking for an uptick in AI-favored words. Headline is about how scientists found out that AI prefers certain words.

If it were actually about the headline topic, the paper would be fatally flawed.

In science reporting, every result breaks a paradigm and has important applications in medicine or something else consumers relate to.

That’s science reporting in general.

The opposite. America is not exceptional in this at all.

That’s a fair assessment, actually. I think many voters often want change or don’t want change, and they don’t really consider which direction the change goes.

If anything bad is happening, whether it’s the current administration’s fault or the previous, they’ll be interested in trying something different.

And then in Obama’s second term he just had the incumbent’s advantage. Then neoliberal Biden, VP to Obama, won on change again. Then Trump won on changing back.

You may just be rationalizing because you don’t like neoliberal, so you think no one does.

That’s a narrative pushed here a lot, but I haven’t seen good evidence it is true.

Wasn’t Obama a neoliberal shitbag by your standards?
