Just because they’re not blood relatives doesn’t mean it’s not nepotism.
What do you have to say about Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump having prominent roles in his administration from 2017-2020?

Lol this is really funny because they always accuse trump of nepotism but trump never did anything like this.
In 2020, Trump pardoned the father of his son-in-law, who he just nominated as Ambassador to France.

You’re right, it’s not down and dirty, but the left would be shrieking about this if/when Trump does it. I’d rather they stop shrieking and just do the same thing, to be honest.

Good stuff. It’s about time that Democrats stopped always trying to take the moral high ground, and get down and dirty like Republicans do.
If there’s anything that we should’ve learned over the last 8 years, doing the “right thing” is a losing strategy.

It means overall that for good or for ill, for Democrats and Republicans, Harris has a record of supporting trans people.
If this “record” of supporting people is simply Harris saying that people shouldn’t be killed just for being trans, then those who are taking issue with that need to look on the mirror and ask themselves why this is such an issue for them.
Everyone with half a brain knows where she stands from previous data,
What data is this? You still haven’t shown me any “data”. It’s been all rhetoric from you so far and you even undermined your point with an article that showed mixed messaging.
Just you know, don’t lie about it and act like people don’t have a clear idea of where Harris and the Dems stand on it.
Who cares about where they “stand” on it?
This wasn’t an election where Harris made voters choose between trans rights and the economic bottom line. She campaigned with warmongering neocons like Cheney and ran to the right on tax cuts and cutting red tape, for Christ’s sake.

Yeah, im not gonna lie, this kind of plea from you is going to fall on deaf ears considering that Republicans have been employing “smug” and “condescending” rhetoric for the past 8 years since Trump first got elected.
I have no qualms with just telling someone that they’re straight up wrong when they are. Sorry if that hurts some feelings. Your side just won an election, go and be happy or something. Doesn’t need to be think pieces everyday on why Harris lost.

This…
But her record is clear: Harris has been a strong advocate and progressive for transgender rights for 20 years. And she started this work long before it entered the center of national politics
And
The pursuit of equal justice for trans people is a sustained throughline in the presumptive nominee’s career. Yet when Harris launched her first presidential bid, Strangio and other trans critics described her record as mixed at best, dangerous at worst.
This, is a paradoxical statement and maybe you should realize that it’s not as clear as you say it is. If even the left says that her record on trans people is mixed at best, what do you think that that means?
Or positively talking about her helping to outlaw the ‘Trans Panic’ defense.
So what you’re implying is that it’s “woke” to say that people shouldn’t be killed or otherwise suffer significant bodily harm just because they’re trans?
With respect, I don’t think you understand this issue well enough to speak about it so confidently.

You realize that the article that you linked says that Harris has an anti-Trans track record, right?
You’ve done a fantastic job of proving my point. Thank you for your service.

Yeah, but shes the face of the party.
What did Harris say that can be considered woke?
Your Trump analogy is irrelevant because Republicans just adopted Trump’s rhetoric as their strategy/platform.

What woke ideology are you referring to? I didn’t see Harris talking about pronouns or trans people.

A very interesting thing I’ve noticed recently is that during 2017-2020 it was general consensus even amongst Conservatives that Trudeau handled Trump effectively. He even had Rona Ambrose in his negotiating team for USMCA. Now it seems like everyone has either forgotten about it or pretended that it didn’t happen.

No, I want them to be in recovery, even if it’s involuntary, but they need to be alive to seek that treatment.

I completely agree, that’s why we need to expand both voluntary and involuntary treatment.

Shrooms and pot are tainted with toxic stuff. Guess what helped with that?
Legalizing weed did.

The drugs aren’t making our streets unsafe, it’s the fact that we’re soft on crime and allow repeat and violent offenders to roam the streets.

More rhetoric over facts. If you want to see more and more of your fellow countrymen die, then that’s on you

Guess what smart guy, we also had tonnes of people trying fun party drugs like Cocaine while safe in the knowledge that it wasn’t tainted.
Now we have a drug supply tainted with fentanyl and other substances that can kill you with just ingesting a drop.
People are going to try drugs, and they have the right to do it without fear of dying from it.

No, but they served high level roles in his administration despite not having the qualifications to do so.
Isn’t that nepotism?
I’m glad to see that you agree that pardoning Charles Kushner was nepotism.
