It's a f'ing shame to see how far left the democrats have went since the mid 90s . Nope the fringes won out and now the democrats are starting to see their base move away. I'm telling you, on Nov 7th 2016, a republican was not elected....
at least not in the sense of the party of Bush.
That I can agree with. It wouldn't have surprised me if the democrats could've pulled out a whole bunch from Trump if they didn't value the White House so much.
What he's stood for historically:
1. Universal healthcare
2. Improved infrastructure
3. Fair trade deals
I would take all those in a second in a vacuum. A complement here and there would've gotten them what they wanted.
No it wouldn't have. Complimenting Trump gets you no where in the long run. And why should anyone compliment Trump, unless he deserves it.
Tommy is one of those that only see's....ME. A one agenda person that thinks his agenda is the most important thing to the world. Tom is not a person. Tom is not a male. Tom is not a female. Tom is not white. Tom is not black.....
Tom is gay and nothing else matters
Actually, when you face an existential threat simply for being who you are then nothing else matters. Self preservation takes over. So, when I have a right to equal health care, equal participation, and equal standing in society, then lets talk.
I can promise you that to the Trump Admin, the fact that I am Gay is all that matters.
So for persons of color, and LGBT persons, that's all that matters. Don't whine about identity politics because you guys are simply amping it up to exponential heights.
To us, you are completely summed up by your support of Trump. It defines you so much more than the fact I am a Gay man.
No Tom, everyone is judged in one way or another. Not just the gay man. Not just the black man. Not just the brown man. You ever heard the term white trash? How about redneck? Only a few of us get to live our life without being judged in a negative way. If you really want to know struggles....try growing up poor, yes white and poor. The problem is you dont want equal treatment.....
you want to be special

You don't get to force all minorities into places where you can't see us and where we aren't fully participating in ALL facets of society.
That was the goal of segregation then, and Trumpism/white supremacy today.

White trash gets hospice beds. White trash has never been thrown out of a hospital in 40 degree weather in a wheelchair and then left to die in an emergency room parking lot. White trash doesn't get refused pre-paid cremation services. White trash can work for all taxpayer funded entities.
If there were death camps being set up for white trash in another country, the President wouldn't be trying to help that regime.
All of this refers to RECENT developments.

Once again, Tom has no credibility on this board. He had his chance to keep his credibility when the homophobic comments by Joy Reid came out, Instead of showing real character and integrity, he gave Reid a pass on her comments. So it has been proven that one issue Tom is just a typical liberal who just happens to be gay who, when faced with a chance to stand by his words, failed miserably. So I suggest ignore him.

Lets do it this way give the name of the place that refused your brother because he was gay? I posted the national guild lines for hospice and they take in people dying of Aids. So give me the name and I will file a open record request to see if the refuse people based on being gay.
I'm sure everyone of those examples happened. I'm just as sure I can find where it happened to a white person. ****** things sometimes happens in life....to us all.
My brother who was a dope addict was refused 10 times by doctors to fill out the paper work to get tested for the liver transplant list. You cant just go into a center and sign yourself up. You need a doctor to refer you. Mostly because he was a addict. It took me refusing to sign him out of the hospital till a doctor filled out the two pages to refer him to the Vanderbilt Hospital Liver Trans Plant Center.
So it took 11 times of begging...other wise those doctors were letting him die. Going on 7 years post transplant and other than one slip up, drug free.

LOL. Joy Reid said something bad 10 years ago. Trump and ALL of his defenders are advancing massive levels of real discrimination. Perspective.
I doubt I have much credibility with people who think that firing someone for being Gay is okay, that denying someone a hospice bed for being Gay is okay, that refusing to honor a pre-paid cremation contract because the deceased is Gay is okay, and that the enshrinement of taxpayer supported discrimination in health care is okay.
You don't see Gay people as human, much less as equals. Oh, and regarding your supposed "Gay friend". You support Trump and the GOP while they implement HB 1523 in Mississippi, which will deny him medical care.

BS, how so?
You think the right was sitting back being sweet between 2008 and 2016? There was drama. There were people threatening to move out of the country. Everything was a "get guns while you still can" moment. Even gay marriage.
Cool, calm, and collected was not a thing back for you guys back then.
I dont seem to remember the right explicitly gunning down Democratic congressman en masse. Please educate me as to when this happened since it obviously is so much the same....

It happens ALL the time to Gay people. Not just a one off. I'm still waiting to see if there's any legal action we can take. Or at least sue the doctor who made the medical determination that the hospice couldn't take him if they're daring to argue that it was a medical determination. Or file a medical complaint against his license. The situation is even more complicated by the fact that my brother died without a will and I'm waiting to get the court administrator out of the estate so they can't slow things down.
And there's a difference between trying to get into a medical program based upon a limited number of donors and just finding a bed to FRIGGIN DIE in.

Everything through the prism of gay. One trick pony.
........as I'm walking down any crowded city street - It's impossible to tell which males or females are gay UNLESS they present themselves in such a way as to advertise that they prefer the same sex sexually..............just wearing normal clothes with normal haircuts and normal "accessories" - no one can tell gay or not gay. Pretty tough to segregate when no one knows unless advertised.
