I said it before too but:

Gotta take the statement in context of the thread. I am sure there are a lot of people in environments that they have to continuously assert themselves just to be heard let alone recognized. The cis white men who typically embody this toxic masculinity are not in an oppressive environment, they are creating the oppressive environment.

One thing I've learned is that if you have to announce something about yourself, and announce it loudly and repeatedly, it's very much not true.

I'm going to be honest, I don't care. This is what WV voted for. And not some 51-55% of people. It's like 60-70%+of the view that the politicians putting in these policies received. WV has nothing going for it now that global warming is going to get rid of the coal industry eventually. They (the politicians and corporations) haven't looked to diversify the economy. The state is bottom 10 at least in terms of education, poverty, and standard of living. The state is going to die slowly and painfully just like so many deep red states.

Yeah. It's everything DeSantis has said in speaches and print regarding why and what he was doing to get back at Disney.

You can't expect Elon to read terms and conditions. He's a very busy man doing busy man things. It's not like reading ever cost him billions of dollars.

Nooo... Please.... Somebody stop him.... Don't go on national TV to provide more evidence to be used against you...

Convenient that all the articles that publications like Forbes and Harvard Business Review published on employees not wanting to return to the office for almost the last 2 years did not make it to any of those you maskers.seeing as they just didn't know and all.

My guy you still haven't answered the question. All I said was to just show me the recent article to back up your claim. You made a specific statement now show me the receipts. Don't tell me a bunch of tangentially related, unsubstantiated statements then end with telling me to do my research.

Then link that article. Sodomy laws are in the books in most states into the early 2000s, being an LGBTQ ally in the 70s was rare. Growth and allyship now are much more important than being bigoted 50 years ago. Personal growth and improvement is a cornerstone of progressive ideology. I will always have patience for people who are trying to improve and understand and that means that some people are going to be starting the journey at a dark place.

An article about someone's opinions from 50 years ago is not a valid criticism when those opinions have adapted with time. This is just like arguing that Republicans don't have racist policies since Lincoln abolished slavery. Could Biden do more to be more progressive yes but this is not a good argument for that stance.

I mean, yes and no. He's represented WV for the last 20+ years in some form and the coal industry looks him. He's still a good bet to win. Putting more money into a guy like Sherrod Brown to keep one of the OH seats would be great and AZ is a need to win but really what other seat would be a target?
