@DavidHa92950084 @ErrantWayfarer @PayaCahuite @TravellerLGBT Look there's a lot wrong with everything you're saying but this in particular is just patently false. Very few mental illnesses prevent someone from being competent enough to make decisions about their care. You made that up, and it's very ableist

@StealthyGains @James_Blond00D @ninaturner with equal force. I’d like to respectfully suggest that you focus less on your own behavior and more on how your behavior impacts others. Treating people in a way that minimizes harm is a much better measure of moral character than “treating everyone equally.” 2/

@StealthyGains @James_Blond00D @ninaturner Punching down causes more harm than punching up. Treating others equally when the playing field is unequal leads to greater inequity. To maintain the analogy, punching an old woman with osteoporosis is going to be much more damaging than punching a 25-year-old olympic athlete 1/

@trouble_man90 Schrodinger's leftists: a group simultaneously too small and lacking in influence that democrats shouldn't bother appealing to them and trying to win their votes, yet so large and influential that they determine the outcome of every election

@terrym4h @AnjaliEnjeti And the more you make excuses for them and blame the people at the bottom, the easier it is for those at the top to callously play with our lives like pieces on a chessboard instead of listening to us, as politicians in a democracy are supposed to do

@terrym4h @AnjaliEnjeti them that their policies are about to lose them the election. These are thinking, breathing people with a job to do, and they continued to veer right because it would protect the ruling class regardless of who won.

@terrym4h @AnjaliEnjeti If the seat belts are killing people then you should, in fact, criticize the seat belts

@_celia_bedelia_ I think you'll often find that people who AREN'T elected to public office then don't use the power granted by that position

@_celia_bedelia_ "After we all agree not to hire Candidate X to run our company, I want everyone to check in and see what said candidate is doing to improve the company's operations"

Could you, and I'm literally begging here, ask what the people IN POWER are doing to stop the genocide?

@KamalaHarris That's a bad thing

@Rabbi_Sykes @briebriejoy Then yall better stfu about the anti-war left when Harris loses in November.

@ArmandDoma @briebriejoy Y'all love to argue semantics and think it makes you look smart while ignoring context and nuance. OP isn't saying militaries aren't or shouldn't be lethal, she's saying making our military more lethal shouldn't be a central tenet of Harris's campaign

@karasoth @BluePatriot55 @cmclymer An essential feature of responsible gun ownership is keeping that weapon out of the hands of anyone other than the gun's owner. Failing to do that for any reason is irresponsible gun ownership.

@TheIdeaSpectrum @EricMcC6 @AbortionChat I do not have the right to use someone else's body for my own survival. Period. Fetuses should not be afforded more rights than a born person. That's what you're advocating for when you say a woman should be compelled to let another human use her body for its survival.

[⌛ @make_it_better0]

@TheIdeaSpectrum @EricMcC6 @AbortionChat If I, an adult human being, were in a state where my body could no longer keep itself alive on its own, NO ONE (including my mother) would be obligated to let me hook myself up to them and use their body to sustain myself. That is what bodily autonomy means.

@lisakeb007 @MavenOfMayhem wait until the abuses become too obvious to ignore. That's our duty as a society. Studying history is how we avoid repeating it. And studying history will show you that it didn't start with camps. It started with phobias and -isms.

@lisakeb007 @MavenOfMayhem made the Holocaust possible. Experts are telling you that what's happening right now are the early stages. Holocaust survivors are telling you that. Listen to them. Don't discount the evidence because it doesn't look like the end result yet. We're supposed to stop it NOW, not
