Trump brought this up in the debate as something Biden/Harris couldn't get done. I was bothered by the fact that it's republicans and Trump judges holding it up. Like, Fuck you Trump.

Ugh, now all I can afford is "not me" to install them. Not experts that's for sure.

(this is not a joke, not really).

Insanity, especially considering trans people are more likely to be victims than perpetrators.

No, I have a lot of experience in liberal organizations and they are not, despite the memes, closer to conservatism than progressivism. It honestly makes me feel like most people on lemmy have never really worked with liberal groups.

The major differences between a liberal and a social democrat or progressive comes down largely to deciding when a market has failed and when to use government intervention, both Liberals and progressives are fine with intervention, only the threshold changea. We want the same things, mostly, but disagree on how to get them.

Conservatives, philosophical Conservatives anyway, won't typically even consider such a thing, and often do not even want the same things as Liberals or progressives.

This both sides same stuff just hurts progressive causes, because it sours mushy people with little to no real philosophy on voting for liberal parties. Those people flip flop back to Conservatives when they get angry and we lose the progress we've made, as is about to happen in Canada.

I know that conflating Liberals and Conservatives is practically lemmys official pass time, but I have to point out they are not the same.

The insidious nature of systemic racism is why. White men are given the widest possible berth to acquire weapons and play vigilante. As we saw here, a white guy who talks about murdering people can, over and over, put himself into dangerous situations until he gets the opportunity to kill and get away with it. This isn't even the only example in the last five years.

I guess we'll see.

Or filtering, paraphrasing and interpreting his rambling to the point that people watching at home think he is actually knowledgeable about these topics.

This is no different than he has been since he came down that escalator, this is how all his answers sound when they're about things he is ignorant of. Have we forgotten "look having nuclear" or countless other examples?

I think you're confusing social democracy with democratic socialism. The first is as you say, and has huge overlap with liberalism, left liberalism, and progressive liberalism.

The second is achieving socialism through democratic means, without the need to overthrow government as once was believed to be entirely nessecary.

But then again, terms do change context over time, and by place. So maybe I'm the one who is wrong.

Conservatives have no media literacy and its a global problem.
