***Official Political Discussion Thread***

Please elaborate Mamba

Hillary was a flawed candidate, but won the nomination overwhelmingly. She was up against Donald Trump. The Dems had the most progressive platform in history, but didn't like the messenger and didn't show out and show up in the places they needed to. We as progressives or independents who lean towards the liberal agenda are as much at fault as either of those entities. Especially the younger generation. Whine and moan and don't show up whether it's in a presidential or midterm election. Hopefully that changes going forward.

Here are the problems with that study:

It's a self reporting study. Self reporting studies are notiriously inaccurate and are not respectable in the science community. There's actually studies on self reporting studies that confirm this. Studies on studies on studies.

Secondly, you are reading his interpertation of the study. He doesn't say how he came to that conclusion because it's an abstract. He doesn't explain his mathematical method so we don't know the values he used. We're just taking his word. Which is why these studies aren't accurate.

Third, its one sample group and it's a very small sample group.

Also, there was no retest using his mathematical method. They are supposed to do this over and over again.

Lastly, he was assuming it wasn't a mental disorder to begin with and the people he interviewed were mentally stable enough to make the poll viable.

As for your DSM quote. Did you read it? They confirm that it's a disorder, they just nerf the hell of their wording so they don't get **** for it.

All of this totally goes against how they would normally classify disorders in the DSM and WHO. UNLESS, they are facing political backlash. Which it would be fair to say they are because the political landscape has changed on this subject.

It's a mental disorder and there's no science to say it isn't. Now you can use that and say that means I'm a transphob', but that will just prove my point even further. That, on this subject, you have no idea what you are talking about.

better dip our obese hypertensive POtuS in a Lazarus pit too.

Trump gonna be fine, Ginsburg? :lol: 85 b...
i think if she sneezes she'll turn to dust.

Trump gonna pick her replacement too...then? game over.

In spite of her small stature, Ginsburg saw her physical fitness improve since her first bout with cancer, being able to complete 20 full push-ups in a session before her 80th birthday.

Can your dapper donnie boy do that? Could he ever do that?

^ repped :lol:

I appreciate when someone is able to laugh at themselves.

I bet Trump can drink up 20 diet cokes within a week doe
because we can never laugh enough:

edit: Honestly, if it wasn't for the delusions and his wealth going to his head and his diet racism to go with his diet coke, I could imagine donald being a funny guy in another life. He would be the senile class clown and we'd love it.

I am out with my girl, not in front of a PC so I will have to spoon feed you later.

For some that clearly said some stupid about field studies, I would think you would humble yourself a lil. Then again it is you.

You seem to not know how an econometric model works, so that gives you confidence to talk like your school me.

Also, it seems like we both read what I posted, but only one of us read it critically. The mental illness is not being transgender, the mental disorder is the stress being have to deal with from being transgender. There is a difference.

If a solider has PTSD, the mental disorder is the stress from having gone through a traumatic event in war. It is not the fact he is a veteran. Get it?

You seem to be be really on a lot of conjecture, deflecting and frankly false theory ( the econometric) to give your argument legs.

Betsy DeVos, Rick Perry, and Sessions has legit outrage though.
The SCOTUS pick is whatever though, we knew he was going to pick a conservative judge. At least he's experienced and is qualified for the job whether or not we like his ideology.

No it had had initial outrage for a few days. Then you all moved onto something else. Her name is only being mentioned again because she made it out of committee.

Who's "you all"?
If it weren't for the immigration ban, the media would have kept focused on the cabinet choices, especially Betsy DeVos. People been angry of the nomination since she was announced.

People in my circle have been talking about her for days. We have kids in school though so it makes more sense I guess. I feel like most of yall in here do not have children.
