That's a horseshit take on what we're discussing here. My argument is that it's wrong to vote for the handful of Democrats that have decided to embrace bigotry. You then pretend that any criticism of any democrat is an attempt to keep people from voting for Democrats generally.

Do better. You're better than this. Disgraceful.

    We don't have the resources for a ground invasion. And nukes are extremely unlikely.

    What is more likely, and what the senator appears to be referring to, is bombing campaign aimed at destroying the vital civilian infrastructure of the country. Think power plants, bridges, ports, water treatment facilities, etc.

    Are you currently sexually active?

    Yes.

    Are you trying to get pregnant, or any chance of a pregnancy?

    No.

    What method of contraception are you using?

    Sex reassignment surgery.

    Seriously. How many random small town plumbers know anything about industrial-scale computer liquid cooling installation? How many local electricians know anything about data center electrical systems? It makes no sense to use local labor. The skills required are just too specialized.

    Josh Turek is exhibit A for the flaws in "vote blue no matter who, the primary is when to decide" - the thesis of centrist vote scolds. The problem is that the snakes hide their colors in the primary. Josh didn't reveal his transphobia in the general. He knows how easy it is to manipulate people who vote "blue no matter who." And it's not so simple as just waiting for the next primary. At that point, a then Senator Turek would be an incumbent, and those same centrist vote scolds switch to, "we can't primary this guy over something as trivial as trans rights! We can't give up a seat in a purple state over those people!"
