I think pansexual should be for people who would fuck an alien who has no corollary on the human gender spectrum.

I'm speechless

It kind of is. There is are a lot of people in the early stages of dementia or Alzheimer's who get easily confused and are aware that they can't trust their own memory. It's very easy to see how they could be talked into trusting someone they shouldn't.

I'm in Chicago. Plentiful pedestrian options. We have 100 degree days and -20 days. There are by far fewer pedestrians when it is cold than when it is warm. It's not even comparable.

So you maintain that there are the same amount of pedestrians when it is 80F as when it is -20F? Does that mat make sense to anyone?

It's not like there are many pedestrians in Minnesota in November. Places where it is warm year round would correspondingly have foot traffic year round.

The party of sore losers.

In the last 13 years there have been 2 years where the Republicans weren't blocking all Democratic legislation and that was at the peak of COVID where passing the American Rescue Plan and other associated pandemic recovery acts took priority. Before that the only other time there was a free path to pass something was when the ACA passed.

Because you need more than half the votes. If none of the Republicans and even 10% of Democrats vote against a bill, it will fail. The ACA is a long way from universal healthcare but even that compromise had Republicans try hundreds of times to repeal it.

Dems have tried many times, but it is always blocked.

Those unpopular things usually have bipartisan support

110% agree. The tough part is that simple appealing lies are so much easier to sell people than messy complex truths.

Someone will give those voices a platform. At least you can guarantee that isn't the only voice people hear.
