Transgender man wins VT primary (Dem)

[Fluffernutter]

Four were in rhe field:

The winner is the former head of a energy co-op for the state.

Her opponents were a 14 year old kid, a cultural dance organizer, and an "activist". I have no idea what they were advocating.

Incumbent is a rather popular Republican (yes, vermont has Republicans) governor

I'm a social democrat and I'd vote for the Republican incumbent if I lived there.

then you are an idiot. Surely the platform she is running on should be more important than what gender they claim?

 

[Deleted member 159002]

How is she denying who she is?

He claims to be a woman.

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

This sort of thing is a result of the LGBTQ movement.

More citizens bring engaged in politics that normally otherwise wouldnt? Seems like a good thing.

This is a question that should have been asked on November 7, 2016. Your answer is 62.9 million fucking retards, that's how many.

Yes . . . since voting for the alternative wouldn't have been as equally retarded.

 

[Leagon]

ITT: Conservatives who claim to hate identity politics play identity politics.

 

[GetTheseHands]

Let me guess "she" is a really big fan of Che Guevara?

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

What are her policies? What platform is she running on?
Will she uphold the vows of that political office?

These are the most important questions to ask.

Yes , I think transgenderism is weird, but it doesn't make her a bad person.

 

[SammyPops]

He claims to be a woman.

And?

 

[CauseImbetta]

Good for her.

You mean it.

 

[Darth_Inv1ctu5]

Yes . . . since voting for the alternative wouldn't have been as equally retarded.

Whatever sad lies you need to tell yourself to be able to look at yourself in the mirror every day bro...

Hillary is scum of this earth but to compare her to this steaming piece of shit in charge puts the person on par with him, and that should be an immense insult to anyone with even a modicum of human decency.

 

[TrueBias]

And?

Stop it.

Whatever sad lies you need to tell yourself to be able to look at yourself in the mirror every day bro...

Why do you think I would need to lie to myself in order to make through the day?

More does not equal better

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

More does not equal better

Why shouldn't this person be allowed to be involved in politics?

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

More does not equal better

In voting it does. More votes means a more involved democracy. Transparency and participation are two really important tenants to any democratic society.

 

[bad seed]

Of course NPR was gushing over this shit. I'm a social democrat and I'd vote for the Republican incumbent if I lived there.

no, you're not.

and lol@voting for a candidate with regressive tax policies and hostility towards universal health care over someone you dislike because you're uncomfortable with their genital situation.

That's right, I forget that there are actual human beings who don't see anything wrong with having voted for Trump.

Well, human beings is a generous term for you people. Cancer seems more apt.

The tolerance . . . it BURNS . . . .

And I forget that there are people who can't see the difference between voting against someone else by voting for another person . . .
