Let's talk politics.

I'm not a feminist. In fact I think I'm borderline lesbian.

Well...good luck with that smear test!

Why are the conservative Republican candidates anti abortion, even in the case of rape and also against funding Planned Parenthood whose primary focus (97%) is to prevent unwanted pregnancy (eliminating the need for abortion)? Abortion clinics only represent 3% of its budget.

Well I suppose that's a start, but don't believe all their propaganda that they feed everyone through the media. You are just as capable as me or anyone, the only people holding anyone back is themselves, everyone faces obstacles, skill is the true measure of the average persons value in a capitalist society.

White males are holding me back with their oppressive racist behavior. They control everything and they have all the money.

Let's get back on track here. We are talking politics and we are not going to turn this into a racist debate.

That's a bs excuse asssociated with the lazy

What I kind of gathered from politics that it is a dirty game.

Most people who get into politics promise things just to be elected or overall be involved. Most do it for the money since they get paid really well while there are those who are really trying to make a change while they are often a minority.

I think that most politicians try to keep things intact so things will not get worse.

I find it quite weird that in most countries we let people make choises for us who really cannot relate to a normal person. By this I mean living in hotels , having a driver and a private car with high salaries much more than just a regular citizen.

How could that person relate to a normal worker when his life is totally different?

It is also really easy to make financial choises to build something that is really not needed or not so beneficial for regular people since it is not really making their life any different.

It's the "ordinary" people that have had the biggest impact on society for the good...Ghandi, Lech Walesa, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela...the list goes on.

Chiming in...You have to realize that any "ISM", ageism, sexism, genderism, racism, classism, etc is a construct that is used by those in positions of power to keep those who are not in positions of power focused on meaningless things as a predesigned agenda ( based on either a 5,10,20 yr plan) is put into action. This is not an opinion I am offering, but as someone who has been in the thick of this type of stuff unless we all stop thinking on such a small scale then nothing will ever change. Does racism exist, yes it does but why does it exist what are the benefits of this because I can safely tell you globally their are alot of people of color sitting at the haves table who are part of the Overall agenda. Again,as someone who has been in the thick of this I say this with surety....Yes racism, but honestly individual white males do not really benefit from what racism offers which is another institutional tactic to ensure that a larger agenda is put into place. White males are pawns in a larger dynamic along with Black males, Asian males, etc. I hope my input has clarified a feeling about an "Ism" which is really a construct.
