Gentlemen, ladies, and those whom I have no idea how to call y'all, the state of the US political parties. It has devolved into this.
I do believe that America shouldn’t have political parties, but while they are here, what a right winger and left winger believes is fairly predictable.

Left wing voters would still like planned parenthood because they like the right to an abortion. If they are on code, they will ignore all the right wing things planned parenthood says and continue to get abortions if they want them.
Created:
The current planned parenthood CEO is Alexis Johnson.
All that needs to happen for the right to support planned parenthood is Alexis Johnson needs to state all of the following beliefs:
1) Abortion is healthcare (what she already believes and what planned parenthood claims is true). Abortion should be free.
2) Our southern border needs to be secured.
3) Our law enforcement police officers need to be protected. Back the blue. Blue lives matter.
4) The 2020 election was rigged and Donald Trump should be our president.
5) America first. The left used to be America first with not wanting to fund other country’s wars, but now this is a right wing talking point and the parties switched on isolationism. The left used to be isolationist, now the right is.
6) The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
7) The government can’t force us to take the COVID vaccine (call the vaccine the jab to appeal to right wing conservatives even more).
8) Transwomen need to stay the hell away from women’s sports (this is something the TERFs already believe but TERFs like Dave Chapelle are already pro choice but the right still loves the guy and the left hates him).
9) Groomers are bad and drag shows are not for kids. The right has been really hammering the “drag shows are bad for kids” talking point and if planned parenthood agrees with this, the right would give planned parenthood credit and even celebrate planned parenthood (just like they loved Herschel Walker who paid for an abortion and is a deadbeat dad multiple times).
If planned parenthood even for 10 weeks leaned in on the fact that they want abortion to be free, but lean into 8 other hot button right wing issues to a comparable degree on a per issue basis, the right wing base will become pro choice. They voted for Walker who paid for an abortion because he leans into right wing talking points. I expect they will treat planned the same. If the left is on code, they will ignore planned parenthood acting right wing for the sake of trying to get the right wingers on board (and still get legal abortions if they want them).
Me personally, since I have standards, I don’t care if planned parenthood leans into right wing talking points, I will still want women and men responsible for abortion to be prosecuted by delaying their social security by 3 months per abortion and using the saved revenue to sponsor a starving American kid, but the right is too much into group think to do that. They will back planned parenthood if they do this. The left would also probably dislike planned parenthood after that. We saw this with Caitlyn Jenner. The left used to love Caitlyn Jenner and the right used to hate her. This is despite Caitlyn Jenner calling herself a Republican.
For some reason, if someone is a Republican transgender person that strongly believes in transgenderism and leans into that, the left loves her even more and the right hates her even more just because she calls herself a republican. If Jenner was a democrat, the left and the right would be like whatever to the party affiliation. But as soon as Jenner calls themselves a Republican, the left loves her and the right hated her (because the ONE time she disagrees with conservatives she reveals). But as soon as Caitlyn Jenner ends up stating how she is actually a Republican (she doesn’t think transwomen belong in women’s sports), then the left starts to hate her and the right starts to praise her.
But wait, she claimed she was a Republican and the left loved her and the right hated her. You both should have reliezed that being republican meant you didn’t want transwomen in women’s sports.
But back to planned parenthood. If planned parenthood shows all the Republican women who got abortions, and if planned parenthood calls themselves republican, the left would love planned parenthood even more and the right would hate them even more. But if planned parenthood leans into why they are Republican (even if they don’t believe these things; just say them enough and the right would back you just like how people on the left and right now call Caitlyn Jenner, “she”, but only people on the left call liberal transwomen she), the right would back them.
The right wing base will back anyone that is right wing on the culture war, even if it violates their own principles. This is because the right doesn’t really have that many principles (neither does the left, but I think this applies more to the right). If you appeal to the right wing base by agreeing with them on the right wing current thing, they will back you even if it goes against their values because all they care about is winning elections.

I added, two states in the definition, so no it doesn't count.
A definition needs to include all that should be included and exclude all that should be excluded. If the definition for Dakotas includes Nebraska, then you would have to call Nebraska one of the Dakotas. Whatever definition you apply to the Dakotas should include North and South Dakota and exclude every other place. My definition is, “Any state that is either North Dakota or South Dakota.”. This is defining with a list, and I think it’s okay to do this. It’s also better because most people don’t know what the northern Mississippi River valley is, and complex definitions need simplier terms. I’m pretty sure the northern Mississippi River valley is more complex than state learned in elementary school.

The only way evolution skyrockets is when something happens to the environment that causes a lot of evolutionarily weak individuals to die, eliminating them from the gene pool. If there was a famine that killed all those with fast metabolisms for example. But this requires massive death. I don’t want to produce massive human death.

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/VC.IHR.PSRC.P5?locations=FR states France’s homicide rate is under 2 deaths per 100,000. America’s is around 5 deaths per 100,000. Europe has a lower homicide rate than America. In addition, the French homicide rate has shrunk. I think Americas has grown.

I just want you to take notice of the type of inmigration you are promoting. Just see how Europe is struggling with the sh!tty people they let in.
Their homicide rate is lower than America’s. We can take some lessons from what they are doing and use the migrants to reduce our homicide rate. If a migrant rapes or murders, they should get their head chopped off in the middle of Times Square; let all the Manhattan liberals protest the killing, but let them know patriots are in charge.
The Second World War is perhaps the best example of how human beings can evolve technologically for the sake of survival

I see you are not aware at all about migration policies.
I’m aware of the immigration policies. I don’t agree with our government. It’s annoying being a libertarian in an authoritarian country. I love America, but I loathe its leadership. It’s leadership does not care about making America better; they are willing to make America worse if it helps them in the next election. This goes for both parties.
If it were like you said, the States shouldnt be expelling illegal inmigrants as it is doing right now.
Tyrannical governments separate families for the sole reason that it benefits them in the next election. I would really like it if all the curropt politicians got in a car and drove off a cliff. Separating families and destroying the US economy by getting us deeper in debt does not help the country, but it helps the politicians with elections, since people vote on issues that aren’t economic. The Hispanics vote for the pro deportation democrats because they are under the illusion that the democrats won’t deport them (even though they will), and the republicans who claim to care so much about the debt will vote for politicians that get us deeper in debt. In my America, nobody is getting deported, and that policy would get the US out of debt.
Wars drive the economy growth of the US. Didnt you realise how advanced the american technology is thanks to wars?
Military technology is advsanced because of war. However I think it’s a coincidence. Countries have been fighting wars with each other for centuries and it hasn’t led to significantly more technology advancement. Technology development isn’t that caused by killing people in war reliably. It can be. It’s just super rare. The private sector is better at creating technology than the government. Apple created the iPhone; and without a single dollar of taxpayer money. The government spends trillions of dollars on war, and we produced some technology decades ago, but I think it was just a fluke because we have been fighting wars for a millennium and it’s only now that we get advanced technology.

What makes you think middle east inmigrants will boost american economy?
Population growth leads to move taxpayers and more GDP and more tax revenue.
If the States is the major producer of weapons, the best of its kind, isn't it better to keep funding wars around the world? Think about it.
We shouldn’t fund wars either. War is legalized mass murder. Every war mongering politician needs a tall tree and a short rope if you know what I mean. The tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants like Joe Brandon, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. Sic semper tyrannis.

How would you define the Dakotas without using the term, “Dakota” then? The only alternative definition I can think of are 2 states between various other states and provinces. But if you define these states and provinces, you end up using the term Dakota in that definition.
The only alternative to the best of my knowledge is realizing that you don’t have to define every subsequent term to define the term you were originally trying to define.

That is a circular definition. Don't use the word woman, to define the word woman. It's simple English really.
I can define the word, “Dakotas” with North and South Dakota. That is using the word Dakota to define the term, “Dakotas”.

If it’s the politician’s fault, then maybe you should help vote them out (or agree to not vote until a politician left or right agrees to not conduct genocides in any country.). All politicians care about is how to get re elected. I don’t plan on voting for pro genocide politicians (this includes Trump and Biden). I would vote libetarian because they are against government sponsored genocide.

Here is the math I have. Let me know if I made any flaws:
I support bringing in 1.2 billion immigrants, all consenting people, and they all settle in blue counties. The people from blue counties that I talked to about this have all more or less stated that they would be fine with the migrants coming into the country to pay off the debt. The undocumented would be put in what I call Stantonian apples. The Stantonian apples would be located in the map on row 712 or 874, depending NY on which version you check. I have told several people this and they all seem to like it.

@WokeBlackConservative
Today we are as segregated, it just isn't forced through law. The school I went to was 99.9% black. Most schools and neighborhoods are segregated.
The only way to end this is to force black people out of black majority neighborhoods and to force white people into black majority neighborhoods. People should be allowed to live where they want in the country if they are American citizens. Just like if you are Italian and want to live in an Italian area because it’s where you grew up, you have the right to do that. If you’re Italian American, you live in an Italian area, and you want to live in a more Integrated area, you move out of that Italian area. Any African American that wants to live in a white area that lives in a black area should move to a white area. That’s the only way you are ending racial segregation in practice. That, and white people would have to move to black areas. If an individual wants to do this, they should have every right to. Just don’t FORCE people to move to an area they don’t want to. In my city and high school, there were kids from all over the place. Some were white. Some were black. Some were Hispanic. Some were Asian. We have a Republican mayor. He has helped make property cheap and our streets safe. When I am living on my own, I want to live in this city. I am happy where I am in a racially diverse city for a reason that has nothing to do with the racial composition of the city. If other people want to move to my city, they are welcome as long as they aren’t on welfare. This applies to anyone of any race, and even people regardless of citizenship status. However I don’t believe in FORCING people to move to my city.
In what way did WP end when segregation did?
Because blacks and whites now had the option to live together in the same city and to go to the same schools, whereas previously this wasn’t the case to the same degree.
Well, trying to steal an election seems antithetical to Conservatism and the values we as conservatives claim to enshrine-yet we tried to do just that these past couple years.
All parties care about is power; democrats are less insecure about losing power because they know huge numbers of democrat voting immigrants are coming into the country. If the immigrants tended to vote Republican, democrat would be the ones scared about losing future elections. I think we should get rid of political parties and force politicians to run as independents. You may end up voting for a politician that believes in white privilege and opposes vaccine mandates if you believe in both of these things. America should have a dozen options for who to be president and all the politicians should make their own case for why they should be in charge based on values derived from their own free thought and not what their party tells them to say.

People who suggest that it doesn't exist, have a burden of proof to demonstrate when exactly it ended, with observable, and repeatable scientific evidence.
I would say when segregation ended, so did white privilege.
Also, I’m surprised you’re a conservative if you’re leaning onto a left wing talking point. I’m not angry or anything like that. I’m just surprised. Usually, black conservatives don’t believe in white privilege. What makes you conservative?

I hope all the conservatives against the US getting involved with Ukraine in the name of isolationism (they call it America first) have that same attitude about the US getting involved with the genocide in Yemen.
War is horrible; it turns children into orphans. It kills many innocent lives. It costs the government trillions of dollars. The US should end all help that we give to countries like Russia and Saudi Arabia that commit genocide and should give green cards to any and all refugees from war that head to our shores.
I don’t think this policy would lead to American citizens losing their jobs. This argument claims the unemployment rate would rise, but America’s population has increased over the centuries with barely vetted immigrants and it hasn’t led to the unemployment rate increasing for the native born.
An open border policy with green cards for all who come here has the potential to get us out of debt according to the math I did and would be great for the stock market (half of Americans own stock, so this benefits them significantly).
But let me hear your thoughts, whether you agree or disagree. I’ve never blocked anyone for any political claim in my life.

I don’t like that definition. Mine is better.
Woman: Anyone that is a cis woman or trans woman.
This is like defining America as the following:
America: Any part of land that is part of North America or South America
Or defining the Tasman countries as the following:
Tasman territory: Any territory that is part of Australia or New Zealand.
You don’t have to define Australia or New Zealand to define Tasman territory. You don’t have to define North or South America to define America. Therefore, you don’t have to define ciswoman or trans woman to define woman.
I have right wing views on abortion, guns, the death penalty, and vaccine mandates. I have left wing views on war (anti war), immigration, and LGBT to an extent. I’m an independent, and it’s independents politicians need to fight for.

If white neighborhoods were plagued by gun violence the way black neighborhoods have been I sincerely doubt the “bad guy with a gun” narrative would resonate anywhere nearly as strong as it does.

I think common sense tells us that punishing women for this is wrong. Only doctors who perform abortions should be punished and anyone assisting them.
This is going to lead to abortionists not performing abortions anymore, so it would lead to females doing their own abortions. Then you’re going to have to punish the woman. I hope you have the mental capacity to relieze that.

Here is my ideal penalty for abortion:
Wages get garnished $9 a day for a year (both the woman who gets the abortion and the man who is the father of the aborted baby pay this). The revenue goes to sponsor a starving American child, getting that child out of poverty. If you take a life from abortion, you should be required to save a life by some other method and child sponsorship is a cheap way to save a life to make up for the life you took.
There are 1.6 million American children that need sponsorship every year and about 800,000 abortions a year. We are able to reduce child poverty by 50% with this plan in place.
If a woman gets raped, rape victim insurance pays for the child sponsorship. How this would work is the following:
Every female pays a penny a day to a government fund and in exchange, if all of the following apply to a woman:
1) She gets raped
2) She gets pregnant from the rape
3) She successfully prosecutes the rapist using her pregnancy as proof.
Then she gets $20,000 restitution. If she aborts, she gets $13,000. The remaining $7k goes to sponsor the kid. The rapist gets killed.
There are many ideologues in this country that want life in jail for women who gets an abortion. There are also many people that would be opposed to ANY punishment for women that get abortions, including one that helps to reduce the poverty rate. My plan punishes the woman and the man who is the father of the aborted baby in a way that does not tread too much on liberty while also helping to significantly reduce the poverty rate.
If you’re an extreme ideologue (Polytheist, ebuc, brother D) and you comment, I’m going to do my best to ignore you. You can’t be reasoned with; your too far down the rabbit hole. But the majority is not as partisan as you, so I welcome the majority to comment here.

@BigBuffMan
Whose source is more reliable, yours or mine? And why?
The fact is many women who need abortions need them because they will not survive the birth.
Nobody is trying to ban life saving abortions. The main contention is abortions where the mother can produce a healthy baby and are from consensual sex (I support legalized abortion for rape victims and a whole rape victim insurance policy to help them out).
Lastly, why do you think you have the right to say what other people do with their bodies.
There are times when nobody believes bodily autonomy is absolute. For example, I can’t use my body to hit yours.
If you care so much about these unborn babies, are you advocating for child labor laws in China or Bangladesh?
I support child labor laws in foreign countries; 100%. We need to make American manufacturing more competitive.
Or the unbelievably high rate of young Indigenous women going missing every year?
Not a problem in the US.
There are so many kids in the world already living who are suffering, yet you choose to focus on the most minuscule, 'issue' I can think of.
The kids should be taken care of by their parents. Any parent that is a deadbeat should get sterilized (by vasectomy or tubes tied) because we can’t have deadbeat parents reproducing.

The far right: The democrats are racist. They started the civil war over slaves.
The far left: The republicans are racist. Their voter base is along states that more or less broke away from the Union.
Me: Neither party is racist. 1928 United States presidential election results map by county - 1928 United States presidential election - Wikipedia is an election map from 1928 and 2020 Presidential Election by County - 2020 United States presidential election - Wikipedia is a county by county map of 2020.
Pretty much everyone agrees that in 1928, the democrats were the more racist party. In terms of 2020 though, there is a huge amount of overlap between red counties in 1928 and red counties in 2020, between red counties in 1928 and blue counties in 2020, blue counties in 1928 and red counties in 2020, between blue counties in 1928 and blue counties in 2020.
NYC in 1928 voted with the rural south. For one to believe that the democrats were racist in 1928 means they would have to believe NYC was racist in 1928. Now the rural south and NYC are about as different politically as it gets. On the flip side, urban California, especially Los Angelos, voted the same way as rural Oklahoma and Wyoming. In 2020, over a dozen states that voted for the republican party voted republican in 1928. On the flip side, Virginia and Georgia are 2 former confederate states (and Maryland and Delaware were slave states at the time of the civil war), Virginia is a blue state and Georgia is a purple state. Florida was historically purple until DeSantis made it red.
What I'm trying to get at is there is not much of a strong correlation between whether a place was racist in 1928 and if it's democrat or republican in 2020. If politicians don't want to be viewed as racist and if the south is still racist today, Democrats aren't going to want Warnock to win in Georgia because if Warnock wins in Georgia, then democrats have 1 more senator on their team that was from a state that was pro confederacy and they have a racist state backing them (if Georgia is indeed racist which the state isn't).
It's no longer a north south divide that separates American politics and segregation doesn't play a big part in politics anymore, so both sides shouldn't be accusing the other of racism. It's an urban rural divide. Rural NY in 1928 and 2020 voted for republicans. Urban NY in 1928 and 2020 voted for democrats. Nobody in power considers NY a racist place. The former confederacy used to side with NYC. Now they side with Upstate NY.

Still not a person. People have minds with self awareness, etc.
Babies out of the womb don't have self awareness.
Whereas enslaving women creates a massive harm to them, their families, and society.Would you argue that forcing a deadbeat dad to provide for his kids is akin to slavery? Would you argue a conjoined twin keeping their twin alive without their consent is akin to slavery? If not, how could you argue that forced pregnancy is slavery?You may argue those are akin to slavery, but forcing women to lose their freedom of autonomy and become property for use as medical devices is actual slavery.
If it's akin to slavery, it's as bad as slavery. If your argument is that deadbeat dads should not have to pay child support because it's slavery, I think virtually every single mother is going to disagree with you there. Would you argue that a conjoined twin being forced to carry their twin for their whole life is unjustified slavery? If so, that would mean you would be fine with a conjoined twin killing their twin (their body, their choice). If a politician stated this argument, they would lose the normie vote even in NY. So a politician can't make the argument that a conjoined twin would be allowed to exercise bodily autonomy in a way that causes somebody else to die, even if they argue it is slavery. So how would an unwanted pregnancy be any different?

That doesn't make any sense. A woman can defend herself regardless.
A woman can defend herself and her property, but this does not apply to the kids she chose to create. Otherwise, a deadbeat dad can avoid child support payments because he's protecting his money from being taken. Otherwise, a deadbeat dad can shoot his kids for taking his money.
There are times when it is okay to kill in self defense (shooting a theif who is taking your money for reasons that you didn't directly cause). There are times when it is not okay to kill in self defense (a deadbeat dad shooting his kids who is taking his money for reasons that he did directly cause). The pregnant female is more like the ladder situation because it's her fault the kid was created. If she is raped and can prove it with a rapist prosecution, she should be allowed to abort under the condition that she receives less money from rape victim insurance.
Also, someone can choose to stop a pregnancy before 'bringing a child into the world'.
The child is brought into the world when they were conceived according to 95% of biologists in the link I said. If they found different conclusions, you can point out to me where they said that. But this is what the article said:
Overall, 95% of all biologists affirmed the biological view that a human's life begins at fertilization (5212 out of 5502).
A human life is a human being (or I don't know the difference). Our laws should reflect science 100%. This is not just for abortions, but climate change and vaccine recommendations as well. People should get vaccinated. We should be going towards renewables and nuclear energy. And a human being starts at conception so abortion should be banned with the exception to save a mother's life. I'm consistently pro science, are you?

A zygote is human in origin (it’s biological makeup), and it meets the basic criteria for life, but [a] being like you and I it is not.
The cite argues a zygote was a human being
But stating it is [a] human being is patently factually inaccurate!!
The cite I posted disagrees, unless you can show me where it said what you said.

Removing an unwanted lump of organic tissue.
If a conjoined twin wanted to kill their twin in the name of bodily autonomy, would you support their fight to do that? If so, virtually no normie is going to agree with you. 95% of biologists believe a zygote is a human being.
