Cause going by what you said was irrelevant, the average working class man would have to never get sick, create their own infrastructure for their own personal use, and be immune to the effects of nuclear weapons.

I don't really do the animes but somebody suggested Attack on Titan to me so I watched it dubbed and I generally dug it except a few episodes in I realized I could no longer cope with the monologues of people screaming. Like not even in a fight, just standing around during training or something and delivering some monologue that is like "WHILE I DO BELIEVE THAT WE MUST ATTACK OUR ENEMIES, WE MUST ALSO BE BRAVE TO CHALLENGE THOSE WHO..." I don't remember what was being said but it was like that and I was like "holy poo poo how do people watch this crap?"

I assume it's watchable subbed but where do they get these voice actors who just scream all their lines?

why the gently caress would they care though? All they know is that now they're being forced to spend $600 a month on the shittiest tier of health insurance, literally, on the planet. "Oh isn't it great, a situation my family has never been in will benefit lots of other people! Can't wait to spend $15,000 on healthcare this year!'

Yes yes, one in seven were being denied coverage because of it but that other 82% doesn't give a gently caress about that and just knows they're underemployed (welcome to Target!) and forced to spend a lot of money on something they hope they don't have to use cause it will cost them $6,500 up front, despite spending $600 a month. On top of that, 82% of people were never affected by this, then ACA went in to effect and they never noticed the benefits, so no poo poo they won't care about it.

The stupidest thing the ACA did was a) letting states decide anything for something they tried to coin as 'obamacare' as a slur and b) not offering some free tier because 'please someone think of the health insurance companies'.

It would have been stupid.

1. NYC is a liberal city that gives Democrats a lot of power, finance is the home business there. Like it or not team D is team finance.
2. Bankers are socially liberal and that's what counts for liberalism. Goldman Sachs is part of the Human Rights Campaign. Attacking them is attacking the people who finance and give the power to make real social change happen.
3. Attacks against bankers smack too much of attacks against Jews, it's racist and thus we should NEVER engage in it.
4. We don't want working class whites in our party. Their votes will dilute minority votes and we might have to end up taking money from upper class socially liberal whites to give poo poo to white trash.

So I've started friend-ing some of the local young Democrat power brokers and got into an argument on a person's wall about the legitimacy of the Cuban regime. I was challenged to join the Peace Corps, piss up a rope, and explain to somebody's face why their uncle was shot. I also admitted I would prefer a one-party state where everyone got basic needs met over the current single party of rich people divided into two factions.

I am moving on up in the party.

The Human Rights Campaign is too busy coaching Frito-Lay on making rainbow-colored Doritos to pursue effective legislation for transgender people. They're a loving joke to the LGBT community because of their focus on the G at the expense of the L, B, and T. Frankly if we shove the HRC out of the picture that's a good thing.

Absolutely not.

http://www.ontheissues.org is the closest you'll get, I think. You quickly realize many politicians do not seem to want things like "their stances" actually on record. It's also a lot of work, and they have rather limited manpower from what I understand.

if wall street reform wasn't meaningful, i would suspect wall street would not be desperately trying to repeal the reforms.

i get that most of the reforms are largely invisible because federal agents didn't rush into goldman sachs and shoot everyone that did not submit to the cfpb, but wall street has had ongoing restructuring caused by the reforms which will lead to a smaller and more stable financial sector. it's not full socialism now, but there were significant reforms involved in it.

There aren't really any laws specifically for bisexual people I can think of that HRC could be advocating for or hurting but they contribute to the general idea held by the wide public of people either being gay or straight. "Bisexual erasure" is the term people typically use. HRC is just generally held to be an organization that is by and for white gay men.
