This is more like her insisting you not eat cashews, because she hates cashews.

Only in this case her hate is homophobic/transphobic. Women can wear boy stuff. And men can, in theory, wear 'queer' stuff. As long as it's not her partner doing it.

So, left equals centrist I see.

Yeah I'm not a fan of it lol. Thanks though.

How does it check for bias? Because pink news isn't left on trans issues. Yet it ranks as left with high credibility.

As well as revealing epigenetics. Which killed the nature/nurture shit.

'Perhaps a bit to much.' was the tip off for me. Perhaps vga is astroturfing for the GOP. I don't really know. Just asking questions.

Yes, but the term is oligopoly. And it requires different tactics than breaking up monopolies because they're not a monopoly.

I made a longer post explaining here. Sorry if I'm coming off as pedantic but I find the distinction in this instance between oligopoly and monopoly important.

I'm for preventing monopolies and breaking them up.

My point wasn't that that's a bad thing. But that this is more of an oligopoly situation rather than a monopoly.

My town has Walmart, Kroger, Target, and a Co-OP within five minutes of my house. They're all gouging prices and have been since the pandemic.

This isn't a situation where breaking up monopolies is the cure. Though preventing the Kroger/Albertsons merger will certainly keep things from getting worse.

And you have no examples of this happening in regards to transrights. So what was the point of your posts other than posting dog whistles in trans friendly spaces?

I live in a large enough city to have choices and everyone is price gouging.

So, I don't see how this would really help much tbh.

I hear you. But proclaiming that third party candidates are intentionally trying to dilute the vote, as the commmentor I replied to implied, is no different than Harris's response at the rally.

It's meant to shame third parties for not getting in line behind the Democratic candidate. Instead of listening to people's grievances, they both weaponize shame.
