Kamala Harris announced as Biden's running mate

Remember you are dealing with a wealthy nation with the finest of resources, and yet schithole 3rd world South Africa has come out exponentially better

if you control for age then SA did about the same as the UK. (We have 1/4th the old people that they have).
 
You hypocrite.
You accuse others of character assassination while you are doing just that.

You’re funnier than I’ve given you credit for.

1)I’ve accused people of hypocrisy, not character assassination.

2)“Trump has exceeded his RDA of calcium from breastfeeding too much as a baby” - character assassination!

Most countries are about the same. How hard they locked down and government is pretty much irrelevant. People still got it and old people still died.

I was kicked out of the Covid sub forum for pointing this out early on. Basically preaching to a wall.

If that is not character assassination, what then is it?
 
No. I take it you feel that it would be A-OK to attack Kamala though, because of whataboutism or both sides do it or some such nonsense.

I never said it would be.

I said, nobody will attack Harris because of her race and gender today. People will attack her because of her prosecutorial record, but not her race and gender.

Palin was attacked by the Left for her gender, and they thought that was okay. Nobody from the Left said attacking Palin on the basis of her gender is okay.
 
Ok fair enough.

Is it morally equivalent to discriminating against transgender people?

Committing a crime (harming animals is a crime) versus wanting to identify as a different gender?

Why did transgender people or homosexuals face internment for their choices, which brought no harm upon anyone?
You're trying too hard, even need to set up strawmen for your arguments. Nobody really cares two hoots if you want to identify a pink flamingo in a tropical krill filled altpan or whatever. When others start insisting everybody needs to do the flamingo dance because somebody thinks they're a flamingo, we have a problem. Will those who assimilates as foxes have the same rights? Do we now insist everybody has to respect the fox assimilator's choice of catching flamingo assimilators? Obviously not. Why then should normal people be impacted by it? That brings us back to the harm these narratives do, also Brazilian waxes. Yes, the victims to that farce were compensated to a small degree, but not to make up for the harm done.

Another question? Why do the decent gay people etc not support this? Not those that have transitioned and quietly go on with their live? They don't wear it like a badge, or a baseball bat, clubbing everybody with it.
 
McCain who referred to draft dodgers due to bone spurs as a shot at Trump
That wasn't a quote, quotes are when you repeat people verbatim...that's kinda what the term means. And the bone spurs have been mentioned by plenty of news outlets, just because Mccain used it once doesn't mean I was quoting him...

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/...or-presidents-medical-deferment-from-vietnam/

“Mr. Trump claimed (his medical deferment) was because of a bone spur, but when I asked for medical records, he gave me none and said there was no surgery,” Cohen told members of the House Oversight Committee. “He told me not to answer the specific questions by reporters but rather offer simply the fact that he received a medical deferment.

So yeah, nice try...
 
This is an extremely narrow and misguided view. For one, New York had thousands of international travelers before they realized what the virus was about. South Africa not so much. So they were hit very hard merely by the nature of their economy and the volume of travelers.

SA has decimated its economy and our infections are rising. We'll see in the coming months how bad it is. I suspect in aggregate it's way worse than the U.S.

What you have said is true but New York as a state has a worse infection rate than SA as a country as do many other states. They were much worse than other densely populated areas because their reaction was poor.

Also SA's infections are declining and have been for some time. Any way you measure it we are better off (in terms of the virus and infections)

What is a "decent" gay person?

Imagine having one story to live by to define your objections by.
