Not as such. I'm saying exactly what I said... that there's a strong democratic skew in this survey, which is not immediately apparent in the story. That is valuable information for anyone wanting to understand the results... not so much for someone looking to "hur hur" over the performance of the other.

If America was truly as progressive as some people thought, a third party could sweep the Democrats with a popular progressive candidate

In a word, no. The GOP and the DNC actively collude to ensure that no one else can compete.

No you don’t. Because you have 2 options: Biden or Trump. If you are considering Trump as a legitimate pick, then just say you’re a fascist

So our choices are 1) fascists who support a fascist or 2) ethnic cleansing apologists who are 100% okay with voting for the man supplying weapons and aid to those committing the cleansing.

These results are interesting, though the article does note that the overall results seem to map along party lines for mote contemporary presdients (with notable exceptions, like Clinton.) In case anyone wonders, the polling pool was:

"...current and recent members of the Presidents & Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association ... as well as scholars who had recently published peer-reviewed academic research in key related scholarly journals or academic presses."

So, not a general survey in case anyone wonders.

Edit: I do wonder how balanced this survey was, though... if Obama was 6th and 15h and Biden was 13th among Democrats and 30th among Republicans, and nonetheless 14th overall, it does suggest that the poll was heavily skewed toward Democratic respondents. Nothing wrong with that, just food for thought.

You literally cannot be this stupid.

What does binary mean, you waffle?

And, there it is. The self-own.

If you truly believed that "gender is meaningless" as you say, this would not be a problem. What you really mean is "I dislike that gender is no longer binary and I'm going to create strawman arguments to hide that fact."

Oh great, Reddit is leaking again.

"I don't act like them."

No, they are generally sweet and kind and treat people with respect.

Worse, she's a leftist who somehow missed the "treat people with respect and dignity" principle.

The allies no one wants.

Yeah. "never voted right" but she shares some of the right's worst traits. Aggressive willful ignorance, disdain for facts, bigotry.

"I don't understand"

Clearly.

So go educate yourself and come back when you DO understand. Or you know, don't.

No, she appears to be saying that you lack the knowledge mecessary to particpate in an adult conversation. I would tend to concur, given your comments and post history. Drag queens wear makeup for as many reasons as there are drag queens.

It is alarming that you cannot grasp the most basic understanding of the fights feminism has fought for years. You think drag queens, of all people, are responsible for "bogus notions of femaleness?"

Look, bigot. Just say what you mean. "I hate drag queens and trans women."

You know, you can make up all of the utter bullshit you like, but that still doesn't make it true. So let's translate:

"I see trans people as perpetuating and enforcing categories" - This is you being transphobic. Gender has always been categorical; your problem is not with categorization but with non-CIS genders specifically.

"I am in this new category of female myself." - This is you not even really grasping the concepts on which you're attempting to build an argument. "Female" is not a gender.

"New category" - Tell me you hate trans women without telling me.

"According to drag queen land" - So you don't even grasp the difference between a drag queen and a trans woman? Again, go back and cure your ignorance before opening your trap.

"I don't wear makeup" - Good for you? Drag queens aren;t the ones gatekeeping femininity, you bigot.
