The Biden administration already forced them through HHS. https://www.newsfromthestates.com/article/florida-sues-biden-administration-new-regulations-protecting-gender-affirming-care

I do count incumbents as primary candidates. The DNC funds the winner of the primary, whomever that may be.

And the law to follow said that it was up to doctors to decide whether a treatment was necessary enough to be covered government insurance. Now Trump is rewriting the law to make it illegal for doctors to give gender affirming treatment at all, let alone for it to be covered by health insurance.

Feel free to browse through https://www.opensecrets.org/political-parties/DNC/2024/expenditures and show us.

The DNC doesn’t give money to any primary candidates.

I’m one of those people who talks to my representative to get my way. I also talk to people running in local elections and tell them exactly why I am or am not voting for them. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. I know how government works.

Quote chapter and verse of the law at them. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/01/technology/california-beach-access-khosla.html

People voted for them. They serve their voters. That’s how democracy works. They are “controlled” by their voters. People who don’t understand that get governments who don’t listen to them and instead listen to people who do understand that, like the aforementioned small business owners.

Every state with a coastline already has laws guaranteeing beach access. https://beachapedia.org/File:Surfrider_2019_Beach_Access_Map.png

The last time the Democrats had a majority was in the 117th Congress. They introduced a minimum wage increase bill HR 603 with 202 cosponsors, not a single one Republican. If the Democrats have a slim majority, all it takes is for a few Democrats whose districts rely on votes from small business owners who don’t want to pay higher minimum wage during a pandemic when their business is shut down to stop it. Those small business owners vote, and their employees listen to people like you. If you vote for enough Democrats that aren’t in that position, of course it will pass. The messaging to the employees should be that if their Democratic representative isn’t meeting demands, they should primary them, not that they should let Republicans win.

After these articles, the “free area” was defined to include just the areas that ROC controls, so the parliament no longer has representatives for mainland Chinese provinces. Based on that, the parliament no longer claims to represent all of China, and the ruling DPP asserts that Taiwan is a separate sovereign state from China. https://jhulr.org/2024/06/12/taiwans-constitutional-battle-the-case-for-the-republic-of-china-roc-constitution/

And the “history” of the event you were taught was a fantasy cooked up by McCarthyist acolytes to spread atrocity propaganda.

The history I was taught is backed by documentation. The history you were taught ignores the documentation and takes the word of a government that tried to destroy any documents that existed of the event.

Took me all of 1 second to realize that the massacre happened after the 1940s.

Then it took me all of an additional minute to read what happened after the 1940s in the Wikipedia article:

“The Chinese Communist Party re-organized the Red Cross organization in Beijing and was admitted to the International Federation in 1950.”

Not since https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additional_Articles_of_the_Constitution_of_the_Republic_of_China

The “history” you will be taught in that course won’t include the reports of the journalists who were there at the time and whose film was confiscated. The famous tank man picture only survived because the journalist who took that picture hid it in a toilet.

The Chinese Red Cross estimated 2,600 fatalities. That’s a lot of fishermen.

ROC doesn’t claim to legitimately rule China anymore. That was just KMT’s delusion, and they’re no longer in power.

79% of Americans say they want age caps for elected officials, but they keep voting for people older than those age caps, and that is the result that counts in the end.

You’ll find that a lot of people here don’t care how old Sanders is (older than McConnell). It’s his turn.
