      Testing Gender and Transrelated Medicine is not “Making Mice Transgender”.

      But yes, the spending was to test a medical treatment, the same way how many medical treatments are tested. He is opposing this specific research for ideological reasons, of course.

    trump still thinks that asylum seekers are people who came to this country from mental asylums.

    He’s as dumb as a pile of rusty spoons.

          Let him try, there will be enough hurricanes coming this season, even if the NOAA will be no longer around to warn people. And they are mostly heading to red states, so they would make a perfect testing ground.

      A lot of us didn’t.

      Also a lot decided to not vote at all. That’s really what sank us. Only 63% of eligible voters voted, and of the popular vote, trump won 49.8%. So basically 1/3 of Americans actively elected trump, and whoever in the remaining ~40% that decided to not at least vote against trump ensured we got him.

        This is not strictly true, even if it’s repeated a lot. Because of our voting system, a large number of people likely didn’t vote because they didn’t need to vote. For instance, you pretty much know how things will end up in California or Idaho even before the votes are tallied. People who didn’t vote in swing states on the other hand…

            My entire point was that the popular vote basically does not matter (and tbh shouldn’t matter since FPTP is terrible, although the EC is also terrible), so you saying that Trump being elected because people didn’t vote isn’t necessarily the issue here. Even if literally everyone in the country voted, as long as the states ended up the same way, Trump would still have won.

              You’re not listening. I can’t tell of you’re being obstinate or just trying to force a different perspective to make yourself right or something.

              The entire point of the conversation is Americans, not electoral votes, therefore the popular vote, those who voted, and those who did not vote are the germane factors to the discussion. The EC is not relevant in this context.

          Sadly, many people think they only need to vote for Presidents, so you are probably right, although it’s that they felt they didn’t need to vote…even though down-ballot probably matters just as much.

            Yeah, obv state and local elections are very important as well, although in some cases even those elections don’t really require people to vote due to district composition. Generally, I agree with you though. I was mainly pointing out that the popular vote for the presidential election basically does not matter.
