that laudable objective is their focus...as opposed to merely being servants of a deeply flawed and totally narcissistic "Loser" who can't find anything else to do with his life after being beaten in a free and fair election...other than trying to stay out of prison, that is...to me, there's a significant difference here.
We have our differences on acceptance of 'non-standard' gender issues, for sure...for me, I see real people who genuinely differ from my identify, but I want to make sure that their life experience is as pleasant and fulfilling for them as anyone else's...in no way do I want to cause them mental or physical harm...especially when they present no harm at all to me or anyone else....plus, they have incredible talents that benefit others. BTW, the tragedy of Alan Turing is never far from my mind when I think of all these LGBTQ debates.
When it comes to 'Racism', the Dems have nothing to be ashamed of...they have all the 'Cred' they need (Civil Rights Act...Voting Rights...etc) to show that they "Walk the Talk" in continuing to seek justice for people of color...as for the GOP...you're a man who's accustomed to reading...pick up a copy of "It Was All A Lie" by Stuart Stevens to see what they are all about...and why I'll never move in their direction until they 'come clean' on this issue...and a few more.
As for "Introspection", the Dems are totally transparent as to what policies they believe will benefit the American people...Sanders, Warren, AOC, Booker, Biden...and Obama...talk at length about their visions...and work together to actually PASS legislation (ACA, and Infrastructure, to name a couple)...whereas, the party of "NO GOVERNMENT" now is totally silent about ANY policy initiative and pass NOTHING...clearly they see no need for introspection...their mission is clear...just gain power and pass tax breaks for the wealthiest among them.
BTW, still mulling over some threads on cooking...you still interested?...btw, Thanksgiving is at the B&SIL's place this year...not sure what our contribution will be just yet.
