What I find so frustrating about this country is that a minority would get to rule over the majority in that way. It’s bad enough that there are way too many cons and too many religious people on the court who do things like take away rights, now the same gaggle of people are hoping to enshrine that removal of rights in every state, no matter what the people in the state actually want for themselves.

The trump is method.
Just be incoherent and let the audience fill in the rest for themselves.
Not only do you now have a bunch of followers who made the decision on their own and came up with their own ideas as to how you are going to help them, but you also did without actually committing to anything!!
“Vote for me, I’m a horrible person too!”
It’s always the failed abortions that are against abortion, weird huh?
Better than orange can still be worse than ok
If she ends up being the first woman ever to be president my head is going to explode.
I do not think she can put populist trump.
No shot. The only state she stood to beat Trump in was NH. He’ll be the nominee.
Well, that’ll at least going to earn her the respect and appreciation of every conservative voter, but it’s must not evil enough to pull votes from Trump. She needs to be even more sinister.
Stockholm Syndrome is the only explanation for women continuing to support Republicans
No it’s not.
They genuinely believe that only bad people need abortions.
Only bad people get raped?
Um, what about the belief that an unborn fetus has a soul? That’s a belief that tens of millions of American women sincerely hold…
It’s stupid and completely unfounded in any medical science regarding when the Fetus is actually a living human being.
Show me a woman who claims she genuinely would see a fetus in a jar and an infant newborn as equally worth saving in a crisis and I will show you a woman who swears she’d have totally been a punk rock abolitionist if she was around in the South in the antebellum years.
Also it literally isn’t sincere belief, the Bible has exactly one thing to say about abortion, and that’s how to perform one via medicine.
God gaveth unto the Jews, the pill.
Just say and do anything to get that sweet, sweet power
Yes, I’m unapologetically pro-life. … I am fine with a federal law
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your “moderate” Republican candidate.
I don’t usually wish for this, but I hope she gets an ectopic pregnancy and is forced to carry to term
Realistically she’d just fly herself to NY
I mean, that IS moderate for a Republican. The more typical party view is Make America Handmaid’s Tale.
Don’t worry everyone, when not voting and protest voting lets her or Trump into office to do it, the white left will be here to remind us why we should spend energy being mad at the Democrats about it.
Psycho shithead.
What is mind boggling is that either her or Trump will be the next candidate and it still isn’t a sure win for the democrats.
But, tbh, looking at politics in the EU nowadays and I feel ashamed of making fun of the USA in the past. We are outfascisting you again, it seems.
Trump would be a sure win for the Dems… Hailey… eh… maybe not
Talk to Hillary about a sure win.
Nate Silver was telling us to ignore those polls
Polling suggests otherwise.
I think Republicans are afraid of abortion because deep down they know that the only reason they’re here is because abortion wasn’t easily available. Gotta keep the garbage coming.
I wouldn’t say it’s against a rule, but kinda messed up to imply someone was basically garbage since birth.

Seems like a razor’s edge that they’re walking on.

This kind of rhetoric doesn’t help resolve anything.
Talking on the Internets won’t solve much no matter what you say.

Societies self-monitor the people in them.
Even if you don’t win, pushing back against hatred is always the right thing to do.

Depends: if something did not get any attention - than push back is contra-productive, since it might just create more attention. If something is already getting than pushing back might be helpful in the bigger picture.
It’s not a matter of getting attention or not, it’s a matter of challenging the commenter and their opinion on the subject.
The assumption is that it will get attention since it’s on/in a public forum.
There is almost no way to convince people with radical opinions in a written discussion. So the push back is not really useful to challenge the opinion of op but of people less radical or neutral who are also reading the comment. But if the comment did not get any traction, there might be a downside in engaging by getting more attention to the comment. And you don’t know which side of the argument people in the end will chose - so I would just leave it alone. If I’m not in mood for some flaming.

That is an assumption, and not a fact.
Also, pushing back sends a signal to others in the same Society that there are others that believe the same way as they do, and invites them to push back as well. A society self signals to the members inside of it as a method of forming the meta opinions of that Society.
Hatred should always be pushed back against, no matter how effective the pushback ends up being, and regardless of the aggravation/cost of doing so.
I wasn’t trying to solve anything. You can’t fix stupid.

That much is obvious. ‘Opinion masturbating’ in a public square is a thing, apparently.

It helps identify individuals who don’t care about making the world a better place, via resolving issues.
“Mrs. Haley, have you ever had an abortion? You have a daughter. Has she ever had an abortion?” – The press, if they had any balls.
Asking her is fine, leave all politicians kids out of the spotlight (unless they are campaigning).
Sorry, that was thrown out the window when Rush Limbaugh went after Chelsea Clinton. And it really went out the window when the entire Republican media sphere went after Sasha and Malia Obama.
And it was wrong then and remains wrong now. Kids can’t help who their parents are, leave them out of it.
But it’s not about the kid. It’s about the shameless double-standard. It’s about Nikki as a parent as well.
Listen the kids aren’t putting themselves in the spotlight, there’s no reason to drag them in to it. Drag the candidate all you want but leave the kids alone until they decide to join the circus on their own.
She’s not a child and campaigns with her mother. Maybe focus on the single issue instead of making it about something it isn’t.
