Tulsi right on FP, but not in a nuanced way, and her domestic policy is just a mirror of all the other clowns. Yang just needs to secure the (nomination) bag and select her as VP for a semisane FP voice.

AntiFa beat up some marines who were getting something to eat, mistaking them for Proud Boys.

Considering they're usually a gaggle of 'no snitch policy' ninjafags, 3 is better than I expected.

I'm guessing that Tweeter has never been known as someone who is "compliant". She's accurate about women like her burning the country to the ground though.

I take it you feel that this description of women's liberation is far from caricature. If that's the case, do you actually believe it's a widespread cultural problem? i.e. that women's liberation will lead to the sterility of humankind? I'm asking because I apparently live in the hotbed of women's liberation, yet most of my female friends have married men and plan to have children. It's neither my experience nor my intellectual opinion that women's liberation means liberation from biology; so I'm curious what value you perceive in a comment like this.

Anecdotes are sometimes valid references. Not in the case of TFR. TFR in the West is almost entirely if not entirely subreplacement. While 3rd world TFR is still high and the population exploding, global TFR is projected to drop below replacement by the end of the century. I believe this to be wishful thinking, while I do think the total population will start to drop due to 3rd world populations being unable to maintain necessary resource extraction/production/logistic systems necessary to support ongoing population growth. Current systems and technologies are too complex for ~90% of the population to comprehend, much less manage, and that goes to 99.99+% of the 3rd world population.

Abortion and contraceptives are literal interruptions of, and thus liberation from, the biological process. The pill was revolutionary for women in that it liberated them from the biological process in the 1960's.
If you consider that a good amount of the inequality women have faced was justified biologically by societies, "women are weaker, therefore" etc, liberation from biology makes a lot of sense. This has also lead to progressive women wanting transwomen to be treated like actual women, to TERFs being treated like the devil because they hold a biological standard for what is a woman, for transmen (who have vaginas) being sent to prison with actual men, lesbians being shamed into having sex with transwomen (who have penises) and demanding that transwomen be allowed to fight or compete against actual women in sports.
In some cases the liberation from biology has been noble, in other cases they have simply liberated themselves from reality.

Subreplacement fertility is species sterility, just not right this second. Act like you've got that brain you have. Relatedly, the planet isn't even remotely overpopulated - relative to the quality of the population. If the population is all Dirtworlders who can't escape the Malthusian trap, then by 2100, it might be overpopulated.

I'm sorry, overpopulation is the wrong word. I'm not sure what the right word is; but I mean one could argue the world is overpopulated if said population requires industry to sustain them that simultaneously contributes to anthropogenic climate change.
On a different note, it sounds to me like combating sub replacement fertility rates means depriving individuals of personal livelihood. At least, that's what's happening in Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, etc. They're effectively taking steps to force women to have children. I don't believe species replacement is worth forcing women to have children.

I take issue with your phrase "freedom from biology," but didn't feel like getting into a little semantic pissing match.
