    And, the "article" that you posted is an utterly ABSURD Mischaracterization of Warren's Statement.

    Just more utterly absurd Breitbart COMEDY Clickbait

    Here is the MISCHARACTERIZED Headline of the Breitbart Absurdity:

    (An Absurd Mischaracterization that you are spreading):

    Elizabeth Warren: Black Trans, Nonbinary People Are ‘Backbone of Our Democracy’

    Here is Warren's ACTUAL Statement:

    “Black trans and cis women, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary people are the backbone of our democracy,”

    Warren's Actual Statement included "cis women".

    Do you KNOW what "cis women" are?

    Cis Woman -- Someone who identifies as a woman and was assigned female at birth.

    So yeah, she is (obviously) pandering to Black Women (Straight, LGBT, Etc...)

    BUT, that Demographic Group could be pivotal in the Dem. Primary.

    Politicians PANDER. Is that actually news to you?

    You're Welcome. :bored:

    Paul Revere was black. And as per the stereotype, in a mass protest, blacks also threw tea into the water. Such courage.

    Too bad. If Warren actually said what you quoted, she made an absurd statement. You messed up a dead flat winner by using a bigoted reference to Native Americans.

    I was describing Democratic ranges of shades of ideology. I am not wrong. Our once proud Republican Party has devolved into the cult of Trump and moderate Republicans under Trump are now as extinct as the dynasours. Look around yourself and see that Fiscal conservation are nearly all gone. The last progressive Republican is the Lady Seanator of Maine. NeoCons are so hated by Republicans that even some Democrats are held in higher esteem by Republicans.

    Before you go and fart out nonsense about my opinions take a closer look at your own beliefs.

    The point is non-binary people have had very little impact on world history. They’re not out “backbone”; they’re the zit on our nose.

    I used to think so, but Trump is increasingly unpopular with swing voters.

    Just to pick one on your list, it is nonsense to describe Klobachar as a moderate. Since she joined the Senate in 2007, Klobuchar has never gotten a rating lower than 85 percent from the ADA. In three years, ADA scored her at 100 percent. (One year, she was among only three who got a perfect ADA rating.) For seven years, she served alongside Al Franken and they were never more than five points apart ADA ratings-wise. These are the ADA scores of a very solid liberal, which is what Klobuchar always has been and still is. Would you describe Ted Cruz as a moderate, who gets similar ratings from the ACU?

    Warren's "ACTUAL statement" is little better. Why should (or would) typical voters have any idea that "CIS women" refers to what most folks see as "women?"

    Warren could have said: "Black women--including trans, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary--are the backbone of our democracy."

    P.S. It's still absurd pandering.
