I know 50 years ago gays couldn't get married. Agschmid May 2016 #4

Relevance to the OP? nt silvershadow May 2016 #5

Well you said 50 years ago everything was fine and dandy. Agschmid May 2016 #6

Sounds like you are just the type of person I referenced in the OP. nt silvershadow May 2016 #7

What gay and happy I can get married now? Agschmid May 2016 #8

Which is fine and dandy, but has nothing to do with the OP. Whatsoever. nt silvershadow May 2016 #11

Sure it does... Blanks May 2016 #35

This has zero to do with gays or any other issue. It has to due with our form of government. silvershadow May 2016 #37

Our "form" of government has not changed in the past 50 years, so try again. politicaljunkie41910 May 2016 #71

The TPP. I remember a few months ago when it was still ok to discuss that here. nt silvershadow May 2016 #73

So since when does discussing the TPP get you banned from DU? That's the problem with politicaljunkie41910 May 2016 #75

It's not because I am a Bernie supporter. It's because I am a proud Union labor man. nt silvershadow May 2016 #76

In the 1960s Trenzalore May 2016 #53

That's the standard? "Hey, at least you didn't get shot in the head?" Wow. Crazy stuff there. nt silvershadow May 2016 #56

You picked the 60s Trenzalore May 2016 #57

No, you picked the 60's rather than the topic of the OP. I just responded, unnecessarily. nt silvershadow May 2016 #58

If you asked me if I had more hope after 8 years of Obama Trenzalore May 2016 #65

My observation, you mean. PeaceNikki May 2016 #23

Yes, I did observe the slide out of democracy. I lived it. Your point? nt silvershadow May 2016 #24

I made my point. We've had a ton of progressive victories in the past 50 years. PeaceNikki May 2016 #26

So you believe Corporatocracy (Fascism) is a good thing for women? AgingAmerican May 2016 #29

Newp. PeaceNikki May 2016 #31

The corporacracy is happy to give us social victories, just as long as they gain further silvershadow May 2016 #30
