Progressive.

Hi, I'm black college student studying human biology and medicine and I am a democrat, but thinking of voting differently next election.

Who decides what progressive means and what progress is?

The discovery of anti-biotics was progressive, the civil rights movement was progressive, Maya Angelou is progressive. So why exactly is having more promiscuous gay sex "progressive"? How exactly is socialism progressive? Why is mass immigration progressive? None of these things do any good.

P.S. Finland is a republic with a 50% tax rate, not socialist republic or a democratic socialism. If you want to look as socialist "republics" go to China, North Korea and Vietnam and if you want actual republics and democracies go to neighbouring Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea. These countries, even though they have a wider poor-rich gap still provide better care for their worse off than countries who supposedly value equality.

"What, praytell, does people being prevented from voting due to their skin color have to do with "gay rights"?"

In context to what I was responding to, it makes a lot. The OP asked why gay sex was progressive. Read: why homosexuality was progressive. Read: why homosexuals deserve rights. Read: why humans are equal. ALL civil rights causes are equivalent, regardless of the persons being persecuted or those doing the persecuting. Niggers hate fags, whites hate niggers, fags hate butches, butches hate niggers, niggers hate whites. We all want to recall each other's rights. Why do you think being a gay nigger is such a laughable situation? Whites have earned a right to be homosexuals through several thousand years of superiority, niggers have just 50 years ago earned the right to exist. Your confusion lies in your hatred, nothing else. The black civil rights movement has tried to segregate itself from the homosexuality rights movement because everybody hates gays. In 150 years, when trimorphindextrous-crossdressing-aliens want to get married, the faggots in wheelchairs and on breathing tubes will say "WE WERE FIGHTING FOR A CAUSE, YOU JUST WANT TO STICK YOUR DICK IN A TENTACLE." And you wonder why I speak as if I'm superior to you?

"when capitalism is the reason why the world, or at least the industrialized world, can sustain the number of people that it does."
LOLS. I refuse to even address this with more than laughter. Of course, you'll tell yourself in your mind that I stepped away from the argument because I didn't have one. And of course, you'll never understand the world. Read the front page of a newspaper and come back to me. I suspect you live in the US, otherwise the censors wouldn't have filtered the fact that the entire world is drifting towards pure socialism. If you want some hard evidence take a look in in your cupboards.
