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.

A. Because everyone has a responsibility to themselves to check up on the person they're getting involved with. The signs are always there and secondly: Condoms. Condoms. Condoms.

B. "Why not?" Because two individuals constenting to unprotected or protected sex act is different from a group of individuals constenting to beating your ass up with bike chains. Also: Refer right back to what I said about the convienence of social contracts.
