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.

Medical reasons is a really stupid argument.

Why?

if you don't mix with them

Impossible. The fuck-happy portion isn't an island; their actions eventually affect everyone else. I suppose the HIV population appeared from nowhere?

I think you better start with your cruisade for a better world with the smokers

This isn't a crusade, and nobody said what the smokers were doing was right either. "They're doing stuff wrong, so I should too!": what fine juvenile logic.
