A 2025 poll by The New York Times reveals that 79% of Americans do not believe males should be competing in women’s sports, no matter the gender with which they identify. (And only 18% said they should be allowed to compete.) In fact, the more Americans think about the subject, the more they oppose it; a similar poll in 2023 found 67% opposed. A jump of 12% in opposition over the course of less than two years is quite remarkable. Further, it is almost impossible to find any other subject on which almost 80% of Americans all agree in 2025; you just don’t see an 80/20 split on social issues today.

Exposed for racism:
In January 2023, Politico reported on criticism that Porter was "allegedly a terrible—according to some accounts, abusive and racist—boss."[86] The accusations include allegations that she used racist language and "ridiculed people for reporting sexual harassment".[87]
The Washington Post interviewed eight former employees on condition of anonymity about their experiences working for Porter.[88] The staffers described her as domineering and recounted multiple examples of her mistreatment of staffers, including instances where she berated staffers until they cried.[88] In response to the allegations that she created a toxic workplace, Porter defended herself on The View in April 2023 by comparing herself to women of color who are discriminated against.

R66 Agreed. She can't win a statewide race here. I'd bet the only reason she was leading the Dem candidates in the polls because she is the only one who has nationwide name recognition due to her House service. All the other Dem candidates right now are state-level folks -- and while a few of them have statewide recognition (Betty Yee, Xavier Becerra, Antonio Villaraigosa), none of them exactly inspire or light a room on fire.
I'm really hoping the rumors are true that Alex Padilla is about to jump in the race. Competent, well known, knows how to work with Washington, and has already been publicly abused by the Trump (so-called) administration while standing up to them. He's a fighter.

I believe that currently, there’s this simmering, yet identifiable movement, of new liberal candidates, who present as liberals, with the caveat that they're just as shitty as MAGA.
I don't think I like this trend.
Look at what’s happened with Fetterman, and others?
Beware of the Trojan Horse, my fellow democrats.
The moment we begin allowing our leadership to claim to have our values, however, behave otherwise, consistently? Well, that is precisely how we end up with problems.
Some of these self proclaimed dems are capable of being just as poorly behaved/unprincipled, as those who are MAGA, in this current administration.
It’s not about purity. It’s about resisting all of the same bullshit that got us here in the first place, due to conmen/conwomen, who are willing to do whatever it takes to sit at the table of power, & get in a cushy job that offers amongst MANY benefits, free healthcare for life.
This lady isn’t a good fit for most of us. Anyone who performs her type of political theater, in order to conveniently leak it, is just another side of the same coin, that reveals Kristi Noem, who claims to have murdered her puppy, in order to get where she is today.
People like this cannot be trusted. They're manipulating/pandering, to those who are easily manipulated/pandered to, & if they’re willing to do that? Then WTF else are they willing to do?
She’s a power hungry cunt, & she is not beyond manufacturing this recorded scenario, in order to appeal to those who are shitty people to begin with, way before they saw her as a possible candidate to vote for, & before Trump’s name even found it’s way into the political arena as a presidential candidate.
These ridiculous performances & games are not what democracy is founded upon. If we keep on engaging with these power hungry psychopaths via chicanery & spectacle, we will become another version of them, although a “lite” one.
Don’t fall for this BULLSHIT.
Do NOT forget for one second that each and every one of us here on this forum, might be someday be targeted AS AMERICANS who aren’t undocumented migrants, just because we’re liberals, LGBTQ, etc.
These Project 2025 folks are already ramping up violent political sentiment in order to appeal to MAGA the idea that liberals are Antifa, which is a recently & patent & falsely constructed terrorist group, out of thin air, without any data or evidence in order to substantiate their ridiculous claims, while ignoring what Antifa actually means, & WHY it means what it means.
Bottom line:
You’re LGBTQ, Hispanic, Black, a legal resident born outside of the United States, you’re the legitimate press, the average John Q citizen, a citizen born into citizenship by birthright, a Hollywood actor or entertainer or writer, producer, or whatever?
Consider THIS:
THESE PEOPLE IN OUR CURRENT ADMINISTRATION ARE COMING FOR YOU/US. NO ONE, & I MEAN FUCKING NO ONE, IS SAFE FROM THE MACHINERY THAT IS FASCIM.
We cannot afford to have people like this hateful bitch, running things.
