Not even. He officially left the Dems and registered as independent earlier this year.

Notice also how their go-to response is to talk about their right to vote for third-party candidates, which is a strawman of the criticism they typically receive. They can’t and don’t engage the actual substance of criticism, which is that voting third-party under our first-past-the-post system is a bad plan that has a proven track record of accomplishing absolutely nothing.

The first movie I remember seeing in theaters was the Special Edition of A New Hope.

I loved Episodes I & II as a kid, but by the time Episode III rolled around I had developed enough appreciation for good screenwriting that I left the theater mildly disappointed.

Both lawsuits argue that Tennessee law does not account for evolving science on the transmission of HIV or precautions that prevent its spread, like use of condoms. Both lawsuits also argue that labeling a person as a sex offender because of HIV unfairly limits where they can live and work and stops them from being alone with grandchildren or minor relatives.

“Tennessee’s Aggravated Prostitution statute is the only law in the nation that treats people living with HIV who engage in any sex work, even risk-free encounters, as ‘violent sex offenders’ subjected to lifetime registration,” the ACLU lawsuit states.

“That individuals living with HIV are treated so differently can only be understood as a remnant of the profoundly prejudiced early response to the AIDS epidemic.”

Exactly, the same mindset that takes you to “The entire geophysical establishment is wrong/lying about the shape of the Earth, so I’ll listen to this Youtube crank who says it’s a disc instead” will also lead you to things like “The entire medical establishment is wrong/lying about the effectiveness of masks & vaccines, so I’ll listen to this podcast crank hawking horse dewormer instead.”

Her motivations aren’t even as noble as that. The article goes on to describe how she’s actually just trying to undercut a proposed constitutional amendment:

But Ms. Bolick also railed against Planned Parenthood and Democratic support for abortion rights. She argued that her vote to repeal the 1864 ban could be Arizona’s best shot at curbing the momentum behind a proposed ballot measure to enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution.

Insulting someone via stereotype doesn’t show that they’re wrong. You’ve added less to the discussion than the person you’re attempting to mock.

No, a conspiracy is when people get together and conspire, i.e. they develop a secret plan of action for nefarious purposes. In the strictest sense, the term “conspiracy theory” just means that you’re theorizing that some people have secretly planned to do something. If you theorize that some wrongdoers have developed or enacted a secret plan, and it later turns out your suspicion was correct, then by definition you had a true conspiracy theory.

The ones who think either fossils are a test of your faith by god or dinos roamed the earth with humans.

FWIW, the vast majority of YECs fall into the latter category because, while the timeline of dinosaurs is explicitly contradicted by their interpretation of the Bible, the existence of dinosaurs isn’t. Remember the guy who had that famous debate with Bill Nye? The venue for that debate was a “Creation Museum” featuring life-size animatronic dinosaurs living with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. It’s the same organization that spent ~$100 million to build a 500-foot-long replica of Noah’s Ark in Kentucky, featuring dinosaurs in pens aboard the Ark (“Don’t worry guys, Noah probably took baby sauropods so there’s plenty of room for them on board”).

Creationist organizations lean hard into dinosaurs as an outreach tool because everybody agrees they’re awesome. They’d probably wax poetic about how amazing these creatures of God’s creation were, lament that the dinos we’re seeing in AR are a pale imitation of the dinos our Biblical ancestors saw in real life, and then condescendingly rant about how “secular science” is trying to drive a wedge between mankind and Biblical truth with its assumptions about “millions of years.”
