For thos of you who don't know what im talking about manspreading is where a man spreads his legs particularly on public transport to make sure air gets to the crown jewels, and bagspreading is where women place their handbag on the seat next to them so nobody can sit in that seat.

I suspect Vox lost primarily because they were off messaging. They campaigned primarily on identity issues such as abortion and feminism, as well as immigration whereas I suspect they would’ve done a far better job if they campaigned more on message by focusing on the issues that permeate society more and align better with voters; Jobs and the Economy.

If you study the history of the “far right” in Europe, its pocketbook issues that win them elections. Vox simply just did not capitalize on that factor enough and might’ve even alienated voters by choosing to campaign principally on identity issues.

Regardless, with the current state of things in Spain, its going to be very hard for either party to form a coalition, and if it does happen, it will likely take months.

However it also appears unlikely to happen, as Pedro Sanchez would likely have to make some major concessions to Catalan seperatists, in order to win their support to form a coalition.

Also I’ve heard Catalan seperatism itself is very unpopular among the Spanish electorate, so if he made concessions toward it, I imagine that would be like the equivalent of political suicide.

My prediction? A new election will be called eventually, whether it be relatively soon, or after failed negotiations trying to form a coalition.

I doubt a coalition itself will actually be able to form.

We’re going to have to transition through this era of transgender issues. Problems will arise, surprisingly in athletics- not unforeseen.

Kicking people off teams isn’t the way. No matter how pro or anti trans she is- that’s irrelevant. And if the trans kid was asked he/she would say the same.

Not sire why stalls aren’t more in use. My health club could have one giant locker room, stalls for showering…towel/shorts…. stalls for dressing. It doesn’t have to be cocks out.

All the actors are excellent and it’s a great movie as well but all the actors are white.

i have read some journals, seen some videos and heard veterans even talk about how a good bit of them actually enjoyed their time in war, some even said it was a good time or the best time in their life, i know this is not all men and some have serious ptsd and horrible memories of war, but my question is this why did some men seem to enjoy war, and in earlier times even look forward to it. if you are a veteran and it is not too insulting i would like if you share your stories of your war (s) whether it be good or bad.

No more asking for race on profiles, applications, etc. We only identify by skin tones and maybe nationality if describing accents. Of course our family ancestry is relevant. But no more valuing “race” or the idea of “race”.

Would you support a universal health care program funded by taxs in the United States.

It’s a famous ethics equation.
If you have the ability to save a child from drowning and don’t you’re immoral.

Extrapolate that to the world and if you have the ability to save children from famine and don’t…are you? So living luxuriously means you aren’t saving children in poverty.

Personally I don’t think I’m morally responsible for all children in the world. And there’s an economic argument for spending money in a capitalist society.

The Hague should be the new Night Court.
