- sickofparadox 2y agoSurely insulting people by calling them "low information voters" (read as: stupid idiot) will win this time despite failing in 2016 and 2024. Also, people were at the very least offered vasectomies at the DNC rally[1], so maybe you should check your information levels, they seem to need a top-off.

- Daishiman 2y agoYou're picking one point in the headline that by itself sounds totally outrageous because in the mind of the low-information voter you read the headline and think to yourself a sketchy booth that says "free vasectomies!!!1" and somebody grabbing you in the middle of a convention saying "Kid, want a free vasectomy?". In the context of a health check in reproductive health RV that offers a ton of things, _including_ vasectomies in the context of an informed discussion with a health expert, it is not only totally reasonable, but it should be extended to a host of other services that can provided in a mobile clinic the same that mobile vaccination sites were provided during COVID.

- Daishiman 2y agoNormal people are in favor of abortion and reproductive health. The only way that's weird is if you want to dress it up as weird, which is what people who think you shouldn't be able to do with your body as you please believe.
- dcow 2y agoI used to be a normal person. Then I became a parent. It changed my view on reproductive health entirely. I am not religious or conservative. I simply believe, based on lived experience, that life begins at conception. The tone with which the liberal democrats approach reproductive health, which you are parroting in your comment, is basic, immature, and inhuman. Bringing a new human into this world is a beautiful indescribable experience and the responsibility is shared equally. I no longer believe in ceding my half of that responsibility and my input over the process for the first 9 months solely to the mother. I don’t support a political agenda that believes the choice to terminate a pregnancy is only a woman’s to make, ra ra. Come what may.
- dang 2y agoYou broke the site guidelines badly and repeatedly in this thread. We have to ban accounts that do that, regardless of how wrong others are or you feel they are, so please don't do it again. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- dcow 2y agoI am a low information voter. I am far too busy working to support my family to spend my spare time doing psychedelics and reciting the names of my favorite politicians (and other high society pass-times) for fun. The fact that democrats can’t seem to include these low information voters in their narrative, especially since they’ve proven yet again that they are at least willing to show up and vote, is concerning. I hope the normal people can come to the table with a relevant agenda next time. Virtue signaling reproductive health doesn't put food on the table.

- CyberDildonics 2y agoa VP that gives men vasectomies at her rallies Why would you ever think this is true?
- sickofparadox 2y agoProbably because it is? [1] [1]https://www.npr.org/2024/08/20/nx-s1-5081386/planned-parenthood-mobile-clinic-abortion-vasectomies-dnc https://www.npr.org/2024/08/20/nx-s1-5081386/planned-parenth...

- sickofparadox 2y agoYour clinging to the idea that there is anyone at all who has said and meant, literally, that Kamala Harris was providing vasectomies to anyone is the kind of shrill idiocy that led her to lose this election. >"this is what's known as a lie for propaganda" No one is outright lying, but you are certainly being dishonest by insisting someone else was not speaking figuratively when they obviously were. >"your(sic) forgot to explain what the problem is." The problem is that it is weird and off putting to most Americans that there is a clinic offering sterilization procedures to supporters of a politician at their rally.

- blindriver 2y agoTrump talked for 3 hours straight and was coherent, remembered facts accurately and funny as well. Harris avoided any conversation that wasn’t heavily edited.
- throwaway4220 2y agoWhy is this still being said? Did you not watch the debate? What facts? He mixed up Nikki Haley and Nancy pelosi. He’s old, it’s not unexpected. I think he got a huge pass with Biden being in office, which was in retrospect a bad decision.

- throwaway4220 2y agoNo I heard parts of it. It actually making him affable. Harris was on call her daddy tho which she also was affable. I think Ezra Klein had an article on this - trumps authenticity is rare when most politicians have like a filter. Obama had like zero lag. Harris, Vance have some lag. I’m not saying the filter is necessarily needed or good, but I think it’s noticeable
- anon291 2y agoCall her daddy is not very popular compared to Rogan.

- Klonoar 2y agoSenile is not a binary flag here: Biden did not present as well as Trump, it’s as simple as that. He should have moved aside far, far sooner.
