    What is socially liberal about preserving caste discrimination? How does keeping psilocybin illegal or capping the price of insulin deplete the rainy day fund?

    How is standing in the way of contraception socially liberal?

      He vetoed a bill that provides free condoms with cost as a reason. Hardly standing in the way, just not giving a helping hand.

      Helping people is leftist, not liberal.

        Well, at least I won’t be under the mistaken impression that he’s progressive anymore.

          “What harm will it do” is a shit argument. Tell me what good it will do.

            It will explicitly protect people from caste discrimination instead of the weak and easily misinterpreted protections they currently have.

            But a Democrat in office did it, so it must be right in all cases and any flimsy justification must be instantly accepted without question.
