Hollywood: Sexual assault whack-a-mole

I guess Trump's strong anti-vaccination stance has also kind of taken the issue from the left as well.

Looking at the people on this list, I'm not sure how "left" it ever was:

It seems to be a weirdly apolitical issue, in that idiots of all stripes (Michelle Bachmann, Alex Jones, Bill Maher, Donald Trump, Robert F Kennedy Jr.) support it.

[Krandor]

Anti-vac is absolutely a primarily left leaning thing.

Or is the Green Party and Jill Stein now part of the right?

[Byrthnoth]

are Michelle Bachmann, Alex Jones, and Donald Trump now part of the left?

[archibaldcrane]

Or the Amish?

If we go by how many votes the candidate opposing vaccination got, it is a mainstream Republican issue.

That's actually true for most of the "alt-right" stances. They're all actually mainstream Republican issues now.

He doesn't have one because it isn't true.

Yes, I"m sure that naming the Jew is totally a mainstream Republican issue in the current electoral cycle.

Antivax is equally a left and right issue. Idk why people would think its strictly a leftish problem.

Yeah, my oldest sister is irksomely republican and she jumped on this train sometime back.

Yes, I knew Jill Stein was a sellout. I'm saying it's not necessarily true that it's "predominately left".

Anti-vax cuts across the political divide, conservatives are actually more likely than liberals to say parents should have the final choice, though more as part of a liberty-focused ideology than because they don't believe the science. But when it comes to dumdum parents and governments actually fucking kids over there is a leftist (and Western) tilt.

from your article:

The bottom line is that the CDC data makes it very difficult to argue that conservatives and liberals share equal blame in the anti-vaccine war. Anti-vaxxers are clearly more associated with the political Left.

I don't think you read AG's post.

[Zealot]

Smack yourself in the fucking ballsack and then read what he wrote and what you quoted again.

[Heavencloud]

fair point but I like how this ended

are Michelle Bachmann, Alex Jones, and Donald Trump now part of the left? -> Or the Amish? -> it is a mainstream Republican issue -> I'm saying it's not necessarily true that it's "predominately left" -> actually fucking kids over there is a leftist tilt.

[kuronosan]

To be fair what I meant was more along the lines of "it's not 85% left".

[Zetanio]

I think the statement of "all anti-vaxxers are fucking retarded" sums this whole issue up.

[Deftscythe]

I think the statement of "all anti-vaxxers are fucking retarded" sums this whole issue up.

But that would imply that an issue can exist outside the left-right dichotomy and we can't take sides on it. Can't have that.

[dasva]

How the fuck did we get to anti-vaxxers in this thread!?!
