People just need to let people freaking breastfeed their babies. FFS people. Just remember if the baby has a boob in its mouth it cannot scream.

If it doesn't exist, it can't scream either.

I don't know. I just figure it is easier to be cool when people breastfeed their babies than commit mass genocide of everybody under the age of 2.

It's the "Herod" school of politics.  :D

they already have it though, don't they?

My sister had some kind of clothing attachment that basically hid the baby and the breast. She had to use it once when we were at a restaurant and it was barely noticeable.

It's called "a blanket".  :whistle:

It was specialized though, something made for exactly that purpose.

Well, there certainly seems to be more public discourse about "should breastfeeding in public be allowed" than in the parts of Europe I'm aware of. It seems it's a bit of a thing.

I don't object her aspiration, I object the preciousness and the whole "touched by Bernie made this the happiest day ever" thing. I would vote for Bernie if I were American, but I find the whole social media personality cult a tad irritating.

Fair enough.

that's what I was wondering, what's exactly at issue when they already can do it.

so, I posted this

I think that's the point that they are theoretically trying to make.  In practice, their point seems to be more, "I'm a better person than mothers who have their babies on the bottle, so instead of just discreetly feeding my child when it needs fed, I have to flaunt what I'm doing for everyone to see, because that way they'll also see how much of a better person I am".

And you resent that because your breasts are barren?  :hmm:

Nah, I just basically see women who make a show of it as a bunch of dirty hippies.  :p:

Question: why do Democrats assume the Republicans will never again control the Presidency?
What's going on?
What is their calculation for this?

I don't see why they would be so confident, especially when so many polls claim most Americans are right of center.
