Yeah, we have that here too, bothsiderism. I think we can give the dems credit for being terrible in their own ways, which aren't like the ways that the republicans are good at being terrible.
They have their respective brands, and the brands are different. There's alot of shit I don't like, I'll need to use more than just the one word to refer to all of it accurately. Corporatism and fascism are distinct (and antithetical) positions.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Yes, no amount of how something behaves or does not behave makes a person or human. They may get to be treated at some level as human/people/person, but on a factual level they are not.
The law, at least, does recognize the concept of a ‘non-human person’. This is generally done in regards to animal rights. Since rights and responsibilities are exclusively human concerns, laws recognize animals - in a very limited sense - as people. This is what makes it possible to punish animal abusers and destroy dangerous animals.

To add - I know that the boiled down cynics response is that corporations just pay better. That they can buy votes, and buy politicians, and anyone not willing to play ball has no ultimate say in how that game is played or changed - better or worse. Still..if we wanted to get our laws and our services from whomever was willing to pay us the most - we can cut out the office holding middlemen entirely. Full on Jessica Government style.

Nah, completely comprehensible. Once you sift through his going all round the houses, it translates to, ‘I’m afraid of transgendered people.’

Odd that we have multiple people here who fall into that category.
oops...forgot to mention 'bold mine'.
