    Also, fun Scott Wiener fact. He was behind a big push to decriminalization knowingly spreading STDs even if you lied to your partner about having one.

    congrats on falling for right wing disinformation

      Right wing disinformation? Lol

      If you knowingly lie and spread an std through sex or donating blood it goes from a felony to a misdemeanor. Aka decriminalization.

      I don’t know how that’s right wing. I believe most people across the political spectrum probably don’t STDs, and especially don’t want to get them because a partner lied or they got a blood transfusion.

      I also hate how so many people jump to call something disinformation just because they don’t like a particular fact. You calling it disinformation is in fact disinformation itself, and if everybody calls everything they don’t like disinformation then society will have no idea what is true or not.

          I did read the article, the article that I shared, that explains exactly what I said: Scott Weiner campaigned to decriminalization knowingly spreading STDs while lying.

          What did I say that was wrong?
