Depending on where you live, anti-social can be a strong survival trait.
Sure there are. But not sold by Tesla. Tesla will remain a fringe manufacturer until it moves the sort of volume that mainstream brands move, not the tiny volume that rich-boy toys move. And that, after all, is the goal of the Model 3.
For example, Republicans have been pushing voter ID laws which include stricter ID standards, more bureaucratic hoops to get ID, and the closing of offices to get IDs in areas which, by some crazy coincidence, are where black people live. None of these things are racist on the face of it, but the result is that its harder for black people to vote, and thus that fewer blacks vote. The Republicans and their supporters know this, but bristle at accusations of racism because, hey, its not like they used the N-word or anything like that.
If what you say about republicans is true, then democrats are akin to the khamer rouge. And please, I live in Canada, I've lived in Europe. The US is one of very *few* western countries that doesn't have a requirement of voter ID.
This has nothing to do with "making it harder" especially when states are willing to hand out the ID for free. It seems to me, that democrats would be much happier to let people vote as many times as they can and "call it democracy." I mean it's not like there haven't been a string of democrats having been charged in the last year for election fraud or anything right? I mean there was one two days ago, that was charged with 19 counts I believe.
I'm sorry you can't see that the US is still a deeply racist society in many ways. The legal system is incredibly biased, harassment by the police is a major problem, and the Republican party still finds mass appeal in certain states with dog-whistle, coded racism. Its a bigger social problem, not the fault of one party, but the Republican party has chosen to be the standard bearer of that racism (see the Southern Strategy, still in effect).
The US is a deeply racist society? I haven't read anything so funny in all my life. I'm guessing you've never traveled to japan, s.korea, malaysia or anything. You want to see deeply racist, try looking there. Or better yet, go look at the middle east...you'll see what a deeply racist society looks like. I do find it funny though that you use key words and talking points right out of the various left-wing pundits though. Perhaps you're so biased, and so deeply ingrained in your own bigotry that you can't see what you're actually saying.
Seriously? I don't think I've ever read such BS in my life. Can you do us all a favor and tell everyone which between the two parties always falls back on playing the race card on any issue, when something isn't going it's own way. Or uses slanderous attacks in order to try and stifle another persons speech? I'll give you a hint, it's that "center-right party" that you were talking about at the start. I'm not even american, and I can see fundamental differences between the two. You however, with that post simply scream "political shill."
My personal favorite, is when democrats call black republicans "house niggers, and uncle toms" being the most kind of the two that they use.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
