Comment Re:Lets be real here... (Score 1) 459

Means Hillary what? DNC picks her versus Biden? What? That is so obviously a poor bet for the general election (see 2016 results). I don't know why this idea keeps coming up, or how anyone convinced you of this garbage, or further still, why you insist on parroting it here as if it is some super insightful prediction.

If those rankings had a correlation with high taxes then why are places like Texas and New York both way down at the bottom? He said that the taxes go to funding schools well, not that the funding is effectively raising the testing scores. You are the one who rephrased it to say that and conveniently moved the goalposts.

This opinion is being pushed hard in conservative circles, and it's pretty obvious the Trump administration is just virtue signaling to gin up their base. Your next point illustrates you are the exact demographic who buys this stuff: the people doing fine without a college degree. Sweeping generalizations like "college is a scam" are very stupid. Not all college offerings are created equal. Paying for that racquetball class is probably not as good as that electrical engineering one. It's like saying all supermarkets are a scam because that one guy is living off of cheesy poofs.

Sounds like you're strawmanning their position to me. They're calling voter ID law motives racist and then you call them racist for saying there's anything to do with race. Forget the motives, it does not have to be racist to not be ideal. There is a segment of the population that do live without an ID despite your incredulity, and it is most likely they are poor people. If you think that this portion of the population should not be able to vote or it's not worth it enabling them to, then be honest about that goal or drawback to securing the election. IMO,the goal should be to maximize ability to vote with minimal fraud, not just one or the other.

Similar principle as in the movies. The stylish villain has a butterfly knife or a switchblade. Sure they could just unsheathe a Bowie knife and stab someone, but it doesn't quite have the same effect of making people say, "Fuck that's cool!" before they get a few inches of steel between the ribs.

Mr. Dundee would beg to differ.

I would suggest giving up on the identity politics and tribalism garbage. It is not the solution to liberals doing the same. Who hates who? As for that second paragraph, you need to get over the fact that Hillary lost the election. Why are you even talking about her?

That whole bathroom non sequitur is just a bogeyman someone has convinced you to be scared of. You really think they will pass a law and a bunch of perverts are going to just pop on a dress and peep on your kid in the bathroom? And what, you call the cops and they're like, he's just identifying as a woman today and it's all good? It's a whole lot better to live without being afraid of everything.
