I don't how we're saying different things. Too small a sample is a bad study. Multiple good studies with mixed results, is a bad thing to base policy upon as it is not evidence.

Context.

One of those things is a policy you support and are actively defending. I don't know why you are defending it.

No, I'm telling you that you are clueless because you made it known. You clearly don't understand why Trump won. You clearly don't recognize how your preferred policies harmed the people who voted for him. They have been screaming about it, but you didn't listen! They saw what Democrats did and what they wanted to do and shouted NO! Yet you still think you're the one looking out for them.

Keep running away if you like. It changes nothing. You're just retreating from the truth.

You mocked my statement because your neighbors don't pick fruit. Is it unreasonable to then infer that you don't care about people who aren't your neighbors but are harmed by illegal immigration? Maybe you have a neighbor in construction. Ask them if they aren't harmed by the jobs lost to illegal competition.

Why do you want there to be millions of people exempt from minimum wage and workplace safety laws? Why do you want your fruit to be picked by someone who will be deported if they complain about not getting a lunch break? Why do you want there to be an underclass you can exploit?

I do not have a problem with checking the Medicaid rolls for people who should not be receiving benefits and deporting them if the reason is that they are here illegally. I think that's a great idea that should have been what we were doing from the start.

But sex is binary, despite the very rare birth defects. That you want to invent an entirely unsound and unjustifiable new classification system to suit your political preferences is a problem. It sure isn't scientific. Hormone levels fluctuate, your chromosomes don't.

You are the one who said you were losing, I told you why. You insult people who tell you when you are clearly wrong. Not only do you continue to be wrong when you do that, you piss everyone else off.

Oh, I'm incredibly skeptical of cryptocurrency. I don't understand what it's for and can't see any way that it represents value. I suspect that it is a giant scam.

But I also know that even with the crash and Great Recession, partially privatized Social Security would have saved the system by now and left you with a LOT more waiting for your retirement. Those naysayers were brutally wrong and cost us the opportunity to all have cushy retirements. I could be the wrong one now.

Admit that you want everyone to have a high minimum wage, except the people who make your food.

What? Do you not see how you are demanding illegally cheap and exploitable labor? Stop pussyfooting around and just admit you want slaves picking the crops.

Stop substituting your personality disorder for reality.

Wait, I just realized something.

You're "well compensated". The people who aren't see how the policies you prefer are hurting them and aren't hurting you. The people you think you'd be helping say, "No, that doesn't help us. Trump helps us, you hurt us." But you aren't listening to them. You don't think they are smart enough to know what they're talking about, so you don't care. Well, they know their lives, their lives and their interests better than you ever could. They're telling you that you are wrong about what they need and are hurting them. LISTEN!

Whose benefits does Trump control? Hmm. Well, there are the people who work for the Trump organization, and... nobody else because the government doesn't control your employee benefits? Congress sets the pay and benefit schedule for Federal employees, so Trump doesn't even control that.

Did you know that during the first Trump administration, the income gap shrunk because wages for the bottom 40% increased faster than those at the top? Of course, that's largely cyclical, but that cycle had been hindered by bad policy.

Oh, so if they are only your fellow citizens instead of people you see every day, they don't matter?

Why do I care what the UN's preferred wording is? The correct and proper legal term in the USA is "illegal alien". It does not in any way mean a person is illegal, it means their presence is. That's a nonsense argument you shouldn't be falling for. You have to willfully misinterpret plain English to arrive at that conclusion.

And I'm sorry if you don't like being called out for wanting cheap, exploitable labor to pick your damn cotton, but that's what you seem to want. I mean, the House Minority Leader said as much, he just selected a different crop so it wouldn't be so damn obvious.

Democrats want cheap labor they can exploit. People that won't complain or call OSHA. People they can pay less than minimum wage. That is what the Party's leadership has said.
