It's primary election day around here. I'll be wandering off toward the polls later this afternoon, but for a lot of these local races its a...
Hey now! We may not have great healthcare, and maybe we don't like it very much ourselves, but by God we pay a heck of a lot more for it than...
Thanks. That's a great video.
And yet they are if you start comparing states within the same country... As I noted above, states with higher rates of gun ownership and few gun...
Then surely policies changes which result in fewer gun owners would affect this, yes? Perhaps, but the longer it takes to acquire a gun the more...
You seem to have me confused with a search engine or encyclopedia. Needless to say, I am not repository of all those statistics, nor an expert...
Off the cuff, I suspect murder rates correlate most closely with poverty. That's a remarkably big assumption to put forward without any...
I'm not sure inter-regional comparisons are especially useful. Alabama and Maine are very different places in a host of ways and it would be hard...
That’s what I’m saying! The police did absolutely nothing wrong…with the one tiny exception of beating an unmanned fellow citizen to death. So...
Exactly! Very well put. Totally his fault. Everyone knows a "contrary, cavalier and disrespectful attitude" justifies a fatal beating by five...
I think these posts make an excellent point that too many people are overlooking. It's obvious that any minor misdeed on the part of a citizen...
Anyone here a Dwarf Fortress player/fan? The Steam/graphical version just came out. Even such notable publications as the Washington Post and the...
This is true. But then I think that’s always been the case. Part of running for office, as an individual or a party, is figuring out how to reach...
You're putting some serious effort into analyzing and sharing this stuff. Thank you! ::thread watched::
That's the spirit, guys! Blame the American people! Tell them they're too lazy and stupid to know what's good for them and their country! It's...
Dear Democrats, Congratulations on your glorious and astonishing triumph of not losing as badly as you possibly could have! Keep the following in...
Biden's merits are debatable and I'm not one to sing his praises. He certainly wasn't my first choice. Back in 2016, of all the candidates running...
Well said. Biden worked as a candidate against Trump because he was the one least likely to distract from Trump's own sabotage of himself. That's...
That's a ridiculously broad brush. MAGA means too many different things to different people. And you can't declare 40% of the population...

That would be interesting. I'd have to learn more about her, but it would certainly get people's attention.
It seems to me that Pete Buttigieg ought to be in there somewhere.
If by "these problems" you mean "not having an ID that meets the requirements of proposed laws," then I don't anyone, left or right, has to make...
I think this "low expectations" thing rather misses the point. The objection (or at least the better formulated objections) aren't that minorities...
Putting aside the proactive question about what "white leftists" think, we can actually get data on the more relevant and objective questions "Are...
