If you are someone who has the capacity to understand most issues, and follow most issues and actually think about long term consequences then likely you should run for office.Quote:

We let them out!
OK we let out a million people tomorrow, all of whom have no jobs and no place to live. What's gonna happen?
uhhhhh.... uhhhhhhh.....
OK we have made drug use decriminalized and we need more treatment folks and less police officers. What do all the trained police officers do?
uhhhhhh. uhhhhhhh.....
My point is... I know a few things really ****ing well. I vote on those. I trust that my friends who are into economics will vote on that. Those who understand foregin policy vote on that. For some people they know this one thing really well, let them vote on that. Again it's the opposite of the saying "a person is smart, people are stupid." Together we can make good decisions knowing what we know. Some of that is identity.
And conservatives are always out there yelling at people who are Hispanic about how they have to "speak English" and yet we have this doozy...Quote:

right but voting for a person you can identify with is very common, and I don't fault anyone for that. Do you think before Obama, blacks ever had ANYONE that they could identify with? No, they did not. Where as white men have ALWAYS had multiple choices of people just like them.Quote:

by the way, while living in Houston, I heard multiple white men say, "I wouldn't vote for Obama, he is black". I can guarantee you many of these same men wouldn't vote for Hillary because she is a woman. So acting like white male Republicans don't stick to their white boys is ludicrous. In fact I would think they are actually more loyal to their kind than minorities when it comes to voting.
Is it “an Hispanic” or “a Hispanic”? Because if this is like the acceptable use of “an historical” I’m gonna be annoyed.
It would be "a Hispanic" and "a historical". Anyone using "an" with a word that has a consonant sound isn't fit to lecture "a Hispanic" on their grammar or tell them to "speak English". I've got no problem with mistakes and when typing, I can easily forgive putting just "a" and a word with a vowel sound as I know that I've had cases where the keyboard didn't recognize a key stroke. But it rarely ever adds extra letters. Wrong letters, sure; but not extra ones. I've typed "he" when trying to type "the" more times than I can count. Odds are if you read a sentence of mine that seems to make less sense and contains the word "he", you should read it as "the" and hopefully it makes more sense.Quote:

What we need, I guess, is a nameless, faceless human that goers by a number and stays behind a constant shroud (not a sheet) so we can't see him/her/lgbtqabc. During debates they can answer questions using one of those voice gadgets. Once the election is over we unveil the winner to see who, I mean what, they actually are. We then give the losing side 6 months to whine about fraud, Russians, hookers, graft, crime whatever and then they have to shut up.
That should please everyone.
LOL. I have no problem with making mistakes but people need to shut their lips about how immigrants need to learn English when they speak backwoods fourth grade.Quote:

I will say though, the "stick to your own kind" mantra being criticized has been going on forever here. Why it's all of a sudden called out makes no sense is all.Quote:
