Of course Victor is stating gerrymandering is involved in the control of the Senate. So there is that.

Shocked that the dude who failed at the markets makes a bad analogy at what "buying low" means.

Wil, for like the 800th time I stress to you that the habits of the LGBT community before HIV was discovered have no bearing on their habits since and an anonymous Internet post saying that people over the age of 50 could have a ton of partners had literally no bearing on our argument. How you still can't grasp that is mind blowing.

I think you should do a search in BFI for my investment in January of 2009. You think samsonh was actually correct?

But I didn't lie.

Not picking on the poster. I consider this a hateful post. Not calling for moderation or anything. Just wondering what others think. I am sure many will respond essentially that is the truth. However, there is nothing to really back this up. They aren't facts. Expecting appeals to authority as a response.

The Republicans have held the House for 20 out of the last 24 years. The Dems held it from 2006-2010. From 1932 -1994 the Dems held the House all but 4 years IIRC. From 68-2020 the POTUS has been a Dem for 20 years (Carter, Clinton, and Obama) as the Repubs have held it for 32 years. The Senate has been back and forth since 94 as prior to that the Dems completely dominated. The 94 election was a seminal event in American politics. It isn't like the 2010 census suddenly started getting Republicans elected. It's an urban myth.

Good post.

I agree with the general notion, even though I could come up with a few arguments why free college for everyone isn´t a good idea.
(this probably isn´t suited for the President Trump thread though and I´m about to ban my account anyway, so I´ll leave it at that)

I didn't attack you, I said you lack perspective on this topic. I obviously never said racism shouldn't be fought against.

The point seemed to go way over your head, again. Not shocked that you've literally never accepted the fact that the LGBT community changed dramatically once HIV was discovered. It's amazingly intellectually dishonest to keep skirting this.

Wait, you think gerrymandering is a myth? There are plenty of well researched studies on this.

Republicans are acting on a course that specifically goads hates after foreseeable hate for themselves. Are they personally responsible for how much of it? Any? 50%? 99% If it is a result of their choices is all their's?

More intellectually dishonest than you editing your "literal copy and paste"?

Should have taken my 1000. The forum would have cheered.

What about the children who wanna grow up to be journalists?

Wouldn't have been the first time your loud boasting in this forum resulted in losing a grand, hey-o!

There is no other option. Being nice isn't possible. The hatred and bigotry is coming from the left. You can't see it.

The right can't really voice their opinions, the only thing they have left is voting in private. And they didn't vote for the left.

Scoreboard, though.

Wil you disregarded my argument because of personal reasons. That is an attack against me and ignores the argument. Whether I "know what racism" is or not I can call bull**** on you saying we should never fight against racism. That is exactly what you said.

You literally do not know what "fake news" is. Last time you chimed in, you thought any article with anonymous sources was "fake news". You are too unknowledgeable to offer any input on this subject.

Yes, because you still can't bring yourself to say that the discovery of HIV was a huge impact to the LGBT community or understand that was basically the entire ****ing argument.

Again, two days ago I said I would donate $200 to charity if you had a link that proved your claims. You balked. I then was sent your link, laughed at it, then posted that the majority (which you agreed with) people on that link disagreed with you.
I then said I posted the first 10 replies that were relevant
You then offered me 20:1 on $50 that I didn't do this
You then called me poor for not accepting your $50 bet despite offering $200 for the same thing 12 hours prior
I then laughed at you for thinking the post that riled you up was relevant at all, because it obviously wasn't.

You think this looks well on you. The $200 offer is still open fwiw.

That's a narrative of defeat and surrender. you have no choice but follow trump now? You even have to accuse me of not seeing it, but I already know you have no idea what I have seen and heard which i haven't told you. And here you are voicing your opinion while saying you can't really? It's not shouting you down asking if this is what you are really doing?

Can you tell hate and bigotry from contempt for hate and bigotry though? What the heck do you really know about that which would lead to this post?

Saying that you're white and may lack a sense of perspective on something is "personal reasons"?

No, you posted the replies that helped your argument. That was not the claim you made, which is why you didn't accept the bet.

I'm telling you how people who supported Trump feel. I'm unsure where you're getting all the rest.

I have reason not to believe people who support trump, without checking and investigating first. Also, I have been listening to trump supporters for months and months now.

I am asking you how you tell hatred and bigotry from contempt for hatred and bigotry? To see if you can support your assertions about people.

Unverified articles with anonymous sources are indeed "fake news" until verified.

Likewise stating blatantly incorrect stories as fact, as you did in the post I quoted, is also an example of "fake news".

Rightfully so. I think everyone should feel this way at this point.

I think it can morph from contempt into actual hatred. When I say I think the left right now is the most dangerous thing I've ever seen in my adult life, do you think I'm kidding? The left is truly angry, and the right is growing more and more tired of them.

I hope it stops.

Anger is a normal and healthy emotion though, so your narrative about people is alt-informative on that matter.
