I like Trump because he is going to use his authority to jail his opponents.

which opponents in particular? are you wanting him to arrest certain specific democrats? all current democratic lawmakers? all democrats in general? the quotes you provided were somewhat general.

genuine question(s) for trump voters -- why do you want to vote for trump? what is the thing about him that you believe will benefit you and/or the nation? or, if you like: why should i vote for trump, too?

these are not meant to be sarcastic questions at all, and i'm not gonna argue with your answers. just curious.

there is actually a significant body of research on the effectiveness of violent vs. non-violent protest/revolution. we don't have to guess.

i have yet to see any literature coming out of this research that says violent revolutions are more likely to achieve their aims than non-violent ones. but there are many that find the converse.

I don't think "we know people who do weird voodoo shit with cats" is a bridge too far.

"my friend 'went to a voodoo ritual'" is already a bridge too far for me to take anything that follows at face value

okay so when are y'all gonna get to using the guns to protect you from the government? when does that part happen? i feel like the right has been pretty clear that the state and society are systematically oppressing them, stripping their rights away, selling state authority to corrupt interests, etc etc.

so like...get to it. you got the guns. when does the liberation start?

your source simply doesn't understand the difference between weighted and unweighted values.

Still waiting for an authority to be cited.


i dunno, i feel like the nyt is a pretty solid authority on "how does the nyt do polling." but that's me.

or do you need an authority to tell you that 207 is equal to 207?

Those people are authorities in their field.

ahahahahhahhhhahahaaahahahahahaha

Quote from: justthenews
Those [NYT] surveys, however, have attracted scrutiny from an array of pollsters either due to their lack of transparency about the sampling methodology or from oversampling Democrats.

cool, let's examine these claims.

1) lack of transparency about sampling methodology.

https://www.nytimes.com/article/times-siena-poll-methodology.html

and there's literally a section at the bottom of the poll data itself called "full methodology" that describes...well, i don't wanna give it away. but it has to do with the full methodology of the polling.

2) oversampling democrats.




lol i know numbers are tough for you, but notice how they didn't oversample democrats at all. by self-reporting, they spoke to an equal number. by L2 data, they spoke to more republicans than democrats. your source simply doesn't understand the difference between weighted and unweighted values. probably because he doesn't understand nyt's methodology. lmao this is way too funny.

3) bonus claim: "Exit polls from the 2020 election may provide a benchmark for estimating the partisan affiliations of voters."

ahahahahhahhhhahahaaahahahahahaha yeah demographics never change over time, that's why we just use polling demographics from 1776 or whatever.

fam you really gotta stop taking people at their word simply because you both vote for the same party.

The chief executive of the world championship organization that banned her stated in the conference that she failed the chromosome test

right. or: some dude says she failed a test. you can change "says" to "stated" if you want, i guess. not sure what difference it makes.

is your argument really that he can't possibly be lying since he's the head of an organization? are you listening to yourself?

the chromosome test repeatedly failed to pass the genetic material as a XX chromosome.

according to some dude. holler at me if he ever provides any documentation besides "this totally really happened for real, i promise!"

i mean if you wanna simply take some dude's word for it that she totally has XY chromosomes, then sure, hold that belief. that's the level of skepticism we've all come to expect from you at this point anyway.

Now, it does seem possible that she may be genetically male and has some condition which led to her being incorrectly assigned female at birth, there is certainly some doubt about whether she should be competing with females.

fyi there is literally no evidence at all that she's anything other than biologically female besides "some russian guy said she's totally a man" after she defeated a russian boxer one time.

Maybe you should provide more support and evidence for your position that Trump is actually proposing to end elections.

i never said trump is proposing to end elections. nor does the article. nor is that anything i believe. lol you got to that interpretation of trump's remarks all on your own. interesting.

what he's very obviously saying is that he will do everything in his power to obviate the need for christians to continue to vote. because -- in his vision for america -- christian fundamentalism will become immutably embedded in all of american civics.

given that 1) he's speaking to an audience of christian jihadists, and 2) he's literally already tried to overthrow a democratically elected administration, this interpretation seems pretty reasonable.
