Good point, Jimmy. Next time I think about posting something, I'll be sure to ask myself whether its less ridiculous than eating pets. If so, I'll just move on. I guess I didn't get the memo about eating pets being the gold standard.
If you find politics annoying and patronizing, why pay attention to that part. "Pandering" is the part of politics. Complaining about "pandering" is really just a form of special pleading in my view because when politicians make promises one favors, there is no complaining about "pandering".
As long as there are States that fail to legalize it, weed growers will be fine.
That’s forgivable - it is a new standard after all. I wish the manchild would quit lowering the bar.
I expect pandering in a political campaign. Its part of the process, I agree, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. What's bothersome to me in this particular case, is how she apparently did not understand how badly failing she was with black men until just a matter of days ago, while the decline has been happening for several years now. Have you seen the numbers showing the decline in support since Obama was running the first time? Its huge. Now she is pulling out all the stops with less than a month to go, by bringing up all these policy proposals targeted toward black men. She even brought in Obama just last week to shame "the brothers" into supporting KH. To me, it says something about her lack of foresight and strategy that she is just now is paying attention to it, when its probably too late to make a difference.
Failing? No. I think she was surprised to discover there was still some upside for her there.
Consider yourself informed.
Well, first of all we were talking black men, not black men AND women, which is what your infograph shows. Failing was probably not the best word choice, though. Yes, the majority of black men are still favoring the Democrat ticket, but those percentages have been heading down rather drastically over the last 10+ years. In a close race like this one seems to be, such a loss in voter support can be the difference between winning and losing.
You mean George Wallace, the Democrat or are you thinking of some other Wallace? Your point would be better made if you cited a similar Republican racist instead.
Looks like red herring is on the lunch menu today.
The difference here kinda explains why I've become a straight ticket Democrat voter, despite not being fond of a ton of their policies.
Stats for black men are shown separately and included.
Yes.
Should public employees and officials be allowed to make political statements? They're supposed to be serving the public, the entire public. I'd even go so far as to say they shouldn't even be eligible to vote while in office or as an employee serving the public. Things would be a lot more peaceful and agreeable.
That would certainly make political races with incumbents pretty interesting. But I don't think violating their fundamental right to vote or their 1st amendment rights is a good idea.
