It's very much a purple district (went to Obama in 2012)... but the plus side is that it gives all sorts of fun ammo to Minnesota Dems looking to twist the knife on their counterparts this year. MNGOP Deputy Chair Chris Fields, in February posted:Provocative comments like that demonstrate ignorance, a lack of sensitivity, and they exacerbate the racial divisions in America[, and] are contradictory to the values Republicans share and principles the party was founded upon MNGOP Deputy Chair Chris Fields, in August posted:During our endorsement process, Republican activists concluded Jason Lewis is uniquely qualified to fight for working families and seniors. I wholeheartedly stand by their decision without reservation. I firmly believe the District does not need Angie Craig, an out of touch liberal who will only stand with Hillary Clinton. Minnesotans need Jason Lewis because he will always stand with Minnesotans! Will the last one with a spine please turn off the lights on the way out?

Grouchio posted:Somehow, living in a metropolitan area in Maine with a considerable population of Somali immigrants (both Black and Muslim) that passes through years without a racist shooting incident - suddenly feels very comfortable (in terms of multiculturalism) compared to the frequent bullshit going on in the south and midwest right now. That's because white people in Maine are still too much in shock at seeing a black person in the flesh they haven't fallen back on their natural impulse yet.

Hahaha, he will always stand with Minnesotans, but if the market dictates that doesn't mean he'd object to enslaving them.

It's not a pro-slavery argument, it's an anti-gay marriage argument. I've seen the same thing used against abortion. It's saying you can't stand by and let gays get married just like you can't stand by and let slavery happen. I mean he's still human filth but he's not (openly) pro-slavery.

No, read the whole article. He's your standard lost cause "Lincoln was in the wrong for invading the Confederacy because they asserted their states rights!" dipshit. He would be totally fine with slavery still existing.

KiteAuraan posted:I honestly don't know how Phoenix has avoided anything going down. Even our recent big BLM marches that went "bad" weren't anything to write home about compared to other large cities. Because it's too loving hot out for things to go really really bad Can you imagine setting poo poo on fire when it's 120 out, with a low of 110? Even the other protestors would be like "dude what the gently caress are you thinking, it's hot enough out here and you want to make it hotter? Put the lighter down you dumbfuck."

I've noticed that there's billboards from both Castle megastore and Hustler in Phoenix. Hustler's slogan is "Summer just got hotter" Castle's is "If you can't stand the heat, stay in the bedroom." I don't know about anyone else, but when I see "Summer just got hotter" I'm like "gently caress no!" Edit: Thought this was the Phoenix thread. Both stores sell lingerie and other stuff Hustler is a newcomer in the area, they just opened a new store. Castle has been around for a long time.

Trump has only one debate strategy, stick to the script, stay aloof, and harp on Benghazi. As long as he isn't entertaining, viewership won't be there and damage can be somewhat mitigated. He is woefully unprepared to spar on national policy or geo-political intricacies. I don't think anyone sees the debates as a chance for him to gain ground.

^It's Milwaukee, Chicago, or Detroit, depending on the metrics you use, but those three are always the top three. Epic High Five posted:Indianapolis is pretty red lined in my opinion. Is anybody familiar enough with both cities to tell me how Milwaukee ranks in terms of Indianapolises so I have a reference as to how segregated it is? Googling around various studies and lists it looks like Milwaukee is anywhere from ~30% more to twice as segregated as Indy, depending on how exactly you measure segregation. FWIW, Indy is a bit worse than average nationally, which makes it not actually all that bad by Rust Belt standards. Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and Cleveland wreck the hell out of that curve. Theris fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Aug 14, 2016 |

Living within walking distance of 8 Mile, the best way to explain it is inhabited islands of activity among a sea of an abandoned urban hellscape that you occasionally see as you pass it on the freeway.

I know so many people that GTFO of Milwaukee and moved to the northern suburbs of Chicago for that reason. Honestly, broken windows theory on paper (and the implementation that NYC used) seems racist as gently caress, but then you see what it's actually addressing and attempting to prevent happening in the case of Milwaukee and Detroit, and it makes you say "I get it, but y'all still racist as gently caress, but I get it"

I'm 27 ; I voted in 2008 and 2012 , but ignored everything else because lol, Texas gerrymander, and showing up for the presidential vote was just my way of spitting at the GOP for hatreds sake. Then I voted in 2014 because my sisters begged me to vote for Wendy Davis , and 2015 after goons convinced me that so few people vote in off years that it really did matter.
