Maybe... but the ones most impacted, that can’t get off of it, will either be so impoverished that they’ll have a hard time getting an opportunity to vote, working so hard that they’ll have a hard time getting to the polls, or dead... and therefore can’t (generally) vote.
Maybe mix it with instant run-off voting?
That’s fair, too. I think it’s a doubling-down effect, pulling on adopted cultural stereotypes, then measuring them against ancestral cultural values, and finding them lacking. I can’t speak to the effects of being raised Muslim (or Taoist or Buddhist... more familiarity doesn’t mean a better understanding there),…
What about all the people that AREN’T saying that Doug Jones wants to kill babies?
I think they’re interrelated, which could lead to more interesting questions on how to address the problems. That is to say, my impression is that various sub-segments of at least the East Asian populations tend towards conservatism and nationalism as a result of the cultural ideals of conformity, with some notable…
Protected classes... arguably political affiliation in this case, in the US... though not elsewhere. I think the ACLU has argued such cases in the past...

While possibly true, ignorance isn’t inherited. Their kids and their outer social circles don’t deserve to be at risk because of their stubbornness.
Yes, things like bread cost 0.01% of your annual worth increase for a loaf, the billionaire only accrues the surplus value of his own work and the workers for the company accrue theirs to themselves. No one has to spend anything for basic needs or shared resources, so we can go to a straight flat tax.
The eyes... they best reflect the amount of No I have on this.
Or for those of us who can’t realistically pack up and move, just find some to reach out to for conversation. Finding a way to be sustained by righteous indignation can help power through...
Maybe as targets to mm... gentrify? I don’t know if there’s already a good equivalent word in common use...
Yep. Just like “One of the arguments for K9s is that they’re a ‘pain compliance’ tool: the bite is supposed to convince a suspect to hold still.” Dog is jerking my leg around, ripping it open, I’m supposed to hold still?
