I agree. Most of the Muslims that I know are the same. They also come from wealthy families, so that might influence their politics a bit as well.

I do completely, no worries :)

Cool. As long as you understand that there are also Muslims that vote R (especially in a conservative area), we’re good.

Context: I’m a 32-year-old observant Muslim woman of Pakistani origin who grew up in Georgia.

For sure - all the muslims i know lean Democrat.

I never said anything of the sort. I said that I, personally, don’t know any Muslims that vote Democrat, and I know many Muslims. My statement was a retort to the comment that stated Ms. Ahmed was probably the only member of a Muslim Republican organization.

It’s never that simple, but it’s also not that complicated. If a certain ideology is most important to that person, they’ll tend to vote for the side that shares said ideology.

thumb in, middle knuckle out ? ;)

I would humbly suggest you’re reading into it. She had her head up her ass and was nasty towards other competitors. Sort of being the female counterpart of Conor McGregor. Compare that with Holm, who several times has shown that once the fight is done, the fight is done, and stands by to check on her competitor’s…

I'm actually glad Ronda lost, this way we will have more women MMA celebrities and not just reduce women MMA to her.

Completely. You go big or go home when Lisa Frank is involved

When I say she was unprepared, I mostly mean she was poorly prepared (I think she was certainly unprepared mentally to face a challenger like Holm, though). Her defense was atrocious, she had no real plan for countering Holm’s reach advantage, her attacks exposed her over and over, and she had no change up prepared…

I can’t stop watching this reaction video, which pretty much sums up my feelings about the whole thing.

While we can, in hindsight, talk about how bad Ronda looked, a lot of hardcore fans who train have talked about the gaps in Ronda’s game in the past. Of course, it never meant anything because in order to beat her, you still had to fight a perfect fight. One with a solid game plan to circle out of her rushes, be…

Yep. The hype went to her head, she tried to outbox a boxing champ, and as a result Holm wound up making Ronda look... well, the way Ronda usually makes her opponents look.

I wonder if that little “fist on the outside” skirmish at the weigh in actually got in her head

She didn’t look unprepared: she looked like she was avoiding grappling and trying to beat Holm on her own level (i.e. pure boxing) and got her ass handed to her because Holm is a fucking boxing champ.

Rousey was just a mess last night. She thought she outbox one of the greatest female boxers ever, which, come on. Rousey is a skilled grappler and a killer judoka. Boxing is absolutely not in her wheelhouse.

In elementary school, I got into a knock down drag out with a *Monica* and we were suspended for 3 days. She split my lip and I hauled a chunk of hair out. Hilariously, the fight was over Lisa Frank Trapper Keepers.
