Literally taking pride in your own ignorance.

Well, schools are still intensely segregated, life outcomes are highly tied to race, and there are deep, abiding racial disparities in education, income, and criminal justice that have been effectively unchanged for generations.

The popular vote matters when discussing the concept of realignment theory, which is how I applied it. Your pompous whining that I am not treating this internet comment board with the requisite seriousness is beneath contempt.

But realignment isn’t a causal agent, it is a descriptive tool that has been demonstrated of little analytic or predictive utility.

I don’t think that the electoral college will be removed, but until it has, massive disparities in representation will occur, as evidenced by the differences in the popular vote and election results.

You shouldn’t put your faith in magic. That is ridiculous.

The greatest possible act in pursuit of civic rights is to take money to sing for a fascist.

If you like this movie, you believe that other species are put on earth literally by god to be used and exploited by humans.

What a fucking joke. They were well aware that he wasn’t playing and the signed letter is, in this case, a pathetic technicality to scare players.

Someone who chooses a nationality should never have their patriotism questioned without evidence by someone who was just shat out there.
