This movie is centred on the idea that living creatures exist purely so God can allow humans to self-actualise. It is an incredibly shitty sentiment and this movie deserves to fucking die.

This comment is so fucking ignorant. People of colour and women literally had to riot to get even minimal representation within the Democratic Party. Craft unions literally maintained segregation until the seventies and only allowed black and latinx members when forced by courts. This doesn’t even get into how New…

Really, because I hear a lot of whining from people who never fucking listen about having to make space for voices that have been so often silenced.

You seem incredibly tedious.

That something is your idiocy. It is incurable.

You think Jim Crow ended in the 1890s. 🙄

Name them.

Jim Crow is a really specific and unique set of policies that you seem wholly ignorant of, racist.

So you can’t distinguish between slavery and Jim Crow, the specific form of post-slavery government segregation that did not occur in other countries in the Americas? And yet you call me ignorant?

Literally every NBA team plays within the city limits of their team but the Spurs, who are just adjacent. The league’s audience is far younger and more ethnically diverse than the NFL’s, as well as lower income. Your impression is definitely correct.

Literally taking pride in your own ignorance.

No, and to read into what I wrote that I don’t believe discrimination exists for other people of colour is either moronic beyond measure or entirely disengenuous.

Yeah, you are a fucking patriot because you watched a widely disseminated speech with no direct policy implications on the TV. What moral uprightness, demonstrating how crucial (and morally brave you are) worshipping the least important aspects of the presidential handover.

Except that for many, even after the Obama administration, life is considerably worse and for many vulnerable populations, any gains are subject to presidential whim. Frankly, the fucking privilege you emit here is disgusting. Oh boy, white middle class fucks will endure a bad presidency! How remarkable! How…

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.

No, because it then was used to preserve first Reconstruction, then Jim Crow, and subsequently the racial ordering that has lingered through Jim Crow, ultimately blunting significant aspects of the struggle of the civil rights movement.

Yes, it suggests that geographical migration has disadvantaged Democrats, as well as the overall aging of the electorate.
