Write in campaign is hard. You need low knowledge voters to put you over the top and a write in campaign requires the opposite of low knowledge voters

I just don’t buy the argument that “it is something that can totally happen” yet no one knows anyone else that got a Nazi tattoo.

Really? You think Nazi tattoos are relatable? I don’t know anyone who has a Nazi tattoo.

I think Trump would have the same reaction if it was darts. It isn’t soccer itself but America winning.

I don’t think the left views cops as bastards because police mistreat the left. Instead, it is hatred of hierarchies. Thus, ACAB because cops are part of the hierarchy.
In contrast, the right can view cops as an instrument.

To me, it reads as emotionally stable. You want a good life for your daughter and part of that is her marrying a good man. In return, you get grandkids.

Neither did I. I responded to the post with a claim (supported by evidence) that was germane to the post.

I’m not sure the U.S. would really be the favorite to win baseball. Both DR and Japan have great programs with a lot of talent.
You also have Venezuela, Korea, and other LATAM teams of varying quality.

I’m not sure it’s a reasonable argument now. If courts shut down probes and other parties couldn’t compel info, why would we expect data six years later to shed light?
One area where an investigation went forward (ie Georgia) significantly increases the likelihood that something fishy happened in Georgia.

Explain how “I hate western people” isn’t waging the cultural war if my claim that third worlders commit crime at higher rates / police fear to arrest them is waging the culture war?

Most states have a Romeo and Juliet exception to the age of consent being 18 whereby if the difference in the age of the lovers is a small number the age of consent doesn’t matter. This suggests the Overton window is a bit nuanced.
That is, we don’t want to send high school boyfriends to jail for having sex with their slightly younger high school girlfriends even if ideally we don’t want them having sex.

I have girls but they are still young. I know fathers of girls who are older. His daughters asked what he wanted for Father’s Day. He asked them to come to church once a month. His reasoning, in part, was that it would be much better to meet a culturally compatible eligible bachelor at church compared to online dating.
So count one datapoint as inconsistent with your claim.

This is something that’s annoyed me about international competitions lately (eg Olympics). There is a certain level of mercenary happening all of the time that cheapens the national element.

You recently said something along the lines of “I like the west except its people”

Third world people do in fact commit crimes at higher rates compared to natives. Do you disagree?
-
Two tier policing in the UK has been noted for awhile. This is yet another example.
Do you disagree?

I have some sympathy for cops who have to deal with the George Floyds of the world.
But it isn’t unthinking deference. Sometimes the cops fuck up. Moreover, in the UK it seems like the cops are entirely the enemies of the people.

I think the defense solicitor in front of a jury has a relatively easy job. Here was a guy who was just attacked by a group. He is getting up from that attack and someone rushes him and shoves him into a wall. He instinctively defends himself but stops once when he realizes it was a cop.

That’s even worse. Sorry we imported a bunch of third world people who commit violence at higher rates. Besides having to live with that, we will arrest you when they attack you because it’s much easier to arrest you who won’t resist too much whereas they might heavily resist.
You said: Sailer plays to his audience, which is very much inclined to frame everything as racialist spoils systems. He’s going to ascribe that to the Democrats no matter what they say.
The last sentence implies that the democrats don’t do racial spoils systems.
But they do. What do you think supporting affirmative action is? Or saying you will pick a certain color for scotus or VP? Why defend minority majority districts? There use euphemisms but at its core it is racial spoils
