It’s like asking the common folk, “Ya got any complaints?” Find the cat who doesn’t.

"Because electing and reelecting an irrefutable racist is an act of racism in and of itself, regardless of one’s priorities or intent."

I assume you disagree?

No offense flower, but the statement applies equally to you Jill Stein voters.

That’s not the point in which I was focused.

The article isn’t terribly logical. He’s trying for something he can only reach by rhetoric, and not proofs. It’s also got a clickbait title.

And I hate that stupid statistic about whether America is on the right track. It’s the worst polling question ever written, as that Dailybeast article explains (with data and logic).

I think your problem there is with the American public, not with the questions they get asked.

Both. Dumb question asked to a lot of dumb people.

Who doesn’t think that in some regard the country is on the wrong track? You have to go issue by issue. On some issues, it’s on the wrong track. On others, it’s on the right track. That’s always been the case and always will be.

How come the media is always talking about Democrats may lose votes by standing up to Trump's racism, but not how Trump may lose votes by being a racist?

Where is that being said?

Just realized that Congresswomen Tlaib represents the parts of Detroit that have become heavily gentrified over the past years, meaning she didn't move to where white people were born, it's sort of the other way around.

Because it didn't hurt him last time.

Must be tough for you to move into parts of the world where you can't just delete everything that bothers you?
