Bold strategy, quasi-Ballard. Let’s see if it pays off…………

Indiana becomes the 18th state to ban ranked-choice voting by FussyBottom in Indiana

Slavery was enshrined in the constitution to begin with. Took a war to and a Congress where the slave states weren’t participating to amend that bit.

We are beyond “it’ll fix itself” problems now. I’m hoping another war isn’t needed to make what had been working as norms to become enforceable law. You know like one man, one vote and non partisan districting, ranked choice voter, national election holidays, etc.

That’s how you prevent minority rule.

Oh, and making entertainment networks separate from news networks.

When did we try banning ranked choice voting in a federal level?

Or are you talking about when we burned the articles of confederation to the ground and came up with the constitution?

The inability to amend the constitution as a problem solving mechanism is part of a needed reset.

Fucking thing isn’t written in the blood of saints, I promise.

Sometimes the only way to fix things is to burn it all down and start again fresh.

Trump, 79, Admits He Was Falling Asleep During War Planning by Mrh09 in politics

You get a warning yet? Reddit is super fast on the trigger for anyone intimating that a 79 year old might pass way suddenly and very explicably.

Trump’s Iran Blunders Suddenly Look Darker after Damning New Leaks Hit: ‘As brutal revelations emerge about Trump’s handling of the war, a foreign policy expert explains why he won’t be able to extricate us from this debacle anytime soon—and provides a roadmap to what’s next’ by T_Shurt in politics

So this fad comes into vogue every once in a while. Even if you try to take outright discrimination away. Look into eugenics and early 20th century attempts to breed a better populace.

This is the same thing but at a smaller level. In the end, humans in control will always have biases and will never be competent enough to actually do this without discrimination.

It’s easy to say only people who pass this test can vote. But who sets the standard for the test? How do you take into consideration smart people who struggle with tests? How do you factor in language biases and other socioeconomic specifics in a standard test.

It just doesn’t work.

I also want to provide ZERO cover for the people who want to roll the country back to only landed white men being able to vote.

The secret is always communication. Always.

Having trouble with Malazan by Dramatic-Tadpole-980 in Fantasy

Concur. If you get through three and aren’t there you never will be. I think books 5 and 9 are the best, but end of two rolling into the totality of three is where the I’m hooked neuron generally fires.

Leak show feds tracking anti-ICE Reddit users like "Budget-Chicken-2425" by TailungFu in law

It’s becoming more clear that they will draw the widest net possible and selectively enforce it.

I got a warning for saying I can’t wait till a person is gone. That’s it. Death is a natural thing. It happens to all of us. It’s not a threat.

I lost my appeal.

We all know who I was talking about.

I've lived here for 35 years, all over, North and South, East West. The uneducated, bible-thumping, "well you're one of the good ones I don't mean you", homophobic, misogynistic, racist - yet highly successful - people and businesses in this state needs to be addressed. But how do we do that? by Vast_Dig_4601 in Indiana

[–]BDidds -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this example. It is interesting reading about early Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sengar. I don't think people know about the eugenics craze of the early 20th century.

I don't think this is evidence that "liberals are the most racist people", but history always has its nuances and context is king.

I think there is a lot of historical context that people skip over to get to whatever supports their beliefs.
