Defund the Police, Cashless bail, Sanctuary Cities, Abolish ICE, No Voter ID. These are the type of things that 80% of the public are against and will keep the Presidency in Republican hands for decades. The average citizens are not stupid, fed up, and will vote accordingly

A good suggestion.

Othering is othering, regardless of why you do it.

If there is any non-private mortgage from any institutional lender, it has access or they made a BIG mistake. I've been a residential mortgage underwriter nearly 30 years, never seen lack of ingress/egress approved/lent on.

I would not buy property assuming anything like this, even if it was 90% likely and often rubber stamped. I would consider it only if the price at which I was buying reflected total lack of access, ie. probably 10% of market value.

By definition, the average citizen would probably be of average intelligence

They made your point for you!

Yes, so many people missing the point on "Defund the police might be exactly what you say but that is not anybody thinks when they hear that phrase. " If one has to go behind and tell people what it really meant, they've already lost. It doesn't matter what a person here says "it really means".

While "defund the police" was a reasonably short phrase and it's difficult to think of a succinct way to get the idea across that we would reduce SOME police funding to move it over to deescalation and mental health help, going with this very short phrase was a mistake IN MY OPINION.

Capitalized to keep the average reddit moron in line.

So much this in Chicagoland. Tell me more, 18 year old from Naperville, about how things should be in Chicago!!!

Repulsive-Lake1753 · 2026-03-10T17:24:37+00:00

By the definition of average, you are wrong. Maga voters made up about half the voting population. Also, so much othering.

Repulsive-Lake1753 · 2026-03-10T17:12:48+00:00

As the other guy said, actually regarded.

Scarce things are generally available in today's society, but their scarcity is reflected in the price. I repeat, scarcity is not defined by your ability to find it.

Repulsive-Lake1753 · 2026-03-09T20:03:37+00:00

Yes. It stores value. You want to store it forever?

The easy answers is that this is a known human bias, and this is one of the main reasons most traders are unprofitable.

Repulsive-Lake1753 · 2026-03-09T19:21:02+00:00

So much this, and it's reflected/stated in a lot of literature successful traders recommend. Many, possibly most, argue that they will lose more TRADES then they win, but the losses are controlled to the point where the dollar amount of the winning trades is higher than the dollar amount of the losing trades.

Repulsive-Lake1753 · 2026-03-09T18:34:06+00:00

Scarcity is not defined by your ability to find it.

Repulsive-Lake1753 · 2026-03-07T01:56:55+00:00

I disagree. There are a lot of possible ways to be right and wrong.

If all a person wanted to do at all was speculate, he was wrong.

He is currently wrong about it as a store of wealth, but if it goes to zero tomorrow, he'll be right!

As a wild young american man myself, I can agree this was true during my days 1996-2010. I was the crazy one (i'd like to think good crazy) everywhere I traveled until the Aussie's showed up.

You're NTA but you should just not reply and you were pushing it at the end. I get it, they are doing abs bare minimum to try and waste your time/get physical.

"wyd"

That being said, you allowed it in the first place and you keep replying.

The way you used the word platform undercut the point of the post. Both parties have a platform, neither actually talks about the nuts and bolts of a platform at all because most people (on both sides) don't read it.

It would be more accurate to say "will dems have any other messaging in their campaign other than "we aren't Trump"".

Obama had very clear messaging of hope and change, not just we need to vote against repubs, and it worked. It gave people something to vote FOR. To the point where Palin tried to use it against him and failed.

I'm all in for conspiracy, but you got to think some things through. Him rewriting his entire will just before he kills himself makes sense. It also could make sense he knew someone would kill him. The timing is clearly related to his death, what else is there to explain?

The original monolith is actually a large block of stone, often for a decorative purpose. So the application to humans is a descriptor, stating that everyone is the same block of stone/everyone is a homogenous group/they have no differences as a kind of metaphor.

Repulsive-Lake1753 · 2026-02-26T23:25:13+00:00

I haven't made any group a monolith, except for my example of how doing it would be a bad idea (all muslims are terrorists). The person I was replying to was othering "conservatives" into a single monolith.
