They weren't protesting voting though (but I'm sure you already know that).

I'm a Republican I'll admit it. I don't believe in God. I think people should be able to take whatever drugs they want. I think there should be a basic safety net and what we have now isn't doing it. I believe in evoluti

I think many people are still failing to see the real split. The split is not "Democrat VS Republican". That always was a bit of an artificial construct, at least within my living memory. There would be debates, at the end everyon

He's not off to a good start. It's not even a "fact" that he is president elect yet.

Yes that is the real problem. Issues are tied together (if we build a new road there isn't money for a new school or if we build a new road then we have ongoing maintenance outlay and some people's homes get demolished).

Right I got that. My point is many nations ban drugs. In fact they pretty much all do at some level. Meaning there are other reasons besides racism and thus that is likely not the primary reason like this silly "Nixon" comment I s

True, but entirely irrelevant to the point being made. Did you not read the post you respond to or are you just engaged in shallow partisan trolling? I can't decide. If you'd like to ignore my point it's fine. But it's h

Who said anything about Republicans? I specifically mention the Iraq war. No, that's not what media has been doing. And these are the results we get. This isn't a partisan statement but a simple statement of cause and effect.

Even worse the people have been watching the media fibbing to them nonstop for 20+ years, since Iraq at least. This is how you get people like Alex Jones. People see the lie, start looking for the truth and here is guy saying "I'l

"The war on drugs started for a single function" Really? China's banning of Opium was because of racism? There were real concerns about drugs (and alcohol see: prohibition). That is the main reason it happened. Disenfranchisi

I have little doubt they will be worse. The process isn't over yet (AP News opinion withstanding) but this wasn't really a victory for Democrats at all in my opinion assuming the probable happens. The polls at minimum were very wr

Under Biden will probably be similar to under Obama. In other words no.

Things go too far one way, then they go too far the other way, finally balance becomes closer.

All 4 of those state will still be red. We aren't talking about a population altering number of people.

I don't think so. If anything there will be more arable land and more rain in much of the world. Additionally many crop plants grow faster with increased C02 (which is why marijuana grow ops put CO2 in the chambers of course). It also

Eastern Wyoming is harsh, windy and exactly like you say. The I-80 corridor is a wind tunnel. Cheyenne is actually a nice town in my opinion and an hour from Denver. It might not be right for a lot of HN people but I like the town. The surr

I'm not sure that's entirely true. What wealth exactly is exported from urban centers to small towns and rural communities? Tax revenue? Ya likely that. Otherwise I'd argue the reverse. Banking, media, software etc. seem to e

And yet, here you are using it to express that sentiment. Kind of a catch 22 or strange irony about this, but I suppose that is true of the entire philosophical viewpoint being expressed.

Perhaps one of the biggest risks to science is that it ceases to actually be "science" i.e the scientific method and way of thinking and body knowledge and instead becomes a political tool or excuse for various forms of social con

Other then impacting the human made reservoir (and roads and other structures) I don't know that it was a real problem at all (for the natural world), you may have a point. The erosion was quite heavy though as the fires were followed
