The red herring is the slavery argument your political masters have fed you to keep you happily allowing massive power consolidation to an abusive apparatus.

Sure, that's totally fair. I don't even particularly like the electoral college system personally.

Your explanation of your thought process is appreciated, but no amount of your insistence that your opinion is the only acceptable one makes it so.

That wasn't the point of my question. I'm well aware complaining works, but I often do not understand why people feel the need to complain in the first place, particularly in situations such as this when the complaints are literal

Ahh, is it time to cry about the electoral college again? I suppose if no one knew going in that it was the way things were done, I'd care. Since everyone knew, it's just the worst kind of monday-morning quarterbacking. The thorou

Here's Nate Silver today trying to explain trump: > America hasn’t put its demons — including racism, anti-Semitism and misogyny — behind it. White people still make up the vast majority of the electorate, particularly when consider

What emotion is it that makes people feel such a deep need to complain that everything isn't made specifically to meet their needs?

There is no limit to the stupid shit people like to say when their political opinions aren't accepted as gospel by others.

Restating an incorrect position won't make it true.

Are we pretending trump didn't insult every opponent in his campaign regardless of gender, or are we pretending it's worse because Hillary is a woman? I'm never sure what to pretend politically.

I'm not sure you understand the American mindset terribly well. Party loyalty didn't play much of a role here.

Do you have examples of the dirt that wouldn't have been directed at a man? I paid a lot of attention to this election cycle and I must have missed it.

Saying that genetically modified agricultural product are useless is objectively a lie. Saying they are potentially harmful is a weasel accusation. The last bit is just an straight insult. Did you have a point to the rant that you forgot to

It's easy to decide that things you don't understand enough to have reasonable opinions on are unreasonable, but it's not terribly useful to actually exploring the real-world problems. I admit, I am assuming you don't kn

There are no victims in engineering. Such phraseology should be saved for disciplines where emotion trumps reason, like politics.

The charitable response is that it was a metaphor. I would assume you understood that but it would mean you intentionally posted that terrible half-pun. I'd rather assume you just didn't realize it was a metaphor in the first plac
