how dare you

but for real yeah, most women will have an advantage there when it comes to being elected to office
some will have sordid details about their past come up, but like you said a lot lower chance of sexual misconduct/assault cases.


i think based on the slide rule definitions we're seeing most men can be accused on some pretense. all it takes is a drunken encounter in which the women claims to have been retroactively "too drunk to consent" and it's a spot u can't shake. Until we see a woman go down for this sexual misconduct it's going to be good for women politicians. We went from rape to alleged butt pinching being the bar in under a year.

^^Lousy president victim blaming all men for his terrible actions.



im pretty sure that combined with 'politician' is an oxymoron or unicorn


:D i just mean your typical plain vanilla female candidate. but as we've seen its better to be an unheard of candidate in the present climate than it is to have a 30 year life in the public eye.

this is why i call people cucks.
you want to gossip about me and make up shit instead of addressing what is said.


I addressed it. I stated that I don't think that a clearly biased website is a sensible place to get an education.
Nobody is making shit up. Just extrapolating from the available data, i.e. your posts.

Also - let's be fair mate. That's not why you call people cucks. You call people cucks because all your alt-right "libertarian" heroes overuse the word and you're easily impressionable.

Everyone is biased.
The piece is not originally from the website, as i said.

"With over a million copies sold, Economics in One Lesson is an essential guide to the basics of economic theory. A fundamental influence on modern libertarianism, Hazlitt defends capitalism and the free market from economic myths that persist to this day."
Now completely free and online, waiting to be read by inquiring minds.

If you want to better understand some concepts behind some conservative/libertarian positions its probably a good idea to read it.
I'm not saying its perfect or should be read uncritically, but i think there is serious merit to reading it and in many of the things that are said.

I thought you were a 400 IQ genius that is bringing our average IQ up ten points?
Why not take the intellectual route instead of dismissing it out of hand?
I totally understand that carrying on believing conservatives and libertarians are just bad people or ignorant hillybilly rednecks is an appealing competing option, but its not an intellectual one.

I'm trying to make an attempt to come to a better mutual understanding here. Not just trying to meme or issue a challenge.
I hope you can see that and hopefully check something like it out sometime. Same thing goes to anyone else here.
I think a better understanding of where we are coming from on the issues would be preferable to 'they just hate the poor/love the rich/want to kill everyone etc'

I don't have any alt-right heroes.
Using words that other people use is human nature.
Multiple reasons are behind most things we do, in my estimation.

not sure what to think of this (the 2027 part), on the other hand the 2019 one is pretty scary: this tax plan is strongly divisive

Ugh, Jordan Peterson.

The guy has some salient points every now and then but his entire understanding of modern (especially "post-modernism" and Marxism) philosophy is misguided or wrong :(

Even a broken clock yadda yadda yadda

so those who pay the most taxes get the largest cut, while those who barely pay any tax do not profit from that (what tax reduction would they even get?)
why is that mathematical fact so astonishing for people?

and that doesnt even include my own opinion

the fact that you cant cut the income taxes of people who dont pay any income taxes eludes some people

the chart is showing broad tax cuts effecting taxpayers across the board, until many of the cuts expire ten years from now.
the new tactic is to look at years after the provisions in the bill expire and shout 'see its only cuts for the rich!!'

Not 100% sure you understand the American tax system. Why would those paying nil or in a refund position due to low annual incomes get a tax cut..
