The catch 22 is the necessity of recognizing the physiological differences, often statistically, on one hand, with the importance of recognizing that not only might some assumed differences be exaggerated or off the mark entirely, or might not apply at all to an individual, on the other. Many are incapable of holding opposing thoughts in their heads. They like to generalize. Generalizing can still be an important tool, as long as it doesn't lead to mental blocks. There is a lot of truth to this post of course, along with the obvious bias. I'm not sure what OP list you are referring to Phi. My statement certainly wasn't limited to it in any case.

I knew nothing of the particular history. My comments were general. I sometimes object to the mods but I trust them. At least they explain what they do. I do like the positive side of the system. -

I've never been too keen on the neg reps, especially for newcomers that have no way of knowing how the rules are going to be interpreted (if they even read them...(put up your hand if not a mod and have read them all...a quick scan notwithstanding) Some grandmothers are fine with F-bombs, while others, not just grandmothers, might be offended by the language in your second paragraph, and be a little surprised it's actually a +1. Should they not be welcome here while they adjust? The mods can weed out the bad ones without our help...beyond reporting of some of the worst posts. Just my $0.02 -
Voted Harris. She's playing the hand Biden gave her pretty well so far IMO.

That doesn't hold much hope for humanity.

2024 Presidential Election: Who should replace Joe Biden?
J.C.MacSwell replied to Alex_Krycek's topic in Politics
I don't know much about him but I like what I'm hearing so far... ...I guess I need to tune in to Fox News so I will know what to really think...š Ol white guy though...obviously a DEI pick but at least they had the sense not to announce it as that this time... -

I wonder how that would go... "At least Trump does it himself and doesn't leave it to subordinates!" -

2024 Presidential Election: Who should replace Joe Biden?
J.C.MacSwell replied to Alex_Krycek's topic in Politics
Lol, just give the nomination to Niki Haley already...this is getting too easy... If you take Trump and the GOP since the last election and condense it...you've got the makings of a good Monty Python skit.... -

TFG or That Florida Guy? Either way, can the GOP win in 2024?

Seems Vance might turn out to be "too much of a good thing"? Trump may now be regretting his choice: https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-better-off-with-nikki-haley-jd-vance-bad-decision-2024-7 On one hand if Trump managed to get in I would certainly prefer Haley as VP (despite her taking a hit in my books for endorsing Trump). On the other I think Trump would be more likely to win with her on the ticket. I'd prefer he stick with Vance. Hopefully I won't regret it. -

āI refuse to take advantage of my relative youth, my sex, or my colourā¦but campaign on my purpose, commitment to democracy, and my record working with my President Joe Biden. I believe I am the best person for the job as President of the United States of Americaā¦especially given the alternative offered by my adversaryā¦democracyās adversary.ā Hopefully something along those lines ā¦Kamala Harris circa late 2024/near future -

The type of voter that wonāt vote for her because sheās a women or of colour would probably tend to vote for Trump anyway. She just needs to avoid the mistakes she made in 2020, stick to accurate accusations against Trump, get a good running mate that compliments herā¦and sheāll be fine. She is certainly more capable of defending her/Bidenās administration than Biden could have, and more than capable of attacking Trumpā¦thereās certainly plenty of ammo for her to do it honestly. As I said at the time, she should have been announced as the best available running mate. Sheāll need a good deflection for that and keep it about Trump. Sheās by far the better alternative. -
Assuming Trump survived, attendees at the RNC would all show up with holes in their headsā¦

The good news in my opinion is that itās probably a poor pick in terms of Trump electability. The bad news is that it probably wonāt matter and if anything he might be worse than Trump with regard to Ukraine.
