What did they do to Vivek and Nicky? Both contested a free election and lost to one of the most popular Republican politicians since Reagan.

- Vivek is loved but is way too young and fresh to win. He is one for the future but it’s not his time now.

- Nicky is largely disliked by the Republican base for her hawkishness and Neo-conservatism. Many believe she is not even a true conservative.

Both cases had nothing to do with race. But liberals are genetically wired to read racism into every situation so… 🤷🏿‍♂️

LoLz! Trump is disparaging her heritage but it is me that is making it about race. Bwahahahahaha!

This is what I keep talking about. People who have 0 understanding of the things they speak, speak about them with such authority and are always wrong about them. The electoral college was a compromise to appease slave holding Southern States because the Southern states didn't want to give those slaves the right to vote and thus would be disadvantaged if it were a direct popular vote.

What is surprising (well not so given the self hating black people here), is that Africans in Nigeria are the ones applauding this system.

You didn’t say “you see what Trump did to her” you said “you see what THEY did to her”. Who are the they? You were insinuating that she lost the Iowa caucus because of her race. Which is not true.

If you can put emotions and personal issues aside for a few hours. You and I can debate this issue of if absolute majority elections are a good or bad idea not just in the US but in all diverse nations around the world.

Are you capable? I’m sure you will decline because you know I will flaw you.

This Georgia Fulton County DA called Fanni Willis. Is she a normal human being ?

How can a DA caught stealing and doing improper acts in office blame it on her race ? This race things is becoming a daily joke all over the world.

It’s not necessarily called “electoral college” but many countries use a system that attempts to take into consideration the diversity of the country and neutralize any ethnic imbalances.

I just said Nigeria is one such country.

Wasn't that 3/5 compromise later repealed after democrats desire to keep their slaves led to civil war?

IjeBos:


Let me fix that for you.

The 3/5 compromise was later effectively stricken when the 14th amendment was passed after those White Southerners' (from the old Democratic Party who moved to the current Republican party and vote for Trump) desire to keep slaves led to civil war.

You are conflating. The white southerners at that time were democrats.

First it was, she was dating a gang member(which was untrue), now this. I can't comment on all the facts until they come out but If you are minority who has ever worked in the US, disparate treatment based on race is not an uncommon occurrence no matter how up the food chain you are.

And honestly with all Republican wrapped BS, this new issue seems to make 0 sense. Granted, if she did give a position to an unqualified romantic partner it was stupid. But what is the argument? She hired someone unqualified to prosecute Trump, so he should be fired and replaced with someone more qualified? With all things Trump, it's always a lot of smears that make no sense to thinking people.

This is simple. Go to a Democratic and a Republican rally. Count the people waving Confederate flags. You know the flag of the people that wanted to keep slaves and was defeated. The Rally of the party with the most Confederate flags is the party of racists and the party with members who are aligned with those people that fought for slavery.

Hunter Biden gun was thrown into a dumper by his girlfriend, his late brother's wife. With his motion to dismiss the gun charges in process, the FBI revealed that upon retrieving the gun, the holster had a white powder which they confirmed was cocaine. Here is a person who lied on a federal form about not being on drugs when applying for a gun permit hiding his cocaine in a gun holster.
Joe Biden says his son is the finest gentleman he has ever known.Tell me that Joe Biden is mentally stable.

Jobless claims tumble to lowest level since 2022
The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits last week unexpectedly fell to the lowest level in 16 months, evidence that the labor market remains resilient even in the face of high interest rates and inflation.

Figures released Thursday by the Labor Department show initial claims for the week ending Jan. 13 plunged by 16,000 to 187,000, below the 2019 pre-pandemic average of 218,000 claims. It marks the lowest level for jobless claims since September 2022.

Continuing claims, filed by Americans who are consecutively receiving unemployment benefits, also fell to 1.8 million for the week ended Jan. 6, a decrease of 26,000 from the previous week.
