Too many people think anything they don’t immediately understand means the other person’s intelligence has to be the problem…
It’s usually the opposite, but it’s not just a problem for trumpets.
Very few people actually ask questions anymore in an attempt to understand others, they just care if it agrees or disagree with their own opinions.
I don’t think you know what “bad faith” means…
But you’ll have to find someone else to answer your questions now.
Little advice since you just left reddit 12 hours ago, becareful burning bridges here, there’s not a lot of people on here willing to help others understand things.
You’re gonna run out quickly at this pace.
They specifically mentioned the 45k primary ballots in Louisiana
So that’s not the main topic…
They just mentioned it when talking about the larger issue…
Like, if someone said Hitler was one of the worst people to ever lived, and he was a bad painter…
Would you think the reason hitler was one of the worst people is be ause he was a bad painter?
This is a bigger problem than any one topic, this is a fundental logic flaw
They’re likely talking about the redistricting…
If you think they’re talking about the 45k primary ballots that would be recast, I’d love a link.
But again, I think you’re talking about something different than the article you’re commenting on right now
Weird…
You think the way to get someone to comment about something less…
Is to reply to them about it?
Yeah bud, facts and/or logic isn’t going to help.
I’m gonna block you now, if you want to keep replying me, feel free.
No…
I’m explaining that you don’t understand what the article you’re commenting on and you’re being very aggressive about it for some reason.
For some reason there’s been a steady stream of new accounts like yours accusing me of “being a dick” for explaining things logically.
They redistricted to dilute the Black vote…
That is not what the headline is referring to with the 45k number…
That is the amount of votes that were already cast in a primary for the old maps…
And those ballots are discarded, and those voters will vote in two months in the districts they’re no in.
What you’re talking about isn’t what the article you’re commenting on is about buddy.
“But voting was already happening,” Vega said, cutting Landry off. “As we sit here right now, more than 45,000 ballots have been returned. What happens to those?”
In the previous article linked earlier, it says the primary will be in July, it’s confusing because in this article he jumps straight to talking about the general
Does it make sense now?
Just the 30+ point difference…
But you’ll have to find someone else to answer your questions now, best of luck
What shouldn’t be happening is the SC decision…
That should be the focus, not headlines that are basically lies to muddy the water and get people confused and disorganized instead of focused on the real problem…
But why would billionaire owned media want the people united and focused on real problems?
You’re saying, and have repeated it over and over, that race based gerrymandering doesn’t matter
Nope.
The decision is completely different.
What would be worse, is if they said those 45k already voted and counting them under the new map even if that meant the candidates that were voted for by African Americans in those two districts obviously can’t run in every district that their voters are now in…
That would be bad.
I’m not sure why you’re so upset about this instead of waiting to see if there was something you were missing.
Does it make sense now?
Because if you still have questions and ask them the same way, Im probably just going to never attempt to help you again
So since those 45,000 aren’t going to get representation
You didn’t read the article…
And neither did anyone who upvoted you, which is even more depressing
Why do you think a primary moving back two months is a big deal?
And how can those 45k ballots be used when some of the districts have changed?
I’m trying to figure out if I’m missing something, or everyone else is…
So…
That was 45k primary ballots, for districts that aren’t the same as when they were sent out…
And a new primary with the actual districts will happen in July?
That legitimately isn’t a big deal unless I’m missing something here.
And progressive Dems are likely to do better after another two months of shit going to hell anyways.
Like, I hate to say it, but if you read more than just a headline I really don’t see how this is a big deal.
I 100% get not committing to run right now, it would be stupid to do so.
“In this op-ed that Bezos paid for in The Washington Post, there was a veiled threat — it was the elite saying if you want this job, you just stepped out of line,” said Ocasio-Cortez. “What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.”
But I sure as fuck hope she realizes becoming president is our best shot at that.
Shed drive down ballot races like Obama did, but isn’t as cocky and obsessed with personal power to ignore the DNC after winning like Obama did. Shed name a progressive chair.
Bringing in a wave of progressives and putting the party firmly on the progressive side of the divide is absolutely the biggest thing she (or anyone) can do to get us single payer healthcare.
So like I said, hopefully she’s planning to run, just smart enough to not say it yet.
How the actual fuck do you think I’m the one that needs anything explained?
Every single comment you’ve been wrong…
I’m sorry, I can’t deal with this shit, like I said, it’s too frustrating and waaaaay too depressing.
I hope someone with more patience helps, if not, Reading Rainbow is still effective, and that way personality won’t negatively effect how long a helper hangs out with you.
It’s because we gave the money to babies so the old people didn’t get p‑‑‑ed,” Cruz said.
Literally the entire point the entire conversation of “trump accounts” is they were started at birth…
She is not contributing regularly to it before she is 14, her parents are
Rather than invest in your own retirement (because you know it won’t happen) they want parents to start in eatment accounts for their children at birth and save for their retirement.
How the fuck can people both not remember this from previous news and not be able to figure it out from the context? One or the other should work for anyone, hell everyone should be able to do both, this is not difficult.
I keep hearing about the literacy crisis, is this that?
Quick edit:
Like, not just that you misunderstood it, but that presumably at least 5 other people did…
I legitimately thought just quoting the context would make it obvious, but seemingly no one got it because I didn’t explicitly type it out …
It’s just fucking depressing man
You might not be right, but you’re confident, which is something…
How did we get it done this time? It’s because we gave the money to babies so the old people didn’t get p‑‑‑ed,” Cruz said.
"But babies grow up,” he pointed out.
“That little girl who is born this year, she’s going to be 70, and the math is if you contribute regularly to it, by the time she’s 18, she’ll have $170,000 in that account. By the time she’s 35, she’ll have $700,000 in that account,” Cruz added.
Fair warning, with a tone like that I almost didn’t bother helping you.
I legitimately didn’t read the article first tho, because I’ve heard about this months ago and remember things.
They’re just desperate to keep people investing into the system.
They want steady, never ending capital injection into the market, people paying zero attention and just using an index.
That makes it easy for them to grift with insider trading.
If only the wealthy bought stocks, who would they make money off of?
Either you made a lot of typos, or you think 14+4=70…
Even then, these “investment accounts” are supposed to start at birth, so even if your math was right, still wildly off.
Like, it’s still a grift, but I have no idea where you got those numbers
Because his son in law and Bibi told trump Iran is going to nuke him, so that’s what he’s scared of short term.
If he was scared most in the short term by the masses rising up and overthrowing the oligarch class due to unsurvivable wealth inequality…
He’d fucking care about our financial situations more than anything else.
He’s a demented old asshole, he can only be afraid of one thing at a time. It’s not hard to manipulate someone like that, just gotta give them something to be afraid of, lots of people do it to trump every day already.
