The right to vote, given that the republican forerunner is seeking to be a dictator.
/u/blamemeta, are you going to call this out for treating leftists as a monolith, or will the double standard continue?

It's not a lie. Trump straight up said he'd be a dictator. He said it on national television. Here is him doubling down on it:

And evidently he is quite fond of Hitler:
In his new book The Return of Great Powers, which comes out Tuesday, reporter Jim Sciutto interviews several of Trump’s former advisers. All of them stressed that Trump regularly lavished praise on authoritarian leaders around the world, calling Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán “fantastic,” Chinese President Xi Jinping “brilliant,” and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un an “OK guy.”
Horrifyingly, Trump also said, “Well, but Hitler did some good things,” according to John Kelly, who served as White House chief of staff from 2017 to 2019.
“I said, ‘Well, what?’ And he said, ‘Well, [Hitler] rebuilt the economy.’ But what did he do with that rebuilt economy? He turned it against his own people and against the world. And I said, ‘Sir, you can never say anything good about the guy. Nothing,’” Kelly told Sciutto. “I mean, Mussolini was a great guy in comparison.”
Kelly said that Trump also praised Hitler for achieving complete loyalty from senior Nazi officials—and Trump expected similar fealty from the retired generals he brought on to his cabinet.
“He would ask about the loyalty issues and about how, when I pointed out to him the German generals as a group were not loyal to him, and in fact tried to assassinate him a few times, and he didn’t know that,” Kelly said. “He truly believed, when he brought us generals in, that we would be loyal—that we would do anything he wanted us to do.”

Like I said in the other thread, I’d rather vote for Biden’s dead corpse and hear fox news bitch about him being sleepy for 4 years than have a dictator.
Those are battle flags. That isn’t the confederate flag.
colloquial - used in ordinary or familiar conversation; not formal or literary
It is the confederate flag. You know exactly what they meant. Doing an "um achktually" doesn't rebut their point.
You tried to pass off studies of legal immigrats as illegal immigrants, got caught and now demand that I prove that they are different because you know you can’t find any studies to support that claim.
Go learn what a null hypothesis is and come back to me.
Are you claiming legals were misidentified as illegals?
No. I'm saying they're only giving the immigrants the "counting prisoners" treatment. They're not treating immigrants and citizens equally in their "analysis".
Republicans DESTROYED with only a single sentance by criitz.
I'd rather vote for Biden’s dead corpse and hear fox news bitch about him being sleepy for 4 years than have a dictator.
"Trump is a convicted rapist" and "Trump is a rapist" are not the same.
He wasn't convicted due to the statute of limitations (~12 years for rape). We don't need to have a conviction to know he is a rapist.
So quit the bullshit.
Agreed. It is way past time to reform our electoral system to give third parties a chance through star and approval voting. And the bullshit that happens with the primaries being run however the parties like needs to end.
The average rural voter was already voting to ban drag.
The fence sitters seeing a drag performer being humanized is good enough for me.
He did way fucking more than repeating a lie.
You tried to pass of studies on immigrant crime rates as illegal immigrant crime studies and got caught.
Are you going to catch me breathing next? Like I already said, this point is irrelevant, as you have yet to prove a difference in rates between immigrants and undocumented immigrants.
Adding prisoners to the rate that were not added initially. They’re correcting the rate.
No, they're adding prisoners to the rate only for one group. They're fucking up the numbers.
Texas’ crime data only counts illegal aliens who have already been caught and fingerprinted by the Department of Homeland Security.
So what?
You couldn’t provide sources to back up your claim now you make new claims and instead of backing them up you ask that I do.
No, you made an implicit claim that there is a difference in crime rates between immigrants and undocumented immigrants. Support it.
illegals commit murders at a 30% higher rate then the rest of the population. 4 of your 5 studies showed legal immigrants had lower crime rates than the rest of the population.

Crazy, it's almost like adding prisoners to the count increases the rates. Go with something peer reviewed next time.
Please show me where I said we should be racially profiling people at airports, invading foreign countries, forcibly converting people to christianity, and killing civilians.
The PNAS study you cited has the same flaw, it’s using Texas data for illegal immigrant status.
How is that a flaw? Texas is very much involved in this issue.
... study about immigration and crime not illegal immigration
Prove to me that there any significant difference in crime rates between documented immigrants and undocumented immigrants (beyond the occasional misdemeanor of illegal entry that half the time isn't even always a part of this).
Not a troll. It is just plainly obvious that if you didn't care, you wouldn't be responding to this.
This comment chain wasn't intended to discuss the article. It is to discuss the pervasive shittyness of the sources around here. My other comment in this thread was for the article itself.
Nor should it be. Sweden doesn’t tax wealth.
Wealth is always revelant. If the rich hoarding all the wealth, then the rest of us starve/become homeless/lose our possessions/etc.
If Bezos went BK, Do you think we should give a refund when his stock goes down in value?
Stocks should exist in the first place. They only serve to distribute wealth to the rich, and to those who spend their lives making speculative investments (ie producing nothing of value, and siphoning wealth from the economy).
Today's dismissive label of the day from momo is "fucking hacks", how fun!
New York wastes $150 million
The massive increase coincided with just a two percent decrease in serious crime.
Yet another reason why Mike Johnson is a terrible house speaker: "Mike Johnson fundraising email warns God may punish U.S. for 'collective sins'"
"Let’s face it- we live in a depraved culture. I didn’t want to believe it at first, but I fear God may allow our nation to enter into a time of judgment for our collective sins," he said.
Critics ripped GOP presidential candidate and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley over her vow to require all social media users to be verified.
