so you're saying it's all just about politics, rather than trying to work toward actual freedoms or rights? i can see that maybe being the case, on some level. but not as a whole.
At the upper level it is about politics.
At the lower level it is about phony accomplishments. People trying to make it appear like they are important or are doing something.

so, if you see something that you feel like should be changed or done differently, is that because you want to seem important?
and is every gripe you have with our system equal? do you hold them all to be of the same importance?

Do you think democrats do not consider the black population, who they literally rely on for victorues at both state and federal levels, when they draw districts?

Important things for Foo: not being blown up by terrorists, not working just to pay the government, not having a drug addict culture, not murdering innocents
Important things for SJWs: allowing creepy men in ladies rooms, making sure gays can get pieces of paper from the government, making sure cops get shot first, making sure people who do not work can buy energy drinks

So you agree!
Yes, redustricting is political and voting blocs are considered. Not really mind blowing.

you talk a lot about those things, for not being concerned about them, or having issue with them. so, let me ask... do you consider someone using government benefits to buy an energy drink as heinous as a terrorist blowing someone up?

Nope. I am not fighting for their right to buy energy drinks with food stamps, but liberals did.

yeah, you're dodging. fair enough. not every concern or issue has to be equal. so your silliness about "don't treat a guy in a woman's bathroom the same as a black guy getting lynched" is crap.

Would you say it is fair to inflict billions of economic damage onto a state who passes legislation stating a person born a make must use that bathroom?

zombie wrote:no. all of that has been discussed before, and can be again, in detail, if that's what you want.
in the meantime, are those actual issues or are you just blowing things out of proportion or trying to make yourself look important?
it just feels like you're trying to say that other people's concerns are invalid, and your own (or those that others share with you) are all that matters. i take issue with that.

That is as close to Donald Trump and his Presidency as any description I've heard. Pretending to be doing something. Wanting to feel like they've done something. Despite doing nothing. Expecting praise as a toddler does from a group around a table. The thin skinned Tangerine in Chief is currently in one of the most inept Presidencies with no movement on any agenda and no major legislation to point to. Alongside record-low approvals.
