Everyone should unequivocally condemn the government-imposed racial discrimination Obama is pushing!
Obama makes three errors in one post, all of them philosophical.
First, the United States is a constitutional republic, not a democracy. The purpose of the Constitution is to protect individual rights from the majority, not to ensure "equal participation in our democracy." The Founders designed the system specifically to prevent what Obama is demanding: unlimited majority rule.
Second, "protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach" sounds correct until you examine the premise. Rights belong to individuals, not groups. The moment you define rights by racial group membership, you have adopted the same collectivist framework that produced the discrimination you claim to oppose. Jim Crow categorized people by race and assigned rights accordingly. Modern voting rights activism does the same thing with different beneficiaries. Both are collectivism.
Third, gerrymandering is a problem created entirely by the system Obama wants to preserve: a political structure where the drawing of district lines determines outcomes. His solution is not to fix the structure. It is to ensure his side draws the lines.
The government must treat every citizen equally before the law. Everyone should reject Obama's framing entirely. He is not defending individual rights.
He is defending group power, while using the language of rights to make collectivism sound like liberty.
No, both sides aren't equally responsible for political violence. The media loves sharing graphs and "data" showing the Right is more violent than the Left, but the organizations producing that data are cooking the books so they can smear the Right with the Left's crimes.
...Gallego previously complained in leaked messages that "We used to be the party of sex, drugs, and rock and roll." He added, "Dem women look like Dem men and Dem men look like women." https://t.co/CBx46o2Y3T
Ask Trump: is it not a fact that among your list of demands to Harvard University in exchange for unfreezing 2.2 billion in grants is that you want control of -hiring -admissions and -teaching standards
Go Crimson/just say no
@elonmusk Still a self-righteous asshole. And he's only scaring people that are on the left and far left...now they know how I felt when Biden was in charge and letting in millions of unchecked people. And now Trump has to get them out...that's not scary, that's what's right.
@VDHanson Even a simple endorsement turns into extreme threats about what Trump supposedly do.
it also looks like a conflict of interest since these are the people responsible for getting our ballots delivered.
