"Willfully ignorant"...

There's your problem. You don't recognize the PRIVILEGE you have, being the intelligence you are. 2/3s of IQs are between 85 and 115, one standard deviation each way. I'd say almost ALL of the people here on Lemmy have IQs in the teens. Maybe you don't grasp the VAST CHASM between 115 and 85.

IQs fall on a bell curve. 100 is average. It will always be average, because it's adjusted to be average. 70 and below is intellectually disabled, and 79 and lower is borderline intellectually disabled. Not because they're "willfully ignorant." Because that's the limit of their ability.

Someone with a lower IQ isn't REJECTING your presentations of fact and logic, or the witty sarcasm of progressive late-night hosts. They physically CAN'T UNDERSTAND THEM.

Try teaching a special needs class and tell me about "willful ignorance". Or just fill a classroom with failing students and teach them something political.

Maybe you think they won't be trying hard enough? Maybe you think they're just lazy?

That sounds a lot like conservatives talking about poor people.

Well when you don't want to play the "getting elected" game, don't be surprised when you don't "get elected"

Democratic primaries? How much national popularity did that take?

Lol, ok, you win, I give up completely. Your logic, I can't compete. She was the Beyonce of 2016.

You keep using that word.

I do not think it means what you think it means.

She was far from popular, in 2016. How old were you 2016? Because research may not be painting you a good picture.

And if you were an adult, perhaps you were isolated? I don't know the explanation. But you are quite wrong. She has never been popular with the majority.

Hillary? Popular? Did you just pop into this timeline from another reality?

Great thread. Saved

This is a fine idea

Voters? How about the Democratic party? You're telling me there isn't a compelling candidate in the entire fucking United States of America?

Children in the foster care system. Absolutely the most vulnerable. So few care. No parades. No flags. No days, or weeks. No corporate acknowledgement, sincere or not.

Go ahead and downvote me. They're used to it.
