Yeah, should've clarified that as far as I'm aware Montana has no good candidates for statewide elections besides Bullock (And Tester if you want to count him but uh lol)

Is there anything technically stopping one senator from a state from running for the other seat? Like obviously they couldn't actually have both seats at once, but say they won and then vacated their old seat, triggering a special election?

I know it would be extremely dumb, but as Trump has shown there was a lot of stuff that people didn't think needed to be spelled out before that actually did...!

I don't think so. I'm unaware of anything stopping one person from holding 2 Senate seats at the same time either. Or even all the Senate seats it they owned houses in all 50 states. That would really give new meaning to the phrase, "I am the Senate."

It's funny if you think dad jokes are funny, I guess.

Yeah, I like all kinds of jokes.

Did you enjoy Yangs fat jokes?

As a Yang supporter I did not care for the fat jokes. He has enough actual issues he can stick to without resorting to such things

He's still my preferred candidate, but it is a moment that makes me wince at how unnecessary it was.

Maybe you all are just used to insulting people.

Who knows.

Oh, I insulted you? Okay.

Yeah, an unsubstantiated claim of someone being racist is an extremely offensive thing to do. A racist insult is also an extremely offensive thing to do.

Both extremely offensive things to do. Seems simple enough.

If you think being called a racist is as bad as being a racist Ive got bad news for you. Youre a racist.

Makes zero sense but ok. It's an insult for an insult. Both highly offensive.

---

Upon thinking about it I retract that. Just because there is no justification for s racial slur ever while there can be justification for the term racist. So a racial slur is indeed worse.

Ah cool man thats at least good enough thanks

Liberal Hollywood is Racist at the highest level, and with great Anger and Hate! They like to call themselves Elite, but they are not Elite. In fact, it is often the people that they so strongly oppose that are actually the Elite. The movie coming out is made in order....

If racist Elijah Cummings would focus more of his energy on helping the good people of his district, and Baltimore itself, perhaps progress could be made in fixing the mess that he has helped to create over many years of incompetent leadership. His radical oversight is a joke!

The Squad is a very Racist group of troublemakers who are young, inexperienced, and not very smart. They are pulling the once great Democrat Party far left, and were against humanitarian aid at the Border...And are now against ICE and Homeland Security. So bad for our Country!

Republican FEC commissioners are blocking an investigation into whether Russian money funneled through the NRA was used to illegally help Trump get elected:

The problem here is that Trump supporters believe that there is some New World Order that has been funneling money from overseas to Clinton and other establishment people for years. When issues like this get brought up, it's not that Trumpers don't believe it per se, but that they just think it's "evening up the score."

^ Welcome to resetera.

That ban was for me saying a Canadian restaurant manager getting fired for refusing to serve someone wearing a MAGA hat was justified. I believe.

I got my first for listing 12 reasons why I voted for Trump over Hillary and was banned for "sexism". Lolol.

I got a ban for saying they were being hypocrites because they were stereotyping police officers while also arguing against stereotyping African Americans. I said both was wrong, and it was hypocritical.

Resetera is a crazy house.

Hell I think their one moderator said white babies shouldn't even be allowed to be born or something along the lines.

Another moderator was making jokes about etika's suicide.

Lmfao.

I don't agree with ending the death penalty (tho it needs revamped) or wiping out past convictions. The rest seems fine though.

What exactly are the Hong Kong protesters end game? Total independence? Just semi-autonomy?

I think autonomy, the way they've had it since 1997. At least for China to honor its commitments under the 1980s treaty it signed with the UK (50 years self-rule).

i dont know that this deserves a ban from a website, but it is a totally dumb argument. people choose to be cops, they dont choose to be black. Theres nothing wrong with drawing conclusions about people based on decisions they make.

---

Only stupid people think its the same thing to criticize cops or Christian or whatever and compare it to being as bad as folks being racist or whatever. Cops and Christians and those sort literally have a book that theyre all supposed to follow and rules that they all supposed to follow so of course its okay to stereotype them theyre supposed to act roughly the same and theyve chosen to be like that. Aint no black guy manual to follow. Is this really that complicated for people?

I mean I think it's pretty stupid as well to equate criticizing cops and criticizing Christians. A career choice isn't the same as a belief system that you were likely raised with.

Stereotyping people by color is no different than stereotyping them for being a cop. A stereotype is a stereotype. Saying all cops are pigs and terrible people and should never be reasoned with is terrible.

The fact people complain about stereotypes and also use them when it suits them is just hypocritical.

True but they are substantially more close than equating either to race or orientation. Choices. You still get to pick so.

All cops buy into this pseudo cult brotherhood bull that sets them apart and above people and their community seeing the cops as their family and doing anything to cover for each other. And the boss will cover it, suspension with pay for a few weeks.

But if you try to expose their corruption and turn on the brotherhood you will be fired. Thats why there are no good cops, if you do the right thing even once you get fired (or killed).

Except all cops don't. So, maybe you shouldn't be judging people you know nothing about unless you support stereotypes.

If stereotyping people based on membership in a group that's by choice is okay, then it's time for full scale discrimination against Democrats.

thats only hypocrisy if youre incapable of judging things in different contexts. Its like calling me a hypocrite for saying you shouldnt pee on my shoes when im also suggesting you should pee in a toilet. Woah is peeing places good or bad????

anyway, im pretty sure I saw you stereotyping Antifa people as terrorists in another topic, so I guess youre just as bad as a racist (?)
