2020 Voter Turnout

[PlatinumGuy]

The food entitlement programs are wildly successful.

There are more of those in Republican states? Or they help lower obesity with higher quality food? Either way, my original statement while tasteless remains accurate

[PlatinumGuy]

I promise you cannabis is not their problem.

Its the solution

Is this the fallback for everything? The polls were actually VERY accurate in 2016. Hillary won the popular vote by a margin very in line with polls. Alas that does not make her president.

No only for polls. yup VERY accurate.

States with 35%+ obesity are all Republican (I would imagine Hawaii is an exception)
States with <30% obesity are almost all Democrat
States with 30-35% obesity are Republican And swing states.

I shouldn’t be surprised a staple of Trump supporters & Covid-ignorers is detachment from reality.

That's cute. Now pull the stats for murders, drug usage, rapes, general violent crimes, poverty, and race, and let's see if we can come to a few more twisted "tasteless but accurate" conclusions.

I think marijuana usage demos would shock a lot of people on here.

How do those disprove my statement?

For the record, using any drug never crossed my mind. I avoid all meds like the plague and only take Tylenol once every few years.

That being said, I’m skeptical of D’s smoke more than R’s when you exclude people under 30, which are definitely more prone to vote D & smoke weed

Do you also avoid vaccines?

No, he gets vaccines - he said he avoids the plague.

Didn't say your statement was able to be disproved. It was a twisted thing to say, though. A saying about throwing stones from glass houses comes to mind.

You should smoke weed. I think everyone on DDF should at least once.

Sounds like something to bring up in a different thread

It’s totally off-topic but I’m the first to admit there is more crime in blacks than white, and I don’t think that’s a controversial statement. The problem is treating the blacks who aren’t criminal differently because of the blacks who are criminals, much like I hate being associated as a Jew with certain behavior that may be more common amongst Jews, yet doesn’t make me personally more likely to commit. The second issue is that you have to look at the cause, and while criminals are bad people, they probably weren’t born with a higher tendency to crime, so as a society we have to attempt to change whatever the underlying causes are.

That's all good and well, but I was talking about voters.

Fair enough

Do you also avoid vaccines?

Not sure if you actually want to know, but I take vitamin D now even though I normally wouldn’t. As you can imagine the girls don’t like my blunt contrarian style so I don’t have kids to vaccinate, though I definitely would do all commonly accepted vaccines. If I was high risk I would take the Chinese vaccine & maybe even the Russian vaccine, but being the diametric opposite I probably won’t take a Covid vaccine. I hope people around me do though

I honestly don't see you as a blunt contrarian at all.

Life hack: be a diplomatic contrarian.

I’m far from 100% certain that Biden will win Texas, though I think he will
