Search Results: is race important

In most countries, men support the far right about twice as much as women do. Perhaps one of the most important narratives of the far right in Europe is the claim that Muslim immigrants like me harass women and even commit sexual assaults.

The conclusion from this, at best, would be a more mixed-race Europe. Otherwise, unfortunately, the alternative is harassment and ra...

While everyone was distracted by whether trannies can use the girl's bathroom or play in women's sports, our public safety infrastructure was crumbling. We are in the midst of a nationwide volunteer firefighter shortage. Most fire departments are volunteer-run.

In Tennessee alone, 42 percent of fire departments are classified as either "at-risk" or "distressed". 500 of the nearly 700 fire departments in Tennessee are ran by volunteers. 97.9 percent of Tennessee counties have ambulance deserts. Volunteer firefighters and rescue squad crews often provide EMS first response, aiding the critically ill or injured until ambulance crews arrive. They are an important part of the EMS system too. Meanwhile, leftist policies have displaced many Northerners and Californians towards Tennessee. We are the 15th most populous state now.

We forget about the basics while shifting focus to stupid shit, like the rainbow people and race-based politics.

Today, Tuesday, 4 November 2025, is election day in the United States.

It's an off-year, with no major national elections, but there are several important local and state elections in various parts of the country.

Whether you voted in this election or not, this question wants to know how you usually vote. What method do you use?

Please vote in the poll.

FYI... I voted today at my local polling place, only two local races.

Have one election, no primaries, and the top vote-getters go to Washington as the state’s representatives. It would result in wildly more diverse delegations, more moderates representing a wider range of ages, races and political beliefs than we have in Congress.

Rural voters wouldn’t lose “their” representatives under this system any more than urban voters would. In fact, all voters would be more represented, not less. For example, each Pennsylvanian would go from having three representatives to having 19. And each member could cultivate a statewide constituency based on political orientation, social beliefs and moral reasoning rather than geography.

Electing all the representatives at large would make all the districts in each state the same size. More important, it would end the redistricting wars that bedevil us only after the census but now seem destined to become a permanent & ugly fixture of American politics.

If each state chose its representatives in a single statewide election, the result would be a House of Representatives truly representative of the people. Smaller parties would finally stand a chance of winning a seat at the table. The two major parties would be forced to enter coalitions, which would require compromise and moderation — qualities sorely lacking.

Critics will insist that the House is no place for the 17th-place finisher. Perhaps. But could the resulting Congress be any more dysfunctional than the current one?

A single-vote, winners-take-all system would remove party politics and geography from the process. Representatives would represent people with shared ideologies, not some artificially constructed “district” where half the voters feel their representative is not representative of their beliefs.

For example, there aren’t enough socialists or libertarians in any one congressional district in PA to win a seat. But maybe there are enough socialists or libertarians statewide to enable a candidate to finish in the top 17.
