    Wait, you are arguing that the Republican nominee for President didn't represent the party? The person that they chose to represent the party?

    "yours" & "mine" = weak ideal

    Difference is you want people to do their homework and yours. Hint: In both instances, this was your homework. ;)

    It is called the bigotry of low expectations. I know black people who are extremely offended by the patronizing attitudes and behavior of Democrats.

    I’ll let you off the hook as an educator since you’re into the music side.
    Otherwise, you’re getting lazy.

    Then why are most of her followers left-leaning?

    If the purpose of the account was giving fodder to conservatives, wouldn’t you think most people following it would be on the right?

    Maybe it is a bot, and maybe it’s a troll account, but even if both of those statements are true she seems to have a whole lot of folks on the left who supported her until the last 24 hours where she has become a liability.

    Which is pretty much exactly how it works if you’re a Democrat. The party will pretty much back you and cover for you no matter what until they sense that you’re more of a liability than an asset.

    I wouldn’t think a gator sports forum has the reach to matter, not as a Twitter or Facebook bot that has obvious value if it can get a following. Yet we do see comically obvious bots pop in and join the chat occasionally. To what end I don’t know.

    Whether any newishly active posters are bots is an interesting question. I wouldn’t think so, but it’s a problem that’s generally going to get worse as they get more “convincing”, so even here you can’t discount the possibility.

    I mean, your “logic” about assets vs. liabilities can be spat right back at you with the obvious understanding this twitter handle is only suddenly important to right wing circles because of the assertion it is somehow saying the “quiet part out loud”.

    But the fact the left wing folks utterly reject that tweet, to the point of wondering if it’s even a real person due the absurdity of the statement, also rather belies the notion it is actually saying “the quiet part out loud”. Your logic fails on both fronts.

    My natural inclination when seeing some viral tweet or social media, is who the hell is that person??? Why should I care what this random person did or said? I just found it amusing in this case, the consensus seems to be… bot or fake account.

    That isnt what I am asking. Is the courts opinion about the constitutionality correct?

    If it is what do we do next to help ALL underserved communities regardless of race?

    Hmmm... I see one side here being petty and taking pot shots, without any substantive counterargument. That's because they don't have a rational argument to make for affirmative action. Keep on topic and don't allow them to shift the goal posts to a totally different argument. They don't want to talk about this.
