Yeah the writing typing thing could indicate intelligence, could also indicate education, which get conflated often

2018-10-18 01:40:37 UTC  

Democrats strongly believe that they are helping society (and there’s some evidence to prove this)

2018-10-18 01:40:50 UTC  

Certainly, the economy fairs better under democratic presidents

2018-10-18 01:42:21 UTC  
2018-10-18 01:53:10 UTC  

I don't think that's accurate

2018-10-18 01:55:14 UTC  

Did you read the study? It’s staggeringly in depth

2018-10-18 01:55:47 UTC  

They measured the economy in like 20 different ways

2018-10-18 01:56:12 UTC  

And accounted for time from policy enactments

2018-10-18 01:57:53 UTC  

You can usually tell by how they express themselves and articulate their thoughts.

2018-10-18 01:58:02 UTC  

As far as the eyes go it's hogwash.

2018-10-18 01:58:21 UTC  

You could argue lighter eyes = higher intelligence due to European ancestry.

2018-10-18 01:58:28 UTC  

Lol

2018-10-18 01:59:44 UTC  

Surprised the admins allowed democrats in here

2018-10-18 02:00:07 UTC  

Republicans are autistic enough but I remember the flood of Bernie bros from the first political discords

2018-10-18 02:00:22 UTC  

I’m surprised I’m here too

2018-10-18 02:06:47 UTC  

@wahx "Certainly, the economy fairs better under democratic presidents", except for this one of course

2018-10-18 02:07:40 UTC  

Yeah it’s a generalized statement, notice how I didn’t say “Certainly, the economy always fairs better under democratic presidents”

2018-10-18 02:09:37 UTC  

You know about the idea that there was a party switch

2018-10-18 02:09:56 UTC  

Yeah, my mom lectures about this. Or used to when she taught polysci

2018-10-18 02:09:59 UTC  

I think it's a little different than what they say

2018-10-18 02:10:09 UTC  

This study is for modern presidents

2018-10-18 02:10:22 UTC  

Not talking about the study

2018-10-18 02:10:39 UTC  

Then what are you talking about?

2018-10-18 02:10:53 UTC  

How did parties switch according to you?

2018-10-18 02:11:10 UTC  

Well I'm about to get to that

2018-10-18 02:11:44 UTC  

Now back then it's fair to say that the Democrats were originally conservative, and the Republicans more liberal correct

2018-10-18 02:11:58 UTC  

You could clearly see it in the Civil War and events occurring after

2018-10-18 02:12:22 UTC  

However, today's Democratic liberals are not the liberals we would have seen back when the Republicans were liberals

2018-10-18 02:12:35 UTC  

In fact a liberal today (or a leftist rather) is completely different

2018-10-18 02:12:45 UTC  

An old fashion liberal today would be a rightwing libertarian

2018-10-18 02:12:47 UTC  

Probably because the terms liberal and conservative don’t mean jack shit

2018-10-18 02:13:01 UTC  

you should see what they're like in England

2018-10-18 02:13:08 UTC  

Oh in England it's a fuckin mess

2018-10-18 02:13:41 UTC  

yeah, I mean the Conservatives over there are elitist assholes, and the liberals are the ones trying to keep the elites in check

2018-10-18 02:13:48 UTC  

at least, that's what my English pen-pal says

2018-10-18 02:13:54 UTC  

Sounds like America

2018-10-18 02:14:02 UTC  

I think her mother is part of the Worker's Party or something

2018-10-18 02:14:16 UTC  

she's not really big on British politics

2018-10-18 02:14:26 UTC  

heck, she could have cared less when Prince Harry got married

2018-10-18 02:14:43 UTC  

Monarchies are lame af

2018-10-18 02:14:48 UTC  

these days? yes
