Often times in political discourse-- when someone says "People in the inner city don't know... don't care... don't_________" its borderline derogatory. It tends to be used as the more polite version of "in the hood". People in the inner city aren't the helpless folk that the Dems want to portray them as... nor are they the ignorant folk that the Reps want to portray them as-- while you may not have meant to do the latter-- you very much did with your assumption that people in the inner city don't know anything about the people they vote for. Around here-- the few who vote-- know. You'll be hard pressed to find people who straight-ticket vote. Its a shame that we can't get more people interested and involved in the process.I don't know what district you live in (and really don't care) but how do you explain how Sheila Jackson Lee and her democratic breathren get 90% of the vote if the voters are so "nuanced?"
You likely didn't mean it that way-- but in text, its very hard to read intent. Originally Posted by Grace Preston

Officer was convicted of a far more minor crime-- so minor that he can maintain the ability to be an officer in Florida. Like so many others.. its very difficult to convict a cop-- even with a good bit of evidence. If he maintains his job, I certainly hope he hits the range because he's a shitty shot.
