"We have so much we do during the summer" has always felt like the wrong argument for teachers to make.

My mom is a teacher and she works far more hours during the school year than I do, even though I make far more than her. If you spread out her hours over a 12 month period, she would still be working >40 hours a week.

That seems more relevant when arguing being underpaid.

TopicImpeaching Trump is nice and all, but consider abolishing the Electoral College

There are three aspects of the electoral college and people tend to conflate various aspects of it when defending it.

  1. The actual process of selecting electors, giving them votes, etc. is stupid. If it ever came to a situation where electors overturned the vote of their state and changed the election outcome, people would be outraged. Why even preserve that system?
  2. The actual allocation of delegates. This is what people point to when they try to pretend like the sanctity of small states is at stake, but the truth is that campaigns don't actually go for a "Target the states with the lowest people/EV" strategy. Because...
  3. There's the winner-take-all nature of (most) states. This is why candidates spend a disproportionate amount of time in swing states, even though some of those states like Pennsylvania are actually really inefficient on the voters/EV scale.


There should be no arguments for (1) and if you care about (2) than you should be pushing against (3).

You're claiming that they asked the question that way to get a result they wanted.
Let's look at the topline question for other polls recently about impeachment.

Civiqs (12/7-12/11): Should President Trump be impeached and removed from office?
Ipsos (12/9-12/10): Which of the following comes closest to your opinion? President Trump should be impeached, President Trump should NOT be impeached, don't know
YouGov (12/7-12/10): Do you think the U.S. House of Representatives should or should not impeach Donald Trump?
Quinnipiac (12/4-12/9): Do you think that President Trump should be impeached and removed from office, or don't you think so?

Is everyone in the tank for Trump?

Idk man, "How do you define your voters", "Did they ask that question", etc. all seem like methodology questions to me.

And as I thought.

It didn't mention Ukraine or treason in relation to the impeachment.

91% Republicans said he shouldn't be. Nearly all Dems said he should.

As I said, they got the result they manipulated.

Don't know why you're fighting me on it, your own link demonstrates my point. I feel like you didn't actually look through it.

Asking the question without mentioning Ukraine or treason is the neutral way to ask the question.

I posted the link to the methodology because you asked methodology questions.

Claiming "insecurity" is a new radical hot take

You're not insecure for not wanting to date/have sex with a transgender person.

You're insecure for being worried you'll "accidentally" date/have sex with one to such a degree that anyone with a >1% of dating you should be outing themselves to you without you saying anything.

Having preferences and a selective process in your sexual relationships
= being insecure with your sexuality

If your selective process is "hope that people who don't meet your preferences select themselves out", you don't have a selective process.

At this point in my life, I'm not willing to date someone who has kids. That doesn't mean that anyone has an obligation to tell me they have kids. The degree to which it's a deal breaker for me makes it my responsibility to get that information.

And if I'm going to sleep with someone and then I find out they have kids, it just means that I don't sleep with them and I don't continue the relationship. If I've stated that I wouldn't date someone with kids and they lied to me, that's a different story.

The only bad faith arguing itt is people pretending like they care about fertility when they're picking up randos from the bar.

You guys should just come to terms with the fact that you're insecure with your sexuality. That's the only thing you're actually worried about here.

Like what are the actual consequences that you're fearing? If I hooked up with someone and we went back to their place and they pulled down their pants to show they had a penis, I would just acknowledge that we weren't sexually compatible and pass. I wouldn't lie awake at night worried that I had kissed someone who ended up being born biologically male, because what I was physically attracted to were whatever feminine aspects of them made me think they were a cis woman instead.

I don't think I need to spell it out. She was obviously offended at the notion.

I mean, you seem to think that she was offended because she was "clearly" biologically female, but yet you're worried that you're one encounter away from getting "fooled" into dating a transgender person.

Why doesn't this random person on Twitter understand how very important it is for your friend to verify that he's not accidentally going to be sleeping with a transgender person? It's completely reasonable, right?

Of course not, just the people they're pursuing romantically.

So why is it unreasonable for me to ask you to ask just the people you're pursuing romantically if they're transgender if that's a deal breaker for you?

Lmao, I don't think it'd go over so well if guys just started asking every girl they meet "hm, are you transgender?"

And no one should have to do that anyway.

No transgender person should have to tell every person they meet that they're transgender either.

Sorry, edit my post got cut off:
In both scenarios, there's a point at which that information becomes relevant. It's not immediately.

37% just said that they did according to that poll

What percentage of that 37% are Republicans though? Those same Republicans were willing to look past a lot of things that went against their cultural conservative beliefs to vote for Trump. It's easy for people to say they wouldn't vote for a gay president when they don't think it's going to reach a point where they have to abide by that preference.

Even if they believed that it should be under the rarest of circumstances, I feel like they're not even arguing for why this isn't that rare circumstance. They're basically just saying "Probabilistically, any impeachment is wrong!"
