Once again I woke up thinking I needed to correct and expand upon my earlier post.
Regarding the safety pins, I completely forgot to mention that I fully support the idea of making minorities feel safe. Even if I don’t feel like I can participate myself, I applaud others for doing so. In my real life activities, based on past experience, I don’t think it’s likely that I would encounter any bad situations, but if I did, I’d like to think I would try to intervene if I could. It’s not really my forte, though.
Regarding James Comey winning the election for Trump: I think the demographic data coming out now shows that Trump would have won regardless of whether he’d said anything about the emails again.
On the subject of getting rid of the electoral college, I haven’t studied it enough to make an opinion one way or another. I’ve read some compelling arguments for keeping it, though.
I wish I had access to that election map thingy that John King plays with on CNN. I’d love to be able to explore that data myself.
