I don't know about her but thought I'd take a quick look. This article tries to say she's a racist based on the following statements: In another video, Greene reportedly said racial disparities don’t exist in America. “Guess what? Slavery is over,” she is quoted as saying. “Black people have equal rights.” I can't make racism out of that, but obviously others can. Maybe her opponents have worse things on her but decided not to report on them. I'm not claiming anything about her, but I am showing the way the press works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was part of the press for 10 years, although a lifetime ago. I refuse to paint them all with that broad a brush. You hadn't seen any of her ads? Just not the kind of person I would have voted for, but I skipped our primary. Green and her opponent both had ads where they were showing off their ARs. They were both catering to a certain crowd. Done with this part as it isn't beneficial, especially for Klipsch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't paint "the press" as broadly as my comments might make it seem. My biggest beef is probably 90% is just lazy reporting, mixed with personal agenda. Also, if women who brandish AR15's turn you off, I get it. I feel similar about tattoos on women. I have no problem with people taking positions. My issue is with how prevalent misleading "news" is. But... We have to accept this as part of a free press, so caveat emptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry4841 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 This thread could get off base and get real nasty real quickly. Remember, electoral college is the topic. The one thing I fear the most for this country is if just one party becomes the norm. History shows any one party country is going to eventual become very corrupt and the people are the ones who will suffer. No party should break the law to stay in power and if they do they should be punished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozo73 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 A compromise solution would be to distribute electoral votes by house district winners and award the senate votes to the overall winner of the state. It works in Nebraska and Maine. If I recall correctly, Mitt Romney would have won in 2012 with this method. Well maybe that would.....
