    - how can voters in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago vote for all the southern senators and representatives? -- nm - charlie Apr 21, 14:01 9
      - Forgive me if I'm wrong, but doesn't some of the basic measures have fairly broad support, even in red states? - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 14:03 8

        they were both terrible, rich candidates -- nm - charlie Apr 21, 14:33 2
        
        My point is that a well-funded candidate can still beat the NRA if the gun control supporters only support their candidate. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 14:38 1
        
        in theory. no candidate wants to be the first one to put that theory to the test -- nm - charlie Apr 21, 14:41

        The guy who made big drinks his pet cause in NYC? I don't care how much righteous money he puts behind it, the messenger is wrong - Will Hunting Apr 21, 13:36 2
        
        He's done a lot more than that. To say big drinks is his pet cause isn't fair. - Krusty Apr 21, 13:55
        
        he's not wrong about the drinks -- nm - charlie Apr 21, 13:37

Have we seen this tweet? -- (link) - ty97 Apr 21, 13:19 6
- Yes, but it's not entirely accurate of course. The WBC haven't suicide bombed anyone, and the islamic extremists beliefs are less repulsive than WBC.. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 13:23 4
  - Also there are only like 20 WBC members. -- nm - Ender Apr 21, 14:11
  - I think you miss the point -- nm - ty97 Apr 21, 13:26 1
    - I think I over thought the point. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 14:10

- underline was the substitute when you didn't have italics -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 21, 13:53
