My grad school was full of Indian students, and I think we straight-up asked them if their factories follow the same principles as the corporate office. 

 

The response was "don't ask."

Even the corporate offices, in say India.  are the Dalits allowed to work?  Can women be management?  

 

The Indian students at your grad school were probably Brahmin / Kshatriyas.  like you said, it really wouldn't matter to them.  

 

Vaishyas and Shudras are more in the working class.

Vivek Ramaswamy shares 10 commandments of 2024 campaign, starts with 'God is real,' 'There are two genders'

Which one?

 

 

They aren't "commandments, but you knew that.

 

 

A list of 10 things that the candidate says HE believes are real.

 

He doesn't demand that you believe them all, he just wants you to know that he does.

 

 

How illuminating that when a politician says that he/she believes that God is real,  it sets off alarms for the biased here.

 

Must be all those theocracies that have been set up in the U.S. over the past 250 years. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Oh wait, no one has.

I think this is an aggregate of negative spends against each candidate, so it would likely cover ad buys from each other as well.

I mean it's worked if we're being honest. DeSantis is getting buried. I'm not even sure he finishes 2nd above Vivek anymore.

Vivek is interesting in a Republican Obama kind of way.  
 

I don’t dislike him .. I could get behind him over Trump.  
 

But his “surge” is manufactured hype (so far).  Following the Trump model of flooding the zone with nonsense polls that give an illusion of momentum.  Only Fox News recent poll is any legitimate one that shows him doing anything more than 2-4%.   That could certainly change though, as it seems the more people hear from him, the more they like him. 
 

That said, he won’t be the nominee, because he has zero intention of being that.  He’s a Trump plant and potential VP.

Yup.  He's never even been a mayor, much less a Congressman, much much less a Governor.

I think it will be Trump or DeSantis next year. But maybe 2028.

Ron DeSantis' Debate strategy memos have leaked.

 

He thinks he going to win by...hitting Vivek, not Trump, and by sharing emotional anecdotes.

 

This guy is ***** clueless. 

The headline is a lie and you actually read the article and still thought it was true. The group that presented the info has no direct connection to DeSantis and the info was not leaked it was presented to the world. This is someone's very public thoughts on what he should do, not his campaigns. Truly written for the least intelligent since the article completely obliterated the headline.

No.

It sets off my finely tuned bs detector when a Hindu speaks in terms of a singular capital G god.

Ramaswamy's god is (not surprisingly) Rama. One of the Hindu gods, sometimes considered to be a manifestation or avatar of Vishnu. Certainly not the God of the Old Testament.

So it is idiotic pandering for a follower of a polytheistic religion to put out a statement that "God is real." All gods are real? That's a refutation of the religious right voters he's trying to pander to. Let's hope they see right through it.

A more honest approach: I am a Hindu. I follow a moral code based on my religion and sense of morality. I respect your Christian faith and I pray to my gods that you will respect my Hindu faith, and I believe you will find some important similarities in the moral codes we follow.

It was deliberately leaked by his far and away dominant PAC. A PAC led by the same guy who has now been pulled into the immediate DeSantis campaign. 

It was leaked because it's illegal for these PACs to coordinate with campaigns. In other words, the PAC people can't call the DeSantis campaign people and say "you're doing it wrong; here's what our research shows would work better." So they posted - briefly, but long enough for everyone including the campaign to take notice - a strategy memo for everyone to see. Technically no "coordination" that way. There's nothing happenstance or "outsider" here.

This is the best attack on Trump/MAGA I’ve heard in a long time.  
 

Straightforward, while avoiding coming off as antagonistic.

You try so hard.  Your like the little kid picked last in a pick up baseball game who strikes out every time, makes tons of errors but keeps coming back until one team would rather play with 8 players than have him on their team.  I always felt sorry for those kids. Not so much now that they're adults.

lmao - that’s what they all are. From DR, Karen, and Bonnie on down - every single one of them are losers.

I always felt sorry for the name-calling bullies until I understood that they are just insecure and afraid of those that think differently. Yes, it’s sad but now that they are adults and still acting the same way it’s hard to feel for them.

Now you're a psychologist too?  Amazing!

 

But since I struck a nerve, define "listless" for me.  Is it even close to "deplorable"?

premise:1  Capitalism is competitive

2.That won't change without a change in economic or government ideology

3. Socialism and communism are less competitive systems

Conclusion:  If you desire to be rid of survival of the fittest, Communism and Socialism are realistic choices

They aren't a municipality, they've had a free ride long enough. If they don't like the state laws they can pack up and move to Massachusetts or something where I'm sure the state would be happy to let them groom kids like they did to Miley Cyrus 

 

Tax free and with total autonomy of course

Really hard for me to buy the man who served his country in the United States military,

has been a faithful husband and loving father to three,

a leader in Congress, and a phenomenal governor who has: fought COVID tyranny and mandates,

taken on woke Disney, taken on and defeated CRT and LGBTQ grooming in schools, signed a heart beat bill,

bused illegals to blue cities, fired activist DAs, supported and funded law enforcement

and won his state by nearly 20 points (including a historic win in Miami-Dade)

 

is somehow a RINO because he choose to run against Trump. Sorry, not buying that load of dog crap. Try again.

It's funny to call DeSantis a "RINO" when Trump was a Dem for decades.
