Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

A lot of sweeping generalizations in here.  

The one nobody is talking about are the large swath of non- bible thumpers who can’t stand either candidate, but will vote based on there desire to stop what they perceive as the progressive 
“Agenda”.  

-defund the police
-soft on crime- they see it every day on their tv
- no bail
-open border with no vetting
-forcing EVs too quickly
- parents not having a voice in school curriculum 
-pushing DEI past its useful intent and killing meritocracy,
- using courts to pursue the political opposition ( lawfare)

The list is super long.  The point is- there seems to be people in this bucket all over the place.  They are not religious at all.  They just want the pendulum to swing back the other way. 

This is simply not true.  When a school district is choosing a new curriculum series to purchase, it's required to put the prospective options on display for anyone to come investigate, vet, or just peruse.  It's required.  It's during the decision-making process, which is some number of weeks, like 6-10, somewhere in there.

No one checks it out.  No one cares.  They just bitch and moan after the fact.  REacting instead of PROactively contributing their opinion at the appropriate time. 

It's as if the school district sets up a virtual microphone for parents' voices to be heard, but no one steps up to it.  What happens is a bunch of complaining after the fact.

I give you that.  That is your world and you know it far better than me. 

I just cringe when I see parents put on the domestic terrorist list when they do complain, or publicly chastised by the school board. 

We derail and side track threads. It’s what we do.

Sigh. I suppose these days politics are treated like sports entertainment, and everyone wants to discuss politics like they’re hot take/embrace debate sports (but much more bitter and acrimonious)

I guess I am in the minority in finding a lack of that refreshing.

I'd rather it be kept in one thread, and not dominate every day, but it's offseason everything.

In 59 days, this board goes more normal (until November 5, of course).

We need more members.

the dean could and probably should lock this board

That would likely kill it for good.

I think this kinda cuts to a sort of interesting central point.

I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to create a sort of scary sounding list of many things that at various points have all been partial or total Republican aims. And then one could say that’s why a bunch of people vote blue. And maybe that says something about where we are. We’re mostly focused on trying to bulwark against the grotesqueries of the other side.

(I find the bail thing fascinating, purely from a policy/rights perspective, but maybe we can chat that out elsewhere)
