Anyone Watch the Latest Democrat Debate? Anyone care?

The latter problem is traditionally fixable in a general election, but she can't change her gender.

She would have to avoid identity politics and get Trump-Obama voters.

because she's a woman

It is very predictable that Hispanics are more sexist.

Um. One of the disciples said that. Judas Iscariot. How did Jesus respond and what was his reasoning?

Yes I misremembered that. If I remember right, Jesus said, the poor will always be with you but not the Son of Man?

I remember President Hinckley saying, "Jesus told us the poor will always be with us," yet we still try to change the situation long term with things like the perpetual education fund. I'm all for these type of programs. Where Doc and I would disagree is when you start funding these programs through government income taxation rather than voluntary donations.

That's it? No, you are missing significant parts of the passage. Judas Iscariot wanted to know why it wasn't given to the poor because he was the keeper of the money and he STOLE from the money bag. So if had been sold for money...he would have likely stolen the money before it ever went to the poor.

Jesus told him to leave Mary alone because she had saved the oil for his burial.

And that's why he said the poor would always be with us but not him.

You know what it's not okay to pull out these Biblical quotes in order to make some kind of argument about Jesus basically blowing off the poor when you're butchering the meaning of the whole passage.

Sheesh, buddy.

You always know someone's not racist when they need to reassure themselves it's ok to be white. Just insecure.

Not racist!! Insecure.

OK, Boomer.

[_DoubtingThomas]

but in a situation where the person being elected is a criminal authoritarian destroying democracy itself, it's untenable.

Democracy was already dead for many Obama voters. I don't see how my life would have been different with a Clinton presidency.

I'm not sure how you got from what I said that I was making Jesus out to say it's ok to blow off the poor. I think one can still be Christian and charitable without ascribing to forced government wealth redistribution.
