When I get to the point in a conversation where it becomes a circle jerk of nonsense because the person I am talking to is either irrational, or refuses to acknowledge verifiable fact, and instead hone in on whatever ridiculous bullshit they feel somehow validates their claim, or provides a sufficient distraction from mine... Its really not worth anyone's time to bother further.

When you pointed out that the pipeline doesn't go through native territory, I at least had to look into that, and found it to be true. That's worth my time. Arguing over whose T levels are higher isn't. I do believe that the pipeline goes through native burial sites, and is potentially hazardous to the water supply in the area, and I believe there are still legal procedures that have been illegally bypassed in the pipeline's installation process. However, I was under the impression that it did go directly through their land, and that was erroneous.

no, they made concessions, but instead of pelting them with rubber bullets, they should work out a better deal.

fucking pieces of shit do not need to put the pipeline in where they want it...go further around, fuck the government and all that. muh taxes. all that dumb shit.

The natives had literally hundreds of times to weigh in on the position of the pipeline, they declined, until it was too late

We don't have a system like Europe does.  When 55% of voters vote for Republican leaders, then 100% of those leaders are Republican, not just 55%.

That explains why red states are so consistently worse off than blue states.

He was suggesting that since a state is Red or Blue that ALL of those people in that state support the policies, that's not the case since most of those states are equally divided and are Red or Blue by the slimmest of margins.

"are so consistently worse off"

Define "worse off".

They earn less money and require more welfare, on average.

What he's really saying is they have less millionaires, and that's true, they also have less crime, which is also true.

I'd prefer the latter than the former

Liberals are not pro 'single moms', are not pro 'children out of wedlock', are not pro 'massive student debt'.  Do you believe everything you read on the internet?

Do Red states "require more welfare" on a relative basis?  Or do they just contribute less in tax revenue relative to their welfare usage?

It appears the argument being made is that using more Federal aid to supplement the state's revenue means the public is using more "welfare". That's sounds like a tax revenue issue, not using more "welfare" on a relative basis.

Who lobbies for more welfare?

Who lobbies for bigger govt?

Who demands more welfare for single moms?

Who runs the majority of the major universities?

Because they don't have as many millionaires

I'm failing to see the big deal, they have low crime, and have nice places to live

I'd rather live in a small red state than a liberal sprawling metropolis

I don't care about the number of millionaires.  The median income in red states is less than it is in blue states.

I already acknowledge that fact and it doesn't answer the questions I asked. Is this a welfare or tax revenue issue?
