I have a place where I say complicated things about philosophy and science. That place is my blog. This is where I make terrible puns.

      I'm using witchcraft as a metaphor for eg rape. If you're fighting in favor of rape, that's different from just being "anti-PC"

      Agree w/ both A&B. I'm saying the best spokesperson for this view is someone who's super-unambiguously not a rapist.

      I mean, you said you'd vote for Clinton if Rubio was on the ticket, and Rubio is the essence of bought robot.

      I haven't investigated Rubio much, but I thought he was more pro-war than Clinton.

      Probably would have voted Kasich over Clinton. Carson seems unqualified. Jeb it would've been a tossup.

          We shouldn't overthrow secular Arab dictators. Because when we do, fundies and chaos take their place.

          He once defended H1B visas, then went back, he implied amnesty, then went back.

          1 more point: it's possible to cherry-pick Trump's statements on immigration to show that he's pro-immigration.
