Hello! I appreciate that you analyzed census data and that you worked hard on this piece. Temporal and topical concerns are often significantly distanced from core beliefs, which is why understanding core beliefs is so important. Core beliefs are not so easily manipulated as temporal concerns.

Meme voters with no strongly held beliefs are actually NOT typical independents and cannot be targeted as such. Bending over backwards to make this lady a “type” is a symptom of journalistic rot

I think the life prayer of my dad was that I not follow in his footsteps as a very talented, very unhappy self-employed upholsterer. And hey, mission accomplished

He was a minister, a soldier in the United States Army, a chaplain, and the president of Alcorn State University. But perhaps what he's most known for is that he was the first Black person to serve in any house of Congress. Senator to Mississippi Hiram Revels was born 199yrs ago today

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Actually it’s okay for good people to be relieved when bad people die and express that however they see fit, and anyone who tells you otherwise should be scrutinized for undisclosed motives

A high school philosophy exam is a rite of passage in France. The test is such an important part of the country’s education that news outlets invite philosophers to discuss their own responses to the questions. “The philosophy exam says everything about who we are,” France’s education minister said.

The high school philosophy exam is a rite of passage for French students. This year included questions about Friedrich Nietzsche’s 1878 book, “Human, All Too Human.”
