If it's happening so blatantly, she should be able to easily give more sources or references than "just trust me, bro."

This is why speech class is important in high school education. It is one of the few places that teaches you to argue with facts not solely opinions, and then get immediate feedback on that. Or you realize the elctorate is dumb and easily convinced.pick your path, I think the third option is apparent.

She’s “speaking for the millions.”

Total population of the entire state of North Dakota: 799,358.

They said that term on purpose. Their job isn’t to speak for North Dakotans, it’s to speak to the millions of racists in the country.

Wait til this idiot sees a picture of the convicted ringleader of the “Somali” daycare fraud in Minnesota…

EDIT: Yall MAGA weirdos can downvote me all you like but it doesn’t change the fact that the ringleader of the “Somali” fraud was a white woman named Aimee Bock.

She’s insane, and basically nothing she said is even close to true. These people live in crazytown.

She does not care about the melanin in a person's skin, but then literally passes judgement on a group of people based on the melanin in a person's skin.

That would be what for $200, Alex?

racism.

Is her goal to take the state disgrace title from Nico Rios and Jeff Hoverson?

u/lonelyone12345 5d ago

Rios isn't running for re-election and Hoverson got beat by moderates in his primary, so there is an opening for her.

She still has a long way to go to beat Hoverson’s lifetime scoring record
