Her landslide victory in the Georgia primary is a wake-up call

If you had to describe the state of the Democratic Party in 2018, you could pretty well capture it in two wildly contrasting vignettes from the past two days. Cut to Tuesday evening in Atlanta, Georgia: In a jam-packed and jubilant ballroom, 44-year-old Stacey Abrams – who's running to become the first black female governor in American history – celebrated a landslide victory in the state's Democratic primary. Abrams is the sort of candidate the Democratic Party would never have recruited to run for governor of any state, much less a Southern one. If her race and gender didn't mark her as a sure "liability" in the eyes of the consultants, her unabashed liberalism would have. But despite vigorous (white) opposition, 76 percent of Georgia Democrats decided otherwise. "We are writing the next chapter of Georgia's future," Abrams joyfully proclaimed, "where no one is unseen, no one is unheard, and no one is uninspired."

Stacey Abrams is a name you need to know

Roughly 36 hours earlier, on the Capitol steps in Washington, two white, wind-blown senior citizens named Pelosi and Schumer rolled out the latest installment of the party's grand plan for winning this year's midterms – a wonky and far-flung platform glommed together under the yawn-inducing catchphrase, "A Better Deal." (Not a good deal, mind you – certainly not a great one. Just "better.")

The contrast could hardly have been more vivid – or more telling.

The Democrats' grand theme this year, Pelosi and Schumer said, won't be bold proposals for health care or jobs or criminal-justice reform – it'll be "corruption." Why? Because "instead of delivering on his promise to drain the swamp, President Trump has become the swamp," Pelosi explained. In response, the Democrats aren't calling for impeachment or anything so drastic – instead, they're planning to run another version of the Trump campaign, focusing on "draining the swamp." The difference is, we really mean it!

I’ll be using the data for African-Americans from the 2009-10 testing years. The key numbers are as follows:

Total number of test-takers: 14,585

Mean score: 142.04

Standard Deviation: 8.74

1SD Above Mean: 150.78 (151)

2 SD Above Mean: 159.52 (160)

2.5SD Above Mean: 163.89(164)

3 SD Above Mean: 168.26 (168)

Now with this data in hand, we can use this standard deviation curve (LinkRemoved) to get an idea of approximately how many AA test takers (what percentage, roughly) fall at or above each of the standard deviation milestones I listed above.

Number of Black Test Takers At or Above 2SD (159.5): 335.455 (335-336)

At or Above 2.5SD (164): 87.51 (87-88)

At or above 3SD (168): 14.585 (14-15)

maybe i was thinking of black teens with 1400+ SAT scores

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3984685&forum_id=2#36115070)

1400 is 99th percentile for Blacks, 94th for Whites, 85th for Asians

She's also a hardass w/ her fuckup brothers, I've heard her tell them to go spend the money she gives them on a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter and to eat that shit for a week vs. fast food.

Again, zero alignment on her politics, but her character and integrity are absolutely in high standing. As far as her sexuality, I can honestly say despite the outward appearance of her being LGBT, I really don't think she is, or if she is she's not conscious about it because she has dated men.

That said, if we accept that we live in a society that won't be governed by a single party, my hope is that people with whom I disagree with are at least relatively honest, sincere, and coming from a place of real intent.

But since you’re a Trumpmo, you clearly don’t require any of that from those you agree with.
