He did. But by a smaller margin than he won white men.

So, the shortage of men who aren't nazis is actually there. And I suspect that the nazi women are having little trouble dating.

People don’t go to Harvard to get an education. They go because their parents are elites and they want their kids to make connections with the kids of other elites.

Elites don't go to Harvard for an education. But the rest of their students are there for one. I know several people with degrees from Harvard who grew up middle class and are now teaching at other universities.

I've been welcomed in feminist spaces. Don't try to take center stage or make it about you and you'll be fine in the vast majority of them.

They point at imagined or minor hypocrisies on the left to make themselves feel like their own is ok or that everyone is a hypocrite

Unfortunately I've met a few.

I was a search and rescue mountaineer/EMT for a decade. There are bigots in the field. You get a lot of "conservatives" with military or law endorsement backgrounds.

Also, to take something like this down, you'd start from the top and rappel down to it. It's how they do most rescues on El Cap (or any cliff for that matter)

You're spot on about wisdom, but it's not like people in non combat jobs aren't there to support the mission of killing people the government wants killed. Just because they aren't holding the gun, it doesn't mean they aren't sharing responsibility for the bullet

And people who didn't vote for the lesser evil could have helped avoid the greater evil, but chose not to.

Do you have the numbers you ran 6 years ago? I'm not that organized.

I used to be one of the people that came to rescue, or recover, people who fell down cliffs. (I was a search and rescue mountaineer/EMT for a decade)

I was speaking from experience.

Your conjecture is not accurate.

Packs break, clothes rip, some stuff stops falling on a ledge that other stuff bounces off of and keeps falling, etc. rarely, but not unheard of, a body part will get caught up on something while the body is falling fast enough to rip that part off and keep falling...

That would probably increase the probability of it staying with you, but clothes can easily get shredded by a big fall, and something causing a protrusion in the clothes would be a likely place for a rock to catch and tear...

I'm guessing you haven't seen a lot of people who feel hundreds of get down a mountain. I've seen about a dozen (I used to be a search and rescue mountaineer/EMT). I stand by my statement.
