POLITICS MEGA-thread 2025-2026 edition

What's even funnier to me is that juries decisions have to be unaminous -- i.e. if there's significant ethnic favoritism for one group than it's more likely they aren't going to be convicted.

No, the point is that it is inherently flawed to expect rationale from 12 random people who passed the minimum filter and are paid 15 an hour or whatever to be there to actually do the objectively correct thing always

Here’s a question, do you think the majority of people in the United States are smart?

Do you think black people will succumb to racism and vote a black defendant guilty?

I don’t care about the racist diatribe arguments quite honestly and have to shower before my Hot Date tonight.

I don't know but I do know that in the right form, pancakes are always better than waffles.

If anything, with juries, ethnic favoritism would cause MORE people to get off because of things have to be unanimous.

It's going to take you years to understand this basic logic because you're a moron.

That’s untrue, if you can inspire me to care. It’s a good habit to do of people you want to persuade in the first place atleast

They abolished jury trials in Singapore not because of racism, but because of ethnic favoritism that ended up in no one being able to be convicted.

I don't know what you're talking about, Jones. You're being judged poorly by all of your ethnic peer here

I'm a Southerner. None of you are anywhere remotely near me.

If there was massive racism in the court system and all races were equally racist you'd see a less conviction rate for everyone.

I don’t disagree. It doesn’t contradict what I said either. It’s flawed. It’s the surface you look at when you look at incarceration rates and trial rates, but also they are flawed when your average black person has far from average honky person privileges, and privileges meaning resources more so than what you think

Is your point that honky people are fair but minorities just protect their own?
