so youre the coward who has confused facts with flamebait?
these things he has said and done. the source is irrelevant. they can verified through just about any source except maybe breitbart, and only because they're now working for him openly.
lets also not forget the private security guards trying to intimidate the protestors with dogs, and then pushing the dogs into the protestors, forcing the animals into close proximity until the dogs began biting some of the protestors.

Here’s What Mike Pence Said on LGBT Issues Over the Years
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Donald Trump’s running mate, attracted national attention last year when he signed a religious freedom law that members of the LGBT community said could worsen discrimination against them.
After criticism from the business community, Pence signed an amendment to the law intended to protect gays and lesbians.
But it was not his first brush with criticism from the LGBT community. A self-described “Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order,” the former member of Congress was a prominent conservative figure in battles over marriage equality and equal rights in the last decade.
Here are some of the statements and positions Pence had has related to LGBT issues:
He said gay couples signaled ‘societal collapse’
In 2006, as head of the Republican Study Committee, a group of the 100 most-conservative House members, Pence rose in support of a constitutional amendment that would have defined marriage as between a man and a woman. Citing a Harvard researcher, Pence said in his speech, “societal collapse was always brought about following an advent of the deterioration of marriage and family.” Pence also called being gay a choice and said keeping gays from marrying was not discrimination, but an enforcement of “God’s idea.”
He opposed a law that would prohibit discrimination against LGBT people in the workplace
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act would have banned discrimination against people based on sexual orientation. Pence voted against that law in 2007 and later said the law “wages war on freedom and religion in the workplace.”
More than 20 years after the bill was first introduced, the Senate approved the proposal in 2013, but the bill failed in the House.
He opposed the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell
Pence favored the longtime military policy of not letting soldiers openly identify as gay. In 2010, Pence told CNN he did not want to see the military become “a backdrop for social experimentation.” The policy ended in 2011.
He rejected the Obama administration directive on transgender bathrooms
In May, the federal government directed school districts to allow students to use the bathroom of the gender they identify with. The directive came as criticism crescendoed around a North Carolina law that would have restricted the use of bathrooms.
Along with many other conservatives, Pence opposed Obama’s directive and said it was a state issue. “The federal government has not business getting involved in issues of this nature,” Pence said.
xenophobia is fear of the Other, or the Outsider. foreigner doesn't only refer to nationality. a person can be a foreigner, or outsider, to a neighborhood, a city, a state, a nation, world, a political party, an organization, etc.
A short and very incomplete list of completely racist things Trump has said or done: -"theres one of my blacks" -"mexico is sending us rapists" -"laziness is a trait in blacks" -"the judge is a Mexican" -"they don’t look like Indians to me... They don’t look like Indians to Indians.” -supports stop-and-frisk, as practiced by the NYPD (ie, unconstitutional and racially discriminatory), and wants it expanded nationwide, claiming it worked, contrary to all evidence -Obama's birth certificate -condoned the abuse and even beatings of multiple Black Lives Matter protesters and other minorities at his campaign rallies -regularly engages in anti-Semitism -treats his minority supporters as literal tokens -treats minorities and racial groups as monolithic stereotypes -thinks all African americans live in the inner city, are poor, without work, receiving welfare, and uneducated -saying 88% of white murders are committed by black folks -repeating statements from white supremacists multiple occasions -making blatant dog whistles to the alt-right, white supremacist crowd -not condemning or distancing from white supremacists campaigning for him, including David Duke -encouraged mob justice against the Central Park 5, and continues to insist they are guilty years after its proven otherwise, including spending 85k$ on full page ads in the paper advocating for their execution -being sued by the federal government on multiple occasions for not renting to minorities
Hell, even when he claims to be trying to reach out, he's doing so in white communities and actually only repeating racist myths and stereotypes that are meant to appeal to white voters and make them feel better about voting for such overt racist.
His father was a racist who went to KKK rallies. His sons are racist, and kep appearing on white supremacist radio programs..."accidentally". Once may be an accident. Twice, you need to fire your booking agent. four times and counting? its no longer accidental or someone else's fault. Donald Trump IS racist, regardless of the efforts of the ignorant to ignore it or explain it away.
Is it true that Democrats used to be the conservative party and Republicans used to be the progressive party?
Something I learned in history class is that the Republicans tended to be against slavery, while the Democrats were for it. It was a Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, who was the politician who made the greatest impact against slavery. Yet, now things have changed. Republican politicians have routinely been accused of racism, and ethnic minorities are more likely to be supportive of the Democrats.

What you've learned is accurate.
Understanding this has to do more with understanding U.S. political history in general.
The republicans were a new party in Lincoln's day. They were a conglomeration of various northern former Whig constituencies and people that wanted to develop the west that coalesced due to issues surrounding slavery. Generally speaking, they retained a lot of the older Whig economic views that the government should be involved in the economy. It should promote policies that promote growth, they thought. That meant financing infrastructure, education, protecting native industries, policies that promoted commerce and rapid job growth. They did believe in more federal involvement in all these things, and it cost money. They were the forward looking, innovative party, and also vaguely speaking they were the "big government" party and had policies that promoted big banks, big industry, big business.
The democrats were the more tradition-minded party. They were also the party focused on keeping taxes low and when it came to promoting commerce, etc... wanted to leave it to the states. Generally speaking, they were the "states' rights" party.
The shift started after the Civil War and continued for over 135 years. After the civil war, the republicans started to split into factions generally divided between how deep "in bed" you got with big business, so they developed a conservative business wing often at odds with with the more progressive wing. The democrats pretty much stayed the states rights party and were marginalized at the national level for several decades.
Key points in the shift to the structure we know today:
1896: William Jennings Bryan incorporates the Populist Party vote, giving the democrats a sizable left wing on economics that it didn't have before.
1912: Theodore Roosevelt breaks from the republicans and runs as the candidate of the Progressive Party - this makes the republican progressive wing - once a third to a half of the republican coalition, much less committed to the party going forward and they never really reconcile. Republican leadership comes more and more from its conservative wing after that.
1932-45: Franklin Roosevelt essentially adopts most of the old Progressive platform and pretty much incorporates that whole vote into his Democratic coalition. This puts the party on a collision course when it comes to social policy.
1964: Lyndon Johnson essentially divorces the longest marriage the democratic party had: the one with southern whites. By making Civil Rights part of the Democratic platform, the republicans lose basically all of what's left of their black constituencies - which had been a significant part of their remaining progressive vote in northern urban areas. The democrats start to hemorrhage southern whites rapidly - you see George Wallace run for pres

its neither well known nor true. this is no different than when when you insisted we were doing nothing about ISIS, even though at the time of that comment we had been bombing them for over a year.
you want Occam's razor? ok: you're a troll who revels in his ignorance.
actually tracking down all the known cases of actual fraud. less than 50 cases out of a billion votes over a 14 year period. its several orders of magnitude below the threshold needed to actually impact an election.
therefore, as justification in disenfranching a few hundred thousand legitimate voters in the process, it is somewhat lacking.
Canada also far more worker protections in addition to higher incomes and far better mass transit, thus, they don't suffer from the same problems or to the same degree as our poor and low income voters do in meeting the requirement.
um....you know dropboxes and ballots are anonymous right? once you remove the ballot from the envelope used ot send it to you, its no longer connected to you. this is not a difficult concept.
again: Oregeon and several locations have both Unions AND mail-in voting. and they don't have these issues you keep creating in your head.
just the in person voter fraud that voter IDs don't actually stop, because it doesn't exist, this is a problem that only exists in your head.
just because you are too ignorant to understand how its done, doesn't mean it cant be done.
yes, I do love seeing more and more dirt pile up on Trump, while the GOP continues to swing and miss at Clinton. the inevitable Clinton landslide is getting larger every day.
-If the person is able to maintain multiple voter registrations without being caught, then having an ID requirement isn't going to stop him. -if he can get multiple registrations, he can get multiple IDs.
-when the people who have trouble getting IDs, a problem that arises because of poverty/low income, begin flying on airplanes regularly, you let me know.
-a reasonable person would conclude that someone screwed up. only nutters see conspiracies everywhere. now that they ARE citizens though, we cant really take it away. theres no mechanism for doing that (only for when its gained fraudulently, but if they had no part in someone else's screwup, we're stuck with em)
-convicted felons who have served their time and re-entered society. if you want them to be perpetually punished, don't let them out of prison. also, ex-con party affiliation is not statistically deviant from the population at large.

that's not proof of bias jackass.
proof of bias would be if you could disprove their conclusion of those statements.
which you are totally free to attempt to do.
until you can prove politifact wrong, the fact that the democrats are telling fewer untrue statements than the GOP isn't a sign of bias.

and no one in all the places that use mail voting has ever solved or thought of these problems before, right?
do try to learn something before speaking.
are you and ChrisMaple in a competition to see who can out-sexist the other?
so not only are you racist, but you're sexist too?
good to know.
