Make up your own ideas for groups. I'm sure it will increase traffic around here.

The right of prisoners to have the vote. Only if they'll be out before the next election. The right of prisoners to have children via artificial insemination. No. The right of individuals who promote hatred and intolerance to not be deported if their original country will not respect their human rights. Tough one. There clearly has to be a line drawn at some point, but I don't know what point that would be in this case. I feel like you're specifically referring to Arabian immigrants promoting terrorism, in which case I'd say get rid of them. The right to not be sentenced to life in prison. As in requesting death instead? Sure.

When it comes to priorities, for me personally it's simply the fact that you must have a stable and functioning economy before you can address social or environmental issues. I'm not saying they're unimportant, per se, merely that a rational expectation of and confidence in long-run prosperity and stability has to be there before you can realistically form policy about much else.
I have the same philosophy. It's just that we have been in a state of recovery for years now and the economy is very functional for the time being. In my opinion, environmental concerns are what need to be addressed immediately.

I'm talking about broad macroprudential policies, not microeconomic policies which affect a certain market.
Like, you could be in the midst of a depression and have one candidate who wants to raise taxes and one candidate who wants to lower them. If the latter is elected, and his policy leads to the end of the depression then the next candidate can't undo that. They could reverse the tax cuts--or even implement a rise from the original--and there would be a whole debate about it, but they couldn't alter the macroeconomic benefits already won by the prior tax cut.
I see your point, but how much of and effect does the president really have on macroeconomics and why would stances on social issues and the environment be considered unimportant by comparison?

Not really. . .
How not? I think every Republican candidate is dead set on repealing Obamacare asap.

Presidents really can't do that much to affect the social progress of the people.
Presidents can't single handedly fix the economy either. I don't expect the president to enforce social change but I would prefer to vote for someone who represents the values I believe in. Isn't that the point of politicians?

I want to know why you prioritise the things you do
Economic policies can be completely undone in four years by the next president, but social change will last forever. It makes sense to value a leader that would try to progress with these issues rather than ignore them.

I fully support the gay rights cause, but I wouldn't make that cake either.

Or we could just work to downplay this sports team mentality with particular parties that is rampant in modern politics.

When I was in first grade, on Halloween, me and my friend both had plastic swords and got into a sword fight. We both got our names put on the board without even a warning. To this day, I think that was a bullshit call.
This is just some next-level shit.

My second favorite Nolan film. Although the prestige for Nolan has dropped pretty significantly these past few years.
Are you kidding?
TDKR could have been better undoubtedly, but Interstellar is amazing
I liked it as well but it seems like everyone else thought it was mediocre at best.

If you're engrossed enough in the universe and have a good understanding of how things work, it's really not that big of a deal.
