Just the ones that are wrong.
I'm actually liberal myself. I don't like war. I believe in progress. I think people should be free to be whomever they want to be. (As long as it doesn't harm others). I like Bernie Sanders, and I think all of his flaws would be easily halted and managed by congress holding the purse strings. Damn shame the youth simply didn't get out and vote. They get what they deserve I guess.

But I hold science as the pinnacle of human achievement. It is our best way forward to discovering the truth. And I'm downright religious about the truth.

The concept of "Race" as commonly held, is not all made-up make believe. To say otherwise, to denounce what is VERY APPARENT and MEASURABLY PROVABLE is costing democrats political capital and it's driving people into the arms of the anti-science crowd. We simply can't afford to be wrong. I know there have been a lot of race issues. I understand the statistics aren't so convenient. I'd even say that a harping too much on all this is taboo and not the best for society. It really would be better if we glossed over it and moved on. But to reject the truth is far FAR more dangerous. To accept that little delusion. That wedge in an otherwise solid foundation of verifiable truth that underpin scientific knowledge. That path is far more dangerous and leads to madness.

The correct response to all of this is along the lines of "Yes, the races loosely correlate [it's not loose, but that's the progressive spin] to the genetics and everyone's historical lineage, but we're moving beyond that and everyone is interbreeding with everyone else and we're all one species. Our differences within our groupings far exceed the differences between groups. Society works better if we look past those differences and work together with fellow humans rather than bicker between different races, which really aren't so different in the end."
