Mathematicians jumping to conclusions. That doesn’t give one confidence in their math.

Nothing they do makes sense Philadelphia is a completely democrat minority city loaded with illegal immigrants.

It’s sad though that their minds have been polluted with leftist propaganda.

Remember the long ongoing Equal Rights Amendment battles? Many groups did virtue signaling by refusing to meet in states that voted against the ERA or were delaying voting for it.
