  • This is true but less interesting to me because I once had a job in a bakery making blueberry muffins. I had 50 lb bags of frozen blueberries that upon opening, would emit large clouds of blueberry aroma. Day after day, thousands of pounds of blueberries, so much blueberry vapor. I grew to hate the smell. I begged to be put on some other kind of muffin, but nope, I was the youngest and therefore lowest status in the bakery. So I'm not really a fan of blueberries.

    Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

  • But if you have some kind of plan for how I could reform the entire industry by quitting my job at the bottom rung of a middling insurance company, I'll gladly do it.

    Translation: Someone else has to be responsible for fixing everything before I will take any responsibility for my participation in the obviously corrupt and exploitive system.

  • That worst candidate didn't win by a landslide either time, so I don't think it's fair to say America will never vote for a woman. Lots of Americans did vote for a woman. According to CNN: "More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history."

    People forget that aside from the email bullshit, it was widely reported that Clinton received something like 26 million dollars for speaking engagements, behind closed doors to bankers and American robber barons. Some parts of her speeches were leaked, but she never released any transcripts. I think that fueled voter apathy and "both sides the same" feeling for a lot of people, including two-income families struggling to make ends meet.

    You think if a man had done the same, no-one except Bernie Sanders would care?

    As for the second strong capable woman, I voted for her, despite her seeming support for the ongoing genocide. I'm not convinced that election was legit.

  • Meanwhile, with a compromised press and Trump ignoring any judicial ruling he dislikes, the Democrats are still no help. They’re nearly as crazy as Trump if they think that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could be a viable presidential candidate. No matter what they think of her policies, very few Republicans who despise Trump would vote for her. “I wouldn’t,” my White House source told me. “I’m not crazy. The far left is as bad as the far right, and they’re the reason I voted for Trump.” There are plenty of moderate Democrats who agree.

    Imagine thinking AOC is far left. Ok now imagine thinking that kind of far left is just as bad as the far right.

    Like for example, informing people of their constitutional rights, advocating for things like accessible Healthcare and protections for workers is every but as bad as shipping people off without due process to El Salvador prison where they'll die, grabbed by a militarized and masked police force that snatches people off the street, or from their homes or school.

    Somehow it's the fault of the democrats who won't accept moderate Republicans. But also there are plenty of moderate democrats that agree that the far left is just as bad.

    Well it's amazing that insiders are finally able to suspect something is wrong, but they are still so gripped by cult doctrine they can't make any progress.
