  • I’m pessimistic and hope I’m wrong, but I think we might be underestimating the pull of racism/sexism that still exists.

    I feel like if we put Kamala at the top of the ticket, she’d need a really strong and ‘traditional’ running mate. Like, this guys got to be the straightest, whitest and richest guy you’ve ever seen. I kinda feel like they’ve been exploring that with a lot of top democratic people meeting with Biden lately.



  • This is like when someone tells a depressed person ‘just dont be sad’ but I’ve had tinnitus for over a decade, mine could potentially be minor.

    Dedicating a good amount of time to telling myself over and over that the noise didn’t exist in my head really helped my ability to deal with it. I don’t ever think about it or notice it unless someone says the word tinnitus and my brain keys in on it. If you haven’t heard about it before, the drumming on the back of your skill trick is also a real (if very temporary) fix for me and a lot of other people I’ve talked to.









  • I think people underestimate how much the Clinton name helped her even when the sexism hurt her. Beyond maybe Michelle Obama now, I can’t think of any other woman out there likely to perform as well as Hilary did. During the race, I heard more than one person make comments along the lines of “If she’s in trouble, she can just call her husband”. She definitely got a lot more points from the Clinton name than she lost for being a woman. It’s a sad world sometimes, yall.

    I personally think Bill Clinton’s brother Roger could have won that race even with all his controversies and the fact that he has zero qualifications.




  • It’s kind of sad, but we have to temper expectations on both of the candidates. These two both hit retirement age over a decade ago and we’re trying to put them in potentially the most stressful job in the nation.

    • Hostilities were mostly over, but these two were technically alive during World War 2.
    • The first meeting of the United Nations was after these two were born.
    • The current incarnation of India as a country is younger than these two.
    • They’re both older than NATO.
    • We only had 48 states when these two were born.
    • These two were already out of high school when Martin Luther King delivered his speech.

    I could just keep going forever on these. I am not sure that this is the job for anyone so far removed from their prime.
