Didn’t Obama basically have the same platform? If anything, Hillary ran on healthcare for all while Obama didn’t in 2008. He’s certainly more charismatic and had the image of “not a typical politician”, which helped him win that primary, plus but I think he benefited from W’s economic mess and McCain unwillingness to be an asshole on the campaign trail, unlike Trump with Hillary and Kamala

But honestly, I’m speaking anecdotally. It’s been extremely depressing how many people have told me that a woman can’t be president because being on her period will make her nuke china. But maybe people just think it’s okay to be sexist out loud more than racist these days.

I hope you’re right. I feel this country’s rampant sexism is far worse than its rampant racism. Either way, AOC is facing both forms of bigotry

Dumbfucks are still waving the confederate flag, so ya, ol’ Ulysses didn’t quite finish the job

Let’s not forget the time a United flight was overbooked and picked a random guy to take off the plane even though he was already in his seat. He refused and the passenger was beaten unconscious and dragged out on his back https://youtu.be/VrDWY6C1178

I don’t think it matters. The people who voted for him could watch Trump shoot their spouse in the face and still be like “ya but he tells it like it is.”

Gawd dayum

“Mario Twins” I think it was called. A silly flash video by Group X from the early days of the internet

I realize it’s just a joke, but from someone whose hangovers were so bad, I literally almost killed myself, I don’t recommend alcohol as medication. Fortunately I’m five years sober and been in therapy since my last drink, so there's that in case anyone needed to hear it

As Homer Simpson says; it’s the cause of and solution to all of life’s problems

Australia did it in 1996 and has only had one mass shooting since then in 2018

Let a man dream, would ya?

Golden Eye is the GOAT

Truly our greatest tradition

Not with that attitude

It’s not the polls he’d worry about, it’s the billionaires funding his opponents. Now that he’s retiring, he doesn’t have to deal with campaign fundraising

Thank you! Come on, people!

Same thing with W. So many conservatives shit on him and Cheney now, but it wasn’t long ago they were all frothing at the mouth for that bullshit war in Iraq

And it’s been a joke the whole time. The only difference now is no one’s been this blatant with their abuse of the judicial system

How does it feel to work in that kind of field? Sounds soul crushing

Honestly what else is there to do? These people aren’t exactly going to change their minds, and letting them display hate in the name of free speech is only going to help them mobilize and elect more trumps in the world.
