Most people did not vote for this. He did not even get 50% of the popular vote. Let's stop pretending the system doesn't stack the odds against the people. If we did that we wouldn't have been afraid to stack the courts, and so on.

I mean we should all be able to leave our desk to go pick up a prescription for ourselves or a family member. That's the problem, not that parents are the only ones with the privilege.

The discrimination in regards to parents is real. In an interview I was asked if I would be able to keep up with a demanding schedule because I have kids. In my experience, women with children get the opposite end of that consideration than with men being considered bread winners. This is messed up any way you slice it.

I was raised in a Christian private school back in the 90s. We were scared of gay people and little me thought it was because we were scared of being raped like in Sodom & Gomorrah. So I was surprised when the concern was not that we would get jumped by some gay man in the bathroom but between two consenting adults.

Now that's a block chain I would get behind. But could we not pollute the ocean with heavy metals?

Success is measured in how many billionaires it makes. I don't see the USPS making any billionaires. /s

We can say a lot of people are cynical like that, but we can also say even more people are turned off by that cynicism.

If the Dems think voters are dumb, then why do they campaign like only smart people would vote for them?

Some Dems are so cynical they do things they don't believe in because they believe it works.

They could also get money out of the primary process and that would have the largest impacts
