Awesome, glad I saved my redneck street cred with the judicious application of strategic hat choice.
Getting back to what we were bsin about, though....I'm hard pressed to find a candidate who does more to effect the changes we might want than the people down at the bottom digging the holes, mortaring the cracks. Does hillary do more for children and families (she loves hammering that one) than those families have done for themselves and their children? More than local food banks, business owners, or charitable organizations? Does she do anything at all, or does she just claim credit for the work those people do in order to aggrandize herself as a political candidate who's worthy of our vote? I'd ask the same of trump, but that fucker doesn't do anything to begin with...so, lol? It just seems like an artifact of a time when the men on high handed down scraps and favors, and we were all hostages to their whims and ticks. I don;t think that;s actually the case anymore, though I can see why those on high would be incentivized to either promote the narrative by presenting themselves as the man come to save us from ourselves....or at the very least by allowing conned people to perpetuate that very same notion without correcting our mis-perceptions.
What's it going to take, I wonder, to get people to abandon the top down dream....expressed in a hundred ways (from trickle down economics to the anti-establishment candidate be it bernie or trump, or the stiff cuff of hillary's jacket, lol)?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
