It's a shame that, of all the alternatives, capitalism still somehow manages to be the least dysfunctional economics system, at least when regulated properly.

Ha Thump!
"I redefine 'normal' and 'low expectations' daily." Exactly! I keep telling myself that if Clinton had won, she would have faced constant Repugnican obstructionism. She would not have been able to get anything done. And after things swing vaguely left-wing for 8 years, the pendulum was bound to swing the other way. So there could be a silver lining here. All of America is now getting to watch immoral sociopathic narcissistic idiot monsters spectacularly fail at everything they attempt. So unless these shitheads actually start WWIII there isn't a whole lot that the next administration won't be able to fix.

It was so for me when my fellow citizens went ga-ga over Obama and then were oblivious enough to support Clinton. I am sure there were many reasons why people voted for Clinton, but certainly a continuance of Obama's Progressive agenda was a big one. That is what he thought, too.

Obama had a progressive agenda?
To be honest I have tuned out for the most part. Listening to stories about this man gives me headaches and makes me angry. It is the same thing when listening to him speak. It's insulting.

Relative to what's reasonable to the rest of the developed nations of the world, not so much. I suppose we're just using different yardsticks. Don't get me wrong, I like the man, I just don't think he was nearly as progressive as what he campaigned as.

He has given me an even lower opinion for the American voter than I previously had. And I literally lost ten trillion dollars in investments when the stock market went into free-fall Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" |
