Maybe he can run for Prez one day, and then you can complete the slide into oblivion by having Charles in Charge.

But then, she hasnât really left? Didnât Clinton just put her at the center of her campaign efforts?

Yeah, she made her an honorary chair of her campaignâs 50-state program (please ignore loud popping sound of my head exploding). This was where she belonged in Feb., rather than in the DNC, but not at all where she belongs now.

My question is this. When they are swearing in FĂźhrerâŚum I mean President Trump, will all of the people who said they wouldnât vote for Hillary be shocked that he won and saying that their write in vote for Bernie should have counted or will they be saying âI should have voted for her just to stop him?â
Because based on what I am seeing in social media, this country will have 4 years of Trump and good bye USA.

I surprised anyone in Texas even notices the rest of the USA.
Apparently thereâs a class-action brewing against the DNC for allegedly rigging the nomination: http://usuncut.com/resistance/bernie-sanders-supporters-are-suing-dnc (havenât heard of the news source before so I donât know how accurate it is)

Are the Gaslight films still regarded well, or are they just problematic (and not in an interesting way)
It would be super awesome if this case makes it all the way to Donald Trumpâs supreme court.

Regardless, itâs the optics that are absolutely hideous. Not a great time to be alienating the part of the base that are already pissed by rewarding one of the most loathed members of the DNC.

The Texas Observer is probably the most progressive paper in the state. Theyâre based in The Peopleâs Republic of Austin, so theyâre not real Texans.

DWS has done the job she was sent to do; now sheâs returned to base.

I havenât heard anything about the movie not aging wellâŚbut why do you say Gaslight filmS? Was there more than one?
The 1944 remake is the better known film.

She probably has to. Tim Canovaâs still doing a good job of running for her seat.

I know I sound exactly like some anti-Obama malcontents when I say this, but: I refuse to refer to this man with an honorary. Not even âMr.â. However, I also donât want to follow in the footsteps of said malcontents who refused to address Obama as âPresidentâ.
âOur Caudilloâ slides off the tongue pretty nicely, and without invoking Godwinâs Law.
I hope I never have to use it.

Here are the two party platforms, for contrast:
[Republican Party Official Platform, 2016] (https://prod-static-ngop-pbl.s3.amazonaws.com/media/documents/DRAFT_12_FINAL[1]-ben_1468872234.pdf)
[Democratic Party Official Platform, 2016] (https://www.demconvention.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Democratic-Party-Platform-7.21.16-no-lines.pdf)
Just from the preambles, the biggest two differences I see are:
- Republicans believe that the rights granted by God and the Constitution are immutable and should not be tampered with, while Democrats believe that things should be changed as needed to make things better. So, the difference between conservativism and progressivism.
- Republicans believe that freedom is the highest ideal to strive for, and that you canât fix problems by regulating them away, while Democrats believe that regulation is needed to combat inequality and corruption. So, the difference between free-market capitalism and social democracy.
Iâm sure that there are lost more interesting contrasts that would be noticed by a keen eye comparing the two side-by-side, but Iâm not going through each line-by-line to find all of the interesting tidbits.
