Thanks to hate
shitmystudentswrite:
We’re all human, so we have to hate, it’s one of our flaws. But we can hate as little as we can if you apply yourself to. Without hate, Martin Luther King Jr. Would be alive. Mohamat Gandhi would be alive. John F. Kennedy would’ve made more changes to the world and be alive. Abraham Lincoln would’ve ended segregation for blacks and be alive. Many people we don’t know about...

Ha I lost my wallet last Monday (after too many Thatcher-bratory White Russians), cancelled all my cards, and then found it this morning down the back of the TV cabinet. And it still had no money in when I found it!

Well, the election system is broken enough that 1) the popular vote doesn’t matter, & 2) Even if 3rd party candidates meet the necessary criteria, the election committee (Reps. & Dems.) change the rules after the fact, & bar them from debates anyway.
Well that about sums it up … except for...

I voted for Jill Stein. Before that, Bob Barr. I’ll vote, but never for the duopoly, unless I’m sure it’s someone who’s not corrupted by greed, politics or their peers.
