There is a massive niche for a "Roger and Me" type candidate from either party. Along those lines, I feel like any candidate from either party could stroll into the White House if they promised a bi-partisan administration that respected concerns from all over the spectrum.
The reason neither of these will ever happen…

And most of those people probably end up extremely successful.

To be fair, she'd probably have been a helluva successful lawyer. She was no joke before she met Bill….I mean, without him she probably couldn't reach the White House without a tour group, but she's the type that got straight A's at Yale Law - a force in her own right.

Richard Pryor had family friends that ran clubs in town when he was starting up. He did need the right connections, that's no joke.

Of course….the Clintons and DNC spent years corralling all the power players and whales, making sure they were all locked in. Scared most other candidates out of the races. That's the corruption here - pushing an unpopular, unproven candidate onto us. This nomination was acquired in backrooms, not at the polls.

"Imagine paying $50 to see a comedian and he spent ten minutes telling you why it's important to recycle"

Now that is pitiful. Passive-aggressive, arrogant, oblivious….right on Amy!

Have a good day.

Read Matt Taibbi's amazing piece in Rolling Stone a week or two ago….he posits that Trump did major damage to protest candidates. Says this election will entrench the establishment more than ever with Hillary's coronation.

I spent years in the zone, 100% self-righteous and convinced everyone else was an idiot. Ironically its a function of being insecure deep down and unwilling to admit what you don't know. There is a certain obliviousness about it that makes it difficult to criticize the people too hard, we have no idea what we're…

His skill at reading facial microexpressions would be rare, something like 1 in 20,000 have the talent to see the tiny tics he mentions.
That said, giving a robot the ability to not only see but interpret emotions like that - or the 2nd order effects of hiding such emotions - would seem to be well above the…

Nowhere to go narratively……..when I'm watching this show I'm thinking they could do 20 seasons of it. There seems to be almost infinite potential in the robot/human interactions. Though I suppose in 10 years a lot of it could look quaint.

"I seen as much misery outta those movin to justify themselves as them who set out to cause harm."

Sure I can agree with a lot of this. I don't think they are exact parallel situations, there are a lot of similarities and differences. I would say there are more similarities in how the opposition is reacting toward the candidates.
Consider perspectives….I'm not sure Bill Clinton is entirely blameless for his role. …

This has to be a parody.

I think the celebrity takedown culture was part of the first draft of the US constitution….they took it out but its been fundamental since the beginning. Effing King George.

You know how republicans have this incredible, unhinged hate for Hillary Clinton? Its because of stuff like this - years of the right-wing hate machine just trashing her and her husband every day, every opportunity (or whatever, really) on any basis….to the point that decades later merely mentioning her name makes…

I have trouble keeping things like this in context and perspective. You read something like this and just pity people and society, that people have such low self-esteem they need to trod on the daily villain to keep themselves happy. But really, its like poison or driving…..it takes relatively few noisy losers to…

hate….hate…..Hate….>HATE!!!!

I'm not sure about the motivation, but it amounts to a sort of "safe space" for lefties, somewhere where we can just unleash all our anger and frustration on Trump. But mission accomplished, whatever it is.
