A huge reason why this country is so fucked is the Republican Party. The wars and economic collapse you speak of was largely brought about by the Republicans. So to suggest that the answer might be to let a Republican control the country is bonkers to me. The better idea is to elect a Democrat and for us to organize…

Also what kind of revolution is she talking about? A bloody revolution? Because that's what I envision happening and no I'm not interested in that.

Hillary Clinton is not against a $15 min wage. She supports a $12 min wage at the federal level. Her rationale is that certain areas would be harmed by a higher min wage (like smaller, lower cost of living towns). She supports a $15 min wage for cities and states that wish to pass it. I don't know if her rationale is…

The Nixon stuff is old news and well-known but I’m glad it’s getting another look.

He's a narcissist really. And an asshole, clearly. The way he talks to people really reminds me of my dad. Who is both.

Black people want a democrat to win the presidency. They know that Hillary has a much better chance of doing so. A Trump presidency would be very bad news for all people, but especially people of color. We know that. I personally agree more with Bernie’s ideology but I voted for Clinton because I think she's more…

But the opposite could be said too. Gillian never left the show but I can guarantee ratings would have dropped if she left and David stayed. People watched the show for the 2 of them together.

Except if she had left the show I guarantee there would have been the same problem. If anything she's been more loyal to the show and should get paid more.

I do see the parallels. But I see Luke as more of an Obi Wan character than Han. I guess that’s part of why I don’t think the stories are That similar beyond their structure.

But Han is really nothing like Obi Wan.

If they do get together. Highly doubt that will happen. If anything it will be the inverse. She is clearly the protagonist.

But that makes sense I could see that.

Where did you read that?

I dunno I wasn’t distracted. I was more interested in the characters and relationships than the details of the politics. I think that was intentional but I see your point too.

I think the Resistance is just trying to find Luke to restore balance.

I think the Resistance is just trying to find Luke/stop the First Order from destroying him. The Resistance is helped by the Republic govt but the Resistance goals are broader and not really political.

They don’t explain the politics because they aren’t really important. The story is not about politics - it’s about a person, Luke. The Resistance is trying to find Luke to restore balance to the universe. The New Republic supports the Resistance but this isn’t about the Republic, it’s about a much broader issue of…

Yes, yes I did.

I'm so jealous!!
