Totally agree. HRC would’ve ensured macroeconomic stability as the Goldman Sachs-approved candidate.

I’m both a gay man and grew up in one of these dead-end towns in the Midwest.

I know, right?

Exactly. It’s not even the education.

I’m agreeing!

Are you joking?

Yup and yup.

This is really great and timely.

Sorry, no.

Well there you are, my dude.

Thanks for this.

Grieving?

Really? You really think this is going to be the beginning of some white supremacist takeover of the US?

Fuck fuck fuckity fuck:

There is no solution. Those jobs in rural areas and the exurbs and the small cities and small towns are gone: it wasn’t Mexico that stole them, it was technology.

I wouldn’t call the structural situation of Buffalo something that can be extrapolated to the entirety of the US.

There’s no “side” to international economic interconnection. It’s a fact, it is, in sum, what we call “modernity.”

But the issue is that that was/is not the optics. Look: Bill—HRC’s spouse—fucked over the poor by (1) signing Nafta, and (2) destroying welfare.

Um...HRC’s husband destroyed welfare during his term. And passed Nafta.

Or just being in Afghanistan?
