But the beauty of the system is that as long as more than 50% of the people who vote don’t think that way (as long as they aren’t all concentrated in the wrong place, of course), she’s good.

Yet when all was said and done, more Americans voted for Hilary than Trump, and the ones who stayed at home figured it was going to be a slam dunk anyhow. If she and her party had put a little more effort into certain areas, some of whom apparently had to problem with a black man as president, maybe things might have…

I finally got to watch A Clockwork Orange when I was well beyond my teenaged years, and it was a tough watch. I’m glad I got to see it, but I’m not sure I want to do that again.

You also have Maime Bernier and his band of populist loons this time, so we’ll see how many Conservative votes he siphons off.

And Canadian centrist still works out to full on American leftist.

The NDP got in because the conservative votes were split between two right wing parties. The two parties united for the next election, so the actual votes didn’t really change, but they all went to one place this time.

“Politics is the art by which politicians obtain campaign contributions from the rich and votes from the poor on the pretext of protecting each from the other,”

Works for me.

Cultural appropriation? Seriously? Is there anything we eat that doesn’t come from somewhere else?

KFC, you did chicken wrong.

Yes, we should elect leader who will be young enough to do the job, but it should be up to the voters to decide how old is too old.

Reagan’s was a darling of the right because he used to be a liberal, but he had seen the light.  Everyone loves a reformed sinner.

Furry fandom does overlap with anime and Disney fandom, so there is bound to be some style overlap, and anime does seem to be the default art style for all fandoms lately.

I’m going to suggest that back in the day, just like in the West, and just like today, you got a few flashes of genius in a sea of formula ridden hacks.

Is there an issue that people have not become an annoying smug git about?

Yes, that’s the thing.  Some movies are too short at three hours.  Some are too long at 90 minutes.

That is the fundamental problem with the echo chambers that we like to sequester ourselves in. As comforting as it may be associate with people who share your interests, they also tend to be the intellectual equivalent of letting cousins marry.

Pretty much bang on. Of course, when all that stuff from the “good old days” was new, people would moan about it too.

I’m going with an actual monkey with a machine gun.

I’m not seeing a problem here.  We could use a few more bubble cars and rocket ships.
