Bloomberg could take votes from Hilary, I think.
I think he definitely could, people see him as a moderate. And a lot of people hate Hilary.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And a lot of people hate Hilary.
That's what I don't get, that some people hate her so much that they'd rather vote for Trump. The misogyny on display is really depressing.

She's a Clinton, and that means she's the devil.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah.

Yeah, I recall a good bit of the hate coming not from misogyny, but resentment that she and Bill came to power as progressives when by rights anyone coming from a backwater state in the South should be firmly mired in the 19th century. The "she should know her place" seems divided between her being a woman and having been First Lady of a small state in the middle of the country rather than the coasts or Texas.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Doesn't really make any more sense, that.

"How dare these hicks from the Ozarks act like they're the equals of world leaders--and be respected in return!" Classism runs deep in this country as well, defined by money and contacts.

Yeah, America is not a classless society, our classes just aren't defined by titles and hereditary landownership.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Because of the TV show, I've been thinking about the OJ trial a lot lately, and I'm amazed at what a perfect shitstorm of race, gender, and class it was. It just brought to the foreground everything that Americans like to pretend doesn't exist.
