Obama is more popular than Clinton with literally everyone, not just Catholics and POC.

And Catholics tend to really dislike Mormons.

Imagine Trump coming out and giving a victory speech the minute polls close on the east coast, assuming he is gonna win big, then flying back to new York and going to bed.

Yeah, no, trust me, I know. My mum's a black woman whose been in HR most of her life and the stories she tells are disheartening like gently caress.

Anybody who thinks HR is this independent organization from the company that works like internal affairs is insane. They're under no obligation to act and you'll never know what'll happen to your complaint.

About the only thing you can do is line up a new job, report to HR as a courtesy, keep running track of evidence, and then sue after you leave if necessary. Either way though "get a new less racist job" is usually the best answer.

YMMV on whether that's possible though :smith:

I expect at least once during the first debate Trump will say something he thinks is clever and wait a second for the applause before realizing that he's not at a rally or a primary debate.

In my personal best timeline, he gives his victory speech on Monday morning, retires to his coffin in a crypt somewhere in Central Park, and then awakens on Wednesday morning to discover that he got zero electoral votes, upon which he promptly bursts into flames.

I get that, and this is just one example of dozens of BLM groups diluting the message of "stop shooting unarmed black people".

A message that could be better furthered, I think, with central leadership.

If BLM has centralized leadership those leaders would be vilified, slandered, attacked, used to discredit the movement, and if all else failed, assassinated.

The lack of figurehead leadership is a deliberate and planned response to COINTELPRO and the treatment of past civil rights leaders. You can't give the establishment a target to attack or discredit.
