Who is dumber, those who brought into Hillary's pr, steve jobs, or elon musks

I think I hate Steve Jobs cultists the most, honestly. He wasn't even an inventor or all that good with technology. He was a sales and marketing guy, plain and simple. I hate marketing people. They get all the money to blow on whatever they want, but they are always without fail, the dumbest people in any given company. Steve Jobs is proof if this because he figured doing yoga and eating fruit would cure his cancer. He was also a deadbeat dad, a thief and a dick to his employees. Good riddance.

Plus Apple products are overpriced and mainly for stupid old people and even stupider hipsters.

Ayn Rand is pretty ugly, I wouldn't bang her. She's also dead, which is for the best.

However Lauren Southern is pretty physically attractive though even though her soul is black as tar.

Which begs the question, "would you gently caress a hot chick even if she was a Nazi?" To honest I'm not sure, man. You wind up in a conundrum where your brain says no, your heart says gently caress no, but your wang is doing a hitler salute and even though you're telling it to stop it just won't listen.

However on the bright side, you're not likely to wind up in that situation because your average nazi looks like they've been doing meth all their life, probably because they've been doing meth all their life.

Probably because some of that giant pile of money they dumped on the table slipped and landed in Daley's pocket. And in a briefcase coincidentally labeled "for the mayor." And in a wire titled "bribe money for the mayor to let us buy all the parking meters"

They want progressive votes but oligarchic funding.

They're still pushing the same poo poo Hillary was pushing, too:
https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow/status/902973802207862784

quote:

This is the democrats. hehe. That's kinda who they are. They're very disorganized. The Democrats are not, they're not good at the sort of go for the jugular, hard nosed politics as they use to be. Back when the democrats use to be more of an ethnic party. Ethnic white. Ethnic black. Ethnic party generally.

Now they're a party looking for consensus. And they look for it so desperately that they never really come up with a coherent framework for themselves.

Because democrats...they understand, that deep down, they're the party of black and brown people. Of gay people. Of marginalized people.

They still long to be the party of the Pabst Blue Ribbon voter. The kind of Coors Light drinking voter.

[host: couldn't they be both? why can't they be both?]

Because those voters are republicans. They just are.

[host: you can say that definitively? across the board?]

Yeah! That vote has migrated from being a democratic party vote to a republican party vote and has done so for the last 40 years. Democrats just can't accept it.

So they don't understand that the voters they long to have back. The voters who, these sort of Archie Bunker voter, who was a democrat in the 70s is now a republican. So they can long for them all they want but they're not going to convince someone by saying "we'll give you free college". That's not why they're voting.

They're voting for, let me put it this way, people say "why do people vote against their economic interest? why do they vote values?" Democrats vote against their economic interest. If you live in New York, if you make New York salary, you're voting against your economic interest whenever you vote for Democrats. They'll raise your taxes. You vote your values. So why don't you think the people on the other side do the same? They're not voting economics. They're voting because the republican party represents their values. They don't care about the economics.

So democrats keep trying to use economics lures to pull them back in but that's not why they're voting that way.

tl;dr: "Economics is for racists"

Bernie was literally about to deliver the democrats that alienated working class, or at least the left leaning part of it.

Now they're pretending it can't be done because it affects their bottom line.

God dammit i hate democrats way more than republicans right now, and lots of republicans would prefer to drag me in chains behind a truck for some of my sexual preferences, and somehow the democrats are still worse.

uh you're stupid. she only lost 1.42m obama voters in the rust belt, while comey and russia lost her the crucial 0.08m voters that would have flipped the race. this was entirely determined by external interference.
