"I ran a robot campaign based on metrics with no emotion, cheated a more popular candidate out of the nomination, cheated against the other candidate in the debates, and promised to wholeheartedly embrace the corporate dystopia that threatens to ruin our civilization. Then I lost."

I shudder to think how many young potential leaders within the party have been quashed over the years to ensure a smooth induction for Clinton.

I just read a book about the Emperor Augustus (of Rome, obv). He did the same poo poo, he ruthlessly promoted his own chosen heirs while quashing the careers of individuals who were promising for the state, but not of the chosen clan.

Except Augusts was a talented and inspiring leader who launched a new era of prosperity and stability for the Roman Empire, whereas for Hillary the best case would be that she manages our decline such that we collapse slowly.

Augustus hosed up too, look at the emperors between him and Nerva.

Yeah him setting up heirs was no so good. But more importantly he changed the Roman senate and the administration of the empire such that state was strong enough and competent enough that it could stay solvent and effective even with a poor leader at the top.


Compare that to our senate lol.

Murder is a big no-no in human communities. Humans are known as "not murderers" for a reason. Anyone who murdered without cause would be ostracized from the community.

every so often I think about how Trump smashed multiple American dynasties, and humiliated the greatest political machine of the world's most powerful empire, because he was made fun of at a dinner party and I give a slightly awed LOL

I was going to use the expression "that's some Count Of Monte Cristo" poo poo then I realized he had one-upped that several times for a fraction of the reason. His feat of single-minded petty revenge surpasses all others in history or fiction, it literally could not even be imagined before he did it

Of our two candidates for President neither really wanted the office. One was running for it "just because" or out of a generic desire for power/status, and the other because his incredible vanity couldn't suffer a dinner joke at his expense. The latter of the two claimed victory.

Oh I'm pretty sure I saw that video. And yeah it was totally toothless and he didn't make it about gender at all.

I'm surprised and in fact skeptical that there was much controversy about it.

idk bioware is owned by EA and they have tons of gay people in them. but they are bioware so gay characters are either really good or really awful.

Remember in Star Wars: The Old Republic the game launched with only straight romances. But then they decided to add gay romances in an expansion, but to do so they pull all of the new gay characters on the new planet, Makeb. So you got a game with a galaxy full of straight folk except for Makeb, the very gay planet.

They are just blowing up isolated occurrences and portraying them as trends to paint a narrative.
