Surprise, surprise. Boring white centrists are kinda racist.

They do the same thing to working class people. The working class is interpreted by them as white, even though a higher percentage of Blacks and Latinos work in low-wage blue-collar work.

Oh yeah just look no further than how they've all managed to make unions all racist because of the hardhat riot. So now all unions are right wing regardless of the actual history or membership that isn't homogenous politically

So here's an interesting article that posits Trump is ruling like a 19th century forgettable president in the 21st century. Now what I think is funny is you read this article and shy l see how much v mote powerful the Presidency is today and you have to just scoff at the idea that Obama just didn't have the power to do what he wanted.

I think that picture looks OK. More natural than her campaign pics by far.

BTW, looking for her campaign photos, I found a delightful article - What Higher Ed Marketers Can Learn From the Hillary Clinton Campaign
https://blogs.ou.edu/webcomm/2015/08/14/what-higher-ed-marketers-can-learn-from-the-hillary-clinton-campaign/

These are the things Hillary did that should be followed by professional marketers:
- She created a Spotify playlist! "They’ve actually worked with Spotify to create branded playlists, like the “Team USA” playlist. I love it when marketers do this: They take something everyone is excited about, and they show their audience how they’re excited about it, too."
- She used Snapchat!
- She used Snapchat again! “Yaaas, Hillary!” Back to that Snap for a sec: Who really thought the U.S. Secretary of State would embrace this affirmative rallying cry of millennials everywhere? I’m talking about the “yaaas.” Hill, look at you speaking the language of the youths and nailing it."
- She had a custom 404 page!
- She used emojis and only one font!
- She had gifs! Clinton understands. "We love GIFs. They make us laugh, break up the monotony of our Twitter timelines and remind us of our favorite pop culture moments. When used at the right time, they have the ability to elevate a tweet or Instagram post to Internet gold."

So remember folks, if u want to become president, make sure ur campaign uses the most transparent, out of touch pandering methods in existence, and you'll be golden.

This post makes me want to kill myself
