  • I’m just saying watch all their faces. Especially the bored looking ones. Right when she says “I don’t know who invented pokemon go…” They light up and look at each other and get excited. Not that they’re excited about Hilary.

    I definitely groaned. I remember her making a dumb fuck star wars reference at some point too that made me more angry than supportive. But you can’t make comments like “the vast majority of young voters saw it as pandering” as if that’s something verifiable. You just made it up hoping it’s true. I also hope it’s true. If they decided it’s pandering, it might have even been because their media told them so.

    I talk to too many people who use campaign ads during The Bachelor as their greatest source of information on candidates.

    FYI, The campaign coordinators also dropped a bunch of lures in the area and even chose the location because it’s a pokestop. Anyone who came hunting for Pokemon was met with volunteers holding voting registration sign ups.





  • Makes sense and sounds so nice

    We locally choose our very best to go represent our interests. And it would be in our interest to have an experienced, educated, honest judge. So one would think that our politician is spending time researching, discussing, and vetting along with the other best minds from around the country.

    But we never get to choose our best. Or at least our best is outnumbered and voiceless.

    I have been noticing and pondering this as well.

    My only thought is that perhaps, although it was shamed for a while, the people who used it at it’s peak have continued to use it in private settings. But now their children are of age that they are comfortable spouting it on the Internet and in person, thus bringing out anyone else who wants to say it, whether just to make people uncomfortable or they grew up with it, or otherwise don’t know any better or haven’t learned empathy
