No, I'm saying the internet make it easier for thoughtlessness and sloth to get wider airplay than they deserve.

Maybe you are losing your shit, and almost certainly your sense of perspective? It's like me getting all upset about what folk on a Dallas cowboys forum are saying about Boris johnson

No, that doesn't apply to me, nor to you. I've already put a lot of thought into my opinion, and you're a misanthrope who doesn't have any, other than misery loves company. You have a lot in common with my mother-in-law, RIP.

I'm not sure where misanthrope is and I've not met your mother in law. Is it near Ashton?

From what I've seen of her.
Not much I admit, but she seems to be someone who doesn't really "get" what she is trying to impart. Which worries me about her

If perhaps you'd done little bit more digging before you formed an opinion, instead of making a knee-jerk judgement based off what certain elements of the mainstream media want you to see, you might have come to a different conclusion about her. She is poles apart from the Republican candidate.

Maybe start with her Wikipedia page?

JFK was young, handsome, rich, well-spoken, probably had organiz(s)ed crime help him win the election, had the sexual mores of a sewer rat, and was cut down before he had chances to make any really big policy mistakes.

In other words, no candidate of today can compete with a mythological character. That's what happened.

Tell me who this magical creature is/could be today and I'll vote for him/her.

Kennedy had the good fortune to “die young and stay pretty.”

In life, that’s bad. But, in the minds of the mindless vacuum of American politics, it’s great! Ironically, the other person that immediately springs to mind in this way is Marilyn Monroe, who will forever be this troubled ingenue who got mixed up with politics in the most dubious way possible, but will never age in the American mind space of “blonde bombshell.”

However, actually walk around on earth for a while and you’re not only going to leave tracks, but also a record of the how, when and why of how you came to chart that path. Some don’t need much to create an entire narrative from such flimsy evidence of your journey, but it won’t stop them espousing their suppositions as “facts,” alternative or not.

To most people, the strong record of progression, especially on paper, of someone with her record of accomplishments should not only be lauded, but held up as an example of “The American Dream.”

However, if you choose an Indian-Jamaican fatherless woman to play the lead role in that story, you quickly realize that almost half the country thinks not only did she climb those stairs on her knees but, if she came out the other end with a smile and a quick laugh, she could not only not have much between her ears, but also have knee pads that must be almost worn out by now.

Couple this with the craven “swallow to the top” narrative, the “knowledge” that her ascension must be part of a Soros-funded, socialist plot to try to take away the rights of white, misogynistic, self-centered Neanderthal males, who believe (nay, “know”) that in a world they created, this could not be possible on merit alone, and voila! A fully formed caricature emerges for your mindless enjoyment!

A woman in politics with a mind her own?
Uh huh, suuuuure! Who is the man giving her this chance, because we know she didn’t get it from sweat or toil, unless it was on her knees or back…amirite?!

All of that said, even to many of her new found admirers, the years and years of recorded public service are still not as important as “Why won’t you answer questions from a politically motivated, clickbait-driven, ‘journalist’ trying to make a name for themselves by steering you to trip over yourself, embarrass yourself, or somehow demean yourself in front of a camera that will not only record it for posterity, but replay it every time your name is raised for any remotely positive manner?”

“What are you afraid of?”

In today’s world, it’s not enough to lay your record bare, show some humanity lest it be considered weakness, or lay out a vision. Rather, you must genuflect or simply lay yourself out, prostrate, for the celebrity commentators to attempt to gain an even greater hold on what little is left of the political consciousness or conscience of the American voter.

“Yes, yes, we heard all about your 50 years of toil to get to this point, but what the people REALLY want to know is what I frame for them to want to REALLY know about you!”

Never been a big fan of manifestos for Presidents, because they have almost no power to enact policy or politics, without a pocketed Congress. Yet, even if one tries to use one for the purpose of “getting out the message,” it gets pilloried for not being specific enough, a fully vetted payment plan not being provided, or the right language du jour used to describe some aspect of it not being used!

Harris is attempting to use her 3.5 yrs of “you know I’ve been your VP, but you haven’t witnessed me in action” as a positive forward step rather than the negative sentiment that comes from “I DO know you’ve been VP for 3.5 yrs, where the fuck have you been and why the inaction?” But, narrative drives coverage and the overwhelmingly poor education of the American voter simply doesn’t create the inquisitiveness, let alone energy, to discover the truth for themselves.

“Here kitty, kitty, kitty…have some of what we want to feed you, you’ll love it!”

…and here we sit, dueling narratives on each candidate, and some wildly false equivalency attempting to be created to make it seem like BOTH people have a few weakness, blind spots and vulnerabilities, so there’s no real difference between them, so it should be a close race…when it REALLY shouldn’t, because one of them is an unhinged, uneducated narcissistic sociopath who shouldn’t be given sharp objects, let alone the nuclear launch codes, while the other one is an accomplished woman who has climbed to the pinnacle of the American Dream pyramid!

Oh wait, I said the “w” word and ruined it all! We NEED a “strong man” to dance with the world’s despots, right, even if Ginger Rodgers is available and warmed up ready to go!
