Y’all sang Smile extra hard this episode and I was here for every bit of it!
I’m totally in to watching brainfluff shows to forget about the bullshit going on in this world. Thank God for Netflix and Hulu or else I would have stabbed someone by now. There are a few shows I’d like to recommend that you might enjoy on Netflix: The Santa Clarita Diet, Nailed It and Big Mouth. Those shows aren’t that deep but i enjoy the hell out of them. I even watched the full Office series. I didn’t watch it when it was on television because I didn’t think it looked that interesting. But I was listening to the Read and they said the show was funny so i decided to give it a shot. I watched that series in a week. It is so funny, I even got my mama hooked. Also anything on Cartoon Network. Steven Universe if my favorite. And OK KO is pretty damn good as well. Those are shows I highly recommend.
Claps Hands at what Amani said above!!!
Five Stars!
Don’t apologize for being mad about this bullshit. None of this is new, we’re old enough to remember when folks were saying Gore and Bush were the same and it didn’t matter who won in 2000. Gore was too much of a corporate sellout and not liberal enough to vote for. Then we got stuck with eight years of Bush.
We’re old enough to remember when Howard Dean was too excitable to be president because he was happy he won a fucking primary, but John Kerry was too boring to vote for. Y’alls liberal fave Bernie Sanders wanted to primary fucking Obama in 2012 after Dems ran away from him and stayed home in 2010 and gave Republicans back congress in a Census year and handed away gerrymandering and voting rights for another decade if we’re lucky.
This shit isn’t a game. Folks taking their ball and going home if they don’t get the perfect candidate is killing people. And I’m still waiting on an explanation how not voting for someone because they could be better, and making way for a Trump who’s ten times worse on those same issues helps anyone. It doesn’t mean you stop fighting them on the racist and imperialist policies they trot out, but I promise you the other candidate has those same stances and worse, so what are we doing here?
We’re not picking a spouse where we can just stay single if you don’t find the right person, one of these niggas is gonna win. Too many folks are willing to shit on the better candidate because they’re not perfect and again and I’m fucking sick of it.
