I think it's important that we see the enemy as they are and don't get caught up in mindless hatred for hatred's sake.

He did it before he became a Veep candidate.
Literally millions of books haven't. Have you ever actually been in a bookstore or library?
It's like saying every song has won a Grammy or every athlete has gone to the Olympics.
Hillbilly Elegy was a NY Times bestseller.
You can hate on the guy, but facts are facts.
Vance is a Yale grad and a best selling author. It's a good example of imposter syndrome; he's better than Trump in any possible way, but lacks the intestinal fortitude to be anything but a lickspittle.
It's like when Sideshow Bob was running for Mayor and used ads denouncing Mayor Quimby for letting crooks like Sideshow Bob out of jail.
Back in 2016 I got into it online with a MAGoo. Trump had just plead guilty to defrauding people with Trump University. The MAGoo said that it was the fault of the students for not reading the terms and conditions properly. They really thought Trump was on their side. The lies don't matter because he's 'their guy.'

My favorite crowd size story. Back in 2008 Obama did a tour of Germany before the Democratic convention. It was held in an open park and 200,000 Germans showed up. After he won the nomination, Obama delivered his acceptance speech at a 60,000 seat stadium.
I remember a Right news source saying that Obama was losing steam because he'd managed to get 200,000 a few weeks ago and only had 60,000 at this speech.
Reagan helped end the Fairness Doctrine that kept any one company from owning more than five television stations in the whole country and more than one in any market.

I want Micheal B. Jordan as the Black Panther.
Just vacationed in Belize. Tiny place near Guatemala and Mexico on the Caribbean. It's the only English speaking country in South America; founded by English pirates who wanted to steal Spanish gold. Great food, friendly people, and interesting history.
