    They said "we must address the REMNANTS of institutionalized racism" as if it's just some thing to finish cleaning up.

        That's so divisive, you leftists clearly can't even preach about peace and unity, all you know is infighting.

        I think she's genuine in her political beliefs as a social democrat whose willing to fight establishment folks for social democracy.

        But her career was absolutely a grift. She was Oprah's new age healer.

          Oprah has done so much damage boosting charlatans and frauds and quacks. : p

          But people love her, because... idk, maybe because they didn't pay enough attention to James Randi when they were kids.

        She doesn't seem dumb. I mean, she conned vast wealth out of LA, and has reasonably congent political awareness.

        That said, she uses twitter, which does argue against the existence of intelligent life in the universe.

    Watching so many of my friends who were all in for Bernie in February now fawn over the DNC speeches is some of the strongest black pill shit I’ve ever been given. Fuck this fucking party and the army of libs it rode in on.

      They already tasted the scent of class conciousness, whatever happens with your elections, they will fall in the rabbit hole soon or later.

        Yeah. A lot of the celeb Bernie stans have promptly revealed themselves to be shitlib party loyalists at the end of the day, which... I don't know why I'm surprised by that. They have literally no real skin in the game.

              I mean, where's the fucking lie? Good compared to... our existing parade of fucking sociopaths? Obviously there's way, way, way better presidents out there, but we sure as fuck never had one of those. Literally just some shmuck who doesn't wanna glass the middle east is a GOOD-ass president by our pathetic standards.

      She is a bloomer grifter, which is adjacent to the reiki/new age grift, that not only appropriates Hinduism & buddhism but also utilizes the role of a guru/spiritual advisor to take money rather than actually help.

      In a way it's the spiritual middleman akin to the medical middleman of the self-help diet shit
