This makes her “strategy” even more baffling than before. How do you know you are down the entire time and do absolutely nothing about policy?

    A group of billionaires and millionaires donated some minimum amount to get a tax break on profits from their racism factory. They used it to get a bunch of college educated office workers to donate hundreds of millions to the campaign. The campaign proceeds to spend it carting interns and graduate students back and forth to Raytheon Acres Virginia. Those people are just doing for a checkbox on their resume. The insiders knew it was a bust from the start, they’re just going through the motions and auditioning for their next private sector job. All the money goes into the insider’s consulting agencies and appearance fees and marketing firms. They donors get a nice ROI from the people calling you Hamas on x - the everything app. Then they get more tax breaks anyways because Trump gets in.

      Sipping on a gin and tonic as I castigate my son for wearing long pants before the age of twenty. He asks me when he can see his mother— who is also my cousin— again, and I remind him not to ask about her, because I don’t know how to say that my uncle and I had her lobotomized and put in a hospital for crying too much. I send him back to boarding school for another six months as I head to my job as an executive for a large chemical company that my grandfather got me, overseeing South American mining operations. Upon hearing that a newly-elected government wants to levy a tax on our mining profits and institute an eight hour work day, I call up my old Skull and Bones chums who work for Zapata Oil and Air America, ask if there’s anything they can do to help, and they promise they’ll look into it. I will drink nine more gin and tonics throughout the day before switching to bourbon. Old Money Life.
