DonCoquixote's Journalabout Mr Schultz and the electoral college
2016 proved that it does not matter if someone gets the most votes, the electoral college matters, and it did not matter that trump was 3 millions short. The electors, mostly a bunch of white guys, picked their king. So...considering that the electors are conservative as is, what makes any third party person think they have a chance?
Granted, I would gladly destroy the electoral college, but that is not happening soon.
what the Super Bowl says about this nation
Let's take a loom at who is playing:
The New England Cheatriots: We have Bill Belicheat who got caught cheating, and got away with it. Not to be outdone, his prize pony, Tom brady, had to cheat too. Prize Pony thinks he is the greatest of all time, ignoring the fact that had a defense that has protected him from the many bumps, breaks that make most Quarterback old before their time, in toher words,another protected pale kid who has no idea that he is only at the top of the heap because he was protected and pampered.
The LA Rams: got their win based on what even the dumbest realized is a bad call. But they have a young white coach, which feeds into myths, unlike black coaches that were the "last hired, first fired." These goons got assembled for the benefit of a city that, despite stealing the LA chargers from San Diego, has NEVER shown themselves to be a football city. Poor New Orleans, they at least had a candidate for the real best quarterback of all time. But the press is bedazzled by old man brady.
Of course, we have a sport that dumps on Fan appreciation, rewards billionaires for ruthlessness, and celebrates the very worst part of the American Payche.
Of course...at least the Cowboys did not win...then again, they are the most profitable franchises in world sports. Yes, they beat out Barcelona and Manchester United. Why do they win, because a) the are the manhood toy of a texas Billionaire and B) are the means by which a bunch of suburban rhinestone cowboys get to feel like something more than just the discaded dergs and lowborw lowlifes of the american system. Find a cowboy fan, find a fool. They have not won a super bowl in 20 years, and they fools pack Jerryworld stadium going "how about Dem cowboys!"
a happy new year to all my DU friends!
especially may this be the year where not only do we wish for a happy new year, but we take active, clear steps towards one. We know Mueller is doing exactly that
