My whole childhood I was raised to believe the sky’s the limit. Then I graduated from high school and the world said, “Here’s a devastating recession; your education is going to cost a crippling amount but it’ll be worth less than your parents’ degrees cuz we’re hanging them out like candy now; you’re going to have to work longer hours for less money and we’re going to use social media technology to prevent you from realizing how much of your free time your jobs are consuming and how isolated you’re becoming; speaking of isolation, literally hide inside from this deadly virus even though many of you can’t afford to take off work for an indefinite amount of time. Your leaders all have theirs, because you can only get elected if you’re part of the oligarchy, so they won’t make healthcare accessible to all even though it’s taken for granted by every other first world country. Good luck lol!” Late capitalism is watching Pete Buttigieg host a late night show to an empty audience while the world hides from a deadly virus.

I watched Pete do Kimmel and in spite of the lack of audience response . . did a respectable job - especially considering it was a first for him. Then I watched my fav late nighter - - Colbert who absolutely B O M B E D. He just could not get past the fact that he had no audience. Tragic for Stephen . . . High Five for Pete.

[@AtariM216]

Tulsi laughing too cos Pete told everyone that Tulsi is still in the race. The MSM and DNC have been working hard to make people think there are only two old white guys left in the race and Pete just spoiled that. Tulsi has a vital message for the country and still has grass roots support (unlike Pete who mainly had donor class support) so theres no reason to drop out. No-one talks about the issues she talks about and they are vital in the national conversation. She has every right as a WOC, veteran, millenial, truth teller to be in the race still even if there's not 'path to victory'. If more people knew and understoodd her better she would beat Trump. She has support of progressives, independents, libertarians many trump voters. Thats what we need in a president - broad appeal and leadership and foresight - and courage - she has all that. What is INSANE is that everyone threw their support behind a dottery old man with a legacy of supporting failed wars and bailing out banks and screwing the people and corruption etc. etc. Now THAT is CRAZY.
