I think if Trump falls, your team is finished. It will be a series of rolling irresistible changes that will sweep the US.... a 'cultural revolution'

There's a little bit more to what he said than just that. Fucking cancel culture bullshit.

These charts may have been created by liberals. Sorry :oops:

[RBP]

There's a lot to agree and disagree with there, but it's actually not that bad.

[Griffin]

The red and blue arrows at the top of the chart need the word FAR above them.

Contrary to how I may be construed here, I actually fall dead center with traits from both sides.

[KevinD]

I'm actually more towards the middle too. Of the so called parties in the US, I normally align the most with libertarian.

[Griffin]

I've never aligned myself with any of the parties, I gauge the candidates on their own merits.
With that being said it's been a long time since the Democrats have produced anyone worthy of my vote.

Most of us don’t realize how much digital systems govern access to our basic public services, like education, health and housing. Even more terrifying is how much data is collected about us and used without our knowledge.

Examining Black Feminism in the Digital Era
Kishonna L. Gray • The Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society

It is important to examine the digital manifestations of misogynoir – or what it means to be a Woman of Color existing in the hegemonic spaces of digital technology. But our conceptual frameworks fail to capture the everyday practices that Women of Color exhibit online.
