Democrats, for the most part seem to possess an alternative residual self-image: Secular Crusaders, the Upholders of Justice.

Example: I’m watching Whoopi Goldberg go on an angry, animated rant, [paraphrase; used pause and rewind to follow the rant] “Lets stop this both sides stuff it’s not correct it is not both sides, it is one clear side, and you can point to many, many reports, you can point to all kinds of stuff that has been [begins mumbling, could not think of another example, then loses a little bit of coherency: too angry to think it through], that’s been reported (in her news feeds/sources/bubble). You guys have to pull it back, this is not us or them, this is you guys [gesticulates wildly] gotta stop doing what you’re doing, J.D, and what you’re doing Mr. T [I’m doing Skecher's™ commercials. I pity you fool!]…,”

This rhetoric and appeals to emotion are what Vice-President Harris and her Party hopes wins the swing states. Whoopi is just whipping the base (into a frenzy of emotion).

It’s mostly peaceful rhetoric. Nothing offensive. You can say anything you want and Trump is a criminal and so are his MAGA Deplorables, so pretty much anything goes.

RHETORICALLY!!!

You cannot blame us if anyone acts on what we say. We are protected by the First Amendment.
And we are the educated and talented, the successful and accomplished, the rich and powerful, the Patrician Class.

You Deplorables should listen to us.
 
Other countries are emptying their prisons and insane asylums and sending them here! They are all murderers and rapists and want to eat your pets!
 
Whoopi was great in Sister Act...
No she wasn't but I couldn't think of anything nice to say. :)
 
Objectively Kamala Harris is superior to Donald Trump. She’s better educated, more articulate, more disciplined, and has more experience as a leader.

But Trump supporters have big feels, so we’re supposed to take their candidate seriously.

Lincoln was basically self taught and he did ok. :)

I have often held the viewpoint that if Lincoln were alive today, and educated similarly, he'd never have amounted to much because the world today requires a prestigious university sheepskin in order to be more than manual labor.

If you're not "certified" you're not going to achieve greatness no matter how qualified and/or capable you are.

I hope to God that isn't the case. It's kinda the whole point. :)

You are right.................today. But the pendulum is swinging and those 'prestigious' universities are not so prestigious anymore and the indoctrinated are pointed at and laughed at.

Unfortunately, many people cannot afford the cost or the time to attend a State or private university. This puts them at the mercy of career colleges whose diplomas carry little to no weight in the business world regardless of how well the college trains its students or whether the student has a high level of aptitude.

Education has been reduced to a double handful of universities dubbed "ivy league" and if you aren't lucky enough to attend one, you'll never be top tier no matter who you are.

Not by the alums of those universities.
 
Which are becoming more and more a gathering of fools.

A gathering of "fools" who are the movers, shakers, and leaders of the nation and our society.

They own the "who gets to play" lottery. It doesn't matter what you think of them, they're the ones who say who wins and who doesn't and the game is rigged in their favor.

L0L. Poor Derpy.
 
Whoopie? Did you see the look on Oprah's face when Kamala popped off and proclaimed she would cap the fool with her own gun?

When's her interview with Taylor Swift? Maybe we'll learn she loves Pit Bulls and adores Michael Vick. He doesn't smoke dope...
