Complaining doesn't actually get you a meal, after all. :P
Not yet, anyways. We have our top SJWs working on that, they're very good complainers, absolutely the best at getting something for doing nothing.
Pretty sure it's actually the various lobbyists that've got that on lockdown. And there's not really many of those coming out the social justice folks. They're third or fourth fiddle at best.

Not really sure who's doing the best on that front, though. Between power/resource extraction, the financial sector, the churches, military industrial stuff, and everything else, there's a lot of folks in the race to the bottom.

Anyone with bad enough taste to get a fucking Pepe tattoo needs to be shot to save the collective fashion of the human race.
'I am not advocating political violence, I am advocating aestheticist violence!'

I think I'll start using that one, particularly after 10pm. I'm reasonably certain it can be spun into an at least semi-valid argument.

I decided that something needed to be done. Action needed to be taken. So I spent a lazy fifteen minutes shooping images.

How vulgar of you to think that aesthetics exhausts itself in beauty. Beauty is to art as a pretty sunset is to Beethoven's Fifth - nice, but lacking in depth and urgency.

Beauty lacks depth and urgency?
You europeans have never seen true beauty.

Only sometimes. I'm not too sure there's much natural about the average industrial city's sunset.

Though yeah, aesthetics is value in general. Good, bad, physical or not. Beauty is just a fraction of it.

"I could care less" has a given meaning now. Get over it. Take O.K. It's an ancient, fossilized meme.

Isnt the swing Dem +7 for 18-29¿

Whoops!  I'll fix that.

Interesting. I guess the discrepancy come mostly from the large number of youth who lean democrats but don't vote. Still, I wonder young (24 and less) voters don't depise her more, seeing as they're people who largely become politically aware after her tenure as Sec of State, so most of the Clinton they remember is the one displayed in that very effective character assassination campaign led by the House GOP.
