White people clamoring for the Obamas, I have a real question: do you look around and see how it’s *only y’all* with this expectation?

There is nothing inexplicable about why some histories are not widely known.
The Elaine massacre of October 1919, writes Atul Dev, represents “a pivotal episode of American history, consigned inexplicably to the margins.” https://go.nybooks.com/4s3ui6p

Overall, the 1055 US adults involved in this 1998 poll did reasonably well in forecasting what will have happened by the year 2025.

That's the point. You still don't understand that those letters are the reason that every good thing that happened happened. You're totally clueless and out of your depth here because you don't fucking live here. So nothing you're saying will age well because it's nonsensical. You're ALREADY wrong.
Wow, some of the replies to this are like being back on X!
You're putting WAY too much faith in Democrats to do anything once they get back in power, it simply won't happen. Bookmark this and check back in a few years, I guarantee there'll be no action beyond a few toothless statements.

The death of the subway token wasn't that long ago, and that was actually iconic.
the amount of sad you should feel about the retirement of the NYC Metrocard should be like “mildly wistful pre-nostalgia” — more than that, IMO, is kinda silly

He would sell the other daughter for a bottle of ketchup.
It’s almost like he didn’t try to have his own Vice President lynched on national television.
The most interesting thing about Trump, contra Kat Rosenfeld, is that he shows no loyalty to anyone and keeps selling out everyone he steps on to get where he wants and whenever one of his stepping stones like MTG get the temerity to think they have a reciprocal relationship they're all surprised!

Don’t let the phone ring while they “aren’t sleeping” either. Wake up acting like the house is on fire.
Men in their 40s love to pretend they’re not sleepy. Fighting for their life just to pass out mid conversation.

Yeah, she was soooooooo uninspiring that she raised more money than any other presidential candidate in the history of the US in 107 days. And blaming the Black woman for the actions of the voters, specifically white voters, is a helluva way to out himself.

It doesn't go unnoticed that she was put into a difficult position with very little time, a hostile media environment, and during a year where incumbents worldwide were losing. But all of a sudden people think she was a "horrible" candidate. It's transparent AF.
