Are any of these useful idiots chanting and waving their pink pussy hats for "Oprah 2020?"*
Never mind, don't answer that.
*Meanwhile, methinks CNN did a "find and replace" with this article: "find: Hillary" and "replace: Oprah." Gag me.

How DARE you tell a black woman what to do!
That's the title on the wreck'd list at TOP, concerning those who don't support Oprah.
I didn't read it.
Wise choice. (NT).
I'm a black woman!
Oh. Wait. If I don't support her, I'm a self-hating black woman! Oh, well. I'll be that!

Oh Bam!
Good one, dervish and so very true. After spending over a year ranting about sexism and misogyny, they attacked the women who accused Franklin and said all kinds of derogatory things about them. Until kos stepped in and told them to knock it off.
A leftist is someone with morally correct politics. A liberal is someone who wants to feel morally correct w/o ever putting themselves at odds with power or costing themselves opportunities or experiencing the uncomfortable emotions that truth causes.
You should bookmark it.

It dropped off
slightly different title
I went and took a look.
I went and took a look. The Diary doesn't even rate "ipecac in print" status. It's just a typical identity politics whine, an insult to even the most banal of artificial cheese food crapola.
And all the Diary this one was a response to was saying is that maybe we need actual statesfolks in the Oval Office, rather than wHollyWeird celebrities, for a while now. (I learned that lesson after Ronald Reagan myself!)

This makes 3 and two of them are in response to the first one. The OP is basically saying that people who run for president should have some type of political experience before trying to become president, but the diarist is being accused of misogyny and racism when I saw nothing of the sort in it. One person pointed that out in the 3rd diary and he's getting hammered.

Here's the Guardian article mentioned in the video: Oprah Winfrey: one of the world's best neoliberal capitalist thinkers
We wanted decent healthcare, a living wage and free college.
The Democrats gave us Biden and war instead.
Oh no, I don't want you to get shot - I will call Dr. Phil
to save your life. Where is he when we need him? At least, if she became President then we would have a doctor who can attest to her mental health stability with utmost integrity. /s

Oprah's name starts coming up (I think) about 20-25 minutes into this 2013 video, which begins with discussion of the Bilderberg meetings and then moves on into others, passing under the radar:

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
On the
Reddit site kossacks for sanders I saw an excellent piece by Caitlin Johnstone stating that she plans to fight against any and all neoliberal establishment candidates such as Oprah. I was the first to up vote it seemingly which seems funny doesn’t it?
"The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?" ~Orwell, "1984"
Great minds, Lily O'.
that article myself, and poked back here to post it.
I just saw"I promise to sabotage the 2020 campaign of any establishment democrat"
We need to spread the word.
"The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?" ~Orwell, "1984"

Go Caitlin!
Where do I sign?
Thanks for the essay.

"Make dirt, not war." eyo
I like Johnstone's Oprah Essay entitled, "No."
Here's my favorite passage:
https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/no-234e2f5998af
IMAGINE if you woke up the day after a US Presidential Election and headlines around the the world blared, "The Majority of Americans Refused to Vote in US Presidential Election! What Does this Mean?"
Went to see her OP. No one could have captured the appropriate
response any better than Johnstone did.

But she will support a "non-establishment" democratic
I thought she was Australian?
she is
having a fist-pound about the voting. They do that in Australia, too.
She's playing the good vs bad democrat,
I think she's evolved beyond that.
The Deep State has Digested both Trump and Sanders. Fight the Deep State.
Here's a good read:Worth a complete read. Here's a teaser:
She is (Australian).
I'm not entirely sure where she now stands on duopoly candidates who happen not to be "establishment." I think I've posted at some point (likely as a comment, not an essay) a few links illustrating her painful epiphany re: Bernie -- so I suspect she now sees the bigger picture. She may end up another sell-out (see: Sarah Silverman, etc.), but we'll see. For now, at least, she's amplifying a worthwhile message.
YMMV, and I welcome the discussion.
She won't have to look very hard for the dirt on Oprah
"I will find every scrap of dirt I can find to help ruin your campaign."
Extremely Inconvenient Photos For Oprah If She Decides To Run For President
Oops. It's going to be hard to explain this.
A leftist is someone with morally correct politics. A liberal is someone who wants to feel morally correct w/o ever putting themselves at odds with power or costing themselves opportunities or experiencing the uncomfortable emotions that truth causes.
Now, now, Snoopy.
Look over there...Trump tweeted something!
EDIT: that is to say as long as Oprah understands it’s stil HER turn. If she dares run without Her blessing, All bets are off.
Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.
"You can do anything you want Sally, even become
President of the United States. But first you have to become a ultra neoliberal capitalist billionaire willing to seek riches on the backs of millions and billions across the planet. Then and only then will you qualify to become the President."
qualify to be President
"Which you can only demonstrate by successfully doing just that."

Oprah Winfrey for President: Have We All Gone Bonkers?

Bottom line for me is she has no political experience and so will lean heavily on the Dems to lead her -- think neoliberal scum Pelosi/Schumer ugh.

Oprah has her 'bunker' on Maui - she is ready to run
for President. There is almost no access to her compound on the island and very few people know where exactly it is. And the Hawaiian island will be or is owned already by the deep state and the Media and Wall Street oligarchs.
I miss the next big show on TeeVee: "Who wants to be President?" It's clear that only two categories of people will win: the very, very rich media celebrities or the very, very good con-artist schmoozers, the comeback kids, the little guy from nowhere with the funny name, or the from rags to riches self-made media empresses.
The next big media show on TeeVee will be: "Who is the biggest loser on paradise island?"
Oh well, they are really good in one thing: Destroying everything.
Kaputt beyond FUBAR.

would oprah fall into the category of
the celebrity apprentice, a trump reality game show? Or is this just politics?
Oprah. Heh!
Super delegate magnet? Can't wait for the nominee to be given a lock before the primaries even start. Ohh nos. yogi Berra comes to mind. It ain't over till the fat lady...
hell, they don't even need elections anymore
