Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I don't why people are bent over the woman president prediction not happening. It has almost nothing to do with it being a female candidate, and way more to do with actually having a quality candidate, hence why it's still a 66% "Will have happened".

Obama actually wasn't the DNC favorite, but he had a popular campaign which is why he succeeded.

Hillary and Kamala's campaign can be summed up as a flaming pile of garbage that wouldn't have made any difference in polls had they been males.

Honest aaaand accurate. The integrity of the campaign becomes bigger than the candidate themselves. By integrity I mean money and establishment politics despite who many really really want for a candidate.
