    I think people would be better served by a Senate run from her, in which she has a decent chance to win in New York, versus a POTUS run, for which from any honest evaluation of current voter inclinations in the States beyond NorthEast & West Coast, given the Electoral College system and who controls the “main stream” media these days, as well as the massive cash that would be pushed against her, she has no chance to win - at all. The only possible positive thing a Presidential run from her could do is push the DNC platform a tiny bit towards the more compassionate/empathetic side, but I seriously doubt she would even come close to winning the D’s nomination, and even then if she did, the R nominee would sadly end up winning the General election.


  • everyone noting that T-mobile is evil, please note that here in the USA where corporate oligarchy is the defacto system, there are only 3 actual carriers (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon) with each of these having several other brands that are subsidiaries or affiliates that piggyback on their networks. And T-Mobile has a distinct advantage for degooglers in that they are GSMA, still offer physical sims, and do not have strict “whitelists” for compatible devices, like the other two carriers (whose business ethics are just as bad as T-Mobile’s.)
