Can high profile reporters please not spread this stupid conspiracy theory.
It fails on every front. He nationalized their lithium a decade ago, it’s physically inaccessible, and the lithium market is currently flooded. Involving Elon Musk ups the ante because their lithium isn’t even suitable for electric car batteries.
Morales lost indigenous people, including his own tribe. That’s like Trump losing Staten Island cops. He had been selling off their land to Chinese developers for years.
This tribe has a long and proud democratic tradition. Their leaders have been elected for centuries. They also have term limits. When Morales repealed term limits, it was seen as one final fuck you to his indigenous heritage.

Remember Office Space where a guy doesn’t like his perfectly good job because they don’t let him be an asshole or something.
Really nothing I sympathize less with now than 90s movies about the ennui that comes from living in a stable society.
Bad bosses are ones with dumb voices and not ones that make you work maskless in a pandemic.

Is there any bigger group of frauds than conservative legal scholars? All they do is congratulate each other being geniuses because they found the Republican party platform in the Constitution.
Remember when they said Sam Alito was the greatest legal mind of his time? Well it’s been 15 years, where are some of his brilliant writings? What has he written that Sean Hannity couldn’t?
The greatest among them of course was Scalia, a pompous and corrupt mediocrity who died on a secret hunting trip where he was palling around with people who had a pending case in front of the court.

This is so fucking exhausting. The only correct answer is "he will be escorted out by security." Image
Then Trump will be wrong. The president doesn't get to say when everyone has to stop counting. Image
And they'll do what? Bomb polling sites? Get a fucking grip. Biden's "coercive power" is that he'll be the person who just won a presidential election. Image

I desperately miss the days before Bernie Sanders radicalized the hipsters and they only applied their arbitrary authenticity standards to music stores and not the people who decide the fate of the world.
All of their complaints aboht “corporate Democrats” are just their old complaints about Virgin Records, but retrofitted for the highest of all possible stakes.
Thats why they think the worst possible insult is liking Harry Potter, because it’s most popular commercial franchise that has ever existed, and there’s nothing a hipster hates more than things which are universally popular.

The thing about the Confederacy that gets overlooked is what a shitty country it was in general. They had no freedom of speech, and thousands were arrested on suspicion of Union sympathies. Within a year of forming there were riots over food shortages.
The government could have stopped this by forcing plantation owners to replace their cotton and tobacco crops with wheat, but telling plantation owners what to do sort of defeated the whole purpose of the country.
The plantation owners blocked any sort of modern economic developments like factories chemical processing plants. They kept the entire country locked in an agrarian economy while the rest of the world industrialized, and the Southern economy still hasn't caught up.

There was nothing about Obama that was either economically or socially conservative. And Bill had a lot of positions that were liberal in the 90s. I'm sorry but we can't just keep propagating this myth that the conservative Democrats have been party leaders.
Obama's chief legislative achievement was raising rich people's taxes to pay for poor people's healthcare. He appointed Sonia Sotomayor, the only justice to the left of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a Clinton appointee.
Before Bill Clinton, the military had whole offices dedicated to rooting out gay soldiers. DADT closed those offices forever. Obama took the necessary second step and fully integrated the military.
