(51,080 posts)It's magas who think that Vance wants childless cat ladies to become catless too, so they will be so sad they won't vote.
Makes more sense than the slimy smear on Haitians and Springfield.
Vance doesn't care. In a few years he'll slink back to Silicon Valley to see how else he can suck Americans dry of their data so that they can be manipulated by faux libertarian billionaires who accept no liability while shitting all over the commons. The modern "Tragedy of the Commons".

(1,832 posts)Would love to know more about the clearly uncomfortable woman that was on camera the entire time. Was she waiting to speak?
That might be a rhetorical question as no one on this site may know

(90,740 posts)Some Haitian kids did better in school than some white kids. Some Haitians are doing better in business and jobs than some white people. So they are buying some things that some white people can't afford with the money they make from their jobs and business.
I think the term for the above isc what some describe as "being uppity".
There is and LBJ quote that is often posted here which describes it well also.

(1,875 posts)Swift, in A Modest Proposal brought attention to appalling social conditions by satirically suggesting something outrageous in a reasonable tone. Richardson is exposing a false narrative by spotlighting positive social conditions in the idiom of satirical outrage.
She really is brilliant.

(4,398 posts)not all of us are so good at it, or coming up with it on the fly. However, I think ALL of us can answer the spirit of her message anytime, anywhere we meet a maga running his mouth off (which normally is just about everywhere. they don't know how to keep quiet!) I've done it a few times in the grocery store (must to my hubby's chagrin), and I'll bet we can all find places of our own. To those who hold the gifted talents of irony and satire, go for it. You make the day worth living! (LOL)

(40,645 posts)Would just like to point to the people who arent aware, a portion of this womens comments in the video were in the French language. Its because the principal language of Haiti is French and not Spanish as many folks seem to think.

Amanda for speaking truth to power and conducting a master class in sarcasm.

(22,673 posts)The guy who speaks at the 41:00 mark was a jokester. Amanda Richardson comes up around the 55:00 minute mark. There's a transcript under the video in the description area so you can read along.
