#Oprah2020

[nate]

Americans seriously deserve this, we are so obsessed with big media personalities.

Anyway, everyone was so enthralled with her speech but they forget she is responsible for bringing us Dr Phil, Dr Oz, the secret, and a bunch of other bullshit science.

[Spirit]

If 2020 gives us a choice between two narcissistic billionaire tv show hosts, well ...

Absolutely.

 

Don't forget she got hoaxed by that fake book "A Million Little Pieces"

[floplag]

The sheer hypocrisy of this is truly staggering, but thats the way of things in Wash today.  

The funny part is what voting block does she give them that Hillary didnt?  Oprah isnt going to suddenly get them the middle America second amendment vote or the working class white males. 

This is exactly what the Dems do not need IMO, another liberal extremist.  What they need is a more moderate younger option.  They need someone fresh, a new voice, new blood, and less extreme agendas to reach to middle ground, otherwise its just more of the same old bullshit   But they arent interested in that, clearly, and still haven't recognized their own failures.

She said women should speak out against sexual abuse? That's all I got.

The anti-Clinton non-dogmatic conservatives who begrudgingly voted from Trump because they hate the Clintons THAT much.  Seemed to be a pretty sizable population.

Aside from the high levels of melanin she doesn't seem to be leftist enough

She said "old white people should die off" last year.  That might seem kind of leftist (same as racist).

I would post it here, but my MacBook Pro is fighting me.

Not a bigot, racist, xenophobe, homophobe, misogynist, doesn't have 10+ accusations of sexual harassment, much more likable personality, not a complete piece of shit. 

And I don't think Oprah will have the populist message like Trump did. 

Only way they are alike is that they are both non politicians and tv stars

It was 2013 and she didn't say they should die off, she said racism wont die off until the old white people die off.  Still not a great message but it makes more sense.

It is basically praying but not to god but to yourself or something.  I really don't know.

So does this mean she's a Scientologist?  Although that may be Buddist.

Quote

Byrne re-introduces a pseudo-scientific notion originally popularized by persons such as Madame Blavatsky and Norman Vincent Peale, which suggests that thinking about certain things will make them appear in one's life. Byrne provides alleged examples of historical persons who have achieved this. Byrne cites a three-step process to achieve this: ask, believe, and receive.^[5] This is based on a quotation from the Bible's Matthew 21:22: "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

It only makes sense if you think old white people are racists, . I get that people are sick of EVERYBODY by time they get old, but I don't know about being racist.

Not any more stupid than praying to receive.

I think you will find that the largest existing racist population is comprised of old white men in the south where segregation lingered the longest.

Because all their wives are secretly supporting the NAACP with their bake sales?

I was going to say that she probably also believes that "everything happens for a reason," and sure enough...

To be fair that's inevitably true. Though I imagine she means a predetermined reason.
