33. It amazes me what people constitute as beautiful & the traits they assign to this so called "beauty"

This manufactured, superficial, mostly unattainable standard of female beauty. I see Republican men and women repeating how "classy" Melanoma is when on the very next tweet, I see melania posing nude. How do you reconcile that? And here's Michelle, rising from the south side of Chicago, going to Columbia, and then Harvard law. GIVE. ME. A BREAK. I wish we can teach people that brains and empowerment are FAR more attractive than a certain height/weight ratio or a certain symmetry in facial features. And teach our girls it's far more attractive to earn your own success and make your own money than relying on a man to do it for you. Arm candy isn't pretty. Nor is it classy.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
