FinTech John Hodgman Marco Paradiso (a) not what i said, (b) responsibility for what? i voted! more of us did than them! yet here we are!

austin FinTech John Hodgman Marco Paradiso Not enough people voted, but in fact the system is not so rigged that they CANNOT lose, merely that it is difficult to make them lose.
If you want radical change but give up when it turns out radical change is hard, you get what you tried for.

Cullen Crawford sean clements I thought one was enough, it’s not true.

Cate Hall Sadly, I can’t imagine that such a site could possibly exist without being infested by sociopaths pretending to be angels.

There’s hope though. There are lots and lots of good, decent people on the apps.

austin FinTech John Hodgman Marco Paradiso Vote your conscience in the primaries and vote straight-ticket in the general. This is what is proven to work, and we know that because that is how the R's got to here.

austin FinTech John Hodgman Marco Paradiso What possibilities? You have electoralism, or you have a coup. You don't get to order off the menu here, it's either/or.
'We'll make our own, better democratic party' is going to just be Bull Moose 2.0

FinTech Tascha Yeah... Because (at least in Germany) Visa/MasterCard don't decide on your credit worthiness, because you can't get a card directly from them.
The issuing bank checks & decides for the credit

Nik Sara Hemrajani Thank you for joining us at this year's #FintechTrek , Nik! It was fun having you🙏🏼

Essex7927 FinTech John Hodgman Marco Paradiso lol again nobody is “giving up” except, functionally, the people foreclosing every possibility except “vote harder for Dems.” We have numbers and a militant labor movement on the rise for the first time in decades. Broaden your horizons.
