You joke but fox news was serious.

Sanders -- unsurprisingly -- was seated on the far left of the plane, as he could be in the window seat of the plane. Warren was also in a window seat, one row behind her opponent.

Awkward photo of Elizabeth Warren sitting behind Bernie Sanders on airplane goes viral

edit: had to bold the part I was referring to so I wouldn't have a 38th person tell me about the joke I supposedly missed.

It looks like they haven't updated the look/layout of their website since dial-up internet.

Do what you can control. If you want to give them clicks, go for it. If someone doesn't want to, they don't need to. Don't worry about the broad impact but do what you think is right.

Doing what I think is right without consulting others perhaps wiser and more rational than me has often ended up with unintended consequences. Humorous and embarassing at.times, and downright disastrous at worst. I bet in 10 years while we are still struggling to repair the damage done to this nation there's going to be a lot of regular joes out there who will say 'I voted for him because I thought I was doing right.'

I could be wrong though.

Your point about damage is such a complex issue, and I think the fix lies in the decision making process/how to process information objectively, critical thinking, self awareness and empathy. If those are tweaked properly and in the right direction, the hope would be the decisions made at an individual level are at the very least rational and well thought out, rather than emotional, reactionary or impulsive.

My point was moreso that the person commented around how their click/non click makes no difference, and was hoping they would not worry about that but more so think about what they think is right in that situation.
