Candide, n.

Pronunciation: can-DEET (similiar to "yeet")
Frequency (in current use): 1/10
Origin: French
Etymons: candid, adj; candidacy, n

1) The eponymous character of "Candide ou l'optimisme" by Voltaire, an optimistic man who repeatedly claims that we "live in the best of all possible worlds" and that "we must cultivate our garden". The book is philosophical, but ultimately a satire (so there's also a lady who lost one of her two buttcheeks because she ate it in it) and was banned because it was too controversial.

2) Born this very minute 23 years ago, Austro-German singer-songwriter, stylist, fashion icon and social media influencer Candide is known for her profound exploration of both the human psyche and eros through art and research. Popular because of her kindness and willingness to reach out and deep into other people, she has been known to hear people's life stories a mere five minutes after meeting them and uses these insights to fuel her art and understanding of the world. An amazing friend and wonderful person, according to those who know her, she continues onwards on her path towards beauty in a complex world.

The word Candide, n. means being defined by aesthetics, love and passion - a modern-day Venus.

coattail candidate

A political candidate that gains a great deal of popularity primarily from family name, vise from receiving recognition through his or her own limited accumulative achievements within time of service. Term derived from the adage, "riding on coattails," more often in reference of a son, gaining influence by the popularity of his father, without achieving influence on his own merits.

Hopefully America has been disillioned enough from its past mistakes, and make it a bipartisan effort to refrain from having another coattail candidate from becoming the next president of the United States.

The Candidate

It was not the candidate.

Hym "It wasn't the candidate before the election. Before the election you thought she was a good candidate and that she was doing a good job. You, the pundits, did a dog shit job painting her in a positive light and convincing people to vote for her. Her team did a dog shit job preparing her for rallies sure but you didn't do a good job conveying what her policies were actually going to be. The people I talk to can't even spit out a single one of her policies. I haven't heard 'opportunity economy' from a single person. Spamming 'Donald Trump is a narcissistic fascist!!!' On a loop DOES NOT WORK... And that is all you did in the weeks leading up to election and YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD WORK. You, as a media pundit, were selecting stories to make your candidate look good and your opponent look bad. You, as a pundit, were arguing on her behalf and not that she lost... You are trying to distance yourself from your role in her loss. Because if you being a fat Persian retard made her lose then why would people give you their money? This election autopsy bullshit we are getting from the liberals is nothing more than a desperate attempt at self preservation."
