She uses the word "broken" to describe their system. I'd use a word that's much stronger! For the bazillionth time since I started to pay attention to their political system, it strikes me how pathetic it is! sonar 1 Link to comment

Verbally articulate, building an argument, determined and prepared. Not just a pretty face. Clearly you would totally agree with me that she poses a threat of making democratic socialism palatable. sonar 1 Link to comment

Cynth Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Trump is so transparent, says there were only 200-300 people at Beto’s rally. You know what they say about boys who get into a mine is bigger than yours argument......lol. wendybr 1 Link to comment

marron Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Oh whoops haha. I'm on yesterday's papers and just read Beto as Bezos. I humbly retract "unofficial", and maybe "billionaire" although I'm sure there's some sound investments behind the boy. wendybr, EmMac and Cynth 3 Link to comment

He is not an easy target and it's not sport to "bash" the POTUS. It's not "populist" to call out lies and hyperbole and disgusting behaviour and question his political and "business" links. He is a necessary target because of his own behaviour. On the other hand, the reverse is true. Trump has made it sport to attack his opponents personally rather than politically and to use his power and platform to do so. StringerBellend 1 Link to comment

Cynth Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 If you just lay over the lens of “what if Obama did that”... it takes a new perspective. We are not in a “post-truth” era, we are in a “post-ethical” era.... The last line just does me in. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/trump-intervenes-support-coal-plant-owned-major-donor wendybr 1 Link to comment

I didn’t think it would be good for Biden to run but I saw recent statistics saying most Democrats would vote for him. Who Americans might like and who I do are probably two different things! wendybr 1 Link to comment
