Loving being a security threat right now. America sneezes and the world catches Coronavirus.
I agree, and I should have emphasized the appreciation and gratitude I feel for global commiseration with our situation. It is touching and welcome. And I especially appreciate how you share how you are affected, because although it is our problem to solve, we are all affected.
Or Russians...Furriners might pick better candidates than we do. Maybe not Brits, though
Seriously and for real -both Ishina and Charlemange are long time posters and as such are welcome to post any damned place that they like.
Vermont was still a state with a lot of rural poverty when Sanders became a Senator, and his being an Independent was as much about meeting what was a Republican majority halfway, as it was about anything else.Your "facts" are actually opinion pieces from people trying to rile up emotions. Some of them are from men who aren't actually democrats, and I'll say again, you aren't a Democrat either. Go on tell me who you voted for in past presidential elections and primaries as an "Independent". That goes for Ishina, Aeon, Anya, and Darnk too. It's a trust thing. You say you can't trust the "sell-out centrists"? Well how do I know that you're not just trolling autistic-libertarian-tech-bros who want to break the system for lulz, like I have seen on Slashdot.

Why creeps like Lawrence Krauss are skeptical of everything but their own bias.
I'll say it again, I like Bernie, but I don't think he has the right temperament for the Presidency. I like Biden too, but I don't think he has the right temperament for the Presidency. IMHO they should have both said, "you know what, if I run it's like I'm trying to make Fetch happen" and decided to not run. As I've said, I'd love to see Bernie as Secretary of Labor and Joe as Secretary of Transportation.
Bernie could say the the things he did because he wasn't an elected official until 1981 and wasn't in Congress till 1991. He didn't have to deal with the political fallout. And even after he was in Congress, he had a safe district/state full of liberal gentrifiers.
A devout Catholic like Joe Biden couldn't say what Bernie did in 74, even if he wanted to, if he wanted to keep his seat. if He did, some NY or Boston Cardinal would have written something saying good catholics shouldn't support Joe Biden.
Me too.
Yeah, Bernie could do that, safe seat, and was an "I", no consequences for him. 1996 was after the Democrats received a drubbing in 1994 with Newt. They were afraid of it happening again so were scared of saying ANYTHING controversial. And Gay Marriage most certainly was to even Democrats in 1996. Remember, Bill Clinton was president because Democrats thought "we need a Less Liberal Southern Democrat, not a scary Super-liberal Damnyankee, to compete in the south for electoral votes" Even don't ask/don't tell was super-controversial at the time. Any Democrat in a competitive seat was going to have a hard time selling that vote to voters, that was the political reality of 1996
Bashing Democrats for pragmatically dealing with that reality is not reasonable
Indeed, and Transgender issues too.
Sanders is aSenator and former congressman from liberal gentrified Vermont, Obama was President of the Entire fucking country. Sanders could say all sorts of things he didn't have to worry about dealing with the fallout from because: Not literally a Democrat, and Vermont. Though he has NOT learned he can't do that running for President. Oh sure, I have no doubt that some of Castro's policies made life better for Cubans, but he could have done those things WITHOUT being Dictator for Life and having secret police. Americans have had decades of anti-commie dialog/media to seep into their brains, Red Dawn! Chuck Norris! Rambo! The Myth and Legend of Reagan. How did Bernie think the general public would react, not even taking into account the "Exiles" in Florida.
How the fuck old are you? Were you a child in 2001? After 9/11 any Democrat who opposed intervention was branded a lover of muslim-terror who hated America and our Military. It would have been a tough vote for ANY Democrat who expected ANY competition for their seat. Bernie of course, didn't have to deal with any fallout, unlike a lot of other Democrats. Can you imagine the political ads that could have been used against Biden if he had voted against it?
Oh you know how certain people on VVO are, Bernie is a Saint who can do no wrong, and every Democrat is a Satan barely better than Trump.
I think you're right. There are other places more appropriate for this dirty Brit to more freely express views on American politicians, and where it wont hurt people to do so. This is obviously not working for either of us.
But that means there will be one less person being serious about the topic to offset the people that only post quasi-related stupid memes
Pamela has been concern trolling for threads now, I wouldn't heed any of it.
Also, most of the time this particular "MERICAN agrees with your feelthy furrin take on things, and you express it far better than I can be bothered to

This isn't the first time you've used men as an insult, but it is the first time I've got the inkling that you think your forum opposition must be men...and mean it as an insult. Lemme know if I'm off-base, 'kay?Your "facts" are actually opinion pieces from people trying to rile up emotions.
