And They're Off! The Democratic Candidates for 2020

Unfortunately, you missed the point as well.

You have to make your point before people can miss it.

[Madiel]

And you certainly haven't changed in the least.

Still, the break was nice.

He did have a point though, oblique and nasty as it was.

He thinks Biden isn't going to make it through a term and that therefore the VP will become President, and for some reason he thinks that a woman becoming President that way is a problem.

Although why coronavirus has anything to do with it, I've no idea. Given that concerns about Biden's health have nothing to do with coronavirus.

Nor, of course, is coronavirus only a month old. That's just when Americans started paying attention.

This post is all over the place.

Oh I'm sorry. I promise from now on to only write one idea at a time so that you can keep up.

But can we offer a giant plate of poo poo with sprinkles on top? 

[Madiel]

It's quite amusing to watch someone who claims to be a lawyer flail about so.

You know, Todd, as you are a man who constantly delights in the malfunctioning of the US government, no doubt you are absolutely thrilled that your country is set to lose hundreds of thousands of citizens because of the poor preparations for a pandemic.

You claim the world has utterly changed, and yet you're still the same utter arsehole.

Bye.

+1. I wish it were 'sarcasm', it always presents itself as something worse: utter cynicism. Historians will have a hard job to explain how an ideology that stresses the importance of "conserving" things worthwhile in society could turn into something so destructive and negative. The answer probably, that all 'strong' ideologies show a tendency to develop into extremism. 'Cause extremism it is, hopefully in words only.

One more remark then:
generally, psychology shouldn't be underestimated.

[Herman]

and, of course, the psychology of online posting.

If you've had a rough day at work, or your spouse isn't smiling the way he / she used to? Take it out on people you don't know on the internet.

For some people (esp. the kind that loves Trump) it is a sign of biglyness if you can be rude and nasty without thinking twice.

I always mean well. I want better lives for Americans and I think there is so much potential to make that happen. I believe progressive policies are good for 99 % of Americans and if you are among the top 1 % you'll be fine no matter what. So, yes, I am never wilfully malicious, but I am as you say insistent  as hell (  ) and also quite frustrated of the situation (establishment/corporatism always wins).

[Karl Henning]

(establishment/corporatism always wins).

Progressivism needs to convince those who are not already acolytes.

There's nothing I can do about American politics but I'll always be grateful to the American people for the space programme which continues to find out so much, shares it freely with the whole world and expands our horizons beyond the internal conflicts of the human race. That is what I call "great" .
