@ccmillr14 ok we get it you're a Tulsi Stan. Why?

I think our whole govt is a joke TBH. Not just most of those in it but it's basic structures and function. Ajso it's built, at least currently, on literal bribery and graft. Almost every elected person is allowed to take "donations" of private money from any person or group in any amount. Amazing. And we wonder why we have an organization in most states and the federal level so hostile to the needs or wants of the bottom 80%.

@partin25 idk why she pivoted to help Bernie but maybe she doesn't even know what she really wants or what her views really are. I think she is genuinely a republican and has so far been afraid to run as one. Maybe not a fascist, but decidedly on the Right on everything.

@AdamBladeTaylor it does seem that's what they want. What a fckn mess.

@TOS100 Returns well said. And that's what they do.

She's for herself, I think that's the one thing now that's abundantly clear. You can't be a real Progessive or SocDem or other leftist without having a genuine desire to improve the lives of others AND to be against predatory, immoral, or unjust intervention in other nations on basic principle. It's clear now she didn't care about either of those, just wanted to rise on the political ladder. She just wants power for herself. I imagine she'll be coming out as a Republican any day now and I'm sure she'll be back in the future to try again. I'll be honest it was awesome seeing her smackdown Kamala in the debates, though it didn't end up changing anything in the final results; unfortunately, while that scored points with me as I know full well who Kamala really is, I'm sure that had little to do with the inherent injustice of the issue to Toolsi than with trying to score points against any leading rival. I'm mildly curious what her field specialty was while she was in the service. It doesn't matter but I'm a vet too and I'm just curious. I was just enlisted though and I moved on after eight years and I'm glad I did. There a LOT of good people in the military who think they're making all these sacrifices for a noble purpose and the very very sad fact is, they aren't though. They could be, but they aren't. We AREN'T going around liberating and rescuing people, nations or communities- I wish we were but we aren't. Most won't realize this or question the ultimate structure of the US govs foreign involvements until they're out however, unless they've seen combat first-hand like many Iraq and Afghanistan vets have.

@Arturo-sm1tb yep agreed. I think I see her clearly now. she's just attracted to power, she either wants it herself or wants to be around those who she thinks has it. She's smart, I think, but lacks empathy for any vulnerable person or marginalized group. Other than power for power's sake, I don't know what she wants or what she believes in, or if she even knows. maybe to her it's an irrelevant question. It's too bad. She's relatively young, 43 or something I think- if she had real Leftist views she could be a real ally; she could run for Hawaii's Senate seat and possibly win. Oh well. She's not it. She did a real good fake-out tho. On to the next possibility...

@thomasgriffin2326 um Kay... but what does that have to do with what she stands for, or in her case doesn't stand for?? Politics is about the issues, how someone looks is irrelevant. She is indeed conventionally attractive, and Sinema is cute, but the more I see Tulsis actual value system come to the foreg and it becomes clear she was never genuinely Progessive or SocDem or anything Left, the less outwardly attractive to me she is becoming. It's clear her principles, whatever they are are totally fluid, and she'll espouse any talking point that she feels will connect her to an audience and get her a seat at the table. I guess I can't blame her, that's what almost all of them do, but if she's not a committed Leftist, even though she tried to falsely portray herself as one for a minute, then I can discount her and move on. A beautiful person can stab a knife into you just the same as an old or unattractive person can. Politics isn't a dating game. It's about ideas, values, and policies. Maybe you already know all that but js. Let's not get distracted by his someone looks and focus on their words, actions, and policies.

@frankzavala7139 Are they Blue or Red?? Don't tell me the ignorant W trash and various should-know-better groups vote for GOP phylth there?? I thought they were bright Blue.

@kain6996 idk try an edible. Cringes are curable.

@jordancurry4105 that is actually very nice. You're right. I've met many wonderful believers in my day. Many very kind and caring people.

@Tymbus feh. I'd call them barely-centrists on any normal scale.
1
@jimbob3030 you said it. Yep... That's exactly how it works here.
1
Oh wow I didn't even know that. I guess at this point she just wants attention. She's not a serious candidate. Did she step down from her House seat or did somebody run against her and win?
1
@mattroberts86 oic. I'm guessing she was angling for someone's veep spot, but as we all find out soon enough, if the DNC doesn't want you, you're not getting in, though you might get close. It'll be interesting to see if she reveals what seem to be her true colors and runs for anything as a GOP candidate.
1
Yep, but Dems just don't want goet their pretty little fingers dirty. Sad.

Well it does, they just have no power. I call them the Greens, the DSA, and the PSL party.

@achimwokeschtla7582 thanks for this breakdown! That's sounds so rational. Yeah I don't know why things are so retarded here. Not a lot of things on a gov level (let alone a policy level) make sense here, the more I learn about them. Having a normal multi-party parliamentary system should not be a pipe dream! Isn't that what every other first world nation uses?? It's the only rational way to have an at least semi-representative government. Is RCV used where you live?? Now that would be a helpful voting method to lead to a better result than simply more bogus FPTP methodology. Is open bribery (it's not called that here officially but that's exactly what it is) and paid lobbying and limitless "donations" allowed in Germany?? Because that's literally what 95% of the federal and a good portion of the State govs run on here. [I won't say everything depends on a big-money interest, industry, or organized lobby being behind it; but most matters that get taken up and discussed and put into bills (or blocked from becoming bills), along of course with details that that benefit that particular corporate interest or industry, do.] Our so-called "democracy" really is shit here. "Most advanced nation"?? Ehh, idk- not politically for sure. 250M voting age adults, half who don't vote (some for good reason I'm sure), with zero choice other than two corporate and Pentagon-owned parties, one just a lot more openly racist and fascistic than the other. What a shithole system for real, jeesus.

@achimwokeschtla7582 50 different parties!?!? 🤣🤣😆 Wut??? Amazing. I know only a few are consequential but still. That's amazing tho. For real.
1
@nocturnalrecluse1216 why do you say that???? I've been behind Bernie since he started in 2015. I'm a bro for anyone who seems like they gave halfway reasonable positions for public office. I also supported Liz Warren as a second choice even tho she seemed weak and waffling on her positions and refused to endorse Bernie after it came down to him and Biden.
1
@cosmicHalArizona I don't know if I'd call her that but there's something pretty hard about her, I get a callous vibe, and almost like she is or wants to be ruthless, at least against a perceived enemy (in her case it's those pesky brown folks overseas who just won't realize who their natural betters are and stop daring to resist our occupation and destruction of their country. I mean what do they expect after all!?!? You resisted- now you must die. Seems fair.)

@nocturnalrecluse1216 well but the DNC did pull shit against Bernie but anyone familiar with how the machine works knows they would. I did. The problem is voters don't know much. They're busy trying to earn a living, I understand, but when everyone votes for name recognition over policy (and Bernie's were as mild as you could get), then you get the corporate candidate who will only do very little for you at best. And who knows if they will stand up for basic human freedoms and civil liberties. According to what I've heard Hillary was for using a drone to take down Assange. Now who's knows maybe she was just joking but I did hear that. I do appreciate was the weak sellout establishment right-wing Dems are doing now with the infrastructure bill, but if real Progs or non-sold-out Dems had been doing their job for the last 45 years we wouldn't need this now, and as it stands it's going to be woefully inadequate. Anyhow I'm on the far Left, somewhere btwn Socialist and Marxist, but I'll settle for a SocDem State if I can get it; but I know what you mean.

Waifu 🤣 See a year ago I woulda had no idea what that meant, but now I know. I've come up on a lot of the hip nu slang by the kids these days. Why just last week I learned about "pog" "cap" and "take the L" means. Can't keep this hipster down is all I'm sayin'. I agree tho I believe you're right 🤣
