There is so very little political climate on this group. It says in the "sticky" to have discussions as you would have in a face-to-face discussion. Any person talking to another face to face like so many of these exchanges would have their teeth rearranged, I would think.
Say what you want but it will be without the likes of me. Checking in was for curiousity but leaving is a pleasure. Just know your beliefs are not consistent with the great majority of Villagers - ones who are not angry about life.

This has pretty much been the case with every political forum that I've ever been on. It's terrible.
I didn't think I've ever agree with Bernie Sanders on anything but he's right on the money when he said,
Quote:
“Too often in our country, and I think both sides bear responsibility for us, there is to much shouting, at each other, there is too much making fun of each other.”
“It is easy to go out and talk with people who agree with you.”
“It is harder but not less important for us to try and communicate with those that do not agree with us.”

The politicians and especially, the media, have us all simply trying to defend "our side". Broadcasters like Rush Limbaugh and Rachel Maddow have made a fortune by demonizing the people that they don't agree with.
If you watched the CNN debate you heard that the purpose of most of the questions was not to get information about ideas, plans and philosophies, but rather to get the candidates fighting with one another.
The whole election process in this country is shot to hell.
