So you still cannot dispute any of it. And do what you did back in 2003. Play ostrich.

Feather me this UT. Why do you now condone posters who only post insults? You once banned people for doing that. You do not even issue a warning.

I've allowed you to personally insult me for two decades.

Do you need a warning?

Tw couldn't get on Nixon's list, Dubya's list; or, Trump's list; so, now he's slumming.

My hot takes on the dem frontrunners:

Biden: Biden is, I think, running only because he believes that he can beat Trump and nobody else can, and these are not normal times in which you can just wait for the opposition to be done and go home. That being said, his ideas are old and have no bearing on the current economy. On the top economic issue (health care), his position is "everything is fine."

Warren: Warren is basically the Cordell Hull of the modern era. She's as fascinating as watching paint dry, but she's reliable.

Sanders: I am not sure where this man thinks he is. I think he thinks he's at a student rally in 1968. I would still vote for him over Trump, but I would vote for any of the candidates over Trump. I will add that I do like some of the "out there" planks he brought that have now become party policy.

Buttigieg: This man sold his own minority group out for a chicken sandwich. NEXT.


Others:

Harris & Klobuchar: These two are suicide bunting for Warren.

Bloomberg: A bastard and a spoiler. There is no sane reason to jump into the contest after the debates.

Tulsi Gabbard: 2020's Jill Stein.

Booker: Who?

Pete has quite a ground game in Iowa apparently. Biden and Bernie are too old unless Trump is the other option. Warren isn't exactly youthful but not decrepit. I'm just gonna mention Yang because he's likeable which is a new thing in a politician.

Yang seems to have no problem taking money from Richard Spencer's people. He also took some special time out to kiss Andy Ngo's ass.

I don't even consider him a candidate.

Ugh. I know that the nation needs someone who will reach across the culture divide, but... this ain't it, chief.

So understanding what is happening to Rust Belt whites makes Mr Yang a white nationalist, I would suggest that's how Hillary lost PA and Michigan.

Andy Ngo is not "what is happening to Rust Belt" ???
Read posts #205, #206, and #207 in order.

I have no idea who Andy Ngo is. I was responding to the Richard Spencer smear.

So Andy Ngo turns out to be a right-wing Journalist who was beaten by the Antifa. I guess I'm with Yang and Biden on this. I oppose political violence.
