In the US, at least, the person who rants against #pollies then turns around and runs for office. -

Hmm. Ted Cruz able to allow a little humor about himself? Most #pollies aren’t like that at all. -

I wish today's #pollies would grapple with big corporations and their lawyers and lobbyists to bust up some monopolies, oligopolies, monopsonies, oligopsonies. I think the US economy would benefit. !econusa In conversation from AndStatus permalink Attachments

It's been years since I was able to watch that speech. I just can't watch / listen to #pollies lying to me, while one party's people tell me how wonderful the person is and the other party's people tell me how awful the person is.

So far, I find the Democratic candidates I've looked at unsuitable (one of them in a "never vote for $PERSON" way), and the Republicans appear not to have any serious challengers to the current occupant. If the #Twin_Parties continue to disappoint, I'll have to look at 3rd parties.In conversation from n5.federati.net permalink -

N-5-O-body (n5admin@n5.federati.net)'s status on Thursday, 16-Jan-2020 07:03:41 UTC N-5-O-body I'm not really sure that what someone believed 48 years ago is still relevant if they don't appear to still believe it. I'd be willing to guess that me in 1972 and me in 2020 have widely diverging views on almost any issue.
Still, the article is correct in assuming that--should Bernie #Sanders become the #Democratic_Party's nominee--he will face questions about his past which have not been asked in the campaign so far.

Oof!
"Body blow! Body blow! Left hook!"
Newsweek gives #Sanders the beat down like he was "Glass Joe" in the game "Punch Out".

As you know, I generally avoid #politics and #pollies (politicians). But I’m reading a little bit more these days in preparation for the election in November. So far, I’m still not likely to support any #twin_parties candidate. #uspolIn conversation from Shoyu permalink Attachments

I’m trying to see what http://www.mazizone.eu/ is about. Is it about building and supporting local networks and networked services? Or is it more about political stuff? I am wholly in favor of the former, and almost wholly uninterested in the latter, as politics and politicians ( #pollies ) and parties are all about separating people into warring groups, not about benefitting local communities in ways that help to benefit all the people in a locality.In conversation from Shoyu permalink -

No, wait. We're talking about #pollies regulating themselves. Of course it is mostly not illegal.In conversation from web permalink Attachments
