Once they looked at our gargantuan military sprawled all over the world and sucking up half of the budget, the stranglehold that corporate money has on politics (and the overwhelming size and scope of corporations) and the two-party system which causes such a meaningless but sharp partisan divide, I think they would have a lot more to talk about than Trump. Some of the early Presidents were pretty intemperate people - hard-drinkin', hard figthin' men. One got shot in a duel and then killed the other duelist, remember? I doubt that Trump isn't anything they wouldn't have seen before.

I doubt that Trump isn't anything they wouldn't have seen before.If they were here in the 21st Century, Jefferson, Adams, and James Madison could easily fix the Constitution they wrote by revising it to take into account Duverger's law, which makes a two party system inevitable. All that Jefferson, Adams, and James Madison have to do is change the election rules. It is dead simple. And while they are at it, fix the rules limiting campaign donations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger%27s_law Oh, also while the Founding Fathers are visiting the 21st Century, they can make the Constitution even more plainly clear that only Congress, never the President, not even because of a sneak attack in a nuclear war, can declare war.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Do Right, Be Right. :)Who is this Obama you speak of? Are you worried I am a hypocrite? I'll give you things to accuse me of being hypocritical about (I don't see the hypocrisy but I also don't have your overactive imagination nor your generalized hostility toward "inconsistency" in adults since I'm not a child anymore.):
Quote:1) I own guns but I am for strict gun control, even if it required giving up all my weapons.
Quote:2) I make my living by selling fossil fuel but I am for limiting greenhouse gases.
Quote:3) I've gone to war but I want to cut the Pentagon's budget to one tenth of what it is.
Quote:4) I won't watch any of the Democratic debates but I will vote for the Democrat.
Quote:5) I'm for higher taxes for the wealthy but I take all available tax breaks, even the ones that are unfair loopholes targeted for people like me.
Quote:6) I will miss Trump when he is gone but I won't vote for him. That actually is true for ALL Republican politicians. I'll miss them for all the wonderful things they have done for me but I won't vote for any of them.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: When I search on Tulsi Gabbard, the first thing that pops up is an ad for her campaign. The second thing is bio of her terms as representative. The third thing is "top stories" which - today- is winning a pushup contest at her townhall. Following that are a lot of Twitter feeds on topical issues. I suggest you stop using Google, because Google notoriously jiggers search results. It's not like google would try to bury Gabbard, is it?

Quote:SECOND:The big problem with the Federal government ... is Congress. SIGNY: Oh, wait! Now The Problem is NOT Trump, it's Congress??? And worse than that, The Problem was Quote:designed into the Constitution So The Problem really isn't Trump, and it's not Congress, it's the Founding Fathers and the Constitution??? Jeez, SECONDRATE, you sound unhinged. You can't figure out if the target of your rage is Texas Republicans, or Republicans, or Congress, or Trump, or Americans in general, or the Constitution! You're flailing around in all directions because you can't figure out who to be mad at, you're just mad because you didn't get your way (whatever that "way" is)? Yanno, you and the rest of the liberaloids here have been such assholes, it would be a pleasure to have Trump re-elected, just to watch your heads explode online all over again. SIX: He's not unhinged. He just has zero moral compass or any core beliefs from which his other beliefs are derived. He wanders aimlessly from thread to thread, changing his belief to fit whatever narrative of whatever argument he's getting into that second, completely disregarding what he's said not only in the distant past, but 15 minutes ago. Oh wait... "unhinged" kind of perfectly sums that up, doesn't it? Clinging to nothing, Second is like a fart in the wind.

So why do you keep running away from answering this simple question: Why do you think she's a viable candidate if she only gets 1.8% polling? Why should the DNC invest in her with such bad numbers?

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Evening the playing field instead of giving her an uphill battle? I understand that - as propagandized as Dems are these days- that Gabbard isn't everyone's cup of tea. But like all candidates, she deserves an even chance to get her ideas "out there" instead of being squashed, literally, by the M$M and tech giants AND the DNC. (Not that they have CIA and military contracts to worry about or, anything...) Yanno, you should wonder why it is that the Dems failed in 2016. Maybe they should have run a more viable candidate, instead of themselves putting such a heavy thumb on the scale that a loser like Hillary would become the standard-bearer.
