2020 Election

Be happy to have a cool gay couple in the WH

Him and his hubby are way too Leave it to Beaver

 

what if it were Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi? I think they're married... Are they?

Anyway, I think Pete is cool because he was in the Navy. he worked in intelligence according to Wikipedia.

 

Petes a little too mormonish though, fluoro white teeth, mormon haircut, needs to stop wearing white shirts with dark ties to distance himself from looking like that guy that knocks on your door wanting to talk about Jesus. Could do with a beard maybe

Ironically, he needs a full makeover

 

Well... I do know what you mean. But that Mormon morality lends itself to taking the edge off of his sexuality in office. He does look conservative; maybe because of the naval intelligence. They probably have a strict code of conduct.

I bet Pete Buttigieg has some interesting stories.

 

Imo

Bloomberg is the only one who has any chance in HELL of defeating the Donald.

All the other dems are:
Prehistoric style speeches
Politically correct ideas
Boring
&
il-energizing <(made up word)

 

don't buy it, Pete's...

he was behind stop and frisk in New York.

 

I got to buy it.

Popular Billionaire mayor businessman

vs.​

Popular Millionaire businessman POTUS.

Everyone else...... yawn....

I wish I was Bloomberg's campaign manager/adviser. We'd show this country a fun and galvanizing fight to the WH

 

I wont vote if it comes down to two billionaires, one of whom is like 50 times richer than our current president. What's the point. At that point I'll just admit rich people rule this country and give up

Maybe move to New Zealand

 

Rich people have ruled this country for the last 100+ years.

 

Not really
From 1932 to 1986 the marginal tax rate ranged anywhere from 50% up to 90%

Which is why Bernie Sanders is the only candidate I've ever really cared that much about, because he wants to return to the policies that actually made this country an economic powerhouse and created and for years sustained the largest middle class in the world

 

I looked up Bernie's net worth.
2.5 million he's kinda rich

 

Because he wrote a book within the last couple of years.
I have nothing against someone making a very good living in an honest way.
I have something against rich people getting involved in politics just so they can push for policies that benefit the rich.
Bernie's policies wouldnt benefit the wealthy.

 

My comment about "Rich people have ruled this country for the last 100+ years" was just a general point of all the millionaires and billionaires in the world influence politics in some way.

 

I looked it up. Not that I didn't believe you, I was very curious as to how much was Bernie's worth.

v​

Sanders' July 2015 personal filing lists assets valued at between $194,026 and $741,000 in his wife Jane Sanders' name -- with the majority of these assets held in investment funds. The filing also lists credit card debt between $25,002 and $65,000.


You definitely know your facts Mel

 

No way, DeGeneres' game show is the stupidest thing on TV. Worse than The Apprentice even. Enough of the game show hosts in the White House.

 

Buttigieg? I know right? I dont dislike him exactly, but at the same time something about him bugs me

 

You dont talk about politics much but I sense we probably dont see eye to eye..so i just wanna say, thanks for the civil and respectful exchange. You're a class act pete

 

Debates kick off in 10. Feels like I'm watching a sporting event. Go...YANG!!!!!

 

Thanks Mel for your interaction.
It was good for me and I learned something.

 

Yang got the loudest cheer when he entered the stage
