I mean, here we are, the actual voting Democrats on the board of a liberal band like PJ.com, and we all seem to be in shock. The people here that seem to gravitate to the policies of the very progressive wing are our friends from Canada, Australia and Europe. I mean no disrespect to them, but the point is that every time I see an opinion from someone that I know is in the US, it's much closer to the moderate position than the hard progressive. I'm very, very worried because these candidates are not representing mainstream views.Halifax2TheMax said:Meltdown99 said:Smellyman said:Meltdown99 said:If it comes across that I am critiquing the US treatment of Native Americans, I am not...more curious to why it is not ever a campaign issue?

I'm going to be skeptical of what's out there for any candidate, not just Joe.

Disinformation, smears, and lies has always been a part of American politics. I’m personally more worried about the integrity of our voting machines.

Closed for review. Done, thread is now cleaned up.
Some people are a heartbeat away from losing posting privileges.
THIS IS AN ALL-AGES FORUM. SEE THE POSTING GUIDELINES AND DON'T FORGET THIS AGAIN.
All sex-toy discussion or mentions of it or quotes of it have been deleted. This thread will likely reopen at some point.
I'm at a loss for further words.

Hoping to see some good, on-topic stuff here in the coming months. This next election (far off though it may be) is bigger than BIG.

I'm very, very worried because these candidates are not representing mainstream views.
Anyway, I am an American, and I have not voted in a presidential election since 2000 (maybe 2004) simply because there has not been a candidate who was young enough and progressive enough for me to check the box next to his or her name. I still vote for issues and local candidates who meet my criteria, but I imagine I'll be leaving a blank box again in 2020.
I don't think I'm the only American out there like this. I'm sure some hold their nose and check a box, but I would guess that more progressives show up, vote for legal weed, against existing discriminatory policies that affect the LGBTQ+ community, for their local progressive candidates, and throw up in their mouth a little when they see the presidential candidates who have to put their teeth in to eat breakfast, leaving that spot blank.
There are a couple of candidates who would actually get me excited to go to the polls this time around, but I'm almost certain that they'll be put back in their place by the establishment jackasses, their media mouthpieces and their donors by the time November 2020 rolls around.I SAW PEARL JAM0 -

1. Free healthcare for undocumented immigrants
2. Waiving 1.6 trillion in student loans
3. Reparations
4. Re-instituting federally mandated busing
Legal weed and equal rights are pretty mainstream items. I wouldn't even call them progressive.0 -
