I'm not referring to Harris; I mean racism and misogyny since the founding of the country that got us here.

Mostly it was racism and misogyny that got us here, imo.

I likely favor as much/more radical change as you do - if i had my way I'd ditch the Constitution and start over.

But I also am practical about what can be done immediately in such a flawed system, especially since most people don't agree with me.

I disagree that everyone in the Senate is useless.

Anyway, you will likely get your wish - he looks to be winning the nomination, and very well may beat Collins.

Just don't be surprised if he turns out to be Fetterman 2.0 when it comes time to vote against Trumpism.

"Everyone had zero experience before they became a public servant."

That misses my point, which was: should someone's FIRST public service job be the U.S. Senate? I say no - it's not for beginners.

The rest of your comment is a caricature and strawman.

You: "Iran attacked Israel on 10/7".

Also you: "Iran was surprised Hamas attacked Israel on 10/7"

🥱

The Washington Institute is hardly an unbiased source.

More importantly, no one says Iran and Hamas aren't allies. You said they are "one and the same" entity. Yet you point out that Iran was caught by surprise by Oct 7. Doesn't quite sound like they are one and the same.

Bye now.

Illustrating that simply asserting something doesn't make it true. Sorry you missed the point.

Most everyone is left of the HF 😎

Ugh. Glad you got out.

Platner has essentially zero governance experience (unlike Mamdani), and I think elevating someone who hasn't even sat on a city council all the way up to the U.S. Senate is unwise.

He has a lot of dodgy past he has good excuses for. I prefer candidates who don't need good excuses for their past.

Trump is going to ram peace right down Iran's throat.

South Carolina vomited up Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, and Nancy Mace onto the nation. What a pathetic state.

Whoa, whoa, putting Platner in the same league as Mamdani? Yikes.

I blame many people, including the founders. They gave us things like the Electoral College, a bizarre Senate model (see below), and of course, a govt. where only white men could vote. The DNA was bad to begin with. We've been battling it ever since.

Stupid voters don't help, of course.

Trump freeing Iranian citizens from oppression by murdering them.

Given the Cassidy Hutchinson situation, tell Mr. Dean to be ready for them to "investigate" him for testifying against Nixon.

Just so he can laugh.

What a great system the founders set up, that allowed this maniac to rule.

Killing thousands of Iranians because one purportedly is concerned about them living under a theocratic regime is an odd strategy.

Trump thinks the way to relieve Iranians from the oppression of the regime there is to kill them.

The fact Empty G said she didn't expect Trump to not release the files is pretty telling about how gullible she was.

Every Republican will defend Noem.

Trump: "Look, I feel very badly for the oppressed Iranian people. I will bomb and kill them, and they won't be oppressed anymore. They won't be able to thank me, but that's OK, I never get any credit."

Good job missing the point.

Hey man, you can keep willfully conflating what people are saying or we an wise up and try to fix things. You get to pick.

What a powerful and thorough argument you have assembled.

Also, 2 + 2 = 17,824

Soon enough Biden won't be President anymore.

You miss the point.
