It's OK to not like certain people, just say one thing you don't like about their policies in a sterile way and build it up from there. Don't lose yourself in it.

lol was kinda suggesting that people do that with Trump but there's no chance.

What's your issue with Rand Paul?

No I don't like Cruz or Republicans in general. That shows how extreme the Left has gone, when I'm here thinking that Republicans are the sane ones! They party doesn't realize how they're pushing so many supporters away.
 
This look is why I doubt I'd ever vote for Harris. Fake as shit. Doubt you'll ever see Bernie doing this.

All women have to fake concern, emotion, etc and I don't blame them for it, it's what society has programmed them for.

Hillary and Obama would make similar faces, gestures, empty gestures. Does it matter? Shouldn't the fake concern be just as comforting?
 
Also photographic freeze frames can be extremely misleading. There's this photo of me from when I was playing a show 4 years ago, where the freeze frame makes it look like I'm collapsing into a ketamine-fueled stupor on my keyboard, but really I was sober and just jamming hard. But the photo would absolutely 100% be used by the media if I were famous to make it seem like I was a hot mess. It's crazy, I have this slack jawed look with my eyes rolled back into my head and I look like I'm in the middle of falling over; that was not, in fact, happening at all. Probably the next few milliseconds later a photo wouldn't have looked anything like that.
 
Eh...I think there's a difference between normal fake emotion from politicians and whatever the fuck that was. Why should women have to act all wholesome and caring? Harris was an effective prosecutor, I doubt she acted that way in the courtroom. Be a prosecutor, be a hardass...show the Voters you ain't skeered of going toe to toe with trump.

i tend to agree. i'm not sure how one can take much about a person's values from a still picture. they say we don't see things as they are but as we are. i think that's very true.

what do i conclude about our president from this picture?

Using professional cameras, hundreds of CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK sounds in a minute, the best one selected in the hours and days later to best help aid a fake news story. Yes, this is the future.

Winston had a bomb ass job and I'm just waiting till my services are needed.

How will you ever really know what's in someone's head? Have you mediated on this much mal? I know you're a smart guy that's why I ask. All people really know is their subjective experience and many will go to any length just to connect, or pretend like they care (they normally do but it can be near impossible to display this at times, especially during mental states like depression).

I haven't seen footage of Harris in a courtroom. I'd probably play "the part" even harder, is what I'm getting at. I don't see Harris as a disingenuous woman.

Mal who's your favorite dem candidate? Still Sanders like 3 years ago? That's cool if it is, just wondering :)
 
what in the hell does that have to do with femininity?

yeah my favorite dem candidate is still Bernie. When I look at Bernie, I see a person who I know believes what he says. A person who, if elected, would work tirelessly to deliver on his campaign rhetoric.

When I look at most of the others, I see calculating politicians trying to figure out how to get elected. Regardless of what the used to believe, they will adapt and believe whatever the data tells them. Then, if they're elected, they will come closer to the center in order to maximize their approval ratings.
 
TBH I have no idea who or what Harris stands for. I think she objectively looks feminine from that picture.

The loose wrist with the hand holding the chest. The tilted head with observing eyes. I've seen many women do this look.
 
I guess... looks more robotic to me.

I dont hate her or anything... I'm just saying, she's the 2019 female version of John Kerry.

i just refuse to give in to ageism and ignore the most experienced, authentic, and passionate person in the race. One who has essentially already proven his viability as a national candidate... with a young energetic VP at his side, all age/health concerns go out the window.
 
I've been out of the loop. So I tried to do a quick research on Harris and the first story that pops up is about something I also no nothing about, Smollet.


I think I'll just bury my head in the sand for another while...

If Sanders gets elected I'd wonder what would happen to drug prices. TBPH that's what I'm concerned with the most of all these little facets. I'm sure there will still be a poor-person health insurance for me no matter what at this point.

When Harris was running as a CA senator she would say things like the war on drugs is a failure, and we need to legalize marijuana so I voted for her. Way better than Diane.
 
IMO you cannot understand the psychology of politicians until you've delved deep into the field of psychopathy
 
The most representative person is the person the people choose to represent them...

ageism is is a real thing. Don't make light of it
 
"BREAKING: Presidential candidates Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders have voted "NO" on a bill that would've required doctors to provide medical care to infants born alive after an attempted abortion"

By a vote of 53-44, the Senate has failed to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act - the dirty RINO's expose themselves further..

Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign raised about $6 million in the 24 hours after the Vermont senator joined the 2020 presidential race. Less than a week later, campaign officials said they raised $10 million from nearly 360,000 donors, according to a New York Times report published Monday. The initial $6 million came from roughly 225,000 donors with an average donation of $27, Sanders tweeted. "Since yesterday morning, the response to our campaign has been incredible," Sanders previously said in his tweet. "We are just getting started. Let's stand together to transform this country."

Ten hours after announcing he would run in the 2020 US presidential election, Sanders had already raised more than $4 million from nearly 150,000 individual donors, the campaign said in an email last week. Faiz Shakir, Sanders' campaign manager, could not confirm the exact dollar figure at the time but said in an email to INSIDER it was "YUGE." Sanders's numbers set a new record in first-day donations in the 2020 race. Sen. Kamala Harris, another 2020 Democratic candidate, previously held the title after raising $1.5 million from 38,000 donors within the first day of her campaign, Politico reported in January. Harris' first-day campaign donations averaged $37.

Sanders confirmed he was running for president during a previous interview with Vermont Public Radio. "I wanted to let the people of the state of Vermont know about this first," Sanders said in the interview. "And what I promise to do is, as I go around the country, is to take the values that all of us in Vermont are proud of, a belief in justice, in community, in grassroots politics, in town meetings; that's what I'm going to carry all over this country." "I have been very blessed in my life with good health," Sanders added. "I'm very lucky that as a kid I was a long-distance runner, and I think I had and still have a great deal of energy. So I would ask people to look at the totality of who I am, my energy level, my record in the US Senate, and not just at one criterion." If elected, Sanders would be 79 years old at the time of his inauguration and the oldest US president in history.

He joins a number of other Democrats who have declared their candidacies, including Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro, Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, former Rep. John Delaney of Maryland, the acclaimed author Marianne Williamson, and the former tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang.
