Exactly my point - I have no issues with my money going to those who have a genuine need for it. Veterans, people with disabilities etc. But johnwoo likes to jump to conclusions, like most libtards.

These crackpot liberals, that decide to go and do a 'media' or 'liberal arts' degree, get themselves into debt and then miraculously can't find a job - and then blame it on everyone else are the people I'm referring to.

Every now and then I read a post on here that is so hilarious that I can't help laughing out loud at it. But then I feel bad because they don't know any better.

That particular poster is unable to post without adding insults against people who disagree with him. Seems like a sure sign of an inability to argue rationally.

Disproportionate anger at people who are really causing him no harm seems to be his debating style.

It took a little longer than I thought, but Biden is finally tanking in the polls. I was a little worried that Democrats would really be so stunningly stupid to give Trump a second term by nominating Biden. But it looks like they have seen the light. The fact that it has been aided by Biden's failson trading off the family name finally being called out is nice.

I see Liz has finally seen sense and promised not to take big money in the general. She will still be a disappointing President unless she develops the courage to call out the corruption in her own party and steals the other parts of Bernie's political revolution message and actually means it.

At the moment I can't see voting for anyone of them, from either party.

Trump, with that tweet at Turkey demonstrated he is mentally unstable, apart from all the other actions which disqualify him. I look for someone who could serve 2 terms without the risk of dying or going senile. That lets out Biden, Sanders and maybe Warren, who is too progressive anyway. None of the others have as yet made a decent impression. Short of someone rising from the ashes, I shall abstain from voting for a president if nothing changes.

Plenty of younger candidates such as Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Booker. Other than the fact they haven't made a mark in the polls, why do you dismiss them?

Speaking of jumping to conclusions!

FYI. Please don't call me Liberal, I'm a socialist.

I don't dismiss them. However unless they up their game and come to the fore, they are not going to be in the final reckoning. The choice that will be offered will be Trump or one of the three democratic front runners.

i suppose you are aware, ‘liberal arts’ includes economics, chemistry, physics, biosciences (etc.) Maybe ‘liberal arts’ is not exactly what you meant in that imprecise diatribe?

This will happen naturally when Biden implodes.

I'm in Mayor Pete's camp. Is he perfect? No. But he's pretty compelling.

I certainly was not aware, so thanks for the education! I always assumed "liberal arts' was essentially the opposite of STEM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Maths)

What an utterly misleading term!

Only in terms of the current usage of the word liberal. As that link points out, it derives from the Latin term " liberalia studia".

Well, really, it's not just the term 'liberal' that's misleading ... what about 'arts' ? I know that 'art' can have many interpretations also ('the art of the deal' ), but, arts would generally suggest painting, music, and so on.
