A good in-depth discussion of media bias in political reporting, or why is it that Biden voters are encouraged to understand an empathize with Trump voters but Trump voters are never asked to understand Biden voters?

    We’re on the same page I think, he’s done some amazing things and no one talks about it. Clinton wasn’t a great person but he was a good president. Carter was a great person but had some issues with being too nice for politics imo. He couldn’t make any deals with the devils but he can definitely sleep at night. We have so many corrupt people in our upper government that I don’t wish that job on anyone.

    I hope this guy runs someday: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Swalwell

      Swalwell certainly seems like a dude whose head is attached to his ass, a rare trait in DC.

      The episode where McCarthy said “Call me a coward again and I’ll kick your ass,” to which Swalwell replied “You. Are. A. Coward,” is also pretty endearing, despite his repetition of a gendered insult. (The word wasn’t coward)
