ECCO,
Pointing out your lack of compassion was not a sly remark, or a cheap shot, it was a clear observation about your comment to another poster. "Why address that to me? Either stay
content in your ignorance or do some research and
get enlightened". Clearly this demonstrates your lack of compassion for her moral and justified outrage. Also, "...]people like you believed Bernie could change the world. When he (the Independent running in the Democratic primaries) didn't get nominated,
a lot of people, perhaps like you, sulked, didn't vote, or out of pique, voted for Trump.". These are the reasons I stated, and still do, that compassion, and sensitivity are not your strong suits. Now let's address all your deflections, conflations, non-sequiturs, false analogies, insinuations, and false equivalencies.
It is YOUR blind optimism that is part of the problem. That is, the ends will always justify the means. This is Trumpism 101.
None of these specific smears and hit pieces levelled at Tulsi, were levelled at Trump, on the 1st day he announce he was going to run. But nice deflection.
This is not about the level of political literacy, this is about the level of gullibility of the people, in believing whatever mainstream media spews out.
This is not about the validity of polls(although they can be easily rigged). This is about changing the rules to protect the interests of the party, and its donors.
This is not about what our Founding Fathers, envisioned about types of guns we should own(straw man), it is about a Government that is ruled by the people. and not by the Rich or the Few.
This is not about taking all money out of politics. This is about taking legalized bribery out of politics, and not giving Corporate America an unfair advantage at the political table.
Clearly, you are a dichotomous thinker. You see nothing between the cause and the effect. She looses because she couldn't get the votes. If she can't get the votes, then she looses. Tough luck, so get over it. I'm afraid I'm more of a lateral thinker. I question how she could win both debates, affect everyone that she meets on a personal level, have talent, intelligence, experience, authenticity, have a practical message and solution, and still be low on the polls? I also wonder who would be most affected if the Commander and Chief, decided to bring our soldiers home, and stop all regime-change wars. Then I research the Fossil Fuel Industries, and the military Industrial Complex's influence on Corporate and mainstream media, and the donors to the DNC. Clearly, having Tulsi's message heard by a wider audience, would not be in their best interest. And, Corporate America knows it. They know,
that most Americans don't want America to be the policemen of the world.
that most Americans want the social issues at home to be addressed, not the problems in other countries
that most American don't want to see soldiers, civilians, and children dying or being wounded, although it would raise ratings for Corporate media.
that most American would be outraged over how Corporate America can manufacture consent(WMD's), or manufacture choice.
that most Americans take the opinions of mainstream media as gospel, and never read past the headlines
that most Americans will respond the same, when they hear words like "Socialism, "Cultism" "Putin or Russia", "White Supremist", "Assad", etc.
Clearly, we have a difference of opinion. I believe that our political system should not be rigged/influenced by those with power and money, and you don't seem to care. And, since I'm not interested in jumping in one irrelevant rabbit hole after another, or am unwilling to accept your cynical brand of fatalism and realism about our Democracy, we really don't have any common ground. I gave you my opinion, and the facts supporting them. These facts are still happening today, even though this traitor is commanding troops on exercise in Indonesia. She is unfortunately not here to defend herself against these smears. Wonder how these smears will effect her polling? You do know that debunked smears, are really LIES, don't you? You do know that just because it is a conspiracy theory, doesn't mean that it is not true, right? Or do you not care either way? It seems that doing the right thing, will cost her everything.
