Will Jill Stein be able to make any impact on this election?

I doubt she'd want to break the habit of a lifetime.

A lot of people like to say that American politics, especially in the Trump era. Has a habit of aping pro wrestling. I definitely heard and saw elements of decent promo work in this speech by Ramaswamy. I haven't seen a lot of his political speaking. What I have seen has impressed me. He comes across as genuine, and someone who could be a positive influence in government.

Is this the same Ramaswamy who opposes abortion, called the LGBTQ+ spectrum a "cult" and is a huge conspiracy theorist? Do some fucking research.

Vivek is a MAGA crank, which is to say he doesn't really believe anything that isn't opportune right now. In the same way JD Vance was once a 'compassionate' working class small-c conservative who was actually something of a Trans-rights advocate. 

There was an article not that long ago I read by a friend of his who'd had top surgery, and Vance had apparently been their biggest supporter and been a good friend during their recovery. They stopped talking after he'd decided to pursue his political ambitions, which meant bending to the MAGA lot and becoming anti-trans.

In short, these people are awful not because they believe terrible things, but because they say and do terrible things and don't really concern themselves with the 'belief' part. Awful.

Look at this pathetic little chode. 

What about him impresses you, Big Jag?

Just amazing these people.

He's a Republican. They're all a bit mad. I definitely don't agree with his views on those subjects.

I don't think BigJag does research. He just sees stuff on social media and then immediately reacts in panic and/or outrage.

[BigJag]

No. You're wrong on that one.

I’m sorry this is how you found that most of the American Political viewers already knew. That Ramaswamy is just a well spoken but terrible prick.

But you're "impressed" by them.

Who's "them"? My post wasn't an endorsement of him. It was to highlight the delivery of his promo. I probably could have explained that better.

What the fuck is that woman?!

I avoid anything but surface level of American politics because I find it nauseating so if she is well known, I won't have heard of her.

Republican news pundit, been fairly in the public eye since Clinton (i think she wrote a book about the impeachment?). Seems like a horrible person (as most of the republican hatespeechmongers come across)
