Barry isn’t a troll, Cynthia. I’ve been watching his posts for a while now. He’s a Bernie-style progressive, which for reasons I don’t understand seems to shock some people here. Believe me, he’s a good guy who’s just trying to point out some inconvenient truths.
Wow thank you so much. There is nothing more frustrating than being gaslit, although perhaps sometimes my wording is a bit strong or too angry (which I am). I think my insights are shocking to those who consume corporate media, because I'm sure as you know most of what the Democrats do that is harmful or deceptive is not covered on MSNBC, CNN or NPR. I really appreciate your courage in sticking up for me, obviously we are in the minority on this board, and sadly it's much the same on Thom Hartmann's page. But anytime one challenges the consensus they are bound to be ostracized (like Bernie!).
I think we’re all angry at this point. I know I’ve lost it a few times on here, which I don’t like to do. These lunatics are making us all crazy. But honestly, you remind me of how a lot of people were in the sixties. You don’t hear that point of view so much anymore but I’m very familiar with it. I don’t know that you and I agree on everything but I am in general sympathy. You’ve got guts! 😀
Nobody has to agree on everything, but the problem becomes one of cheerleading for a team that does not have our best interests in mind while pointing out that they are better than Republicans. Someone has to take a stand and stop the Democrats from pretending they are doing good when their legislation is merely designed to allow them to campaign on passing legislation! But most of that legislation is one step forward and two-steps back, and I could debate anyone on the ACA in regards to how it has privatized our health care system to the point of crisis. Same with this vaunted "climate legislation." https://www.levernews.com/study-manchins-pipeline-bill-would-be-a-climate-nightmare/
Perhaps you should talk to Hillary Clinton about that--https://www.commondreams.org/news/2022/09/02/hillary-clinton-under-fire-supportive-remarks-far-right-pm-contender-italy
My thoughts exactly. Fox news addict.

I completely agree.
Nope, truth addict. https://medium.com/@barrykaufman/incremental-change-the-democrats-prescription-for-disaster-f8dd5b6d80d5
You are either for or against Fascism.
Your statement reminds me of something....https://www.voanews.com/a/a-13-a-2001-09-21-14-bush-66411197/549664.html

This is a midterm election. NO Democrats should be opposed.
Sometime you have to suck it up and live to fight another day.
