Its about self censorship also i think. By making an example of a public figure, you make the audience self censor their thoughts in public.

People want to fit in and they dont want to upset others, so it works.

I think you are right. Its just sad but it is true.

Americans dont really know how to judge a persons character... Look at the choices for the last few decades... They have all been horrible people, except maybe Joe Biden who was unable to function instead.

Yes, Jon seems like a good person but I dont think good people are attracted to career politics. Its for the snakes and the lizards.

But yeah, he would be a good fit if he wanted to sacrifice his happiness for that role. I think he is way too smart for that.

Trump, though, has shown little interest in discussing either of his former friends, and on Tuesday rambled on for seven minutes and 41 seconds, generating 1,281 words, about Obama and his top aides, claiming that they had illegally begun an investigation about the help he received from Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to win the 2016 presidential election.

LOL. :)

Honestly i think its just the endgame now for America. Trump gave tons of money to build up a massive secret police (ICE) and while they may come "only" for foreign criminals right now, they will be used against Americans in the future. It simular to Hitler and how he went after jews in the beginning.

Also the entire thing with Trump about bringing as much of production within their own borders, feels like he plans for the country to become more and more isolated from other countries in the future.

I think its a good time to look at options to get out of the United States if you can.

I think we are wasting our lives to a certain degree. As kids, we expected more from life than sitting in front of a computer to feed the family. And sitting at a computer is seen as one of the "good" jobs.

Yeah I have given up on the system but you are right, its not much to gain from that attitude. I just cant change it for myself. Too much experience watching these guys.

You make a fair point though.

What did he promise?

Possibly, but they are also not getting this kind of publicity. American politics seems to be about being very extreme in your views, and they dont have to be true, just appear to be on the peoples side.

I thought he was a nominee? Article says that anyway. But still, there is zero chance that any of these guys will make any changes that are helping the ordinary people and hurts billionaries. Its a system where they have money and power and most of the citizens do not.

People are desperate for hope, and thats why his strategy is working. It is simular to Trumps own strategy also. They all come out and act as if they represent the ordinary people, and everyone buys it every time.

Having government confirm age of users is the beginning of having to use a real id to use the internet. Thats the wet dream of governments and big tech, but its a total nightmare for privacy and discussing things without your real name being known.

Just watch linkedin and see how discussions are extreamly limited there, since people dont want to discuss sensitive things in front of others using their real name.
