And you see a difference in those little bots and the ones retweeting AOC or Bernie? Is that an actual, qualitative difference, or one based on personal political positions?

You see, everything you're saying is being said by Trumpanzees all over the country, just with different villains. No doubt you know you're right, and can buttress your position with facts and figures and whatnot, but they think exactly the same thing.

It's like fundy Christians, they just know in their heart they're right, but then you talk to a fundy Muslim and it's same shit, different dogma.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Well Lak, I'm not familiar with the AOC or Bernie bots, but I learned of the Trump ones by reading the Mueller report, sworn testimony, and indictments.

Is there similar evidence to support the existence of what Trump supporters are claiming, or that they are making that claim?

If there is, I'd be interested in seeing it. If not, then yes I see a difference between the two.

Another piece encouraging politicians to dumb down their message so as to avoid giving the other side ammunition. :lol:

When you're tempted to go there I advise you to take a deep breath, and remember research has long shown that campaigns are not capable of convincing people to vote for anything. They mostly just remind people to vote.

a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

Lak, it's true that there are some commonalities between politicians of all stripes, basically down to the egotism, drive for power and flexible personal ethics. But you can only take the "they're all utter bastards" line so far. There are enough differences in policy, plus insanity levels, for discerning voters to make choices, even if it comes down to choosing the lesser of 2 evils...

Kamala made a good speech at debate. There is a lot of control this time, candidates not letting moderators run it.

Other than the healthcare is divided:
1 Biden
2 warren sanders
3 the rest...not really relevant

But jeez, Biden, he fails to back up his fellow Demceats when they attack Trump, such as Harris.

"Vice President Castro"

Quite a ring to it, enough to get the survivors of the Bay of Pigs spinning in their graves... :tea:
