I really do wonder if Hillary will run again, Especially if Kamala decides not to run because of her large amount of unpopularity.

or "How dare someone more unpopular than me try to run!" - Clinton prior to announcing her candidacy.

I don't get the hype for Tim Scott. He hasn't really shown himself to be a big player like a lot of the names up there.

Yikes, let's avoid the usage of slurs like that.

@ConservativeElector2 and @SilentLiberty Did you two not read my verification post to WVProgressive when he first made a, "disagree," emote, or, again, is this an attempt at humour?

I think my main reason for hitting disagree is the usage of the term 'Uncle Tom' which is a term often used to disparage Black political opponents, implying that they can't think for themselves, and that their being bossed around by White people. I'd assume that's also the reason why @ConservativeElector2 and @SilentLibertyput a disagree emote on your post.

From what I know of Tim Scott, he appears to be a Tea Party Conservative like Sarah Palin, so I'm definitely not a supporter of his, and would not vote for him in any realistic circumstance.

Just for future reference, I'm a girl, and I use she/her pronouns. It's nothing major, and I'm sure its just a minor mistake, but the fact that you used he/him to refer to me in your post caught my eye.

You missed the point of the post, why I used strikethrough (some @Timur does for contentious posts made in such a font have been just as, "edgy,"), and I made that clear in my follow-up post to @WVProgressive. But since you've clearly shown your new modus operandi and viewpoint to these affairs in your complete melt down of all credibility last night, it's no surprise it wasn't grasped by you - or perhaps, even, deliberately not acknowledged.

No, I understand what you were going for. That does not give you carte blanche to use offensive racialized language in doing so. I'm just expressing my personal discontent with the language you chose to use as I find it unbecoming of civil discourse.

Scott is more like Rubio (more likely to go along with the party than the Tea Party but not fully aligned with leadership either)

In 2024. She'll be a definite dotard candidate, too... 😞

With the upper echelons of politics dominated by elders, but relying on instigating youth group support, and even hooliganism, American politics - in that description, alone - doesn't look that different from PRC politics... 🤨

Your use of that word reminds me of this:

@WVProgressive To be fair, that's my own suspicion (that's why strikethrough was used). I, myself, have no idea what makes him popular, as I don't know much about his distinguishing policies or attituding. I was just reiterating controversial rumours, and, like @Timur does when he makes such a statement (and your rarely slap him with an automatic, 'disagree,' emote). So, that you've been informed it's the same pattern of @Timur's use of that font for posts in a similar vain, ones that you almost never put such an emote, if you could please also remove your hastily placed, 'disagree,' emote, here, too - to show a lack of double standards.

Are you referring to the Sked tweet or something else?

Not that one specifically, no. You've showed the trend I speak of quite often.

What rumors exactly. Examples please - I'd assume the Sked one was one of them - a mistake I made.

@Patine don't forget to take the poll if you're going to comment on the thread. This applies to everyone.
