Classical Astrologer wrote:[TULSI GABBARD] has been a soldier for 15 years and served in Iraq, including in the medical corp where she saw the cost of war up close, She knows the cost of war and can speak with more authority on the subject than any of her fellow Democrats seeking the Presidency in 2020. Moreover, at the age of 27, she served in the Hawaiian House of Representatives from 2002 – 2004 politics since the age of twenty-one, Presently, she serves as the first Samoan American and the first Hindu member of the United States Congress. The list continues. She has an unusual grasp of Foreign Affairs. In brief, any opponent has to know what they are up against. She has a common touch and charisma, but it’s plain that her own Party is doing what it can to suppress her.

She has first-hand experience of war and has every right to speak her mind on the issue. However, this goes far further than withdrawal from Afghanistan. She was elected to the Hawaiian House of Representatives at the age of 21. It’s far too easy to write someone off as a typical liberal, but in this case, she really isn’t and no matter what your political persuasion, she is worthy of respect. At times, I think she may have more admiration from outside her Party. Her stands on the Justice System are long-overdue and her point that a wealthy paedophile can escape a meaningful sentence, which the jails are full of non-violent drug offenders, some in for-profit private prisons. I fail to see why this would be a partisan issue. On one issue after another, she is well informed and her positions considered She is the most substantive candidate I’ve seen in a generation. No matter what happens. Major Gabbard will have made a strong impact on the future of American politics by expanding its range and awakening its conscience to the betterment of a just society.

Greta Thurnburg isn't protesting the system. She IS the system.
I been saying this for years, since its infancy. They are just giving cowards who know The Man is evil a reason to back The Man. They don't not see it because it is not clear, they don't see it because, deep down, they don't have the stones to face down the system. They want mommy and daddy to take care of them, consequences be damned, the world be damned. Evon though, deep down, they know.
Like Christian rap.

but you gotta fight fire with fire and hold your breath from the stench of politics until this thing resolves itself. the days of honest socialist coups lenin style are over. we have to do the whole 'gradual reform' thing, like a movie that's three hours but shoulda been an hour and a half, tops, because all the actors suck and the plot is lame.
