IMHO, politics isn't something I feel is (usually) an acceptable talking point on a site like this. Although, having said that, there only are the half-dozen or so of us who even post at all any more, so it's a moot point really!
And it's as worthy of discussion as my now-defunct viewing thread!!
Anyway .. .. I've struggled for years to understand how to tell the difference between Republicans and Democrats in terms of right- or left-wing. To most here in the UK, even the Democrats seem pretty far right compared to our Conservatives, but now our Left (the Labour Party as they're called) seem to be eschewing the core voters of yore and going down the same, or similar, abhorrent path in terms of social care, education and health as the party they've just ousted! Given I work in our NHS (National Health Service - free at the point of use!) that's a huge concern on a personal level.
But the nub of the matter is this; we over here saw how terribly T-Rump did last time out on a global, local and personal level. This time, there's NO hiding the level of corruption and spite in the man, plus Musk-o-vite seems to have bought his way into the very heart of your political system!! I mean, HOW did that happen? How is it allowed to continue? Why aren't the rest of the world acting NOW, before Trumph wipes the developed world out?
I'm scared in a way I've never been before - and I used to jump out of aeroplanes for a living as a younger man!!
