The former Attorney General of California who is already cozying up to Big Money is too obvious a choice.

Why wouldn't I think this? He's being promoted by the media at all outlets but hasn't captured any sort of support based on a policy proposal. Typical cult of personality bullshitWhat makes you think this?Anyone else think that Buttigieg is a corporate shill out to **** everyone?

Frankly I'm surprised that people DON'T realize that anyone getting major run amongst the major media outlets isn't, if not groomed, then at least snipped, trimmed and packaged up by multiple levels of the oligarchy starting with said media outlets and their own particular handlers.Why wouldn't I think this?

Actually, I shouldn't be surprised that people don't realize that. I'm actually surprised that I'm surprised.
Also, my favorite "Beto" (Robert Francis O'Rourke, lol) gaffe was the "join the PAC that's not a PAC PAC". I mean, they're barely trying at this point. And really, why should they? They don't really have to...

Edit to post the broader quote before Ackshually shows up and says it doesn't say what it says:
“The National parties and their presidential candidates, with the Eastern Establishment assiduously fostering the process behind the scenes, moved closer together and nearly met in the center with almost identical candidates and platforms, although the process was concealed as much as possible, by the revival of obsolescent or meaningless war cries and slogans (often going back to the Civil War). … The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can “throw the rascals out” at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy. … Either party in office becomes in time corrupt, tired, unenterprising, and vigorless. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies. [Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time (New York: Macmillan, 1966), pp. 1247-1248.]”

In order to even get your foot in the door for a presidential election, you have to have some sort of personality pull, unfortunately. I was just wondering if there was something out there that shows he wants to **** everyone, aside from media reaction.Why wouldn't I think this?

What I like about Boot Edge Edge is that every time has had a chance to rise to the occasion..... he has. (So far) That's not enough to gain my support as a candidate yet, but i confess it's a nice change of pace.
There was a story a month or so ago about how currently no one on the D side has quite the pull as Harris, and the only one with more juice is Nancy P. Talking about the ability to raise money for others, not fund your in war chest. In 2018, before anyone had announced, they looked at donations to all the potential candidates for the trailing 12 months. Klobuchar, Gillibrand, and I think two others had their biggest months coincide with Harris either sending her own email obo those candidates, or if the candidate sent an email that referenced Harris in the subject line; another candidate had their second best month in similar circumstances.
The decision, to the extent there is one, has already pretty much been made.

My comments re Harris are in the context of being a 'corporate stooge'. Barring scandal, i think she's going to be be the face of Big Democrat (?) for a very long time.

Correct--Buddhists and Muslims have been clashing for years. Even the Catholic minority is split between two different factions. This is the worst bloodshed since the end of their civil war, back when the Tamil Tigers were finally defeated.Incomprehensible.

This seems to be the more garden variety targeting of Christians by Islamic terrorists vs. sectarian stuff, though. No Buddhists involved.
