    it's not the worse idea.
    I don't claim we can not lead it's our role like it or not, but I'm sure tired of interventionism

    He obviously cannot afford to live in the most liberal enclave in the country, Cambridge MA. Those white liberals like Warren do not let the common liberal riff raff anywhere near them.

    The urban areas are the places in the US with all the wealth and talent. The rural areas that vote for Trump are unlivable hellholes.

    That's what conservatism does to a place, it ruins it. Mississippi is the natural product of 300 years of conservative rule.

    Living in a real state is so much better than living in a Trumpist fascist hellhole. Everything is better here. The people are nicer, the community colleges here look better than the universities back in Mississippi. That's what rightism does to a place, it ruins it. Rightism is ruining the entire US right now, we'll be a third world country in 20 years at this rate.

    Looks like America ain't getting any greater as promised, based upon recent events, the opposite seems more appropriate

    And what is with all them there socialist leaning nations ranked ahead of the United States, what's up with that, haven't conservatives been telling us for years anything close to socialism is evil
    hey, we'd better be fucking last on the leftist scale.
    Free speech is cool as long as it jibes with our program.
