My granddad was a Pole. He fought with Sosabowski at Warsaw and later again in the Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade. He didn't talk much about it. Basically shrugged and said it was a job....


That's been much of my experience as well. Dad and brother don't talk about it, none of my friends do. It's just not something discussed.

Eh I may tell ya some funny stories if I like ya but that's it. Most of the time it was pretty mundane

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

"sanity"

Yes luv too be sane and cut social programs, abortion access, go after unions, etc etc

I meant "sanity" as in temperment and rhetoric rather than, y'know, actual substance and policy.

That, right there, is true "centrism". :lol:

A Kasich administration with Hickenlooper as VP would be an improvement on the Trump presidency in every conceivable way. It wouldn't be my first choice, but when my options are both evil then I'll take the lesser.

Sanity, as I assume you mean, doesn't come from ideology, it comes from rhetoric and the bounds campaigners are going to push for a quick vote.

A fascist could come off as the sanest-sounding person in the country, if he tried hard enough.

Also known as, we're going to reinvent the spectrum, and make shit up.

Kasich is a firm conservative by any standard. Not just American. He just talks like a regular person. His policies are anything but centrist.

I prefer more of a Dem candidate, but Kasich and Hickenlooper would beat Trump, but need to work out differences if it happens.

Probably. But are there any Democrats who are talking about running in 2020 right now? I'm not sure how we're supposed to compare a hypothetical Democratic ticket to a barely-more-than-hypothetical Republi-crat ticket.
