Tulsi: "Reckless claims by anonymous intelligence officials that Russia is âhelpingâ Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) are deeply irresponsible. So was former New York City Mayor Michael Bloombergâs calculated decision Tuesday to repeat this unsubstantiated accusation on the debate stage in South Carolina. Enough is enough. I am calling on all presidential candidates to stop playing these dangerous political games and immediately condemn any interference in our elections by out-of-control intelligence agencies.
A ânews articleâ published last week in The Washington Post, which set off yet another manufactured media firestorm, alleges that the goal of Russia is to trick people into criticizing establishment Democrats. This is a laughably obvious ploy to stifle legitimate criticism and cast aspersions on Americans who are rightly skeptical of the powerful forces exerting control over the primary election process. We are told the aim of Russia is to âsow division,â but the aim of corporate media and self-serving politicians pushing this narrative is clearly to sow division of their own â by generating baseless suspicion against the Sanders campaign.
(Tulsi is right here â and sheâs right when she says that:)
The American people have the right to know this information in order to put Russiaâs alleged âinterferenceâ into proper perspective. It is a mystery why the Intelligence Community would want to hide these details from us. Instead it is relying on highly dubious and vague insinuations filtered through its preferred media outlets, which seem designed to create a panic rather than actually inform the public about a genuine threat.
All this does is undermine votersâ trust in our elections, which is what we are constantly told is the goal of Russia.
She also accurately notes how the âcorporate media will do everything they can to turn the general election into a contest of who is going to be âtougherâ on Russia. This tactic is necessary to propagandize the American people into shelling over their hard-earned tax dollars to the Pentagon to fund the highly lucrative nuclear arms race that the military-industrial complex craves.â
Apparently political discourse has reached a nadir wherein one cannot point out any deficiency whatsoever in a presidential candidate who is not Trump without being called a Russian agent.
This is not a good forum for political discourse and never has been. People hide behind their pseudonyms and there is no accountability. Meanwhile, I'm curious how many people had to Google 'nadir'.
Oh wow, where to begin. Firstly have you tried to have political discussions elsewhere in the digital world? People hide behind pseudonyms (had to look that one up) everywhere in the digital world so the only place to avoid this is face to face irl which unless you know the person very well I do NOT recommend. People done lost their minds out there much worse than in here. Secondly you seem to be questioning the intelligence andor education level of RP forum members and without full background knowledge of the listeners and forum participants I would feel comfortable in saying that the education and intelligence level of us here in this forum is considerably higher than the rest of the digital world. Now, if you would excuse me I have to go feed my pit bull, change the oil in the Camaro and power wash my trailer. My Earnhart flag is getting rather raggedy too so I gots to get another from the Nascar store. And I done heared that Nadir is that little chick in the O lympiks so there.
I'm not questioning anything about anybody else. I'm speaking from personal experience over the past 15 years, including my own bad behavior, which I try to moderate. But thanks for the input.
And I apologize for the extreme snark. I actually feel the total opposite regarding this forum, I feel it is the only place to have reasonable political discussion because I actually have high regard for the members here including you, Sir than the great unwashed of the digitial world in regards to intelligent, somewhat objective and for the most part mature rapport. This is the only place I discuss politics because of this so I guess I got a little defensive of us all. I rather like it here is all. I do know one thing though, music is the universal language of love and understanding and the love of it is something we all have in common.
No worries here, friend. I didn't take as snarky. I don't do social media anymore - deactivated my FaceBook account, never had Twitter or Instagram, and I don't frequent blogs. Essentially RP is only social media outlet. More of an IRL guy I guess.
I suppose it depends on how one defines "reasonable political discussion". I very much enjoy a healthy political discourse of diverse opinions. but I personally I find it difficult to do so here. I'm not passing judgements, I just know my boundaries.
RP is 99% about the music for me. I work from home & have an Alexa device with RP playing all through the day, and listen to it often in my truck via the RP App.

I don't see how, at this point, the Russian machine isn't folding up its tables and going home for the next 4 years. Their work here is done.

Not trying to be snarky here, but have to ask: if this is your view of the political discourse in this forum and the, er, quality of its participants, why do you post in these political threads?

Well, you start by not electing someone who's been impeached.
Maybe, maybe not. That is why you have to have non partisan impeachment. If not it loses its power whether those on either partisan side like it or not.
