SFBadger96: I am--unabashedly--liberal. That impacts my worldview, undoubtedly. I'm also a realist who understands something about how our constitutional republic is supposed to work, which means I tend to back centrists...left-leaning centrists. To be fair, more than centrists, I back people who I think are effective at governing within our constitutional system (with a left-leaning perspective). One of the saving graces of the Trump presidency (in my opinion) is how incompetent he and his adherents are. Thank goodness. But my big fear is how effectively he's turned us even more on each other, and how no matter how crazy the things he and his lieutenants say, they become part of his followers beliefs shortly thereafter--even when they are clearly projections.

I gave up on our System years ago, just gave up.  I don't care who wins.  I try and adjust my personal things as well as I can given whatever outcome.

Other than that, it's out of my hands, and I know it. 

Every Presidential cycle we seem to have options worse than they last.  I have not voted FOR a candidate with any enthusiasm since Bill Bradley was running.

Kinda funny ...

Whatever the polls say now (and right now they show Hillary ahead), the long-term patterns of American politics tell us that Trump is not going to get millions more votes than Romney did, and he’s not going to carry enough swing states to overcome the historic pattern of Democratic advantage. Hillary will win in November, and she will be sworn in as our next president on January 20.

Cuomo is so far out of my worldview that I don't even have a clue what you're talking about. I didn't even know who he was before COVID.

Regarding Pelosi, I was going to comment on that when it happened but when I read it on this site I saw that the conversation was already about 7 pages beyond it and it barely came up again.

Pelosi's non-mask wearing is egregious. Then, the way she's doubling down on it is shameful.

• First, as I understand it, she was engaging in a behavior (indoor haircut) that wasn't allowed in the place where she was doing it.
• Then, she blamed the salon for not forcing her to wear a mask. That's BS. Unless someone held her down and pulled her mask off her as she walked in, she had the ability to wear a mask. When I went to the clubfitter to drop off my clubs, and when I went to go pick them up, BOTH times the guy helping me wasn't wearing a mask--but I was. I wasn't looking for an excuse not to wear it. And I'm a private citizen, not the Speaker of the House who should set a good example.
• Then when caught she called it a "setup". If she'd worn a mask, that "setup" wouldn't have had a "payoff".

It's complete and utter crap. For her to blame them for her not wearing a mask is putting blame on them for HER lack of responsibility. And when she attacks POTUS on basically everything related to COVID while she is privately spurning the regulations where she lives? Hypocrite.

So I don't know anything about the Cuomo situation, but I'm absolutely saying Pelosi is a holier-than-thou, rules-apply-to-thee-but-not-to-me hypocrite.

Note: that doesn't excuse POTUS for the complete abdication of leadership during this pandemic. But Pelosi absolutely deserves every bit of criticism she's getting for this.

The man we need on the wall
