What are we afraid of? Updated

Submitted by EdMass on Wed, 08/10/2016 - 12:41pm

Crossposted to ToP.

I am not advocating a third party.

I am advocating free and open debate.

Jill Stein and Gary Johnson.

Somehow, if you have not noticed, the League of Women Voters is long gone. Now the MSM gets to decide who gets to talk. How do they decide? The same fg rigged polls where it al depends on how one asks the question.

What are we afraid of if our cause and candidate are so righteous?

Let's see the response, shall we?

UPDATE

Had to post this cause the "community" is flipping out and won't step up to the issue. Reality-based indeed.

Again, the question posed is not whether they are worthy or can win. The question is why are they being denied the opportunity to participate and who decided that?

Take a deep breath.

Go to your town meeting and seek to participate and are denied because, because. Fair?

I predict crickets on the other side. They won't touch it with a ten-foot barge pole...

where such things would be ignored over there. I always thought that was pretty smart--there's a line you walk where it might be better to completely ignore and let it slip down the "recent" list with little or no attention. But clearly, the "smart" left the building left around the time a lot of their viewers did too...

Course, I once joked to an author that he had essentially written my life up to a point, and he told me I owed him a quarter for every birthday...

With Dame Bastet, you're guaranteed cats -- because Dame Bastet is a cat!

And, apparently, a nice figure, if seen from Picasso's perspective.

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

It is explicitly against the rules there. The conversation is strictly controlled. A post like this is just throwing chum into the water, with predictable results.

Entertaining for some I suppose, if you enjoy watching a feeding frenzy. Not my thing. I don't click there anymore.
