This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I agree by AquinasDomer

I think he's likely going to pick up the Bernie/progressive torch going into the 2030s. He has a coherent worldview and seems to engage with people he disagrees with. The democratic party would be healthier if the progressive wing were unified around a real policy agenda and not just a wishlist that puts spending > GDP and reflexive antianericanism in foreign policy. He's a guy who could help make that happen.

A lot of his statements seem to vacillate between truly insightful and mind boggling naive/stupid. Hopefully he gets wiser as he gets older.
