Americans have attacked (with good reason IMO) our supply-management system for dairy for year.


If it's not a supply-management system paid for by farmers, it will be a system of grants paid for by everyone, like in the US and France.

I don't like the current system, but I think the US system is worst.  Only the big players can invest enough energy to claim their maximum share and that totally distorts the market.

There were other candidates to bring forward. They didn't want to run. Like Biden.

In any case how can you not blame the Republicans for him? The Democrats didn't nominate him.
I blame the Democrats for not voting Hillary.

If Clinton was so bad, how did she get more than half the popular vote?

Let's face it, your electoral system is stupid because it gives too much influence to backward yokels and not enough to major cities. And this time, all the Deliverance chucklefucks and neo-nazis decided it was their chance to get a place in the sun.

Because of the competition. :mellow:

No Bernie Sanders is an example of everything wrong with American Politics today on the Progressive side.

The Clintons were about as moderate as they come.

Exactly.  A 3rd party candidate that was kept by the DNC where he belonged:  on the sidelines.  Shame the RNC nominated theirs.

And honestly:  with the exception of the debates--when he was required to--does anyone at all remember Bernie saying a single thing about foreign policy, ever, other than Iraq War = Bad?  Nothing.

I remember him ripping Clinton for being friendly with Kissinger.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

That could actually be an indictment against DNC.  Bernie, being as terrible a candidate as he was, still did alright against Clinton.  The bench was a little shallow there.

That's another bullshit myth perpetuated by the media:  Clinton had the primaries wrapped up in less than 2 months, but Educated Jew Like Karl Marx wouldn't shut the fuck up, and the media kept feeding into it.

So fuck off, cossack.  You and your Muscovite masters got your president.

QuoteTrump on presidency: 'I thought it would be easier'

President Trump reflected Thursday on life inside the White House, remarking that he thought being president would be easier compared to his past business experience.

"I loved my previous life. I had so many things going," Trump said during an interview with Reuters. "This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier."

Trump reflected on his first 100 days in office – the first public position the New York real estate mogul has held – following his upset victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in November.

But the election is still on Trump's mind, with the president reportedly handing out hard copies of figures from the 2016 electoral map to reporters interviewing him Thursday.

"Here, you can take that, that's the final map of the numbers," Trump told Reuters reporters interviewing him in the Oval Office, offering maps of the U.S. showing areas he won in red.

"It's pretty good, right? The red is obviously us," he said.


Trump remarked to Reuters about the "little cocoon" that comes with security surrounding a president, lamenting "I like to drive ... I can't drive anymore."

His insecurity is going to get us all killed.

Sound policies to increase trade, balance the budget, make the current programs work more efficiently, and hold the line against the authoritarian bastards internationally while avoiding deployment of our military power whenever possible. Plus experience. Oh and reliance on science and evidence over bullshit.

Basically an internationalist liberal type. You know, like Clinton.

Berk wants to blame the loser for losing, not the morons that elected the moron.

I think its clear he has a different sort of candidate in mind that he wants the DNC to promote.
