An economic elite that acts as if its gain and power is the duty of us all must be called to account before it starts killing people through hunger, war, and executions.Amy Klobuchar beat a weak challenger who had little GOP support, little financial support and relatively no name recognition. So yes, she won by a landslide as she should have and I'm sure her campaign was supported and partly financed by the Evil Koch brothers that you used to hate so much and accuse me of supporting so much. Well, guess what, the Koch's are supporting your candidates these days along with the bulk of the elites that you folks are always expressing concerns about them having to much power and pointing your finger at us and blaming us for voting for them and their interests.
Senator Klobuchar won re-election by a landslide margin in a state that has been drifting R. She must be doing something right. She has a fine legal mind, which will keep her out of trouble (see also Barack Obama). Our current President holds the rule of law in contempt, and that is much of the trouble with this Presidency. Winning elections as she did suggests her ability to connect to people not core supporters of her Party. Republicans did what they could to stop any Obama agenda after two years, using gridlock for six years, until they got power that they used as if they held a single-Party dictatorship in which anyone not in line with them was irrelevant. We who voted for Obama and against Trump are still here. We have greater numbers because of young adults new to voting who find Trump an anathema who offers us nothing.
I do not want socialism. I want capitalism with a human face. I want full democracy and not government by lobbyists.
PB, you're a partisan hack as you say. Well, at least you're honest and able to openly admit that to us. Well, you've pretty got socialism and that's about all you have to choose from from now on. I don't blame you for voting the way you do now. I mean what other choice do you have at this point in your life and the position you seem to be in financially as well as mentally.
