Okay, I'm probably going to get negged to hell for this, but here goes. I'm going to post below all six videos from the brilliantly eloquent and politically involved rapper Killer Mike (née Michael Render)'s interview of Bernie Sanders in the former's Atlanta barbershop. Why? Because I think these six videos give a thorough insight into progressive politics today. I know there will be many on here who will blanket dismiss this content, but I urge anyone to watch them just to simply understand where it is your opposing side may be coming from, so that you can better form your arguments against. Like it's said early on, we're a lot better off when the electorate is just smarter. Of particular note is the last video, in which Mike and Bernie diverge a bit on gun control. Mike's a card-carrying member of the NRA and whatnot. I just want to see our political discussions get smarter, more policy nuts-and-bolts focused, rather than just straight towers of ideology toppling over one another. Cheers. -
First, I think Kay Bailer Hutchison is/was an amazing Senator. She really exemplified the pre-2000s style of politician in being able to debate and come to compromise, not stall and indignantly hold up Congress. And thus, I'm morbidly horrified of the Republican nominee to fill her place in Ted Cruz. All he ever appears to offer is the place of vitriolic tea partier lap dog. This then gets me actually pumped to learn more and more of the Democratic challenger, Paul Sadler. He has a brilliant record in our state of being able to do the sort of work that Hutchison did at the Federal level and is much closer to what the political landscape should be: give me centrism over isolationism any day of the week. And then all of a sudden DMN: http://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/editorials/20121018-editorial-we-recommend-paul-sadler-for-u.s.-senate.ece Coming from them....just woah. So, what does GoMeanGreen think about this race, one that I believe has a lot more at stake for Texans than the Presidential one does?
