    I can't discredit him because he has always been consistent with both sides of the party. From Bush first to Clinton, Bush second, Obama, now Trump. Always consistent with his discernments.

      High praise indeed these days. We went down in the pooper with Trump so fast. It appears the POTUS is an effective role model of the highest kind, not just Trump. Any POTUS cound exploit the public's need to respect his pronouncements. We should remember this.

      @reganjo1955 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      He’s not on automatic pilot! Wise words. If you have to choose between two evils then one must think strategically and tactically. As a resident of MA (I assume) his vote was not a force either evil. As a resident of a swing state, not so easy. But even Stein voters in PA could be serving a greater good. Consider me: I supported Clinton in the Primaries and voted for her in the general. If she had won, I might never gotten consider the weakness of the neoliberal paladins like Bill, Barack and Biden! Maybe those Stein voters woke me up to solidarity not identity.

      @@ChicagoTurtle1 The man oozes political correctness and throws peebles from an Ivory Tower. As a professor he can probably claim to have read thousands of books but lacks any kind of understanding of what real fascism is. No fascist has ever been elected to power not Mussolini, not Franco, not Pinochet, and not Hitler.
      There supporters include either the military and police or they have a paramilitary gangsters dressed in uniforms under control of "il Duce" or "Der Fuhrer" that will physical assault anyone deemed as an political opponent. Do you see any paramilitaires at Trump rallies?

    As a grad student at Harvard for 8 semesters on campus, a chance meeting and speaking to Dr. West as we both walked across the quad one day, was truly a highlight. We’d met in the Toronto airport several months earlier, and he not only remembered me, but my profession outside of studying. I am very grateful for that experience. I could’ve walked all the way from Cambridge back to Toronto in conversation with him.
