      because he smiles like he’s part of your family and makes you feel good while standing firm in his beliefs against untold amounts of racism from all sides of the political stage?

      I’m fond of Robert La Follette (one of the loudest voices against US entry into WWI), Russ Feingold (only senator to vote against the Patriot Act), and Bernie (who doesn’t need an introduction). In all of history, there are some politicians that stand above the rest.

        Yea. The politician whom they most support, otherwise said to be their “most preferred”.

        You know what is another way to say that something is an individual’s “most preferred”? It would be to say it is the individual’s “favorite”.

        Thus, people, in fact, do have favorites.

        Suppose I polled the American people’s agreement with the statement “In all of human history there is one politician who is my favorite above all others, and that politician is President Donald Trump.”

        We know that I would get tens of millions of people who genuinely and strongly agree with that. It would be depressingly close to, if not over, a hundred million.

        Or maybe over 100M before the Epstein revolt and below after, lol.

        Brother I’ll be honest with you, I will read 18 pages of whatever bullshit you want to write to me, but I won’t even watch 10 seconds of video.

          Joke is that it’s an over the top song praising united nations politician Jen Egeland by the same artists that made “what does the fox say.”
