Hi

[lutraphile]

I felt like I needed to join a political discussion forum, rather than force political discussions on my friends and family several times a day.

I am

• Left-of-center. Not a Democrat per se but usually grit teeth and support them. Hoping for a Bernie Sanders run in 2016.
  
• As the username suggests, a lover of otters (Oriental small clawed in particular)
• A huge Bright Eyes/Conor Oberst fan
• Someone who watches tennis obsessively, often to root against Nadal
• A student at a small college in Virginia

I spend my time refreshing political news sites, watching minor tennis tournaments, playing tennis badly, watching Bojack Horseman for the nth time since its release, and writing unpublishable fiction.

 

[S.J.]

Hey, welcome to the forum. Hopefully we can turn you into a conservative.

Greetings, Earthling!
Before we proceed, we need your long form Birth Certificate, in triplicate, 3 blood tests and a sworn affadivit that you are indeed a homo sapiens.

Ok, just joshing you. We need that BC in quadruplicate. CK keeps losing stuff.

 

[Mr. H.]

Yup.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Yup.

My Lord, you are long-winded!

Welcome to a great site for the left-of-center. May you find yourself coming back often.

I see very quickly I am in the minority

Love the idea of a "Clean Debate Zone" but it seems sadly inactive

Hello there, lutraphile...

 

[WelfareQueen]

Welcome. And I am just off-center....depending on the issue and prevailing winds.

 

[Gracie]

Welcome.

I am a fence sitter. It's pointy and sometimes hurts.

You sure it's not the pointy hat? LOL!

Okay, I admit it...I LOVE Bernie!

He's the best man for the job, but won't have enough $$$ behind him. Sad.

Yeah, can't exactly imagine a bunch of wealthy CEOs lining up behind a social democrat. He really needs
a. Warren not to run
b. Clinton to self destruct a bit, and Biden too if he runs
c. To catch fire in a big way with the base

On the other hand, they once thought a little peanut farmer would never make it...

Have you noticed how the media is already telling us that its between Jeb and Hillary?

Yes. Though I don't know how much that means, it sets up for a long general election/dynasty narrative, but also sets up a "shocking upset" narrative and they are hyping Warren up a lot too. Even Sanders has got some attention.

More conspicuous is who they are ignoring: Biden-who has gotten about the coverage of O'Malley or Webb despite being virtually tied for second with Warren, Ryan- who just is not a very exciting candidate, and Carson- who I mostly just feel like the media (Fox aside) is saving for later.

We have to make it to 2016 first....
