Thanks for nothing. A paywall killed the vulture article and the bbc link was to nothing whatsoever.

I guess if you wanted to take a comedians' word for things, that's fine but at the end of the day he's paid to say provocative things and not running the government. We all have opinions.

Too many sweeping generalizations and false equivalencies for me; funny when he stays away from those

Burr's political statements have often garnered widespread attention. He has made various statements in support of gun control,[94][95] and, seemingly, of abortion rights,[96] although he stated in his 2022 stand-up special, Live at Red Rocks, that he has a "weird take" on the latter: "Pro-choice always made sense to me because I don't like people telling me what to do. And I always was just like, 'It's your body. Who the fuck am I to tell you what to do with your body?' [...] However, I still think you're killing a baby. That's where it gets weird."

That's where an MD degree might be more helpful in determining medical necessity VS 'weird'.

Burr voted for Green Party candidate Ralph Nader in the 2000 presidential election. He did not vote for either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election as he had a negative opinion of both.

Thusly contributing to the election of the less qualified candidate in both instances.

Im afraid the 2 party system now hinders that hope....

Between having to tow a parties line
The money needed
Hindrance in the system to get on ballots

The people are no doubt hungry for one who is pragmatic and bold
Then you have a media machine to contend with

One thing for sure, money rules the political system from congress to candidates...
And the world revolves around it.....

Lets put it this way as I've said before, JFK wouldn't stand a chance in the modern world
