2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumOf all the candidates, I think Bernie is the best equipped to deal with the Middle East
His approach to problem solving based on issues and truth telling will allow us to finally make some progress towards peace. It will not surprise me if there is a significant agreement forged among the nations currently in conflict.
It's not too late to vote your morality. Please join us.

So almost anything different would be an improvement.

(227 posts)6. I'll vote for truth and morality. The I/P and other ME issues are....
...always rife with allegiances, ulterior motives, ties to promises made and influential groups.
But if someone would just stand up and tell the objective truth, we might actually make some progress there.
Thanks, hootinholler!
