@Dragon Is there any chance Scotland or Wales leave Great Britain if Brexit really happens, especially a no-deal Brexit?Their representatives seem to mostly be pro-EU. Also the Gaelic and Welsh songs sung in Parliament after the black rod business, seems to make it look as though the United Kingdom may not be that United.

I quite liked it. At least their politicians are still people to a degree. It’s also a nice show of solidarity with their supporters who mostly voted against Brexit.

The fact that white male candidates are the only ones with huge majorities against Trump is just embarrassing. It also shows that the GOP may not be the only ones with gender/race issues...

 

I’d prefer Sanders over Biden. I prefer Harris, Warren, or Castro over Sanders. At least Sanders matches me politically. Plus, the election hasn’t gotten too ugly yet, so that’s positive. Definitely looking forward to the first single night debate.

Scottish people voted in favour of staying in the EU, which could pose a huge danger to GBR's stability in future. Also, there's a problem with NIR if no-deal Brexit happens, as Irish people do not want hard border between NIR and Republic of Ireland.

 

It's really impossible to predict what's ahead of UK and it seems to me their political leaders have no idea what to do either.

Biden would be a horrible choice IMO. In my eyes, he's nothing more than a recrement of past regimes and many people probably see him as part of the problem, not the solution. One would think that Dems had learnt their lesson after Hilary's fiasco 3 years ago, but they still go for washed up faces over and over again.

 

They needed relatively young and energetic candidate (like Castro or O'Rourke) to defeat Trump, who would inspire younger voters and minorities to cast their votes, who would represent a real opposition on the political continuum. Sanders and Biden had enough chances to run for POTUS, it's time for some younger and fresher faces. It's so obvious that it hurts... to everyone except Democrats' establishment :d
