Is Lech Woleskja still alive and Solidarity still a potent political party for Poles ?

We probably have more gay people in government than anyone is willing to admit. In America the FBI had J. Edgar.

You lost me at ‘Gay’, what relevance had this, it’s his personal sexual preference, not a badge!!

While I think diversity in political candidates is important as far as race, gender, sexual orientation, etc., it should never be made more important than policy, character (such as whether they can be bought, or if they are overly-ambitious/opportunistic), and whether their record matches their rhetoric. Otherwise, voters get sidetracked by identity politics over substance in elections and we end with bad leaders who meet diversity standards, but nothing else positive.

It's too bad Pete didn't have any integrity, any policies attached to his name, except for "we just can't do that" and smugness that could cause an international fog.

Now an atheist lefty.. there's a guy who looks like he might actually believe in something and wouldn't be afraid to rock a pair of pink socks.

Good, it’s always useful for people to have exposure to alternatives. But also frustrating as polarities in government are less useful in the long term than a strong, more middling party, that represent a majority and work for the good of the Country as a whole.
So many political systems seem to fickle -y swing from left to right after a few years undoing each other’s work.
When are the right going to accept that having some profit making businesses in their portfolio, as well as money guzzling social services could help supplement taxes? Instead of trying to privatise services that ethically should not be making a profit, like nursing homes.

I thought Pete Buttigieg made an excellent candidate in the Democratic Primary. He had impressive educational background, impressive military service, he was well spoken and steady when fielding criticism, etc. I would have rather he had a bit more experience in office although being mayor isn't a bad start. I wouldn't mind seeing Buttigieg serving in politics in the future. Nothing about a gay person is necessarily disqualifying for political leadership. We do ourselves a disservice by disqualifying them out of hand simply for being gay. Without knowing much about Robert Biedron of Poland (just from this article) I hope he can do something to counter the right wing extremism on the rise in Poland.

I hope he does well.

I'm not a "thoughts and prayers" guy, so I'm just sending good vibes in Biedron's direction. May he prevail!

Don't tell me... you decided to endorse him.

Well, shit. One more country to be more advanced than us.

Good. Take no crap.
