When you’re checking out a politician, don’t just consider what they talk about. Think about the things they choose not to talk about at all. The main complicity lies in silence about some things that actually matter most.

Agreed. The same can be said about the news media. Often the truly important developments involve either science and/or economics. However the “news” frequently neglects to cover them because they don’t understand the topic & because the stories lack drama necessary for ratings.

Ok so please talk about Assange Snowden and whistleblowers.

Not everyone knows how to address certain subjects, especially 'trained' politicians, which is why we need ALL voices to be heard! Your speaking about #reparations opened up the subject for so many!!!!!

or you could understand politicians are all professional bullshitters and just check their record
