Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

It's becoming a disturbing pattern.
Far right leaders managing to brand themselves as populists that are fighting for the common man.
It's utter rubbish. What's worse is that the media invariably go easy on these candidates.
They don't call it what it is, a candidate of the rich masquerading as a candidate for the people.

Trump, Farage, Bolsonaro, they're all the same type of chancer.

Trump was a billionaire.
Farage was a commodities trader.
Bolsonaro doesn't appear to be as monied as the other two chancers.
This snippet from wikipedia shows that he shares the same values.
"While working in Congress, Jair Bolsonaro hired his wife, Michelle, as a secretary and over the next two years she received unusual promotions and her salary more than tripled. He was forced to fire her after the Supreme Federal Court ruled that nepotism is illegal in the public administration."

Isn't the only other person that could've won the election a leftist that was disallowed from running because he's currently in prison for money laundering?
