Do you consider Thom Hartmann a Democratic leader/figure/supporter?

225. This entire thread depresses me to no end

I've been listening to Hartmann for well over a decade. He has been a channel for more broadly informed understanding of our history and our relations with the rest of the world.
I don't consider him to be accurate or informed on every issue but he does expose us to viewpoints that are not acceptable in all of Western media.
I'm just a couple of years younger than he and grew up in the post WWII pro-USA anti-communist fervor. If there is anyone that should reject his moderating view on Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran etc, it should be me. I grew up in the heyday of US exceptionalism and veneration of our military victories.
Just like most of our citizens, I didn't know jack shit about the reality of our history until I had that Sword of Damocles known as French Indochina hanging over my head.
Even as kid I knew that some tiny little country was no threat to a massive military power. As Ali stated ,why do I want to go halfway around the world to kill someone who never did me no harm?
I'm sure some of the responses to this post will be hyperbolic interpretations of what I had to say. Some may point to factual deficiencies some may point to logical shortcomings. I'm just a TOD (Tired Old Drunk) voicing my opinion while it's still allowed.
If you want to think about one majorly important issue, think about this.
Every time we present some other nation as an adversary or enemy, we make them so whether or not that is a rational reality. Beyond that, those nations that we consider adversaries, should we not maintain communications and diplomatic relationships to avoid unneeded conflict?
