Just kinda thinking now, and maybe babbling, but...
The problem with us people, OK, one of the problems, is that we're tribal.
So people get in this rut of being Labour, Republican or Conservative, because their dad and his dad...
No thought in it.
Same for Democrats or Greens, of course.
Me. I was raised as a nothing but a man u supporter ;-)
No politics, no religion.
So, when I'm talking about politics, I'm normally speaking to policy and ideas. I don't care which political camp they came from, so long as they're practical - or not.
About a particular candidate for something or other, that is different, yes. I've forgotten which country you are in, so I can't give an example of that just at the moment.

@gemlog I'm a Ukrainian living in France.

@menelion I should respond, I am a welsh living in canada.

@gemlog A Welsh? Cymraeg is an extremely beautiful language, I love Welsh music also.

@menelion It really does sound musical and nice I think.
My problem was the English. Of course.
They suppressed cultures wherever they invaded and colonized.
Anyhow. I don't have Welsh. Even though we lived in Wales and my dad spoke it, it was forbidden in the house by my English mother... so. yeah.
I only have a few words and the ability to make that double L sound ;-)

@gemlog I also can make it, but because I'm a language nerd :)

@menelion Interesting thing: the native haida language of Haida Gwaii (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands) has the same sound in it :-)
When I was 15 years old, desk clerk in Prince Rupert, BC, Canada, I would listen to old ladies sizzling away in Haida in the lobby and I kept hearing the double L sound. It was quite pronounced.
