News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]

They want their ungodly Marxist values forced upon a Christian Country values destroying a culture.

Their Marxist values and beliefs are not in the best interest of Poland's culture or future.

It's not for you to decide. Guess what- that is how democracy works. You may vote for who you believe is best and they can do the same. They don't want more as you put it but just the same you want- to choose someone who in their view will do the best job. Your right is not more important than theirs.

You have to do it in PM. Isn`t it obvious?

He can't. My PM box is blocked and people can message me only if I write to them first

They interrogated Duda from top to bottom with loaded questions and Duda responded superior to every one of them.

Do you mean interview or the debate?
And you don't have to download it you can just copy the link.

spoiled brats (Baby Boomers & Millennials) wanting a government to march to their 'personal' Marxist beat calling it, 'The New Norm'.

You mean voters wanting leaders that actually represent their values and beliefs? Naughty naughty people. How dare they!

now they want more.

What more do they want?

There no bonds in international relation between countries only interests.

I think you are wrong but let's say ok. Another issue is simple safety. Translator is yet another person and not protected at that, that is privy to the most secret meetings. He/she may be used by political opponents (like it was tried with Tusk's translator), briebed or kidnapped.

Me - I - Me !

And you take that from what?

may or may not keep the government in check.

Definitely more than Duda who is nicknamed Długopis (Pen) for signing everything the ruling party (his party) tells him to sign.

A guy that needs a shave doesn't show much class in my book

Well your book is not everybody's book. He looks good with facial hair and it's not an army.

I wonder why people care about that stuff?

Because knowing foreign languages was always a sign of well educated, intelligent person. Especially knowing the lingua franca of the time.
And while it's of course possible to hire a translator speaking the same language helps to create a bond and makes for easier, more natural relationship

Remember that video of a guy claiming to be American who asked him questions in English?

It was hilarious. And then the guy acted all shocked that people mocked him.

As for me I just hope for no more pictures like the one with Trump

And that is YOUR opinion

No, he simply doesn't have power to do anything about it and he never made it an agenda.
Poland only now is getting close to meeting the criteria for Euro and there was no significant changes in personal safety as far as I'm aware.

But if you have any relevant info I'm happy to learn how he contributed to those fights.

Still waiting.

Good. Some people sleep and have life.

Why I believe Trzaskowski is better candidate? Because he will represent us with much more class world wide and he will keep the government at least a little bitin check.

Those are the only two things that the president can do in Poland.

Poland is still using the zloty aren't they after being threatened.

He had nothing to do with that.

Poland is still the safest country in the E.U. aren't they ?

It's quite safe, not sure about the safest all. Any info on that?. And nothing Duda did had any impact on it.

Poland refused immigrants after being threatened.
Poland doesn't want to cater to Homosexuals

True that. So it boils down to refugees and gay people...

Life / Do Poles have a problem understanding American English? [76]

To me nothing beats nice British English. It's so clear...But then you go to UK, walk the streets and find out that not many people on the streets speak like that....

But I guess it would work in similar way with American English.

Before we have 2nd round let's have a look at all the elections in III Rzeczpospolita Polska.
In bold you have the winners and one biggest loser (or a very determined person-depends how you look at it) who tried 5 times from 3 different parties and never even got close to 2nd round. In italic you have those who lost in second round (besides 2000 when Kwaśniewski won in the 1st round)

Kwasniewski

Hey, at least till Sunday he is the only president that got reelected and at least for the next 5 years the only one that managed to win in 1st round. In recent polls his wife was still judged as the best First Lady.

Few days left. We will see. President can't do much but it's still exciting.

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]

So its ok to ask for things back in Poland if you were a Jewish , but not if You were a Polish.

I never heard of Jews wanting to change the European borders

does anyone think that duda will not win?

The polls are close enough that it may haopen. And he had few problems recently. The debate, the pedophile ... When you have headlines like that few days before elections it's no good.. It won't be enough to convince people not to vote for him but he is in a position where he has to draw new people in

Yeah but we managed to keep it semi normal for over 50 pages!

I'm waiting for some [half]decent analysis based not purely on a reality distortion

That is not my kind od thing. Maybe Delph will try when he shows up.
It won't be easy by any means but it's not like that is going to stop me voting against Duda. If Trzaskowski does win it will be by a very small margin.

Most commentators say it won't be a battle for voters but more about mobilising their electorate

These are really interesting elections. It's amazing to see how many people want to vote. Finally increase in interest in election. Apparently Polonia in UK rushed to their computers today with 35 000 people registering to vote in the second round. That is more than all the voters in USA...

, I prefer the Brit first past the post,

Well, every system has it's good and bad sides. I just like underdogs and they would mostly be gone in first past the post Look even in this thread I vored Witkowski, Ziemowit Holownia and Spike Bosak. If there was only one round neither one of us would probably dare to do that.
