If Kevin Spacey were in it it could classify as a comedy.

So it’s a comedy then. Because Biden is hilarious. Barack Obama and his husband was hilarious. Trump was deliberately laughing and being a troll. George Bush jr’s intelligence level was a joke. They are all funny

That was a time when the practice of electioneering interference and denial included tactics like following the other guys' volunteers and swapping out their door tag promos. It nicely addresses the former reality regarding the level of trust that could be assigned to a politician's words. I bet we never thought we'd miss that level of trust.

"Human beings are by nature political animals, because nature, which does nothing in vain, has equipped them with speech, which enables them to communicate moral concepts such as justice, which are formative of the household and city-state...." - Aristotle

[@joekulik999]

To cite a quote more than 2000 years old as any direct explanation of what is happening today is ridiculous because people in Aristotle's time had a completely different image of reality than we do. Consider that Aristotle believed that the Sun and the stars revolved around the Earth and that the Earth was Flat.

This along with Downhill Racer are great Films both starring Redford and Directed by Michael Ritchie.

Let's see, if memory serves we've got Kenneth Tobey, Karen Carlson,Allen Garfield/Gorwitz,Quinn Reddeker,Peter Boyle,Don Porter, Melvin Douglas,cameos by Howard K Smith and Natalie Wood. If I've left anyone out give me a f#cking break as I haven't seen this movie in over 45 years. Jeremy Larner won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. The following year Redford starred in a movie that won the same Oscar for David S Ward. Redford made 2 films with Natalie Wood in the mid 60s. "Inside Daisy Clover" and "This Property is Condemned". Redford was the 2nd male lead in the former and the male lead in the latter,which was also his first collaboration with Sydney Pollack. Trivia question; which actor only made 5 movies in his career and all 5 were nominated for Best Picture and 3 of them won? That's one helluva good movie trivia question.
