I love his struggles more, he has a personal struggle when it comes filling Cap's shoes and an external struggle when it comes to taking the colors of a nation who was anything but kind to people who look like him, fantastic character work + a brilliant performance too.

Christopher Garrett

I completely understand his struggles as a black man in America

Bluedragonfive

Much as I loved seeing bucky adjust to civilian life as man outta time w/ a chip on his shoulder, Sam Wilson's story is very compelling. Particularly w/ the Isiah Bradley element of the story and having classic marvel troubles to overcome.

Joshua Russo

Sam's plight feels more visceral. I'm not a black man but I'm friends with one, one day we were walking down the street and arguing about something stupid regarding a TV show, and cops pull out and they were a lot more hostile towards him than me even thought we both were making noise.

Acer

I love Sam. I love that he always tries to deescalate a tense situation, I love that he is full of empathy, even for people others write off as terrorists, I love that he is not a glory hog, he sees the shield as a colossal responsibility and not a way to get acclamation and fame.

Acer

I love that he is not bitter, he is not filled with resentment over how he has been treated. I love that he is an optimist, always striving to do better and pushing other people to do the same.

Acer

I love that he doesn't give up on people, he attempts to save Isaiah from his bitterness (which is justified but it is poisonous to his soul). He also attempts to save Karli from her anger and resentment, sadly he fails with her but he never gave up. I love Sam, he is the best MCU character.

SpedeVesku

Nothing against Bucky, but Sam's struggles were more real and relatable.

James Gibbs-Gerckens

He was given the shield

Bucky didn't have a character in the movies, but I won't watch this show because Disney is evil, racist, communist, etc.

Ren Davis

I feel like you have to say Sam since he had more of an arc whereas Bucky kind of got shafted again. They’ve gotten closer with Bucky, but they aren’t quite there yet on having a take on him.

I think that the show does a great job with both of them but I like Bucky more. He feels very protective of Steve's legacy and needs Steve to be right about Sam because he want's Steve to be right about everything, including him and his own redemption .

Gregor Tolyns

The race relations exploration with Sam and Isaiah is fantastic, but I like Bucky's escape from the past more. He starts the show unable to fully confront his past, his attempts being misguided and half-hearted but in the end he is able to break free, to rip off the band-aid & leave the past behind.

Ellie Guzules

I watched it for Baron Helmut Zemo, but Bucky was second.

Brian Klein

I love the Winter Soldier. No other reason than that!

illuminatedi

sam made all the wrong choices,

Amelia Carcamo

Because if he wasn’t right about Sam then he wasn’t right about him

kenzie hardesty

They both had amazing roles and did amazing in their roles but I feel like bucky was protective in a good way and loved alot less then everyone else in the film.

IamTheGuamGuy

Bucky is just overall more compelling as he’s like Steve in that he’s a man out of time but with even more baggage. Plus I feel the more we learn about Bucky we indirectly learn more about Steve as they were basically brothers to each other.

Waira

Bucky’s character development is a long time in the making. It was great to get a deeper look into his mind and see him overcome his internal battles. I’m excited to see what’s next for the evolution of his character.

Democrats would rather support illegals then American citizens

Wendy glassburn

The democrats want to add to the budget. It’s a CR, you don’t add to it. You open the government and then negotiate the budget.

Steve Baumann

This is the actual correct answer.

Steve Baumann

I'd like to see how many of the democratic votes came from bots

Steve Baumann

Democrats are insisting on concessions related to health care policy (specifically extending Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies) to reopen the government. Republicans argue for a "clean" funding bill without these policy changes.

Max

It's beautiful. Trump is getting rid of the fake workers Biden hired, and AOC will Primary Schumer. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

Max

As every 8th grade Civics student knows, it takes 60 votes to end the Schumer Shutdown. Since we only have 53 Republicans, we must have a handful of Senate Democrats

Max

"No one is so blind as one who will not see" means that a person who is unwilling to accept the truth is more difficult to convince than someone who is physically blind.

Max

Trump is ending wars, getting hostages released, after nearly 2 years, while Schumer is holding the US taxpayers hostage, for free medical care for illegal aliens, while our own citizens have to pay for medical care.

Toasty

Wish I could vote for both. This shutdown is a game both sides are playing. I want to roll up a newspaper and smack 'em both.

Republicans could easily say yes to extending subsidies for Americans and no to the other provisions. If Dems say “no” then it’s on them. Not much compromising is going on.

Steve Baumann

Hand up not hand out.

Kathryn Stayton

They are in charge. Can’t reopen when the House is on a 6 week vacation out of the last 2 months. They won’t come to work. Only a fool could not understand this

Novel Pairings

They control the Presidency, Senate and House, and are holding up a budget that would increase healthcare premiums three-fold for millions of Americans to give the rich tax write-offs. This is all Republican.

Scott Kramer

I don't believe that the ACA causes a significant amount of money to go to healthcare for illegal immigrants

I now own my second hybrid.

k san

If they ever made one that could go longer distances. I have seen only 1 recharging station for such cars at Fred Meyer. To make them attractive, need many more recharging stations. Until then, no thx

Rachel

I love my hybrid <3

Stuart Alpert

Why not?

Joseph Nelson

My next vehicle will be an EV.

Torina Wilson

How about YES!, but it’s too expensive. Therefore, I’ll wait

Kerie Raymond

We have an EV for local & shorter range trips (have gone to Vancourver, WA & Eugene, OR) and a Hybrid for longer range trips. Electricity is $10/month, and nothing once we have PV. No maintenance cost

No, too expensive

Electric vehicles need to be cheaper for me to invest in one. I'm just trying to get from point A to point B on a budget!

Because I want to make that choice being I'm a free individual in the United States of America. Free to make my own choices and not be told by a dictator governor of the State of Oregon. FDKB.

Fred Colbern

Government is already controlling you when you drive. Ever stop at a stoplight? That's some university indoctrinated bureaucrat deciding how long you will be made to sit there and wait for his little technocracy to "turn the light green" so you can go.

George Pearson

No one forced me! I love getting 50 mpg while gas guzzlers are paying my share!

GT Thomas

I do not want a vehicle liberals try to force on me.

Bob A. Bui

Screwing your kids/grandchildren to own the libs? Nice.

George Pearson

No one is forcing you! Watch something else beside Fox for a change, to get a full picture!

poor turtle

I mean I would but they are too expensive. Honestly I would rather to not drive at all and take the bus everywhere but that isn't currently realistic.

Karen Barker Rouse

Can’t imagine it would make long road trips easy.

Kerie Raymond

Not easy, but doable! Worth it in the long run.

Douglas E. Wilson

We are being priced out of everything by so called do gooders!

Robert Northrup

If it would meet my needs yes. Unfortunately there are none currently that can.

Larry Ewart

I recently traveled over 1800 miles by car I cannot imagine how much longer that trip would have taken because of the limited miles that it takes for an EV

Ed Drahos

The answer itself is explanatory enough. It's too expensive. Yet the charging situation isn't set up to be a reasonable solution. This is because the industry is totally out for reoccurring profits to charge for such electric vehicles. You can blame commercialism for this greed.

Latterdaysaint

Waste of money

J H

Because the majority are NOT truly environmentally friendly! Would consider a hybrid.

Christena

I've always wanted a hybrid but having my vehicles paid off it's just not worth it.

dan bob

Although it’s environmentally friendly, it is far too expensive. Perhaps in the future when corporations become competitive in this area and sell vehicles at cheaper prices.

Hugh Jjggh

It’s not that it’s too expensive I just like gas powered cars and I love hearing the engine rev unfortunately kids today will never understand not only what that 3rd pedal is for but also a real car

Heidi Owen

Most people I know cannot afford them, but I'll bet kate brown can....

Kerie Raymond

We were fortunate to buy an EV new with substantial discounts and rebates, credits. $16K for a $34K new car. I don't think it's too expensive.

Ben Wiborg

Expensive or not the power cells are the problem when it come to disposal or manufacture.

Sam Ackerman

NO, I will however buy a vehicle that fits my needs.
