They are an ally of Syria and they still have some old Soviet allies like Venezuela. It doesn’t bother me except for Assad who is a human rights violator but I’m not interested in regime change especially since it is really a proxy war with all sorts of different proxies. It doesn’t bother me because sometimes they took the right side like…[Read more]

(snip)
The Public Option Will Not Transition Us to Medicare for All
First, it’s important to get one thing straight: the public option is not an incremental step toward Medicare for All.

Despite its distinctly generous terms, Warren’s Medicare for All option will be unaffordable to many who fail its means test. If a family of four makes more…[Read more]

One thing that I’m so angry about is the other place had a 100+ thread saying AOC is a problem for the party because she wouldn’t join with Cuomo in embracing Amazon even though her argument was economically sound.

Another reason why I support allowing everyone to vote. I was flamed from all sides regarding this issue but thankfully me & Bernie Sanders share the same position.

I agree with everything but your last paragraph especially. I always wondered why countries can’t talk things out like grown adults.

Jonathan,

That photo is of me. I am a community activist. I was invited to attend this event by my friends from BLM. I was there to stand in solidarity with them and the folks from Food not Bombs. It just so happens that some of us support Bernie. It just so happens that I do.

In his statement, Rep. Heck delivers a moderate’s swan song, hitting Trump for his “demonstrably very distant relationship with the truth” and lamenting the lack of “civility” in the discourse, the lack of compromise in Congress, the fact that “all or nothing is in,” and the general lack of nouns. “Success seems to be measured by how many Twitter…[Read more]

Here’s what happened: Pete set up a press conference to show how much black people in South Bend love him. The conference was announced. BLM organized protest. Anarchists, Bernie folks, unaffiliated folks came out in a show of solidarity with BLM. This was not some Bernie psy-op. pic.twitter.com/wpk1MLbm2B
