I would like that.  He did promise it would be a woman.  I’m not one to throw the baby (a small step of influence towards progressive values) with the bathwater (they’re all sellouts!!!).  IMO Warren’s campaign was another causality in the DNC machinations.  Including from those usurpers installed in her campaign. Who stoked the fires between San…[Read more]

I’m different than some others in that I would support voting Biden. Only because we have now had our “disruption” that Sarandon was saying was the silver lining last time. Trump has done enough damage.  Instead of increasing the left’s influence, the DNC doubled down to snuff them and their candidate and I suspect a plan to move further right.…[Read more]

These guys speak everything I and every progressive must be thinking about now. We simply cannot allow Biden, if he wins, which is up in the air, but in anticipation, to not have actual consequences if he thumbs his nose at progressives, same as it ever was.

Our Revolution, with or without Sanders, has to organize, and be relevant enough, and…[Read more]

He better die, or anyone jostling for power now will be killed when he recovers

Of course its not HIS idea.   It is already predicted that the virus will not fare as well in warmer climates. So he can say “See, your great leader knows all”.  Which is why it is also predicted by experts that there will be a second wave in the Fall. Something he has poo pooed.

Time to go all in. And get Biden to commit publicly. If not M4A, then a public option with an open path towards single payer M4A if Democrats get a second term.  Minimum wage to $15.  And along with Warren, demand criminal investigations against those in the Trump administration.  None of that “looking forwards” crap this time.  I guess I cho…[Read more]

@Ohio Barbarian

I respect your opinion.  And agree with most of it.  Biden will not push the needle forward for progressive goals.

I would counter that Biden is the lesser for these reasons,

Term limits are not that relevant here.  As I really believe that Biden will be Reagan 2.0 (in his last term) My dad had dementia.  I know the signs. In…[Read more]

“I want to believe Bernie is doing this in order to have any voice moving forward in the Senate and I get it.  That doesn’t mean I have to support that POS Joe Biden or any other scumbag the DNC nominates.”

Those two lines contradict each other.  Yes….yes it does mean you have to, if not support philosophically, support with your vote, Bid…[Read more]

He’s dropped out, but not endorsed him yet afaik.  I hope Biden’s camp understands he needs the twice scorned progressives more than they need him. In fact he should ask for M4A.  A clear path to it in the platform. I’m holding my cards until I see what is in it for us, everyone, that Sanders can squeeze out of him. But don’t squeeze too hard or h…[Read more]

You are right, i shouldn’t have included Abrams. But the others I mentioned, including AOC, are still there, and need our support if they even want to chip away at the machine.  At least they’d be inside the machine

I know its painful, we progressives ALWAYS  are the ones that are bullied into dropping out, or shutting up, accepting less etc.. A…[Read more]

It is ludicrous to not vote Democratic this November.  If you can’t see how devastating it would be if Donald fucking Trump was allowed another 4 long years after November, well…its because you can’t.  He already now has carte blanche to bribe foreign leaders to smear Democrats or any official for that matter.   In four years he has al…[Read more]

I too have had for years a Hotmail account I use any time a website demands email verification.  But I don’t want any of their promotion after that or whomever they sold your email to.  Other than important institutions like my bank or Paypal or other places that I am comfortable or need to use my “real” email.

But I just let them self-delete o…[Read more]

Their interpretation of “not for profit” may be more like, this one time we will try and not gouge sick Americans, and only make a tidy profit for our shareholders, CEO’s bonuses, and an open-ended slush fund for re-investments in “research”.   But, yeah, after all THAT, we promise not to take a dime. Also, nothing about selling to other c…[Read more]

They will never do that. No matter how many hashtag the idea.  So last time, Sanders held out until Hillary added a few more progressive goals to her platform. Wall street regs, and minimum wage hikes etc…

Sanders could do the same only even more militant this time.  Behind the scenes he could threaten to NOT endorse Biden at all unless A B a…[Read more]

Why do voters vote for these guys?  And I’m including Trump voters.  Yes I understand there will always be maybe 20% radically right wing probably mixed up also with a form of entitled Christianity, that will always vote for the most extremely conservative candidate. But there does not seem to be any ah ha moment while a leader like Trump or B…[Read more]

ie.  actually force the DNC to anoint Sanders even when Biden has enough delegates.  Because of a hashtag.

But why not go half ways at least, which may be possible. Demand Sanders as VP.  Or that Sanders is put in charge of a major department, the FTC Consumer Protection.  or demand Biden accept M4A in his platform, and appoint Sanders to lea…[Read more]

The ones that really kinda liked Sanders ideas and appreciated his truth telling to power, but held their noses and voted Biden because they have been told over and over by the MSM and the DNC and other promienent third way Democrats that Biden is the more electable against Trump. When the opposite is true.  Sanders may not be the most popular…[Read more]

We know why.   Fox News and RW radio caters to Republicans only.  But they along with the rest of the MSM caters to corporate America first and foremost. And one ally is the establishment in both parties. The MSM will steer their viewers away from showing any Sanders rallys for instance, or even Sanders video addresses now, also keep Biden is…[Read more]

That doesn’t sound like a lot of fun

How do you feel about Donald Trump?

I really like him. I think his problem is that he says what everyone wants to hear, but he doesn’t say it well. I love what he says, I have to admit. He can be president and not owe anybody anything; he’s one of the…[Read more]
