This is a "Hello, Beautiful World" (HBW) Post

[MineralMan]

That beautiful world is brought to you by the upcoming Democratic National Convention and the beginning of General Election campaign season. It's something I've looked forward to for almost four years. Soon, we'll begin to find ways to make sure that we have a Democratic President, a Senate controlled by a majority of Democrats and make serious inroads into regaining a majority in the House.

It's a presidential campaign year. For everyone who lives and breathes politics, it's what we look forward to, because we have another opportunity to help create progressive change.

For those who aren't eagerly anticipating this campaign, I'm very sorry that things aren't to your liking. If you post a GBCW post, you'll miss all the fun, excitement and anticipation of victory. The Democratic primaries are almost over and it seems absolutely certain that Hillary Clinton will be the party's nominee. She's not perfect, but she'll be our candidate, fighting a winning battle against someone like Donald Trump or Ted Cruz. What a glorious day it will be when we watch her victory speech in November, and then her inauguration in January of 2016.

Please join me now in saying, "Hello, Beautiful World!" It's going to be exciting!

1. Wlliam K Black should be Hillary's choice for AG if she's serious about making sure the banks

will stop violating the law.

Now that would make for a beautiful day....

2. That will be up to the new President.

I'm not even thinking about Cabinet positions. That is still to come. Right now, we have to get a Democratic President elected. Time's short, so the sooner we start, the better.

7. I'm sure you're not. Great non answer as usual.....

[MineralMan]

8. I don't have all the answers. I have never pretended to.

I'm a Democrat. I support electing Democrats because I know for an absolute certainty that we do better when Democrats are in power. I'm actually a Socialist, but realize that we will not have a Socialistic government in my lifetime. We might have a Republican one, though. I think that's a terrible idea.

Let's win in 2016! What do you say?

10. Hillary is the most corrupt politician I may ever have to consider voting for. I don't take that

lightly.

This was no coincidence:

3. Hello, Beautiful World! I was doing voter reg at City College with other Dem Service Club members

That was today, and my shift was 11:00 - 12:30. The guy I carpooled in with was incredibly organized, right down to the rocks he used to anchor all the paperwork from the sea-breezes.

GOTV California!

4. Thank you so much. Voter registration is

a hugely important tool. Newly registered voters almost always go to the polls and vote. I carry voter registration materials in my car at all times, and am glad to help people register anytime.

5. You are the king of passive-aggressive Minnesota Nice.

Really, its a talent.

[MineralMan]

6. No, I'm not. I'm a Democrat who believes that Democrats in office

are always preferable to Republicans. You don't know how far left I actually am. But, I live in a real world, where real world politics are the rule of the day. I work toward progress. I know we're not going to achieve every goal at once.

Hello, Beautiful World! One step at a time. Won't you join in making something happen?

[aikoaiko]

9. This is the problem with you - you think that because I am a Bernie supporter i'm not ALREADY...

...making something happen.

This post too is exemplary passive-aggressive Minnesota Nice.

[MineralMan]

11. Sorry. I just post what I feel.

Your characterization of me is your decision. I will continue to post what I post. It's all as sincere as it can be.

I'm sorry you don't believe me. If you knew me in real life, you would.

[aikoaiko]

15. I believe your passive-aggressiveness is completely sincere.

[MineralMan]

19. Thank you...

12. This is the problem with you - you think you can make MinMan snap.

[MineralMan]

13. Can't be done. MineralMan don't snap.

I've been around for a very, very long time, and I don't snap. I just say what I think.

[aikoaiko]

16. Snap? No. Make him do it more? Yes.

[Hekate]

17. Whatever floats your boat. Or, as it says in my sig line...

Watch the birdie.

[aikoaiko]

20. That you have to watch the birdie so far after Super Tuesday brings me joy.
