This is very significant

I was incensed by Bloomberg’s candidacy. I didn’t want to see Bloomberg buying the presidency. I also saw his past policies while mayor of NYC as tending towards patriarchal tyranny—the stern parent who knows what’s best for the benighted citizenry.

But I’m all for this. I was hopeful when he said that regardless of how his presidential campaign came out he was going to use his substantial resources to do anything he could do to beat Trump. I’ve got to admit that the man has put his money where his mouth is.

Yay, Michael!!!!!

Thanks for posting

This is proper usage

A good Democrat is what a member of the Democratic Party is called. You don’t call them “good Democratics”.

Throwing stones...glass houses...

I’m not a film editor but it seems that it would be pretty easy to create a video montage of Trump’s rambling incoherencies...that would fire this accusation back at Trump.

Please, will someone knock this hanging softball out of the park????

Changing to Biden

Love, love, love Elizabeth Warren. I’ve read two of her books. Her plans are comprehensive, well designed, and pragmatic.

But it is clear that it is time to coalesce behind the candidate that can take the battle to Trump.

There is now some real Joementum!

Fucking liar

No matter how many times he was told that creating an effective vaccine is year long effort (at least) he folded his arms and closed his mind.

He truly thinks he is king and his commands somehow alter reality.

Sorry to hear about Kitty

Always tough to lose a furry member of the family.

Love your stuff. Wish I could rant like that.

I'm also perplexed by what's going on

I’m with you on this one.

The problem seems the socialist label and that so many seem to desire a conservative, stay-the-course centrist Democrat like Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, or Amy Klobuchar.

I almost feel like I’m watching a replay of WWII and the British and French generals complacently sitting behind the fortifications of the Maginot line. The fortifications the German armies just went around.

Our political pundits and conservative Democrats are fighting the last war.

The electorate wants big systemic change. In fact, I don’t think they will accept anything less. So, the candidates listed above will not cut it and that’s why they’re losing so badly.

Who you want to take Trump on is not your choice, the choice of the Democratic establishment, or James Carville. The voters are speaking.

I’m for Warren. But I’ll vote for anyone with a D by their name. But I think it is critical that we nominate a candidate that will fight this war.

Whether you like it or not we are at war. Trump will not leave office peacefully. We have to win first to start the process of expelling him and his radical coterie.
