    Medicare for All and tuition-free universities have been at the core of the 2020 Democratic presidential campaigns, creating a stark division between progressive candidates and their centrist counterparts.

  • Do Bernie's Supporters Know What "Not Me, Us" Means? Does Bernie? December 8, 2019
    I've gotta give it to Bernie and/or his strategy folks. "Not me, us" is the best political slogan I've heard in long time.
  • Impeachment by Christmas Equals Democratic Party Top-Down Suicide December 8, 2019
    If Nancy Pelosi decides to end the impeachment hearings by Christmas, as has been discussed, she will be engaging in one of the worst acts of political malpractice and stupidity in modern history.
  • Becoming A Next Culture Villager December 8, 2019
    The hopelessness of the common citizen comes from using outdated 'thoughtware' regarding what is possible for them right now.

  • Climate Sense -- Are we being hustled? December 8, 2019

  • Chuck Todd deconstructs the new McCarthyism perfectly in 2 minutes. December 7, 2019
    I am generally tough on the host of NBC's Meet the Press and MSNBC's Meet The Press Daily, Chuck Todd. His piece on the new McCarthyism, however, is very important. Most importantly it was very well done.
  • Trump Gets Away with Stuff Because He Does December 7, 2019
    Trump never admits fault or defeat. He lies his failures into fake successes, re-framing history into a narrative that he prefers. It's all attitude: because I am me, I can do no wrong.
  • The Dismal Dollar Dems and the Subversion of Democracy December 7, 2019
    If the Democratic Party cared about winning above all else, it would mobilize the non-voters by pushing the issues and values backed by the progressive working, lower, and middle-class majority.
  • Will The 2020 Contenders Take On Inequality? December 7, 2019

  • Eat an Impeachment December 6, 2019
    Impeachment is the most under-utilized, but politically potent check on executive power in the Constitution. It’s there for a reason and the authors of our organizational parchment surely envisioned it being used more frequently than once every 60 years. Indeed, impeachment may well be the only defense we have against the rising authoritarian powers of […]
  • Why the Douma Chemical Attack Wasn’t a ‘Managed Massacre’ December 6, 2019

  • Whatever Happened to the Obama Coalition? December 6, 2019
    Kamala Harris is out. This makes me almost sad; she was a snarky debater and, for a “moderate,” she wasn’t all that bad. Perhaps her managers ought to have stressed that point: “Better Than Booker” would have been a fine slogan for her to run on. Now, with Harris gone, it falls to that dreadful Obama […]
  • The Dismal Dollar Dems and the Subversion of Democracy December 6, 2019
    I never cease to be amused by the brazen hypocrisy of the dismal, dollar-drenched Goldman Sachs-Citigroup-JP Morgan Chase-Council on Foreign Relations Democrats.

She gave the nod in a short oration […]
  • Conviction and Removal Aren’t the Issue; It’s Impeachment of Trump That is Essential December 6, 2019
    A lot of pundit verbiage and Democratic Party internal debate as well is being wasted on the question of whether Trump could be convicted successfully in a Senate currently run by a lickspittle Republican majority afraid of their shadows and devoid of any concern for the fate of Constitutional government. Let’s accept that the 20-plus […]
  • Law Seminar in the Hearing Room: Impeachment Day Six December 6, 2019

You know, the North Atlantic Treaty […]
  • Why Do We Punish the Peacemakers? December 6, 2019
    You’re liable to run into trouble if you try to suggest there is a greater threat to planetary survival than climate change. But there is. It’s called nuclear war.
