Did anyone else notice how most of the 2020 Dem primary candidates specifically represented identity groups likely to support progressives like Bernie? And notice that none of those candidates endorsed Bernie when they quit on cue? Dem leadership strikes again by shooting Americans in the neck. While the GOP is FAR worse, don't let the Dems get away with manslaughter while the GOP is busy murdering democracy. The corruption that has always been part of the American political landscape is not limited to the GOP.

Nevertheless, thank you Earl Dunkel and CEO Charles E. Wilson of GE for the raging, indoctrinated puppet that was Ronald Reagan. Nearly every major crisis we are experiencing had its more recent roots in that administration's agencies, from the FCC, the FTC, the SEC, the FEC, the FAA, etc., etc.

They put govt. teeth into the Powell Memo, its third front toward fascism.

Yes, the GOP must be defeated next year. But we need a Democratic Party majority that does not in any significant way mimic, somewhat more softly, the basic techniques of the GOP.

The presidential election can be thought of as a separate calculation and I think should. At state and local level, the working families party has been making progress in ny - active and doing good work for primaries to offer better choices, but leery of challenging dems in the last general elections and decided not to do that if that could split the vote.
