I propose this song as campaign song for Biden/Harris

[rateyes]

ticket. (I think it will be Harris, though would like to see Keisha Lance-Bottoms)

Woody Guthrie-This Land is Your Land. Highlighting Verse 5

[Verse 5]
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me

[Chorus]
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me

[redstatebluegirl]

1. I was raised listening to Guthrie. My Mom loved him.

This would be a great campaign song. I also like Neil Diamond "America" .

[rateyes]

2. In the squares of the city (Images of Lafayette Park)

Shadow of steeple (Trump holding Bible after crowd being tear-gassed).

Relief Office (19% unemployment rate and climbing)

[Amishman]

3. King For a Day - Battlebeast

Welcome to the nightmare
Where villains wear the crowns
Fools rule a broken world
And fear grows all around
There's a bad king
A dreadful puppet on a string

He pretends to be a champion
Of the common man
Wants more division
In is lost and riven land
He plays with real lives
In the darkest game of life

His greedy eyes
Looks insane, frozen smile like he's in pain
He doesn't count
The human cost but only money made or lost

King for a day
He kills the truth and looks away
King for a day
Lives like the world would end today
King for a day
What do you hide, Why do you lie?

[rateyes]

5. Very apropos!

[Amishman]

7. I think it was directly written about Trump, it is a recent long

If you like metal, its pretty darn good musically as well

[DonaldsRump]

4. It would be a great campaign song! n/t

[tavernier]

6. No argument here.

[edhopper]

8. Public Enemy

[Demsrule86]

9. I hope not. Val Demmings would be a better fit and help with Florida.

[murielm99]

10. Is she popular there?

All over the state?

[sl8]

11. A couple of interesting articles about the song and its relationship with Native Americans:

“This land is your land, but it once was my land
Before we sold you Manhattan Island
You pushed our nations to the reservations
This land was stole by you from me.

Pete Seeger

12. I love that verse.

[secondwind]

13. I truly see Kamala Harris as Attorney General.

Biden is supposedly settling on a woman, a black woman. This will be the most diverse and integrated Administration in history.
