I wanted the women to do much better. Guess we need the ERA more than ever now. But I would like to see Warren go to the convention with a handsome pile of delegates. She will only improve the process no matter what happens. Guaranteed she will have a voice in the next admin.

And there goes Steyer just now.

and he restored my faith that there are still many decent people in politics. He didn't appeal to greed, jealousy, or anger--he appealed to patriotism, fairness, and compassion. He proposed no revolution.
James Clyburn deserves a lot of thanks for his help as do all those South Carolinians who stood with Joe.

I tuned into one of the Sunday morning shows. I caught Biden in mid-sentence:

“...work across the aisle to get things done.”

I turned it off.

This is my main problem with Biden and others — they just don’t get it. We’re at war for the soul of our country. Republicans are the enemy, not the “opposition” or “the other side of the aisle”. It isn’t 1975 anymore. They want to destroy us and everything we stand for. And we have to have the same take no prisoners attitude.

I’m disgusted.

Joe’s a nice guy. And he’ll beat Trump. For that I’m grateful. But now we’ll tread water for four years and offer Social Security “reform” without it having been asked for in order to “work across the aisle” while the other side of the aisle grins while they fuck us up the ass.
