Bill de Blasio.

I watched him (on CSPAN) give a speech to a group of Iowa progressive Democrats. I was impressed with both his passion and clearheaded defense of liberal public policy.

What do those of you that live in NYC or New York State think of him?

2018 candidates that converted from republican to Democrat to run for office.

I have become suspicious of that type unless they converted several years ago like a handful of our current Reps. If 2018 looks like it is setting up to be a bloodbath for republicans, we are going to get lots of former republicans running under our banner.

I am ok with the ones that have been behaving like Democrats in terms of policy, not ok with ones that talked the republican line up until a year or so before they converted. Thoughts?

A nature question.

All DU members are sensitive to protecting the environment.

I had something happen and I am wondering whether I made the right decision. I was helping clean up storm residue (yes, we still are picking up in some places). Me and my brother, who I was helping came upon a small rattlesnake that was under some of the fallen branches. I wanted to let the rattler live and after a short debate, I got my way. We moved the snake to nearby woods and let it crawl away. Did I make a mistake?
