I rail about Trump and his magats because they are evil scum.
I am disappointed with the Democrats, to steal a phrase from Mark Ellis, who "surrender in advance." I am sorry, but it makes no sense to me that anyone thinks that by agreeing to allow someone who is rotten to the core of his being, do some evil, will stop him from doing greater evil down the road. The more shit he gets away with, the more shit he will do. The only way evil stops is when enough people stand strong and say no more. We need Democrats to lead and inspire more people to do exactly that.

That's why the working class of this country recognize Bernie's brand of progressivism as the way out of this mess.

Dems need to adopt many of Bernie's talking points instead of marginalizing him.

Bernie went on a book tour to sell his book "Our Revolution" in the fall of 2016 before the election.

LOL, yeah really! I don't think this is a route that Sanders/his fans want to go down.

I really like sheldon whitehouse, he is a former prosecutor who has really had to tame his ideas to fit in the senate

All this anger over Schumer's book made a lot more sense once I found out the title: Antisemitism in America: A Warning

I could not believe the tone deaf-ity of going on a book tour while the country burns....
