(11,833 posts)He speaks from the heart and I'll look carefully at what he says. I agree with him that moving to the left economically will greatly benefit black and hispanic people. I hope he addresses the black lives matter movement specifically in terms of police brutality and prison reform. I'm learning more about O'Malley and I'm impressed with what I've seen so far. I'm looking at Hillary carefully in this regard too.
There's nearly a year between now and the primaries. Plenty of time for every candidate to make the case as to why they should be our next President. I don't feel animosity toward any of these three candidates. I think they are all part of the solutions, not part of the problems. I feel President Obama is the best President in my lifetime, and one of the best in American history. I feel he helped avert disaster, and set the wheels in motion toward universal health coverage and increasing taxes on billionaires. Now it's time to build on our gains and move further left. If we want a President to govern further left we've got to give them a further left Congress. That's not rocket science. It's Civics 101.
