Vote early -- vote often --

Seriously, life is too short to be waiting around forever for the Presidential savior who doesn't come. Why wait? Organize for yourselves. So here is my serious question: what would the US equivalent of the Zapatistas look like? Where is our Chiapas?

I suppose if the poll were a complete farce we could vote for either Beavis or Buttigieg. I guess at this point that I'm hoping that the Bernie workers make great friendships, ones that don't fall apart if Bernie decides to endorse a neoliberal again.

If Tulsi is the nominee against Trump, I will interpret that as a sign for me to find a cave somewhere and hold out for the apocalypse. Of all the “serious” dems running, she is the one person I can’t tolerate. It would take some heavy nose holding for me to give her my general election vote. Any of the others, I’ll vote for gladly. I suspect I’m not alone. If this suspicion is correct, that is what separates her from Booker, Klobuchar, and Gillibrand . . .

Hmmm...well, if everyone over at the Orange insane asylum did hide in a cave, think of benefits they'd bestow on political discourse in their absence?

Can you imagine anyone of those knuckleheads over there actually voting for Tulsi to *gasp* beat Trump!

There's a dilemma I'd like to see on film.

I'm not really up on men's fashion wear, but is brown velvet suede in now?

I see that the most important issue for the anti Bernie kids is climate change, wealth inequality, endless wars his damn taxes! Good lord. One person said that in the past candidates released their taxes after they became the nominee. I don't know if this is true or not, but still. This is the Hill people are going to die on? Whether Bernie has scudded on his taxes?

Imagine it's 1968. Bernie Sanders says it's time we turned over some of the fighting in Vietnam to Saudi Arabia...or India.

@Shahryar Bernie leads with 33.3333333333333%! LOL when the DNC "rules" are finally released in October, the threshold will be 34%, right? golly gee

I clicked [Show Results] and then read the comments until his fugly ui made my eyes bleed, and then refreshed the results once more. hit me Seems like Tuesdays are cynical comments everywhere days... or is TOP like that all the time? Not too many vocal Bernie supporters visible, fear of kos I guess. Immunize orange plague, silence = clicks. heh

But I went there and found that I can still log in. So I did and voted for Bernie and I think my vote put him at 34%. He is at 34% anyway and I want to think my vote did it.

I didn't listen to the whole video, but from what I heard Tulsi is sad that her old national guard unit is being deployed to Afghanistan without her. After some of their 4th deployment some of them are going to hang it up because it's been hard on their families being without them. How about how hard it is for some Afghan families whose sons and husbands we've killed for no reason? Well besides the opium, oil, gas and other natural resources...

Yuck and done. First off the guard shouldn't be deployed overseas for a made up war and secondly it's past time to bring all the troops out and home!

@snoopydawg Her commentary was definitely heartfelt about the sacrifices that those being deployed make and the sacrifices their families make. When Tulsi was deployed to Afghanistan, she was married to her first husband who had been her childhood sweetheart. When she returned, the marriage was over, so she knows how hard deployments are for those deployed and their families.

Not even a week has passed since Lucy Flores... reignited the controversy surrounding Joe Biden's long history of creepily caressing women during public events. Yesterday, a second accuser came forward with a story about how Biden had rubbed his nose against hers... during a fundraiser in Connecticut.

The allegations have elicited intense blowback for Biden... just as he was reportedly about to launch his campaign.

The Biden team, with its future now in jeopardy, have settled on a culprit: Vermont Senator and presidential rival Bernie Sanders. Several around Biden think advisers to Bernie Sanders are at least partly behind the anti-Biden campaign. One prominent backer thinks Biden will run, and "is ready to kill Bernie."

But the campaign season is still young — and filled with neoliberals.

2020 Democratic Nominee Poll by Markos Makesitso

Welcome to the first of many polls I’ll be putting out on a weekly basis. As a reminder, polling this early in the election season is always to be taken with a grain of salt, as even the most well intentioned poll can only capture a snapshot in time, and rarely factors in election fraud. My request to you is that you share these polls far and wide on social media so that we get an accurate sample of the full electorate. My one caveat, which should be obvious by now, is that I ask you to please ensure you’ve blocked all known progressives and Bernie Sanders supporters before sharing the poll. Check back each week for an analysis on the prior week’s polling results and to participate in a new poll.

LMAO. I love this guy.

The things they say about Tulsi would have gotten them banned if they said it about Herheinous. This is what makes them such hypocrites about the whole sexist and misogynistic crap they pulled last time.

Lmao... I recently read a diary there about how sad it is that Warren and Kamillary aren't higher in the polls. She of course said it's because people refuse to vote for a woman for president. This is such nonsense. Hollary got 3 million more votes than Trump so how does that stand up to scrutiny? People Voted For Hillary. It's no ones fault except hers that she went to play with the rich people instead of the ones she needed to vote for her in the states she lost. This is not rocket science.
