I generally don't ask people online for things, but I'm making an exception this time around. I'm asking you to send a message to the wealthy elites who are screwing you over.
The question is how best to send this message?

If you are part of the MAGA crowd, or the vote-blue-no-matter-who/McResistance, then this essay isn't for you. You need to stop watching Fox, CNN, and MSDNC.

If it were, Warren's faltering voters would all go to Sanders, not Klobuchar, and Biden's certainly wouldn't go to Sanders. It's class versus identity, and the good angel over my shoulder hopes class wins out. Policy wise Biden is a long way from Sanders, not a 180 degree difference but close to it, but Biden grew up working class and it shows, gaffs and all. People feel that in a gut reaction kind of way.

This new poll is bad news for Biden and the Democratic establishment, and good news for Bernie and all insurgent candidates.

I'm sure if any of you have participated in campaigns other than comments on the net you've met paid Field Organisers before. Obama had a gazillion of them here in 08, Bennett had quite a few in 10, and Obama to a lesser extent in 12 as our state was a more sure bet. They are always in the offices, organize group canvasses, generate lists for people and maps, do trainings, etc.

As we all know, polls take sampling averages from historic trends.
For instance, old white people vote. Young brown people generally don't vote. That's just the way it is.
But what if that trend suddenly changes?

I pointed out how the DSA had another good election on Tuesday, but it's also worth noting how Bernicrats had a better day than mainstream Dems.
Let's start with Virginia.

It's not a surprise when a democratic socialist wins an election in San Francisco, but what about Bozeman, Montana?

Hope and Change

Part I: Hope

...but that was in another country; And besides, the wench is dead.

Today I’m going to take a stab at a topic I’ve been avoiding. It’s a topic that provides (I hope) the context within which my political choices make sense.

Let’s talk about climate change.

Primary Concerns

Democratic politicians and other grifters have looked into the future (by means of a technology yet unrevealed) and discovered that Trump isn't protecting our democracy.

First and foremost this election was a victory for Trump.
