This meme has been traveling through my Facebook feed:
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.
Thanks to everyone who commented in ‘3 Birds, 1 Stone Strategy.' A pleasure to see people thinking real thoughts, and saying them well. [https://caucus99percent.com/content/use-%E2%80%9C3-birds-1-stone-strateg...
Questions for the audience:
Do all politicians of a political party agree to support the official party platform?
Are citizens who vote for political party politicians also supporting the party platform? If not supporting, are they validating it?
There's a storm brewing, can you feel it? Gale force winds, fifty foot waves, death, destruction, the 2018 Election.
Would you vote for the republican party?
Will you vote for the democratic party?
Two high risk strategies

I've said all I am going to say about that one
Judas goat: a trained goat used in general animal herding. In stockyards, a Judas goat will lead sheep to slaughter, while its own life is spared.
Bernie Sanders, Nina Turner, the Justice Democrats and the People's Summit democratic party cadre, the so called "progressive insurgency" of the democratic party, have made it clear that U.S. imperialism and the accompanying wars, regime changes, country balkanizations, and millions of deaths and brutal evictions are not high on their list of "issues".
Progress takes time, baby steps. If you want something, you have to start at the bottom and work your way up. That's the way Bernie Sanders sees it with health care for Americans. Instead of demanding a single payer health care system NOW, like that described in HR 676, a legitimate single payer plan that now has 72 cosponsors in Congress, Bernie thinks it's "prudent" to improve Obamacare first by adding a public option to it, to "work toward" Medicare for all.
