She has a good chance of winning the primaries and losing badly in the general. In 2012, she won MA by 8 when Obama won by 23. A lot of people outside of the twittersphere don't like her that much. (Asserting that which would need some Believable demographcs, Verification writ-Large). Unclear to moi, given the [see Alex's sig] general high-mopery of the under-informed--the uninformed are already DJT's. ie the more cerebral+al punte your presentation, the more suspicious are many ... who just Hate anyone who can say sodiumethylmercurithiosalicylate ..without stuttering, y'know? My local 'plebsicite': "Do you have any recollection of 'the Weimar Republic' of the '30s?" (Here in ruralville, you can imagine the %yesses sans any stats. :-/

I am convinced that if the next election is left up to American White people, we'll have the Despicable One for four more years. It's time we faced up to the fact that no Progressive (in the American sense; that is, non-flaming RWNJ) can be elected to the White House who doesn't carry an overwhelming number of votes from non-Whites and huge numbers of votes from the kiddies (of all colors). She might, MIGHT get the kiddies excited about college debt forgiveness and tuition-free community colleges/state universities, but I'm not sure she can get enough people of color inspired to vote. And make no mistake, without them no Democrat wins. Aside: There are several things that astound me these days. First, being Anti-Fascist is akin to being Un-American. Second, there are otherwise serious people claiming "workers love the private health insurance they get from employers". Bullshit of the first degree. No one gives a damn who processes their medical claims as long as they get the healthcare they need. Finally, how is it that free community college and tuition-free state universities is controversial? I had that in 1977 FFS. IF I wanted a parking sticker and a library card so I could check out books, it cost $12.00 per semester. If I wanted neither of those things, all I paid for was books. There were no other fees. CSULB was tuition-free for CA residents as well. But, now we can't do that? bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

If this needs to be explained very carefully to said workers in order for them to see clearly Why it's a Good Deal, we need--on this topic--squadrons of explainers quite as much as any other Pol-type canvassing. I wot. (If P.O.Color toss off the education perks, well then..) Fact: We have NO (believable) stats even: as to %disaffected ones' actually voting. Must we hope for a 110-F for three days prior to election say? All logic portends ill where Language murder has no punishment, critical thinking is impossible for many: as IRAN + Bolton + Menace can exponentially impose their Horror-show ... any minute. I see.. I See: that sign at the entrance to the trestle, The Cassandra Crossing.. JUST the situation wherein DJT/basically real-Friend-less and insecure on every level ... Demonstrates His Power (over all those who ever dissed the rudderless, soulless mo-fo). He pretends to jocularly-dismiss Bolton's raison d'etre; moi believes Not So. It's mere camouflage). Believe too that his Hate is insatiable; that + his Branded-wishy-washy 'decisions' mean: you never Can guess his next move. But you can be certain that he will lie ---> right-on-up to it. Heh.. and we'unses thought Dr. Strangelove ... far-Out rollicking Humor (!) Edited by Ashton Aug. 2, 2019, 06:07:36 AM EDT Expand All History
