I'd love to see Sanders or Bloomberg as President...if only to curdle the blood of every antisemite in every rat hole .

I can think of better ways to attack antisemites without unleashing Bloomberg or Sanders on the entire human population.

Could you please give me an example and use some humour to do it?

Well, since you asked so nicely - no.

Bloomberg can take a seat but i think it will be REALLY interesting if Sanders wins. There is a lot of antisemitism among the evangelicals and they have been hiding it for the sake of their Israel agenda. It is going to be hard for them to continue to walk that line when they start foaming at the mouth over a Jewish President like they did over a black one.

Had to research DSA (DSA, what?), ok that milk toast group that merged with NAM in the early '80s. Now, I have a handle on what dilute mishmash there're talking about. Yeah, now I recall our Marxist Studies professors discussing NAM (pre-DSA) with disdain. Anti-USSR, Anti-bloc, anti-China, Cuba, and most of the progressive Central and South American movements, and inclusive of most Democratic (big D) issues without any credit to the history where from they sparked. Can't see much difference between them and the DNCC.

How can this group use "Socialist" in their name, even yet their manifesto. So, the word turns off some younger voters. They need to know of the people who fought, were tortured, and were killed paving the way.
The website mentions, "Christian Socialists," as being part of their coalition, a group is either one or the other, but are theoretically opposed. A true socialist or communist doesn't support a position that distracts or soothes people's suffering making them less aware of their plight.

Seems there are more varieties of "socialists":
Marxism–Leninism.
Mutualism.
Collectivist anarchism.
Anarchist communism.
Anarcho-syndicalism.
Ethical socialism.
Christian socialism.
Christian anarchism.
etc
than there are churches in Oklahoma where every guy with more than 100 sq feet to spare in the back 40 can build his own church and call it whatever he wants as long as it will fit on a billboard right beside the road.

I imagine you can find similar places in Alberta.

Thanks Cheryl.
I tried to watch it but couldn't. The message is: "The uploader has not made this video available in your country." Arghh. I bet it's uproariously funny.

Is it the Chanukah Song?

Watching Bernie on a CNN town hall. He's doing great as always. People really do respond to him. Fingers crossed.

Yes, it is.

Bernie did well in the debate and is double digits leading in Nevada last I read. One step at a time, but feeling positive.

Last nights debate struck me as being a schoolyard brawl or food-fight. Disappointing on all fronts.

I guess hoping for a group of functioning adults to have a rational discussion about policy issues kind of set me up for that.

What a bunch of :jester::jester::jester::jester::jester::jester:

Something that is CA specific but bothers me is that in this state if you are not a registered *insert party* you cannot participate in the primaries. You are required to change affiliations temporarily to participate and then hope that the automatic return to previous registration works. I think this might (know it does) discourage a lot of people from voting the primaries. The state process for doing this is clear as mud. Mine worked but I don't see too many going through the hassle. There are a lot of delegates in CA.

I moved to California a couple months ago and registered as a 'no party preference ' voter; I did this in hopes of avoiding the non stop mailings and calls during election seasons. I feared I had screwed myself when my NPP ballot came in the mail with no primary voting options. However, I just called the registrar's office, told them I wish to vote in the upcoming primary and they're sending out a new ballot. I asked her twice about being switched to the Democratic party preference and she assured me I haven't, that I'm still registered as no party preference. The only hoop I have to jump through is mailing a pink slip, which comes with the new ballot, back to them saying I received two ballots and have shredded the first one. It comes with its own envelope so easy peasy.

Bernie Sanders has told Russia publicly to stay out of U.S. elections. I wonder what he will do about the Russia issue if he wins? Bernie doesn't strike me as an especially tech-savvy guy. Will he be smart enough to get input and help from tech-savvy people?
