No problem agreeing with everything you said here, Red. Wrapping yourself in the flag and mindlessly following the president is not in any way patriotic. Furthermore, I believe Trump and his followers should be confronted accurately and as directly as possible. I just think actual treason for...

When you argue in good faith, whenever you deviate from common usage, you provide qualification, just a common and necessary courtesy so people can argue from common ground. You still haven’t qualified what you mean by traitor, if you actually believe not just Trump but his followers are...

I wouldn’t like to be called a traitor and I don’t like to see it thrown about so easily. Whether by Trump or his critics. Way too loaded a word to be useful for any productive discussion. The most general and benign dictionary definition of a traitor is “one who betrays or is false to an...

You write like you don’t have any Democratic friends or family that you can discuss politics over the dinner table. The reality is Democrats are all over the place on both foreign and domestic policy. Thriller seems to be more of a DNC Democrat than most of the more liberal Dems I know but even...

I meant we may as well relax over impeachment since the outcomes in both the House and Senate are pretty well set to go down along partisan lines. That all should happen sometime this winter and then we can worry for real about the actual election where the outcome is more uncertain. Still, all...

The Q3 numbers are Bernie $25.3 million, Warren 24.6, Biden 15.2. The real story is both Sanders and Warren did very well, especially in comparison to former frontrunner Biden.

Wouldn’t hurt if we could all try to relax a bit. This will be over in a few months. By then Trump will be impeached by the House and the Senate will obviously refuse to convict. Voters will still get to ultimately decide.

Socialist scaremongering has been going on for close to 90 years now, beginning way back when the New Deal first began to be formulated. It was nonsense then and remains even more so today. We now have an historical perspective on what the New Deal was and what it was not. It was not socialism...

We’re now in a more progressive era, thanks in large part to Bernie Sanders moving the Overton window for Democrats. I have some fundamental disagreements with progressives but healthcare and Wall Street oversight are not among them.

If only Warren was an updated Obama. The former president currently has a 95 percent approval rating with Democrats. Take Obama’s approval, add in his charisma and rhetorical skills, and instead of being the not so clear frontrunner, she would already be the presumptive nominee and a...

A stale insult by Trump supporters more recently picked up on by some overzealous and misguided Bernie fans. Politics really does make for strange bedfellows.

Overall good point comparing Trump with controversial and relatively unpopular presidents like Nixon and Bush who were both reelected, however, not sure why Eisenhower is being lumped in with Nixon in 72 and Bush in 04. Eisenhower was popular throughout his presidency and his approval leading up...

Can Republicans save their soul by either impeaching Trump or, at the very least, not supporting his reelection? Personally, I think it's about ten years too late, but Jeff Flake, former conservative senator from Arizona, thinks there’s still time if only his former colleagues in the senate...

Either/Or refers to one or the other of two options. It’s a “sophie’s choice” people. One or the other. Step up and make a decision.

Now that you’ve decided to be realistic we can easily agree.

I’m sure he will have his pick of cabinet posts in the Warren administration. Secretary of State, for example, would allow him to travel extensively out of the country, no need to actually move.

Which means a lot of disappointed supporters as November 2020 approaches. Hopefully, when Bernie drops out and sincerely and enthusiastically supports Warren, as he has done throughout her career, you and I and the vast majority of Bernie fans will get on board and help her defeat Trump.

It’s doesn’t matter who you or I think is the best candidate. Bernie’s chances of being the Democratic nominee are becoming increasing slim. His support was stagnating for months and has now started to decline. Unless something dramatic happens to derail Warren over the next few months Bernie...

I don’t think it’s worthless at all. Influence peddling has corrupted our politics and should be a major topic of debate in the upcoming primaries for Democrats. It would send a great message if this destroyed Biden’s political career. Here’s an excellent article on how pervasive this form of...

Warren should drop out because MSNBC has a bias against Bernie? Warren is starting to catch lightning with voters much the same way Bernie did in 2016. She would be nuts to drop out now. The next few months are very likely going to be one more bitter pill for Bernie supporters. It’s harsh, I...
