Almost impossible to win

vendredi 20 mars 2020 à 01:00

Biden's victories in recent primaries make it almost impossible for Sanders to win the nomination.

For a while I hoped that we could have a good president, but it seems we will have another lousy one.

Joy of establishment

vendredi 20 mars 2020 à 01:00

The joy of the Democratic Party establishment, and its tools in the mainstream media, at Biden's recent victories show what we are up against as we try to correct America's giant problems. But we cannot give up.

I have no reason to think that the election was dishonest, overall. More Democratic voters have voted for Biden. I can't argue with those votes. But that doesn't compel me to vote for Biden. I do not vote for right-wing plutocratists merely because others have done so.

Professors of economics for Medicare for All

vendredi 20 mars 2020 à 01:00

Many professors of economics and related fields state their endorsement for Medicare for All as the affordable way to provide healthcare to Americans.

Our current system fails to do so.

Stopping harming world in some decades

vendredi 20 mars 2020 à 01:00

Billionaire Polluters (BP) is talking about aiming to become "carbon-neutral" some decades from now.

This is such a weak target that it contributes little more than lip service to avoiding climate disaster.

Medical terrorism

*Accusing US of 'Medical Terrorism,' Iran Demands Trump Lift Drug Import Sanctions Amid Coronavirus Crisis.*

The current dispute between Iran and the US is entirely the fault of the US (specifically, the saboteur in chief). The US ought to apologize, and help Iran, in exchange for its agreement once again to the non-nuclear deal which was succeeding in stopping Iran from refining nuclear fuel.

There is no fundamental reason for the US and Iran to be enemies. The Iranian regime represses Iranians on religious and political grounds, but nowhere near as much as Salafi Arabia does.
