Sanders will answer questions on Fox News to show Republicans how the bullshitter lied to them.

US citizens: call on Congress to start the process of eliminating the electoral college.

The page gives the cheater a concession he does not deserve. He did not really win the election in the electoral college. Rather, Republicans stole the election in a few states.

The UN Human Rights Committee added the right to clean, affordable water, and safety from climate damage, to its list of human rights.

I basically agree with this change, but we need to recognize that it is easier in principle to give people freedoms than to fill their material rights.

For instance, a government can respect freedom of speech by abolishing laws that infringe it. Giving people feasible access to clean water takes a lot of work, and that work may take years. It is shameful that the US has regressed in that department; I put it down to plutocracy.

As to climate damage, counteracting the effects of global heating will be totally hopeless in the long term. The only way civilization can protect itself from those effects is to prevent them.

Don't mistake caution for practicality. Medicare for All is the only practical path to controlling costs and covering everyone.

The truly rich don't have to cheat to buy their children's way into an elite university. They treat it as a birthright.

I think that the deepening poverty that the US imposes on the non-rich is a more important problem than the decrease of their always-tiny chance of becoming rich. However, it seems plausible that the two are results of the same cause: plutocracy.

It was democracy, and the policies it established, that made a good college education available to non-rich young adults. Now it's plutocracy that fuels all the decisions that make it unavailable.

I don't think people need to earn merit to deserve a bearable life. Everyone deserves that.
