Almost any Democrat could defeat the bullshitter, but it won't do much good unless that Democrat is a credible change agent.

Trump can't legitimately win in the electoral college, but the Republicans might steal that election, as they stole the 2016 election.

The head of Salafi Arabia's state oil company warns that the expectation that the fossil fuel industry is likely to shrink endangers its certitude of rushing us off the climate cliff without any slowdown.

If oil prices go down, that encourages users to use oil rather than switch to renewables or reduce energy use.

If oil prices go up, that encourages planet-roaster companies to build more oil wells.

But if we put a heavy tax on use of oil, we get the best of both possibilities: a high selling price that encourages users to use less oil, and low income for oil companies that discourages planet-roasters from drilling for more.

To achieve this goal, it needs to be a heavy tax — a small tax would have a small effect. Weak measures of any kind won't achieve the goal.

(satire) Trump Solemnly Lays Wreath At Site Where He Would Have Died During Vietnam War If He Weren't Rich.

I don't think it is right to criticize any American for avoiding fighting in the Vietnam War. The thing to criticize is that some Americans were not allowed to avoid it.

Israel has planted 600,000 colonists in occupied Palestine in violation of international law. Several government ministers just signed a pledge to situate 2 million more colonists.

This would involve taking large stretches of land from the Palestinian inhabitants.

Meanwhile, Israeli ethnic cleansers are using biased laws to seize houses in Jerusalem one by one.

Sanders has the potential to swing the US in a progressive direction.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez cannot run for vice president in 2020 because that requires being at least 35 years of age. Aside from that, I think it would be wise for her to get more experience in lower office before aiming for higher office.

It takes time to become a steady pillar of justice. We know that no defeat will make Sanders give up, because he has had many defeats. In Congress, Ocasio-Cortez will encounter defeats. Over time, she will become another steady pillar.

I hope I will live long enough to help elect Ocasio-Cortez president some day, perhaps in 2036.
