The Democratic nomination of Joe Biden is basically settled. Realistically, it has been since the beginning of March. But many states, including my own, still have primaries upcoming. In some cases, there are still primary races for non-presidential contests. For most of us in these states, though, we have been disenfranchised from the primary process….
I just published a piece called Why Not Bernie? I am currently undecided, I wanted Warren, so I’m reasoning through my options in public. It’s time for me to tackle Joe Biden. I’m finding it a bit difficult to write about Biden. He’s literally been in Washington for my whole life. But I’ve never given…
Elizabeth Warren was my first choice to get the Democratic nomination and run for president. I explained some of my reasons in a post called Why Warren? There were other candidates that intrigued me, Kamala Harris and Julian Castro come to mind. I could see myself voting for either one of them if they were…
I wanted to say a little something about the latest kerfuffle in the Democratic Primary race. Elizabeth Warren said that, in a closed door meeting between the two, Bernie Sanders said that a woman couldn’t win the presidency. Sanders denies saying any such thing. Audio was captured after the last presidential debate of them arguing…
In Connecticut, where I think most of my readers are, the primaries are this Tuesday. Every time an election is coming up, I like to remind everyone to vote. I know that’s a tall order for a midterm primary, but I want to urge every eligible voter to go out this Tuesday and vote. The…
For some reason, many (not all) people are either unable or unwilling to see the sexism being directed at Hillary Clinton this primary season. I know I’ve been going on about this, but I thought I’d give it one more try. But, this time I’m going to go about it differently. I’m going to provide…
I wasn’t going to comment on this. When I saw on the news on Thursday that Bernie Sanders had said that Hillary Clinton is not qualified to be president, I was going to ignore it. I was sure about a million other people would talk about it, so why add my voice? Plus, I’m completely…
When the Democratic results on Super Tuesday came in, I felt relieved. I wasn’t expecting that reaction. I thought I was undecided, but I guess I’m undecided no longer. I was a little nervous that Bernie Sanders would upset Clinton and I felt better about things when it became clear that Clinton would take the…
I’ve been seeing something baffling lately. I don’t know if it’s widespread or if it’s just a quirk of my social media feeds, but I’ve been seeing a bunch of people saying that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are the same. I don’t mean to say that they have similarities (I’ll talk about those later). …
There’s something that’s been bothering me about this primary season on the Democrat’s side. Whenever I read something written by a Hillary Clinton supporter, they always seem to say that they like Bernie Sanders and then go on to say why they like Clinton better. But, whenever I read something written by a Bernie Sanders…
