    Kamala is the leading corporate candidate, the anointed one. Wall Street and Silicon Valley and the relatively few Democratic billionaires can trust her. AIPAC can trust her totally.
    She can brag about being cool and smoking mar1juana and claim to be a tough prosecutor while trying to hide she locked up lots of people for mar1juana. She has a history of going easy on billionaire white collar criminals.
    Like Obama she had a non-American Black father and grew up in a non-Black Household.
    She is a woman.
    With much fanfare she can talks left e.g make a big big announcement she is co-sponsor of Sander's Medicare for All bill while quickly getting vague and backing off in interview questions on it.

    All the boxes for corporate Democrat checked. Only Joe Biden can rival her on this but he is white and old and male.

    BTW did I mention? she is better than Donald Trump.

    Actually Kamala's idea for healthcare - eliminating the insurance industry from it - is the only thing I agree with her about. I've been saying this same thing since ACA (Obamacare) was enacted.

    On everything else - I gotta run for cover ….

    Truth. Kind of reminds me of a conversation me and a few others were having reg Hillary with our friends dad who is a Trumper. The older Trumper said reg Hillary vs Trump “uhh would you rather have status quo”.... to which our response was a resounding “YES” all at once.

    The status quo Democrat isn’t perfect but thinking that the better option is Donald Freaking Trump, you are nuts.

    But the reality is of course Kamala and Obama before her are not pure saviors by any stretch, and its going to be really hard to compete enough financially in a presidential bid without the Clinton financial backers which I believe it’s been reported have pledged to Kamala awhile back.

    And we can blame Kamala and Obama and The Clinton’s before but the real culprit here is actually the Supreme Court which decided in the Reagan Era that Corporations are people and can donate limitlessly to political campaigns.

    So now the American people really have two choices... fossil fuel right wing billionaires or Wall Street socially liberal billionaires. The people who saw Donald Trump as the one who wouid break the wheel for the good of the country were complete fools, and most still are.

    It was no naïve mistake by the conservatives on the S.Ct. to out of thin air decide money was speech. It has had predictable and desired results, though admittedly the sheer lunacy of Trump makes them wish for a Romney type who has identical concern for the billionaire class.

    Bernie Sanders is the real deal ( and not just sort of talking like one to win the election)who will try to break out of the choice between socially liberal or illiberal billionaires. Sanders has a chance and at worst he will continue the political education of Americans that the millionaires on our monopolistic media suppress. Polls show Sanders' positions on Medicare for All, $15/h minimum wage, Free state college/apprenticeship, increased taxes on the rich etc as majority positions. Unfortunately academic studies show little correlation between the desires of the majority and policy positions in the Citizen's United Washington.

    To stamp the serial number on the bullet itself … physics man …. you can stamp the cartridge but not the projectile itself , its just not possible. its going to cause a misfire and potential harm to the user.

    The hammer strikes the cartridge from behind - that one's easy , the projectile itself …. impossibility.



    AOC ?

    99 out of the leading 100 climate scientists?
    97 out of the leading 100 climate scientists?

    I glad we have gotten this straightened out early in the argument or else we would waste a whole bunch of time needlessly.

    is there a list of these guys somewhere on the internet? I googled it but didn't come up with anything. I did find a Top Fifteen list but Hansen is Number Two and Michael Mann is Number Five, so I stopped reading at that point. ;)

    Seriously, if you watch the video, it is obviously satire, but it is based on real facts. 97% of climate science reports say humans are causing climate change. The ball is in the other court where climate "deniers" need to show scientifically they are correct. If they do, the scientific community will change their consensus.

    Kamala says "the facts are still unfolding." Kinda wish she had said that the first time around before jumping to conclusions.
