I’m getting pretty pissed off at the circular firing squad approach to picking a presidential candidate. And I can’t stand the reporters heavy-handed attempts at moderation. All that aside, it hurts me to see so many excellent people doing such a shitty job of convincing people they should be president. I still think Elizabeth Warren has the best shot. I also think the younger candidates need to develop a great deal more experience before they tackle the presidency. Sigh but nobody asked for my opinion.

Eventually there are two primary human approaches to life: competition or cooperation.

We seem to have been persuaded that competition is the pre-eminent way - and now apply it to absolutely everything.

That’s unfortunate given how much better the results of free cooperation are. The issue of course is that there are many fewer opportunities for the greedy bastards to accumulate all the power and eat all the pies.

I tried, but found it impossible.

The fact they won't put all the front runners together makes them useless to me

Sorry you're not watching

Progressives who care deeply for our nations future are paying close attention to every voice.

I'm not suggesting you don't care deeply; I'm suggesting that those who are watching - in general - care more, and want to be a better educated voter.

Media highlights of the debates are just that - highlights.

Watching each debate is an education for anyone who participates...and an educated voter is more valuable than a voter who's just viewed "highlights".

Will check later
