Yeah Cornel was not an Obama fan last I heard. He is very left leaning further than Bernie. My dad has been a Cornel fan for many years and when I was a teenager would tell me about his philosophies and things he wrote about. In college I listened to his radio program on public radio from time to time. I recall observing that he was even more left than me and Iām pretty far on the political spectrum.

finreporter, lol there's a saying that you lean so far left (or right) that you'd row in circles

There's also a saying that when Democrats form a firing squad they get in a circle. I do wish we could stop the infighting and concentrate on retaining the Presidency and gaining/keeping control of Congress.

I do wish we could stop the infighting and concentrate on retaining the Presidency and gaining/keeping control of Congress. I have hope for both, given that the more voters emerge (young and typically more progressive) over the coming years, and the left's continued efforts to mobilize eligible voters, we can continue to elect politicians who actually are in it for the interests of the majority of the country and not just the few squeaky wheels in the minority, and furthermore not in it for the donations and gifts they receive from corporations and special interests. I saw today that Ohio voters rejected a republican-backed measure that if I understand it correctly would require 60% in favor for passing of state constitutional amendments rather than a simple majority, which was allegedly put on the ballot in the first place because over 50% of voters but slightly less than 60% were polled saying they'd be in favor of changes to abortion rights in the state (in favor of greater abortion rights rather than restricting them). Many articles commented that in Ohio this was an even higher turnout than in some of the primaries for governor, etc. Meaning people are mobilizing. Even the Wisconsin votes that Amy has talked about here (that gave the Supreme Court a democrat majority for the first time in I don't recall how many years) gives me hope that we're finally rising up and making our voices heard in all elections.

Heard on CBS news radio that next Monday Trump will be holding a news conference at his golf club in New Jersey where he'll release evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election in Georgia. He made a comment that the report was almost finished. Wonder what he'll come up with.

or the famous "nobody knows about (fill in the blank topic) as much as me" or "witch hunt" or "no other president in history has been treated this badly" etc.
His mind works like a broken record and can never get over that hump nor come up with anything fresh and new. Constant same quotes on repeat.
His yes men are also already lined up to kiss his behind. Jordan and McCarthy just want daddy to love them and give them their approval pat on the head!

My husband was watching MSNBC today and they were reading from the indictment. He said they were planning to seize the voting machines in one of the counties in Georgia (the person in charge agreed to this) and then have a software/hardware person change the votes in the machines to show there really was a problem. Trump was to issue an executive order to seize the machines. One of his lawyers walked into the meeting and put a stop to it. Rudy G. was saying they didn't have to seize the machines he would just have the guy go to Georgia and fix the machines.

Birds of a feather.
I know a 90 year old man who is banned from Canada, never allowed to be alone with children, and a few other disturbing things. He thinks trump is the greatest president we've ever had.
These are the people who support him. These are also the people who had a hissy fit over First Lady Michelle Obama wearing a dress that showed her shoulders.
Give me a break.

But his cult does not believe anything that doesn't come out of his mouth. Case closed.
