At this point, the thing I like best about Mike Bloomberg is that he's laser-focused on

taking down that thing currently infesting the White House and not wasting time & energy sniping at other Democratic candidates. They could take a lesson from Mike. I don't think that whole Ukraine clusterfuck hurt Biden as much as him engaging with other candidates. His numbers started slipping when he began doing it and it's a goddamned shame.

They all need to keep their eye on the ball, I mean that treasonous orange horror show.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

His name is Nathan J. Robinson .

An article came up as follows: (I'm not posting the entire article. I'm providing enough information that anyone who wants to can find it).

This is from The Nation
by Teddy Ostrow

Title of article: Nathan J. Robinson Wants You to Be a Socialist


"We talked to the editor of Current Affairs about his new book, an impassioned argument for socialism in the 21st century.

When I spoke with him by phone to discuss his latest book, Why You Should Be a Socialist, he made one thing clear: “I’m not writing for leftists. The whole book is why you, non-socialist, should be a socialist.”
