100 years ago, in 1924, the Democratic Party Presidential nominee
was John W. Davis. He was a democrat from West Virginia who opposed women’s suffrage, child labor laws, anti-lynching laws, and later the New Deal, while supporting poll taxes in southern states.
I wonder what his reaction would be to Harris being the Democratic candidate now. 🤣

AOC kicks Jill Stein's butt
https://x.com/AOC/status/1834346302018105762Nobody needs talking points to know Jill Stein hasn’t won so much as a bingo game in the last decade and if you actually give a damn about people, you organize, build power and infrastructure, and win.
This is a person running for President who doesn’t even know how many US Representatives there are.
If we want to be real about building alternatives to the status quo, we must build a left that is serious, powerful, and persuasive. This is not that.

The series star James Garner was a very strong Democrat. In fact, from his Wikipedia bio:
Happy 50th Anniversary 'The Rockford Files'
First episode premiered September 13, 1974.
The series star James Garner was a very strong Democrat. In fact, from his Wikipedia bio:
For his role in the 1985 CBS miniseries Space, the character's party affiliation was changed from Republican to Democrat, as in the book, to reflect Garner's personal views. Garner said, "My wife would leave me if I played a Republican."

Angela Rye schools Jill Stein
It reminds me of the debate on Tuesday. Stein was as incoherent and defensive as Trump.

WOW. Jill Stein doesn't know how many members of the House there are in Congress.
600?!?!
Just the latest sign she's a deeply unserious candidate only there to help Trump win.

Question: How do you help elect Trump and still pretend to be morally superior?
Answer: Vote for Jill Stein.
Red Alert: Putin Puppet Jill Stein and her Russia-Friendly Agenda
Voters considering support for Jill Stein’s presidential campaign must be aware that she is running almost openly as an agent of Russian President Vladimir Putin. And she is parroting Russian and MAGA talking points about Joe Biden, while barely mentioning Donald Trump. That’s why they know she’s useful to them as a spoiler that can help Trump win.
