Will America embrace the best version of itself and move beyond racism and misogyny? Or will this country succumb to white supremacy and self-destruction? Let's unite and fight for democracy.
If we're looking for a ticket balancing, value-added VP, how about two-term NC governor Roy Cooper? He's term-limited and has been a popular governor here in NC, done battle against a reactionary GOP legislative majority for years. Battle tested, ready to go.
I like Mark Kelly, but we need to preserve our Democratic majority in the senate.
Apologies all. I stand corrected. Matthew Kelly it is. I didn't even notice it when I looked at the book. Sunday is my slow day.... getting ready for jury duty tomorrow.
You know, all we hear about is whether America is ready for a black woman in the White House. And yet no one seems to ask whether the country is ready for a convicted felon, liar, racist, misogynist, mentally deranged old man for president.
I’m a retired librarian. Sen. Mark Kelly has written books about his wife Gabby Gifford, gun control, and two adorable picture books about Mousetronaut and another called Space Twins about him and his brother.
I’m voting blue for the trifecta. We need it to stop the insanity of the SCOTUS (which I fear will rear to ugly power and more insanity between now and November with the lawsuits that will most certainly be filed by the GOP to throw more chaos into the race/block the Dems; transferring campaign funds, getting on the ticket in every state. But here’s hoping . . . I’’ve almost become The Lincoln Project . . .Trump nope, where do I vote.
Other than that garble, a refreshing viewpoint. I am 82, center-of-the road, neither R or D and I hate the killing of babies, which will present a conscience issue to me in November, but congrats to President Biden's gesture of democratic thinking; maybe something good will come of this come 11/?, God willing and the Creek don't rise.... I am just as insistent that our democracy act like one; I pray for our nation every day.
thanks for the spell check! The number one killer of children in US now is gun violence, Phil. Also GOP went against child tax credits and is going against child labor laws. They also dont believe in climate change, which is a killer of all life. Just some info! Also, who wants a Trump dictatorship?
Having to vote for a convicted rapist, convicted felon, compulsive liar, who fomented civil unrest or the ONE issue of women’s right to TOTAL healthcare decisions will cause you to stutter at the polls? Really? Where is YOUR moral compass?
Except they are not satisfied with getting Biden off of it, now the bait n' switch about Harris "strengthening her candidacy by having others enter the race" B.S. is getting louder. Why does she have to do that? Rich donors not satisfied with their manufactured win they achieved with lies, blackmail, a flunky actor & a duplicitous ex Dem pres want to silence Millions of primary voters on both sides of the ticket, not just the top. So please don't let them get away with that crap. It's misogyny disguised as "common sense". Would you TRUST them to fairly do this "blitz" primary, because that is what they're really saying, but they're trying to remain undetected so they can get away with it. I wouldn't trust this group of corrupt shills to tell me what time it was accurately, let alone allow them to run a new primary for delegates to choose candidate & keep score of the bloody inaccurate, easily hacked polls they justified to get rid of Biden in the first place.
I'm telling you right now, that this will ruin this party for years to come. We lost the pro-democracy narrative by allowing rich donor asshats to blackmail our president into stepping down because they threatened to cut off the entire party. You CANNOT fight fascism, & protect democracy when you allow rich donors to disenfranchise Millions of voters. This is crazy & it is not going to work. The lies they've told about Biden are still lies. It was never about him being old, nobody withheld anything from anyone or covered up his health at any time.
Those rich donors are not going to get away with silencing Millions & try to lie us into primary that we won't have a say in. They don't want Kamala & they'll make sure she doesn't get in & it will break Biden's heart & send him to an early grave after they backstab him again. They should be sued in a class action lawsuit & maybe the DNC for it's mishandling & misrepresentation to the voters too.
A tour de force from a guy I loved ever since he and Rick Wilson had a good laugh with Don Lemon. I don’t always agree with you but I respect your POV and hope you continue to fight for the right things.
Beautifully said, Waj. As I think of running mates, I am intrigued by Mark Kelly.

True enough. Cooper would be a great choice.
THE Mark Kelly? the author of Venerable Bishop Sheen's book on daily prayer?
Apologies all. I stand corrected. Matthew Kelly it is. I didn't even notice it when I looked at the book. Sunday is my slow day.... getting ready for jury duty tomorrow.
That book is by Matthew Kelly.
I wasn’t aware of that.
Different Mark Kelly. That guy did his book decades ago.
You know, all we hear about is whether America is ready for a black woman in the White House. And yet no one seems to ask whether the country is ready for a convicted felon, liar, racist, misogynist, mentally deranged old man for president.
So insightful. Dems have the key issues. Focus, focus, focus and hammer, hammer, hammer everyday. Totally on the offensive.

Excellent analysis.
From your lips to God’s ear. Yes. Let’s do this!!!

You’re right. The book came out in 2021.
Definitely a different Mark Kelly.
Mark Kelly is an author in his own right - but it is a common name and the one I am thinking of wrote,
"The Wisdom of Fulton Sheen" in 2021: excerpts from his TV talks back in the '50s and '60s.
I wasn’t aware of that.
Too late. Kamala is ruining her already defunct career
Ignorant statement, bits & bytes.
