    • No SSN on that card and it’s not signed.
    • “United States Birth Certificate” is neither a Certificate of Live Birth Abroad nor marked for the particular domestic county of your birth.
    • That Driver’s License ain’t from my state
    • Incorrect number of stars on your flag
    • Hat is unworn
    • Francis Scott Key didn’t produce a modern recording of the anthem

    Well, it looks like you might be trying to pull a fast one with all those fake documents and faux patriotism. Step out of the vehicle–you’re off to El Salvador.















  • I think moneyed interests will outcompete progressive will. It doesn’t matter to voters who the chair is if they’re still seeing more ads for Newsom all throughout the primary and electoral seasons. I don’t think the DNC is gonna pull a reverse Hillary and force Newsom out if their base is promoting him in the primaries and I think their base is gonna promote him in the primaries.

    I hope you’re right, I really do. I just don’t think it’s enough.

    There’s still an inordinate amount of money in politics, a huge number of people that aren’t paying attention, a continued misunderstanding in how government works, and misattribution to what the President’s authority is enough that many people only vote on leap years. There’s also too many ideological purists that refuse to vote out of misguided fears that it constitutes an endorsement of the system or that it’s ineffective thereby ceding their opportunity to influence to stalwart Dems and waivering centrists.

    The right has been working since desegregation to secure their political power and neoliberal ideologies have become a mainstay since the energy crisis. A couple of terrible terms isn’t going to be enough to break the ratchet and usurp decades of established power in one election–even if the chair of one of the parties is different now.
