May we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, the worm, the spiderlings.
Children who sense the rose needs the thorn and run into rainswept days the same way they turn towards the sun...
And when they're grown and someone has to speak for those who have no voice,
may they draw upon that wilder bond, those days of tending tender things and be the one. -

It's going to be fun to watch the Leftists eat their own while Howard Shultz sneaks up the back stairs.Originally posted by Michele View PostThe year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn:
God's in his heaven—

Ocasio-Cortez has sucked all the oxygen out of the Democratic tent. She gives beauty tips now.Originally posted by Novaheart View Post
That she's a ditz with a degree doesn't matter. She's really pretty and bubbly and committed to socialism, whatever that is (it's not Venezuala of course), she can dance; who wouldn't want her at your party?
So the 2020 crew above chase this dotty debutante however they can, and one way is getting out front in the support of leftwing policies, mindful that rationality doesn't matter. You can leave all that behind with the doddering Bernie Sanders and his many humble houses. Would AOC's freebies cost us north of $42 trillion? Who cares?! It's the promise that counts. Kamaha Harris, the prone prosecutor, just promised even more! Cue the cheers.
The Democrats are ebullient at their 2018 election win in the House, and also with Pelosi's slap-down of the president. They can taste victory in 2020. I think they misread the election win, mostly because of the glittering exception to the rule that Ocasio Cortez is.
The way to a Democratic House majority was paved by a large contingent of retiring Republican incumbents. (And by the new idea of "vote harvesting," but that's a different thread.) Without that wave of retirements, in a body where over 90% of incumbents are routinely returned to office, the climb to a majority by the Dems would have been far more difficult. However, most of the victorious Democrats who flipped seats ran as relative moderates.
New, leftist Democrats are repudiating the policies of their Democratic leaders of just a very few years ago. They are chasing the enthusiasm of a fact-free ideologue, and trying to stay ahead of the intemperate internet police.
It is going to be fun to watch the Leftists eat their own, but Howard Shultz is old and white, and three years too conservative. Going nowhere.- "I'm a hell of a lot smarter than most of you guys." — Joe Biden, at Jesse Jackson's funeral, March 2026.
- "That's all I do in my life. I make deals. I'm really good at it." — President Donald Trump, Oct. 13, 2025.
- “Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out,” — David Horowitz.
- "We [Democrats] are all willing to work with anyone who is serious about doing the work of censoring the American people, and advancing progress." — Ayanna Pressley, explaining progressives.
- "Florida is where Woke goes to die." — Ron DeSantis.
- "No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence." — Nancy Pelosi, explaining Lawfare.
- “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”— Ben Franklin, who got it right.
- "The way I see it, there's always, c'mon, there's always money. It's there." — Elizabeth Warren, explaining socialism.
- "The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn't originally a climate thing at all.... We really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing." — Saikat Chakrabarti, then AOC's Chief of Staff.

Which one?Originally posted by Novaheart View Post"Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality. Mildred released a statement on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in 2007: 'I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, Black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.'." - Mildred Loving (Loving v. Virginia)Comment

I just hope that all the various Democratic candidates have a vigorous exchange of ideas, and then the party can proceed to nominate whichever candidate does the best job of attaching an insulting adjective to their opponents' names and repeating it like a mantra.Comment

Hopefully the Democrat super delegates have been instructed to keep secret who the party has already already decided to run so the preservation of election theater remains intact.Originally posted by Norm dePlume View PostIf it pays, it staysComment
