2. Bernie Officially Kicked by the “D” Party
Democrats Kick Bernie Off New York Ballot ~ The Jimmy Dore Show
3. Insufficient Champion
Bernie did a pretty great job putting important things on the public debate table, but he has failed completely in his promise to be an organizer in chief for the things we need, turning instead into a sheepdog for one of the corrupt major parties (which by the way collaborate so much with each other that they are better understood as a single party, one that serves the rich and blocks democracy):
Bernie Has Become A Cartoon Of A Leader ~ The Jimmy Dore Show
4. Bipartisan Betrayal

9. Opportunity if Jesse Ventura Runs as Candidate
Graham Elwood argues for it, and someone left a comment hitting the nail on the head: “Finally someone to vote for that isn’t a protest vote. Jesse 2020.”

10. Bernie’s Shortcomings
When Bernie’s Staff Forced Him To Reject Billionaire Money ~ The Jimmy Dore Show
11. Careerists vs Real Champions
The reason why we must not merely vote for talk the talk candidates but pressure them to walk the walk and build a strong movement at the bottom independent from them:
AOC’s Theatrics Hide Her Obedience To Pelosi & Party ~ The Jimmy Dore Show
12. How to Unite When so Split
Platformism: Uniting the left by splitting it up…? ~ NonCompete
13. Solidarity over Isms
I tend to be skeptic when Nomiki claims we can take over the D-Party and have found her economic understanding a it weak so far, but the point she makes here is one I also believe in (in my case for years by now), namely to peel away the dividing labels and fences and build solidarity based on real issues:
How The Movement Keeps Its Power ~ Nomiki Konst

Oligarchy vs UBI
Is Nancy Pelosi Caving To UBI?.. “Perhaps” ~ The Rational National
15. Music: Piel Morena
Many emotions… reflected in this music recording… shared with those out there who are not commercially captured in a cage of hip hop humping… and its title has a special meaning in an age of certain racist fascism… nuff said… (yes, ‘piel morena’ translates as ‘brown skin’):
