Let’s Roll Up Our Sleeves and Get to Work
Like so many of you, I am in deep despair. I cannot believe that we will spend the next four years with a foul-mouthed, thin-skinned, misogynistic, race-baiting demagogue as our President. I cannot believe that he won over a highly-qualified, well-respected stateswoman who had more job experience than any non-incumbent in recent memory. I cannot…

More Thoughts on Third-Party Voting and Game Theory
I got a lot of pushback on the last thing I wrote about the “Bernie or Bust” movement, so let me try again to explain why, rationally, it makes no sense to vote third party within the current system. If you don’t want to read the whole thing, skip to the end, where I link…

I watched every minute of it, and it made me prouder than ever to be one of his supporters. It was a very unique combination of inspiring rhetoric, stinging rebukes, witty one-liners, and specific, concrete policy. I think…

Right-wingers: The Playground Bullies of Politics
I just thought the last line of this interview with Robert Reich was funny. I read it and thought, man, he’s exactly right.

Could We Be Heading for 4-Party General Election?
With the events of the last 3 weeks, we’re really looking at an interesting scenario for November. Hillary Clinton’s campaign continues to insist that it will court superdelegates to win the nomination, no matter the damage to the party, if she hasn’t won a plurality of committed delegates. It certainly doesn’t look at this point…
