Letter To A Friend

"These days when I get up I dive into Electoral Politics. I do my best to promote Bernie Sanders and destroy Hillary Clinton. After three or four hours of that, I'm exhausted and either go back to bed or retreat into reading Space Opera, which allows me to decompress from our current reality.

Whatever surplus energy I have goes into maintaining this household and getting my dental issues resolved before these rotting teeth kill me. I'm hoping to feel better once they're gone. Then I'll need to get a dental appliance of some sort so I can chew properly. Uncertain as to how that is going to happen just yet.

What little I might have left over after all the above I devote to working on Liber Sorores ect.

..and that is pretty much that."

"If [when?] Hillary takes the Democratic nomination, [I said 'takes', not 'wins'] Bernie is not going to run a Green Party ticket. That would a tactical and strategic mistake.

Tactically it would almost certainly guarantee a Trump victory. Such would validate DNC accusations that he 'did a Nader'. If Hillary loses to Trump on her own, those accusations will be made anyway, but won't have the same kind of weight.

Strategically, Bernie has made serious investment in the Democratic Party. Even if Hillary wins, it will likely be a narrow victory. If she loses, Bernie is positioned to become the effective head of the party. Either way, he returns to the Senate far more powerful than he was before. In addition, he will be able to use the party's infrastructure to move the Brand New Congress project forward."
