It shouldn’t be too surprising that Sanders’ decline is associated with an increase in Warren’s numbers. Sanders and Warren are the two most progressive major candidates in the Democratic field. Both have consistently polled their best among…

Bowie covering this Easybeats song about Friday.

Ok. This rec list diary shows how far DK has sunk. It’s all about Mayor Pete’s military service and how noble and good it was. No mention about how it was resume building for the good centrist Dem. Why the holy hell are military people better for us than non-military?…[Read more]

I will add this which I thought was the best part. Yeah the headline shows the NYT editorial bias.

Mr. Sanders’s activities during his mayoralty bring into relief the fervently anti-imperialist worldview that continues to guide him. They also underscore his combative ideological persona, which has roiled national Democratic politics as t…
