"I’m not a member of any organized political party -- I’m a Democrat," Will Rogers is supposed to have quipped nearly a century ago, but his assessment has never been truer than it is right now.
Early polls show former Vice President Joe Biden -- who first ran for president when I was a freshman in college (I'm now 50) -- with a commanding lead, and that has some Democrats very upset. A recent Fox News poll shows Biden up 2-to-1 over nearest rival (and fellow Old White Dude) Bernie Sanders, 35-17. That puts Biden up a couple of points and Bernie down six since March.
But is Biden really the candidate Democrats crave?
Writer and progressive activist Touré went on quite the Twitter rant this morning, arguing that "it’s a mistake to take progressive voters for granted and think they’ll all come out based on Trump-hatred." He's calling for a more radical approach than Seemingly Safe Joe is willing to offer, and arguing that the nominee needs to excite the party's progressive wing: "Thinking 'the left is in the bag,' is a path to defeat. Serving the base has got to be priority #1. Not winning over the middle."

Who will win? There's only one way to decide, and that's a vicious Democrat Civil War.
I hope you've got plenty of corn for popping. Or better yet, remember Steve's Second Law of Holes: When your opponent is in one, get him a bigger and nicer shovel.
It’s really more of a race war, pitting Black Democrats against Hispanic Democrats against White Democrats.
A funny war that would be. Since Biden is nearly as commie as the others. It won’t be a very ideological fight. It will boil down to whether anyone dares really really trying to challenge whoever I’d the final soroznazi choice of puppet-candidate. And the dnc- soroznazi machine will crush anyone who dares challenge it

” But is Biden really the candidate Democrats crave?”
WHO CARES? Democrats tried to overthrow the Country.
Democrats have ruined a lot of what was Good in America.
President Donald Trump has done more for our Country than anyone else in the last 25 years! President Trump is rebuilding and repairing the damage done by Democrats.
Democrats to me, (and a lot of other people) are useless and mentally sick, because they hate their Country and they hate God and his Word.
BUT unlike the others for the most part, Biden has a LOT of quite conservative speeches for dems and even Trump to use to show his incredibly inconsistent ideology
Green New Deal???
The EU has 468 - building 27 more... Total 495
Turkey has 56 - building 93 more... Total 149
South Africa has 79 - building 24 more... Total 103
India has 589 - building 446 more... Total 1036
Philippines has 19 - building 60 more... Total 79
South Korea has 58 - building 26 more... Total 84
Japan has 90 - building 45 more... Total 135
China has 2,363 - building 1,171 more... Total 3,534
That’s 5,615 projected coal powered plants in just 8 countries.
USA has 15 - building 0 more...Total 15
And Democrat politicians with their "green new deal” want to shut down those 15 plants in order to "save” the planet.
Because you could not get many Republicans off the sofa last November, the Socialist party now runs the U.S. House Of Representatives.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
This is EXCELLENT!! I knew the rough idea about the number of coal plants, but had not yet seen actual numbers until now.
This makes the point. Whatever the USA does or doesn’t do won’t make a Tinker’s Dam regarding CO2 unless the rest of the world – especially China and India – does reduce coal-fired power plants, too.
The whole “global warming” and “climate change” gambits by Democrats are to create a *supposedly* sound, scientific basis to justify a federal government power-grab and the passage of MORE laws to increase taxes and increased control of the privately owned power industry and its distribution. Never forget the *main* motivation they have!
“Oh, we will SAVE the planet!!” 100% Pure Bull@#$!
Well said!
Two Democrats enter. No Democrats leave.
It's hoax who cares? CO2 should not be regulated at all.
#TheTimesTheyAreAChangin
The US only has 15 coal plants? I find that hard to believe, even with recent closings.
America needs The Black Party. They could run someone like Snoop Dogg. The Dems would lose bigly.
According to wikipedia, The average share of electricity generated from coal in the US has dropped from 52.8% in 1997 to 27.4% in 2018. In 2017, there were 359 coal-powered units at the electrical utilities across the US, with a total nominal capacity of 256 GW (compared to 1024 units at nominal 278 GW in 2000).

Maybe then, Trump would get the support needed to solve our problems. Getting the GOP focused is like trying to herd cats.
The problem in the republican party is some of the American hating, socialsts, (DEMS) , have successfully run as republicans. - Tom
