    I feel like Pete running for president instead of Biden or Kamala opens up space for a socialist party to run a candidate, not to win, obviously, but to draw people to the cause. Kamala is extremely unpopular, Biden is the only one who can keep the party together, but there are serious divisions between the old and young with regard to Pete.

      Are there? My extended family of libs, young and old, were behind Mayo Pete one hundred percent.

      I know there's a 0.01% chance of this happening, but I would love to see Chokwe Antar Lumumba run for the nomination, even if it's within the Democratic party. Would be something to see. I'm trying my own little version of "The Secret" and maybe by posting about him running I can make it happen.

        I soured on him when Jackson stopped having potable water, which is evidently still the case there.

          I don't know anything about his involvement in it but my understanding is that mayors had most of their power stripped in the last half century and that specifically Jackson's water crisis is the inevitable result of Reaganism intentionally making water system maintenance financially impossible

            He's not really entirely responsible for that, honestly I'd say he shares the least blame, most of that goes to his state government and previous administrations.
