Somehow "the most qualified candidate ever" was rejected by the 2020 Democratic Primary electorate without earning a single delegate. Anointing such a candidate was electoral malpractice of the highest order.

youtu.be/JIxJOO02jWo. Around 1:00am last night my elderly father’s emergency phone app malfunctioned. While I was failing to fall asleep, I had this melody running through my head. I used an app and hummed it. This was the song running through my head. I haven’t heard this in years. Go figure.

A former Secretary of Labor named Robert Reich didn’t actually care about working people either. A group of illegally locked out union workers from the Staley Starch plant in Decatur, IL traveled to Washington with their Democratic Congressman, Glenn Poshard to ask for his help.
