It really is amazing that when a popular young Democratic politician who wants to solve real problems for people beats an old-guard institutionalist Democrat in a primary, the institutionalist Democrat just stays in the race and basically runs as a Republican.

It's so fucking funny that this guy dressed like an off-duty clown and pretended to use a paper map for two days to prove a point, but there's a difference between "Waze uses machine learning to predict routes and traffic patterns" and "we fed every book in the library into an event horizon"

Tbqh this is a pretty competent authoritarian system, fifty million other things he said during breakfast are much worse. Chill tf out
Just the President of the United States praising a dictatorial authoritarian political system
Trump: "You have a great partner now in the US, getting you started. You'll have everything done quickly. Record time. Much faster than any other country other than maybe China. In China you have a good system also. You have one where President Xi can approve it immediately. So that's even faster."

Okay, let's do this! We are at $338.42. I'd dearly love to get this into four figures by Friday. Even that is a drop in the bucket compared to the level of need.

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
