Hey everyone! So I needed to take a little break after election day from posting diaries and I think you all know why. First off, I am very happy that my home state of Pennsylvania delivered for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris! I was in Cleveland this past weekend heading...

Received this e-mail today from former presidential candidate, Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D. TX), and his organization, Powered By People: Texas is the biggest battleground state in the country, with elections for the State House that will determine the future of redistricting and a Presidential contest that might come down to...

Received this e-mail today from former presidential candidate, Andrew Yang, in support of former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign: I centered my campaign for president on one simple principle: We need a fairer, more human-centered America. This idea could not be more important today as our country grapples with...
New York Magazine has a must-read piece out right now: When fourth-term senator Joe Biden built his Wilmington, Delaware, home in 1996, he had no plans to turn it into a backup office, let alone a presidential-campaign isolation bunker from which to plan a crisis presidency an order of magnitude more expansive than anything...
I’m not sure how to feel about this Iowa caucus snafu, other than to ask, once again — why the hell does Iowa have such an outsized influence on who gets to be president? It looks bad on a few levels: Turnout was mediocre, which suggests enthusiasm is not where it...
Actions speak volumes over words, and the punches thrown by the Democratic presidential candidates at Elizabeth Warren tonight scream, “She’s the frontrunner!” I don’t give a shit how often they say, “Polls don’t matter! I meet all kinds of people out on the campaign trail…blah, blah, blah.” The rest of the...

Can we agree that money in politics, especially from corporations and oligarchs, is not healthy for our democratic process? But we have a political system that equates “free speech” with how much money you can donate to a political candidate or campaign. Until that system changes, we are stuck with...

Earlier today, I created a Twitter list of every major candidate who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. I’m defining “major candidate” as being eligible for being listed on Wikipedia’s table of 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidates, so, as a result, I’m not going to list every single person who...
