2020 Presidential Election

Re not scaring the center, we've tried accommodating them, and it didn't work. Moreover, the center SUPPORTS Bernie's policies. It's not just that the Democrats are posing as progressives to win the primary. The country supports most of the progressive program as poll after poll has shown.

This is not the Clinton era as 2016 proves. It really is time for real change. We might not get it, but it's so obvious -- the Trump victory proves it -- that Americans are sick of the government not representing their interests. And Democrats have been as guilty of favoring elites as Republicans.

My own plan for a California secession includes forcing the entirety of Silicon Valley to move to LA. We would keep them in the state, forcing them for the first time to pay taxes. But the outsize influence they have on the Bay Area would be dwarfed by the much bigger LA and environs. Most plans have Western Oregon and Washington included in the new country. I'm ok with that. But they are going to have to work on the lily whiteness problem.

funny we should be talking about succession because i can see it happening twenty or thirty years from now..unless we all agree to homogenize...with artificial intelligence that might become a reality..if people begin to choose linking with ai..it would be scary in one way but our world might avoid blowing up...i doubt on our own we can actually manage not destroying ourselves at some point..a little off point...sigh...

...so, i will say Bernie has 900,000 donations or something like that...he is my least favorite candidate...he would love it if Biden decided not to run...he would be just fine if that happened..i'm not saying he doesn't have ethics, just none where politics are concerned(from what i've observed) also....

Beto is getting annoying..j/s
