3/7/20

Biden surged in Super Tuesday after South Carolina voted.  Blacks led the way and apparently whites followed their lead.  Turnout was good but didn't seem to help Bernie much

I'm disappointed that Bernie isn't doing better but my position all along is to support any Democrat who wins the primary in order to get rid of Trump.  AND, regardless of who wins, keep the Movement going to make the Democrats more progressive or even lay the groundwork for a third Progressive Party.

Poor Bernie.  He hasn't lost yet but it has been apparent for months that he's not going to win going head to head with the drug companies, insurance companies and fossil fuel corporations and maybe all corporations and the one percenters.

If I were Bernie I would name Stacy Abrams as vice president if he wins, tell Elizabeth Warren that he would like to name her as Attorney General but that it's awfully important that she stay in the Senate.  I would also not pick fights with all the rich and all the corporations at the same time.  Target the corrupt and greedy but work with the few who see that regulation and fair taxes benefit us all and keep the system sustainable.

Bernie might have one last dramatic chance.  But most importantly we all need to keep the Movement going.  What is the Movement? The Progressive Caucus, Justice Democrats and Courage to Change as well as Bernie and AOC??
