Tom Steyers Posted by Skye on May 6, 2026, 5:34 pm Valued Poster This is the guy Jack Cocchiarella says we need to get behind for President. He is from California, and he IS a billionaire, BUT Jack says that (like JB Pritzker) he is not bought, not corrupt, and wants to do what is right for the country, like nationalizing healthcare with a single-payer system, and he wants to abolish ICE and actually solve problems by enforcing the law. Check out this video. It talks about recent events with redistricting and efforts to outright stop this year's primaries and elections after the recent SC decision, and how this may result in trump just trying to cancel or suspend this year's midterm elections. The video is about 13 minutes long, but you can skip to the 10 minute mark if you want to hear what he says about Tom Steyers and why we should get behind him. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/house-moves-to-cancel-election-as-trump-posts-midterm-tantrum/vi-AA22vn6C

Of the candidates I'm aware of Posted by Trudy on May 7, 2026, 7:57 pm, in reply to "Tom Steyers" Valued Poster He seems to be the best choice. I can't remember what he said in the Dem primary debates, but it seemed kinda wacky. I don't know. The only ones I could really support are progressives like AOC, Ro Khanna, and a few others I can't think of right now. No more letting the DNC choose our candidates for public office. They're not good at it.

Hey girl! Great to see ya! How are you doing? Posted by Sia on May 7, 2026, 8:19 pm, in reply to "Of the candidates I'm aware of" ADMIN Im not at all familiar with the guy so "no comment on that".

Very well, thanks for asking. Posted by Trudy on May 7, 2026, 8:33 pm, in reply to "Hey girl! Great to see ya! How are you doing?" Well, except for my neck hurting on the left side. Which is a bit worrying as my niece and sister died of Cryptococcal Meningitis and the neck hurting on one side is a symptom of that. I've got an x-ray scheduled for the 11th. How are you and yours doing? From what I remember your health is very challenging. If I remember right you now have a grandkid? Nothing better in the world than g-kids. I just remember announcing my first g-daughter's birth on here. She is now a graduate and is working for a veterinarian - a job she's wanted since she was about 9 and cleaning out horse stalls. I suppose Rs would say she wasted her money going to college. They make me so mad, refusing to acknowledge the true importance to ones entire life an education makes. The ignorati think it's just about a job. That might seem true to one who didn't get anything else from their own education than a living - Or who have no education to under-appreciate. Well, I've gone off the rails so I'll just shut up. No more letting the DNC choose our candidates for public office. They're not good at it.

Sorry to hear about the neck issue! I hope it turns out okay. Posted by Sia on May 8, 2026, 1:28 am, in reply to "Very well, thanks for asking." ADMIN Yes, my health issues are quite challenging. Still recovering from 2 spine surgeries in December, 6 level fusion. YES, I have 2 granddaughters! Evelyn is 8 & Alana is almost 6. Lovely lasses, wicked smart, and quite adorable. WOW! A graduate already? Time flies so damn fast! Good on her for chasing and getting her dream! That is what life should be about! As for the "ignorati", I ignore them as much as possible! Nothing more annoying than a clueless buffoon, fully puffed up in self importance and arrogance, telling someone who is actually well educated and smart what's what. Dimwits should be sterilized. Okay, that was harsh, but they must not be encouraged to spread their bile. Maybe shoveling out horse stables for awhile would open their minds a tad?

Not familiar with him Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 on May 6, 2026, 9:47 pm, in reply to "Tom Steyers" ADMIN I will look in deeper. I am ready for the next No Kings Protest with the sign I designed and painted. Felon and GOP are pressuring Alito and Thomas to retire so felon can appoint two more justices. For a convicted felon to have that power is outrageous. It won't be a 6-3 conservative majority. It will be a 5-4 felon majority. While felon backed GOP won many primaries, in their early celebration they forget turnout was low, and an increasing majority of people are set to stop the felon with this election. You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony

He ran for President in '20, I think. Posted by Trudy on May 7, 2026, 11:30 pm, in reply to "Not familiar with him" Valued Poster I remember him from the debates. Some people were against him because he's an energy (I think) billionaire. I liked him until he said something that struck me as way out of left field. I wish my memory was more reliable. I used to have a great memory. No more letting the DNC choose our candidates for public office. They're not good at it.

"Billionaires" never have to worry about what food they buy at the store Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 on May 8, 2026, 10:36 am, in reply to "He ran for President in '20, I think. " ADMIN Or how to cut back on food because utilities are too expensive. When they talk about that, it's clear they're clueless. They're not looking to serve us or anyone. They're in pursuit of power and have the financial means. I paused to think about the felon in the White House. He fvcks women and then fvcks them over. He fvcks over anyone who gets in his way, or who says something unflattering about him. His obsession with stamping his name on buildings, roads, airports... is the same drive he pursued his entire life to fvck as many women as possible, leaving his "mark" on them. The evangelical base who adores this monster are utterly and wholly severed from any and all Christian values. Because the felon is a living lie, they make their religion one too. You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony

Good one! Posted by Skye on May 6, 2026, 11:01 pm, in reply to "Not familiar with him" Valued Poster I would think by now that most people would know or at least suspect that an endorsement from the liar in chief is really a kiss of death. Surely they can read the signs and the polls. But they keep trying to sell the lies, even while people's pocketbooks do not lie. They will try to corrupt or stop the elections. Still, their tactics may well backfire. I suspect people will come out in droves to vote in November, and it won't be good for the 'home' team.

Gotta watch for the assault on mail in ballots Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 on May 7, 2026, 1:08 pm, in reply to "Good one!" ADMIN Felon wails against it, even though he allegedly used it. I write allegedly because as a convicted felon, convicted of fraud, he is ineligible to vote in Fla, DC or New York. Would he lie? Is he fat? Arrogant? Pompous? Mail in ballots were conceived for military ability to vote in their hometown election regardless of where they're deployed. Felon doesn't give a flying tvrd about the military, or any hardships he puts on ordinary, struggling working people. Maybe by sending in a mailed ballot, he either lied, or did it and knows he cheated and is projecting... and thinks because he assumes he got away with it, that's proof of cheating. If he's ineligible, it wasn't counted. It was rejected. The felon MAGA GOP is power mad and as corrupt as their cult leader. You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony

That worries me. He isn't going to give up without doing every dirty thing he can imagine Posted by Trudy on May 7, 2026, 8:54 pm, in reply to "Gotta watch for the assault on mail in ballots" Valued Poster He can either accept an imminent prison term or keep the job and keep grifting. No more letting the DNC choose our candidates for public office. They're not good at it.
