Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 12/30/2019 - 11:27amThis new poll is bad news for Biden and the Democratic establishment, and good news for Bernie and all insurgent candidates.

I'm sure if any of you have participated in campaigns other than comments on the net you've met paid Field Organisers before. Obama had a gazillion of them here in 08, Bennett had quite a few in 10, and Obama to a lesser extent in 12 as our state was a more sure bet. They are always in the offices, organize group canvasses, generate lists for people and maps, do trainings, etc.
As we all know, polls take sampling averages from historic trends.
For instance, old white people vote. Young brown people generally don't vote. That's just the way it is.
But what if that trend suddenly changes?
It's not a surprise when a democratic socialist wins an election in San Francisco, but what about Bozeman, Montana?

Today I’m going to take a stab at a topic I’ve been avoiding. It’s a topic that provides (I hope) the context within which my political choices make sense.
Let’s talk about climate change.
Primary Concerns
Democratic politicians and other grifters have looked into the future (by means of a technology yet unrevealed) and discovered that Trump isn't protecting our democracy.
As 'murica's great electoral pageant seems to have started quite early and with intensity this time, it seemed a good time to restate some things about C99 in order to preserve our state of calm and comity.
