Beto O'Rourke just hired a "senior advisor" who used to lobby for Keystone XL, Seaworld and private prisons

An interesting read in the comments here… I’d love to have a real policy powerhouse like Warren at the helm, or actually ANY of these candidates is fine. Actually I’d vote for a paper sack with the letter D written on the side of it, filled w dog poop and set aflame. Would do a much better job than Trumputin. So the bar is pretty low. Biden gets the primary by appealing to rust belt Joe Six-packs? fine, whtvr (sigh) It’d be nice if someone progressive and young latched up w Biden (ol Joe croaks and we got the new hotness ready to roll). Do I like ol Joe? yes and no. We’d have action on climate change and a host of other issues if we keep our sh!t together folks. Let’s shift the Overton Window back towards sanity.

I’d vote for anyone other than the R candidate at this point. any. random. person.

I used to think we lived in the Norquistian timeline (GOP just needs a pen, a hand and a heartbeat… how is that working out for y’all?) now I am certain we are deep within the improbability of the Menken timeline “On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” At this rate, we’ll never reach the stars, we’ll choke in our cradle, we’ll squander what brief bright flame we kindled against the endless night, the eternal silence…
