I get cross at people who think we don't have good candidates. Well, in a way they are right - we have GREAT candidates.

A country where Al Gore, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton had served as president, without the damages wreaked by Bush and Trump, would be a country we could all rejoice in. On environment and healthcare alone, we'd have moved the needle way ahead.

Had he become President in '04, I think the world would look much different now. Though that could be said about most any election in modern history where the Dem did not take office.

Kochs, Murdoch, Mercers.

I don't know if foreign interests (russian/ukrainian/etc.) were involved in the swift-boat subterfuge but it wouldn't surprise me.

The problem with being an honest star is that all the slime-balls of the universe are gunning for you.

Thank you, Senator Kerry for fighting the good fights!

We all need his realistic optimism right now- the "realistic" part being that he understands the full depth and urgency of our current crisis, while still maintaining the faith that we can get ourselves out of this.

He is a first-class person, and a patriot of the highest order.
Thanks so much for posting this.
