Let's hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American.

Most often the electorate votes for change.

Hillary Clinton did not represent, on a lot of policy matters, what the American public perceived to be as a change.

At what point do [progressives] take off our partisan blinders and start wondering whether a very powerful faction of Democrats actually continues to SUPPORT President Bush and the War in Iraq?

However, white male privilege means white men are not collectively denigrated/targeted for those shootings - even though most come at the hands of white dudes.

There should be a precedent that says that when government higher-ups are committing crimes that whistle blowers should be able to blow the whistle in a way that exposes the crimes that they’ve committed. Whistle Blowers who expose systemic crimes against the population … deserve to be treated as heroes, not as criminals.

Typically in politics it is easier for the left to mobilize against a Republican president than it is to mobilize against a Democratic president, even in the cases when the Republican president or Democratic president are pushing the same exact thing.

The reality of politics is, if Trump is the president tonight, every progressive group in America will be able to mobilize in a way tomorrow that they may not necessarily have been able to mobilize yesterday.

In America, we are living in a country where the deep economic problems have not been solved and arguably, in many cases, haven't been addressed.
