MAGA is Poison

It’s Labor Day which is generally considered the beginning of the general election campaign in earnest. I decided to start the general election campaign today by making a donation to Kamala Harris. Normally I wouldn’t publish that but I’ve had some other thoughts crystalize recently that I need to share which also lead me to encourage others to donate as well. (I’ve never done that before for […]

Things we should not go back to

Trump has just reminded us again in Arlington National Cemetery of the things we don’t want to go back to. Here’s a list of reminders (some more serious than others):

Interference with the peaceful transition of power

A president who sides with Putin over his own intelligence agencies:

Casting false doubt on our election integrity

“My generals” “my military” and “my judges”

“I like […]

Expanding the tent

I’m excited to see the big tent of a coalition supporting Harris as 200 Republicans from the Bush, McCain, and Romney teams endorsed the Vice President. These people represent what was considered the core of the GOP before Trump came on the scene and they continue to represent the core of any healthy version of the GOP.

Not only do we need people like this on board, we also need to keep […]

What can a nobody do?

Here I am in Utah supporting Kamala Harris and wondering “what can I do?”

I don’t have enough money to make a donation worth anything and being in Utah I’m realistic enough to know that if Harris can win Utah we’re looking at a Bush 1988 race at least (426-111) if not a Reagan 1980 race (489-49) so winning my state is a pipe dream, not my realistic goal.

My conclusion is that I will make […]

The Best of America

I can scratch this off the bingo card of Things I Didn’t Expect to Happen™: Oprah Winfrey articulating why I’m voting for Kamala Harris by talking about the best of America.

Values and character matter most of all, in leadership and in life. …decency and respect are on the ballot in 2024. And just plain common sense.…Let us choose loyalty to the Constitution over loyalty to any […]

Utah Legislature asks, “pretty please?”

After gutting the Better Boundaries initiative and having the Utah Supreme Court tell them that wasn’t okay, the Utah Legislature is now asking voters for permission to gut Better Boundaries or any other initiative.

They can wring their hands and clutch their pearls all day long about the dangers of having “super-laws” but the fact is that citizen initiatives are probably the hardest way to […]

A perfect endorsement

In the presidential election of 2024 there is only one political party and one candidate for the presidency that can claim the mantle of defender and protector of America’s Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law. As a result, I will unhesitatingly vote for the Democratic Party’s candidate for the Presidency of the United States, Vice President of the United States, Kamala […]

Tim Walz: The Internet’s dad du jour

This captures why Tim Walz is an example of the man America needs right now:

The meme-ification of Walz seems rooted in a longing for a type of masculinity that’s going extinct in America: the power of a cheerful, useful, helpful, competent, and moral man. A man who knows how to fix things himself, who can make pleasant conversation with strangers, who is polite and courteous rather than […]

The right tone for Harris Supporters

I’ve been thinking about different ways of campaigning.  I’ve watched 8 presidential campaigns as an eligible voter and until 2016 none of them were dominated by fear and anger. We have learned in the last 8 years that fear, anger, and division are Trump’s natural comfort zones.

With that in mind it has become clear to me that the best path forward for those who don’t want to see another […]
