You are both favorites of mine. Matthew ALWAYS has a comment to the bloviating of David Brooks. Keep up the good work. It is wonderfully convincing, sad and so appropriate.Ste-vonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-22803783810448994082016-08-21T09:30:54.831-04:002016-08-21T09:30:54.831-04:00Great comment in the NYTGreat comment in the NYTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-72107773858751555862016-08-20T20:34:34.561-04:002016-08-20T20:34:34.561-04:00IOKIYAD - It's Okay If You're A Democrat. ...IOKIYAD - It's Okay If You're A Democrat.

Other numbers now have my attention.<br /><br />In the CNN program linked here, another, larger percentage was mentioned concerning the next big step in making it possible for more Americans to hear the Green message. It came out that, under current management rules for presidential debates, 15% of the vote is needed for a party representative to stand behind a podium. That's provided the wily agents of the Duopoly who now control the debates don't move the goal posts after the Greens get 15% of the vote.<br /><br />Another number. Jill Stein, in answering a question about the likelihood of a third party being anything other than a wasted vote or a spoiler, brought up another interesting figure: the number of young people carrying student debt, which happens to be around 43 million former students. Those 43 million have every reason to vote Green in November, because the Greens are pledged to erase all student loans, just as the Fed found a way of erasing the entire debt of the big banks. Forty-three million votes for the Greens would put them in the White House. Well, at least it works out that way with paper and pencil. All Stein and Baraka have to do now is reach out to those 43 million student debtors by November 8.Jay–Ottawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360356126450612113noreply@blogger.com
