One more thing…

Make an extra set of keys before you move in.

Sanders is almost 90. You cant count on him to survive his term, much less create a new Party.

No 3rd party has won the Presidency in modern times.

If you want to see change, look at what’s actually worked in the past.

Back in the day, a guy named Jerry Falwell made himself a power in the GOP by a simple trick.

Both Parties, Dems and GOP have local clubs that make the small scale choices that keep things moving. They pick the county clerks and sheriffs. If the local GOP club had had twenty people at the meeting that chose the country clerk, Falwell’s folks would show up with fifty.

After a while, those county clerks were becoming Congresspeople.

Liquor stores have the best boxes and the clerks hate having to break them down. Go to the local liquor store and ask them for boxes. You’ll get all you need.

Another good trick. Instead of packing delicates like plates with paper, use clean clothes. T-shirts will keep things from breaking and you cut down on the number of boxes.

The Left keeps not voting in hopes the Dems will come to them.

It’s not going to work next time either.

I’m sure that the same people who couldn’t deliver Bernie Sanders an overwhelming win in 2020 can suddenly become savvy pols who can just put together a national third party.

If you want action, do what AOC and the others in her squad did. Work inside the Dem party.

Take a lesson from the right. Back in the 1970s Jerry Falwell decided to take control of the GOP. He did it from the ground up. If the local GOP club had had twenty people show up to the last meeting to pick the next county clerk, Falwell’s people would show up with fifty people. Soon those county clerks and sheriffs were becoming Congresspeople and Senators.

Politics is a game and the left sucks at playing it.

The stupidest thing is that he could have quietly blackmailed the Saudis out of $50 billion on Inauguration Day 2017.

Sounds like the start of a Tony Hillerman [author] Joe Leaphorn mystery. Someone finds a body that looks like it’s a Native American ritual burial, but it’s not…

[see TV show ‘Dark Winds’]

There’s an urban legend in New York City.

One day, a patrol car in the Bronx finds a headless body laying in the street. The victim’s hands, feet, and skin was removed. There’s a massive response to find the deranged killer. Everything gets called off in a few hours, after the coroner realizes that it’s the body of a gorilla.

There was a hot dog factory in the area.

When you see those Veterans’ Day parades and a tiny number of WW2 and Korea vets marching…

The good old days, right?

I like the Libertarian classic novel “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.”

On the other hand, I can spned three hours pointing out all the ways the author had to massage reality to make his society work.

How about we drop all the distinctions and just say “good for regular people”?

You can’t copywrite a “Hannibal” action figure.

Reminds me of an off topic story.

“Fables” was a comic book whose main idea was that the characters from all the fairy tales were living in one neighborhood in Manhattan.

The TV networks like the idea, so they stole it. Twice.

I read a collection of comics from the 1950s. There were stories about Hannibal, Julius Ceasar, Emperor Claudius, and other historical figures. The issue with Civil War stories covered topics like the Emancipation Proclamation. Today we don’t put anything in kids’ media that can’t be sold.

EC titles like ‘Valor,’ and ‘Frontline Combat.’

My personal theory is that the GOP will do a hostile takeover of the Libertarians if the ever become too unpopular.

Also, they don’t drain off support, because the Libertarians almost always vote R when it counts. You notice that Green Party Jill was active this cycle and you didn’t hear about the Libertarians once.

Seeing as how it would take at least a billion dollars to even get such a party off the ground, you can be assured that the mainstream media would treat it with respect.

I think that the only reason the Greens and the Libertarians managed to get national status was that the GOP wanted to have someone to drain off D support.

Marx never wrote about lunch, so we shouldn’t eat anything!

Ever seen ‘The Addams Family’ movie? Remember the scene where the villainess says she killed her parents because they got her the wrong Barbie doll for Christmas?

The funny thing is that people vote for the GOP to save the economy but they are the ones who have ruined the economy on a regular basis/
