A little alternative thinking: If Hillary were in the White House, the fight against the pandemic and the resulting economic crisis would be on a different footing, that is, science driven, nationally coordinated, unifying, and empathetic. And thus saving lives and protecting livelihoods. Long ago, I reached the conclusion that the concept of “the lesser evil” and its traveling companions, “never trust a liberal” and “vote your conscience” was a crock of sh-t. Nothing has changed to alter that conclusion.

I'm a long-time socialist and activist, but new to the blogging world. I hope to bring a different perspective on politics, sports, culture, and Marxism. Besides blogging, I also leave plenty of time for swimming, hiking, ESPN, music, reading, drinking good beer, and, not least, my family and friends. I wish I could play basketball, but my knees ruled out that possibility long ago.
While I currently reside in New York, my politically formative years were spent in Portland, Me. and Detroit during the 1970s and 1980s. I graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia (where I played basketball) and received a MA in economics from the University of Connecticut.
I was the national chairperson of the Communist Party, USA from 2000 until 2014 when I stepped down at the convention. In 2016 I resigned from the Communist Party two years later. We were no longer on the same page.
