The coalition for Kamala Harris continues to grow. This week’s endorsement by Liz Cheney is the latest expression of this expanding coalition. One has to hope that this process continues in the remaining weeks ahead. Meanwhile the Harris coalition gains in depth, thanks in no small measure to tens of thousands of volunteers doing the work of door knocking, phone calling, and mailing. Not glamorous by any means, but a core feature of a winning campaign. Each of us has a role! I will be doing my small part today.

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.
