The House impeachment of Trump reinforces the perception that Trump is unfit to be president. And in the coming year we will hear more in this regard as investigations into his criminality and corruption see the light of day. If the Democrats had sat on their hands and done nothing in the face of his blatant violations of constitutional norms, it would have weakened the effort of the entire democratic movement to defeat Trump and gang next year. No one likes a wimp.

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.
