Democrats will go for fucking Mitt Romney if he wears a blue enough tie. The real question is: does the DNC feel like losing the easiest election of our lifetimes, again, again, because they're so captured by corporations that any actually appealing candidates are off the table?

His entire business model hinges on hoovering up public money and then turning around to use some of that money to promote white supremacy which somehow brings in more public money.

Settlers are driving Palestinians from their homes in a violent land grab. Sanctions can stop it. I'm introducing legislation—alongside Reps. Dean, Beyer, Casar, Jacobs, Escobar—that imposes sanctions against anyone looking to take Palestinian land in the West Bank or Gaza.
