(14,733 posts)they want your email address, and people who, for instance, would vote for Sanders, Warren, or Reich aren't interested in getting on the DFA mailing list.

(2,574 posts)Warren's excellent but not running, Bernie's preferable to the rest but not a democrat. Robert Reich would be a good vice president. Where are Sherrod Brown & Al Franken on the list. Franken is possibly America's best liked senator and Brown probably one of the strongest populist. They both won reelection handily against the Koch prop machine.
Also interesting that Cenk recently cited a poll of young people where Al Gore led. That's intriguing.. campaign writes itself: "Think how much better off our country would be today if Gore..."
Before they start polling for president, start with a competent DNC chair - Barney Frank would be great or beg Dean to come back.

(2,574 posts)Of course his record is stellar re:democratic principles. But do you think the DNC et alios would nominate someone who is not a member of their party?

(54,397 posts)I said I know his most famous sibling wasn't on the list because he wasn't interested in running and Judy would have him in chains if he did, but that if he were, he be right up there on my list. I know, I know, Howard won't be running. But I would have him on the list just to remind people how many people still long for the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party.

(2,104 posts)run Bernie because the United States needs you...we need you to save and protect our american values and our quality of life. Hillary will not do this. She is already protecting the 'status quo'.
Please run Senator Sanders
