In Canadian news...hockey player suspended for calling opponent a "Mennonite"

I thought I'd bring a bit of levity after the past week. My partner's grandparents were Mennonites. Good people. I'm not sure if it is a slur. That said, I am proud (as a Canadian) that we enforce respect - even in hockey!

This forced resignation of Biden angers me

First, vote blue no matter who. That goes without saying.

I am beyond PISSED that we've let the media force our candidate out. I'm upset with the big corporate donors forcing our candidate out. It is disgusting and subverts our democratic process.

I respect Biden's decision, but I can't help but feel it wasn't truly his decision. He was backed into a corner. If he truly felt he couldn't continue for four years, he should have stayed in through the election and, once he won, step down shortly after the inauguration. Just my opinion.

I send my support to Joe and his family. I'm sorry his career ended in a pathetic coup led by corporate interests: the media and big donors.
