For the past several days I’ve been feeling hard pressed to set up a campaign beyond my office. I have my eyes on the Duluth UMD campus and meeting the generation that is set to the be the most screwed over generation ever…..worldwide.
We boomers felt hard pressed with Vietnam and Civil Rights left unresolved but we had it easy with an economy that was humming and living in the most respected Democracy on Earth. Science Fiction offered a few imaginings of bad things to come but nothing like the news headlines today on back pages pushed there by dire news that distracts us from our real problems.
But then I counted the number of days until the August 9th primary. 113 to go. That’s a lot of room to maneuver if I hustle. I’ve never been intimidated by million dollar war chests like the one jellyfish Pete Stauber has gathered together from Koch brother deep state money. Ideas win out over the long term and any campaign like Pete’s built on the 20,000 documented lies of his anchor Donald Trump is immensely vulnerable. Look at Putin.
So I paused as my podcast webpage is getting getting uploaded. My 14 year old Grandson has a podcast so I have got to get in the groove. I have a half dozen tricks of my sleeve and they are all honest…whether they will be successful…..well, that’s another matter.
