I started this petition to vent my utter disgust with the Republican witch-hunt against Hillary. I didn't think people would would pay much attention to it, but it has so far attracted over 100 ...

Hillary caught me by surprise with this. Her closing statement capped another stellar debate performance. I just love how quick she is on her feet. Who could have thought of a more timely and rel

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It’s a good time to reflect on civil rights in America and our progress towards that dream of Dr. King where individuals are judged not “by the color of their ski

Bernie Sanders has a powerful message. I am not immune to it as a Hillary supporter. To be honest when I first heard about Sanders running for the presidency, I rolled my eyes and said “pffff who’s go

There is an anti-establishment wave sweeping across the American political landscape. This is undeniable. It has captivated both parties. On the GOP side, the establishment has been nearly decimated.

So much for the meme that her firewall is crumbling. Hillary Clinton has an 18 point lead over Bernie Sanders in a new CNN/ORC Poll conducted in South Carolina. According to CNN, her lead in the

There was something different about Hillary’s speech tonight. It was powerful, it was riveting, it spoke to the nation’s conscience. I am hardly moved to tears by a politician, but Hillary had me

Bernie Sanders is keeping things much closer in Michigan tonight than many of us expected… he might even pull off an upset victory. However as a cold snap in winter doesn't signal that Global Warming isn't real, a Sanders victory in Michigan really d

The Huffington Post:  President Barack Obama is enjoying some of the highest ratings of his second term in office. A new Gallop Poll out on Thursday shows that 50 percent of Americans surveyed approve of the job he's doing in office -- his highest

This is just my personal observation. This is not an attack diary, I hope some people don’t interpret it that way. As a Democrat participating on this Democratic blog called Daily Kos, I’ve seen some things around here this primary season which have 

The voters have spoken loudly tonight. A clear choice for the Democratic Nomination has emerged. This will be an epic election with the fate of America’s future for generations to come resting in the balance. Are you ready to fight with her?

As a black American, I feel compelled to rebut this diary by Crashing Vor. While I believe the diarist is well-intentioned and makes a solid argument, I strongly disagree with his/her thesis that racism doesn’t underpin the unprecedented Republican hate a

Are you fucking kidding me? Are people on Daily Kos  seriously complaining about Republicans and their racist-xenophobic-misogynistic short-fingered-vulgarian Frontrunner been attacked?  This is precisely why I come to this site. As a partisan...

I’m watching Donald Trump give his free ad courtesy of the media victory speech on television. He said something which caught my attention — no not the usual shock value things that routinely spew from his pie hole. He said something fairly politically...

I hope not. I find the prospect of a Clinton-Castro ticket very exciting. I can hardly think of a better dream ticket for Democrats going into November (well perhaps with the exception of Clinton-Warren which is just as exciting). That is why I felt...

I happen to love Debbie and I’m proud to say it. Bernie Sanders is determined to destroy the Democratic Party. She is the only one brave enough to stand up to him. The overwhelmingly majority of Democrats have rejected Bernie and chosen Hillary....

I doubt there is anyone on Daily Kos more partisan than me. I am a hardcore partisan Democrat through and through. I hate Republicans with a passion. I know that’s a strong word to use, but it accurately describes how I feel about them.  I wrote the...

I wanted someone more exciting, but I’ll accept her choice. I hope Kaine doesn’t depress enthusiasm among Sanders supporters too much. I already see them complaining online. We need a landslide victory in November, not just a win.

I don’t think we fully appreciate just how lucky we are to have this man in our party. In terms of political talent, President Obama is like a blue diamond. Democrats were demoralized under George W. Bush. Today we are on top of the world thanks —...

I woke up to an email alert from Hillary’s campaign. I usually ignore these emails because I get bombarded with them on a daily basis and they’re usually soliciting donations. However, I am glad I took the time to read this one. It certainly made my...

I just submitted this question (as stated in the headline) to the Debate Commission for consideration in the upcoming town-hall style debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. I am sick and tired of the blatant attempt by Republicans to...

Did anyone else hear that? I'm a guy but it hits me personally. I can only imagine how a woman feels to hear those words uttered live on national television towards someone who is on the brink of breaking the ultimate glass ceiling. 

I posted this over on my Facebook page and I'd like to share it here: After mourning Trump's victory, I took the opportunity to think things through and I suddenly saw a big silver lining for Democrats. Politics is like a game of chess. Trump's...

This makes me want to pull every last strand of hair out of my head. If there was ever a case of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory this has to be up there:  On election eve, I was watching Telemundo (I don't speak Spanish, but I was browsing...

It appears that Robert Mugabe has been removed from power in an apparent military coup d'état in Zimbabwe. One of the world's longest serving dictators, Robert Mugabe has ruthlessly ruled Zimbabwe for the last 40 years. Heralded as a hero for...

Just posted this rant on my Facebook. Thought I’d share it here:  Republicans must think all Americans are stupid. I am not moved by $1000 bonuses from corporate America or any short-term savings I’ll get from this tax reform. Yes it will be...

Hello everyone, it’s been months since I last posted a diary (or comment for that matter) on here, but it doesn’t mean I have given up the fight. I am as passionate about politics as I ever was (in fact, I check this site quite regularly for the latest...

There are more Democrats than Republicans in America, but Republicans control all branches of government today primarily because of these two reasons: 1. Republicans are incredibly adept at cheating — Republicans are ruthless and immoral when it...
