Our condolences to @ericswalwell, @SenGillibrand, @sethmoulton, and @amyklobuchar (all fake progressives and stooges for corporate power) for polling below us in the new Harvard/Harris poll. There's always next time!
U.S. out of Afghanistan.
U.S. out of Iraq.
U.S. out of Berlin.
U.S. out of Okinawa.
U.S. out of Niger.
U.S. out of Syria.
U.S. out of Cameroon.
U.S. out of South Korea.
This list isn't close to complete. Get Mike in the debates. Get the U.S. out.
Joe Biden voted to send your kids to Iraq and Afghanistan, to let the big banks grow bigger, to let the credit card companies squeeze you, to ship your job overseas. What makes you think he's in your corner now?
Mike Gravel: "It hurts to be part of the leadership of a nation and a citizen of a nation that is killing innocent human beings. That hurts so much we should all cry over it."
Joe Biden: "I voted to go into Iraq, and I’d vote to do it again."
Do you live in Queens? Register to vote - today's the last day you can register and vote for @CabanForQueens in the June 25 primary!
And, if you're going to the CA Dem convention this weekend, be sure to support @realkimberlye for party chair!
Ours is a country led by hollow men like Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg, "leaders" who think of nothing but their own egos, who will do nothing as we're drowned by floods, starved by drought, choked by poisoned air. That is the way the world ends.
Tom Arnold's pitching in to help the #Gravelanche—have you done your part?

Jacobin Magazine has an excellent, comprehensive piece on Mike's political history. From highs to lows, this piece is an exhaustive look at his time in the Senate: the courageous stands he took and the compromises he made. And the conclusion is clear: help get Mike on the stage.
We're proud to be endorsed by the inimitable Mick Wallace, Teachta Dála for Wexford and (most likely) an MEP-elect for Ireland South. Mick is a proud fighter against imperialism and for progressive causes, and we're honored to have his support.
Dick Cheney should spend the rest of his life in prison.
The strategy of those who own the world and want to keep it is simple, captured well in a memo on Cuba written by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs in 1960:
1) Starve them out.
2) Feign concern.
3) Make war.
4) Make MONEY.

The embargo against Cuba has always had one goal: to cripple vital sectors of its economy and then step back to claim their system cannot work.
It's an ideological project, the consequences for ordinary people, Cuban and American, be damned.
Russian internet trolls aren’t the reason we have a racist authoritarian as president. Blaming other countries for our own diseased national consciousness is straight from our foreign policy playbook—a posture that has materialized into drone strikes, sanctions, and invasions.
When was the last time nominating a boring establishment candidate with no enthusiastic support, a huge amount of baggage, and several past scandals backfired for the Democratic Party?

So much of the reason people like Joe Biden is because he "acts like a normal president." What have normal presidents given us? A country in such turmoil that nearly half of voters supported Donald Trump. It's insane to try the same thing and expect better results.
Not only is Joe Biden's creepiness around young girls not something to be dismissed lightly, his refusal to fully apologize and change his ways is indicative of how little he cares about sexual assault. We deserve a meaningful improvement over Donald Trump: Joe ain't it.
Mike is proud to join other Democratic presidential candidates in signing the @commondefense pledge to #EndForeverWar. We've lost trillions of dollars and countless lives fighting against imagined enemies abroad. These wars have only made our lives less free and more dangerous.
