Without much warning we all crossed over into a 2020 version of the Twilight Zone.  Michele Happe has some great tips to share in dealing with being forced into solitary confinement.  It can be done but you have to be willing to accept some changes.  We talk about taking care of some basics and offer a few specifics.  You can find Michele's contact information on her website and find her new podcasts on Anchor.fm here.

Despite the surprising turn of events for Joe Biden, it finally gets us to where we should have been in 2016 and have the conversation that's been sorely missing. 

It's time to dispel with all the fear mongering about democratic socialism and its "capitalism with a conscience" and the false promises from the "capitalism of billionaires" who have convinced folks only they know the answers just because they are rich, and take pride in throwing their money via philanthropy to fix problems they created (and often make more money in the process).

Just keep repeating: Biden backed by 61 billionaires.

No one thought at this point in the 2016 election Trump had a chance. I'm thinking that lack of seriousness may be being repeated by the top contenders trying to outflank each other to the left.  Sure I want all that stuff but VOTING IS A PRACTICAL matter.  Republicans vote with their heads, not their hearts. What will win in 2020 is the right mix of doable healthcare and economic reform that will bring Obama/Trump voters back into the fold and pull more disgruntled Republicans who find Trump's ways as repulsive as we do but just won't admit it in public.

This is a touchy issue sure to rattle diehard Progressives and that's exactly my intention.  If you want to discuss this online go to BlueRootsRadio where you'll find a blog post with the title of this episode.  Would love to hear your thoughts.

As promised Michele Happe dropped by to talk about Nevada's great turn of election events and share her thoughts on the national elections.  I didn't hear it discussed in all the cable news I watched, radio I listened to and print media I read on line, but a major factor in the Nevada results is a result of a mass migration of Californians seeking affordable housing.  We talked about this earlier this year on IMT episodes 59-63 but I didn't expect these kinds of results soon.

Meanwhile our hearts go out to all Californians suffering the worst disaster imaginable.

The further we get away from the election, the better it looks for the Democrats.  We're finally starting to find ways to deal with the constant cluster fuck that is the Trump presidency.  While people argue politely as to whether the Democrats had a blue wave or failed, they are just wasting their time as there is no way to measure what makes a wave blue.  What is obvious is Republicans took a beating in an off year election getting thumped in many places were considered untouchable just a short time ago.  Sound interesting?  Listen to the podcast, I'm not going to type it all out! ;-)
