Stuck in ’90s and doomed to lose
“There is something that I want to get off my chest, and it is vitally important that we understand this: Bernie Sanders would have won. We Democrats need to have a long conservation with ourselves about the direction of our party.”
The race’s true progressive
Rinaldo writes on wealth inequality.
” I am running for state senator as a Bernie Sanders progressive. Whenever you hear Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren or I speak at length, our speeches invariably start on the subject of wealth disparity. It is the first issue on Sanders’ website. By contrast, I have never heard my two Democratic opponents use the term ‘wealth disparity,’ ‘wealth inequality,’ or otherwise significantly address the topic.”

Rinaldo Del Gallo writes about Stephen Batchelor, an author that visited the Pittsfield Unitarian Church. Batchelor is a “secular Buddhist” meaning that he practices the Buddhist path but is agnostic about the nature of the after-life experience.
