FFTC: I actually thought Hickenlooper's first name was Howard? Thankfully I googled it to double check before I posted. No idea where I got Howard.

I listened to the Cory Booker PSA yesterday. I don't think he's the one, but I do still really like what he injects into the conversation re: criminal justice. I think he's absolutely right that there's a lot of talk about legalizing marijuana, but not much about overturning drug-related convictions, and expunging the records of those with marijuana convictions. I've also heard him speak, though I don't think it was in this interview, about cutting penalties/ sentences for "violent" offenders, which I think it radical, but also ultimately fair and just. I think his baby bonds idea is interesting too, and maybe a better alternative to something like guaranteed basic income.

I feel a way about the Biden Abrams rumor. I can’t help but feeling a little cynical about it. Like here ladies since I’m immediately going to be the front runner if I enter the race accept my tokenism and get over all the strong female candidates running.
I don’t know. I want it to be genuine and it for sure makes a Biden ticket more palatable for me. But, I’m still not into Joe just because he’s Joe.

Remember when Ted Cruz pre-announced a running mate? It didn't work for him either.

Pete will be on the Van Jones show Saturday night.
I'm sad I missed him on Morning Joe the other day. NEVER MISS A PETE APPEARANCE AGAIN!!! Scheduling Coordinator General Interest Management and Operations Full Time The Pete for America exploratory committee is building our operations team.
The campaign is run by a small, well-organized, and motivated team, backed by volunteers and supporters across the country. We're searching for hard-working and kind people to join us. We are committed to radical transparency and fairness, and are steadfast in our work to share Pete's vision with the country. We don't stand for harassment or discrimination of any kind.
Mayor Pete is a different type of politician, and we are a different kind of team. Our goals require collaboration across all departments and our structure facilitates that.
We are looking for a Scheduling Coordinator to oversee all aspects of candidate and committee scheduling. If you've managed complex schedules, enjoy the mayhem of a day's work, and find solace in a well organized calendar, we want to hear from you!
yes I quoted myself. misspatty, I'm sure theres a job for you! You can use this thread/board to show how you have singlehandedly upped Petes Profile.

I don't want to feel icky about the Biden/Abrams rumor but I do. I feel like it is a bit of pandering to boost approval. "Look at me...I picked a woman of color for my ticket. Ignore that I am an old white dude." I just don't think it works well in the long run.
I love Abrams but I feel like she is being used as a prop almost in this scenario. Why am I so cynical?

I may or may not already be working on an application for one of these. We'll see if I have the guts to send it in, lol Also... Pete sealed the deal by not asking me to upload my resume and then type in all of my education and professional experience. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, it's on the resume I just uploaded!

Connie is kind of soothing me about it, but I’m still feeling cynical. It’s just who I am. Lol.
