Elon Musk is just the latest billionaire to exert tremendous influence over U.S. politics. When he says he supports Neo-Nazis, take him at his word.

Let's hope that they get somebody in charge of the DNC who knows how to fight, like Bernie or FDR did. That's how the party can motivate the Democratic-leaning voters, and seemingly paradoxically, actually win over those right-center voters they covet so much. Honestly, I haven't paid attention to who's in the running, aside from Ben Wikler, and based on what I've seen of his work in Wisconsin, that'd be a disaster.

Eh, that's my pick, he's who I hope wins.

But the worst realistic case is Martin O'Malley. Not great, but still a huge improvement.

No where to go but up, silver lining I guess.
