John Hickenlooper Drops Out

And another one bites the dust!

Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper has dropped out! Also, in a very sly, quiet move, Rep. Tim Ryan also announced the "suspension" of his campaign in the middle of talking about the El Paso and Dayton shootings. 

Keep it going!

Now all we need is Michael Bennett, John Delaney, Corey Booker, Kamala Harris, Bill de Blasio, Pete Booty Judge, Kirsten Jello Brand, Bet on my Stork, Julian Castro and Joe Biden to drop out so we can have a primary with actual progressives battling real progressive ideas that will defeat the Tweeter in Chief. 

Gov. Hickenlooper stated “I did imagine a very different conclusion; I’ve heard from so many Coloradans who want me to run for the United States Senate...I intend to give that some serious thought.”

Don't think, just do. We need democrats in the Senate, and that's what I wish everyone I named in the above paragraph would drop out and run for Senate. Not only would that help accomplish some of the actual goals of the left because then we could actually fight back against the Senate Republicans, but then we have the chance for someone who will actually FIGHT for something. Bernie is going to fight for Medicare 4 All. Tulsi is going to fight to end the wars. Elizabeth Warren is gonna fight to regulate industry. All of them believe in the main progressive issues (Free College, Medicare 4 All, ending the wars, Green New Deal, $15 minimum wage, removing money from politics), however their focus may lie in different areas. That aside, at least we could have a real debate about the priorities of each goal and how we should tackle them. Right now, it's just a competition of who's the most "woke" and who can shit on Joe Biden the worst. Entertaining, but we have real shit to deal with guys. Let's focus our energy on the best 3 or 4 candidates and get it poppin.
