Podcast appearances and mentions of candi cdebaca

RIP to Candi CdeBaca's run in Denver In Decay's "Fine District Nine." Congrats to Mayor-elect Mike Johnston. Then - recovery wishes to a DPD officer shot multiple times early this morning near 25/Speer. Why did the DPD Chief use the word he did to describe the bad guy? More on a Common Sense Institute report on officers/crime. Did ya hear the one about a "citizen-initiated Denver ordinance" that could appear next year on the ballot? It would ban "any facility where livestock are killed." State Rep. Richard Holtorf joins us and thinks the idea is ludicrous. A can't miss interview!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let's get into it:  COLORADO NEWSLINE: Denver mayoral candidates Mike Johnston and Kelly Brough sprint to the finish lineBY: CHASE WOODRUFF - MAY 30, 2023 4:00 AM       Left: Denver mayor candidate Kelly Brough receives the endorsement of the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance at an event on May 12, 2023. Right: Brough's runoff opponent, former state Sen. Mike Johnston, receives the endorsement of progressive former mayoral candidates and Democratic state lawmakers in Civic Center Park on May 10, 2023. (Chase Woodruff/Colorado Newsline)A half-million dollar contribution from former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg was part of a flood of large donations that has helped former state Sen. Mike Johnston open up a 2-to-1 fundraising lead over opponent Kelly Brough as the Denver mayor's race enters its final week.Advancing Denver, an independent expenditure committee supporting Johnston's run, raised more than $4 million through May 22.  The pro-Johnston super PAC has relied on many of the same out-of-state billionaire donors who boosted Johnston's gubernatorial bid in 2018, including Bloomberg, LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman and hedge fund managers Steve Mandel and John Arnold. Kent Thiry, the former CEO of Denver-based dialysis giant DaVita, is the group's largest local donor, while venture capitalist Art Reimers and private equity CEO Eric Resnick have also chipped in with six-figure contributions.About three-quarters of Advancing Denver's haul has been spent on TV advertising in support of Johnston, with the remainder spent on digital ads and mail.Johnston and Brough had raised roughly equal amounts in direct contributions through the end of April, reporting total receipts of $932,060 and $895,612, for their campaign committees, respectively.  A Better Denver, the independent expenditure committee supporting Brough, has struggled to raise large sums since the April 4 first-round election, adding just $211,650 to the $1 million it had previously raised in February and March.To date, the group's top donor during the runoff is Pete Coors, former Republican nominee for U.S. Senate and prolific donor to conservative causes. Coors gave $50,000 to A Better Denver on April 24. Other top donors to the pro-Brough PAC have included real estate interests like the National Association of Realtors, Colorado Construction Industry Coalition and developer Lloyd Fulenwider.The Apartment Association of Metro Denver, a landlord group, has made contributions to both candidates. After giving $25,000 to Brough in February, the group followed up with another $10,000 contribution to Brough in late April, and a $10,000 contribution to Johnston a week later.Ballots for the city's runoff election were mailed earlier this month. Voters can return their ballot to a 24-hour drop box or vote in person until 7 p.m. on June 6.COLORADO SUN:Susana Cordova, former superintendent of Denver schools, will be Colorado's next education commissionerErica Breunlin and Jesse Paul9:13 AM MDT on May 30, 2023Denver Public Schools superintendent Susana Cordova at DPS headquarters on April 3, 2020. (Andy Cross, The Denver Post via The Associated Press)The state's Board of Education on Monday named Susana Cordova as the sole finalist among 23 applicants after a unanimous vote. Her appointment is expected to be formalized when the board next meets.State Board Chairwoman Rebecca McClellan told The Colorado Sun “We really appreciated her sharp focus on results for students and outcomes for students with an eye toward equity,”  “She's not only talked the talk, she's proven that she's capable of achieving gains for students.”Cordova will take over the position from Katy Anthes, who is stepping down from the role in July after serving as commissioner since December 2016.Cordova began her career as a bilingual language arts teacher and has since worked in education for more than 30 years, including as a teacher, principal, district leader and currently as a superintendent in residence for Transcend, a national nonprofit focused on helping schools make classrooms more equitable for all students.Cordova was also previously a deputy superintendent for the Dallas TX Independent School District.Cordova has also taught as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Denver's School of Education and now serves on the university's board of trustees.  Cordova will begin steering the state education department at a particularly consequential time for Colorado schools, as districts continue to help students recover from lost time and learning during the pandemic and as many communities struggle to recruit and retain educators and manage declining student enrollment.Susana Cordova, then superintendent of Denver Public Schools, looks on as students work on laptops in a classroom in Newlon Elementary School early Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2020. The school was one of 55 Discovery Link sites set up by Denver Public Schools where students could participate in remote learning during the pandemic. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski, Special to The Colorado Sun)Cordova will begin her tenure just as a state task force is considering changes to how Colorado evaluates its schools, which could potentially affect how much funding schools receive.Gov. Jared Polis celebrated Cordova's selection in a written statement Tuesday, saying   “Her prior work boosting academic progress and improving access to high-quality education for learners of all backgrounds as superintendent of Denver Public Schools is sure to benefit students across the state as she brings this passion and experience to this new role,” said Polis, a Democrat. “I look forward to working with Susana as a member of my cabinet as we continue to carry forward our bold education priorities.”   COLORADO SUN:Colorado GOP paid no staff in April while fundraising lags under new Chairman Dave WilliamsSandra Fish4:20 AM MDT on May 24, 2023Dave Williams speaks during a Republican state central meeting on March 11, 2023, in Loveland where elections for a chairman, vice chairman and secretary of the Colorado GOP were conducted. (Olivia Sun, The Colorado Sun via Report for America)If the Colorado Republican Party had employees in April, they didn't get paid.  It's the first time in at least 20 years the party didn't pay any employees.And the party's bank accounts have less money than the $120,540 a recent filing said the party had on hand, the GOP acknowledged in an addendum filed Saturday with the Federal Election Commission.  The Colorado GOP raised only about $58,000 in the first four months of the year, including less than $15,000 in April. The party spent more than $15,000 last month, with $9,100 going to health and dental benefits. It's unclear if anyone is working for the party; no staff is listed on its website.The lack of a payroll for a state party in Colorado is unusual.“There have been other cycles where the party pays only one or two salaries in the off year,” said Kristi Burton Brown, who chaired the party during the last election cycle. “If they want to run it all-volunteer, they certainly can.”The party raised only a little more than $18,000 in the first two months of the year, before Williams was elected chairman.  From January through April, Colorado's GOP spent more than $263,000. That compares with $539,000 spent in the first four months of 2021, another nonelection year when five people were paid for their work in April. Of this year's spending, $73,000 went to Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck for legal services.  “Anybody who gets elected state chair should probably prioritize raising money,” said Dick Wadhams, who ran the state party from 2007 to 2011 and has been critical of Williams. “You can't run an operation without money.”The state Democratic Party raised nearly $92,000 in April, and spent nearly $211,000, including about $26,000 on payroll for a half-dozen employees. That left the party with nearly $196,000 in cash at the end of April.The Democratic Party raised more than $419,000 in the first four months of the year, while spending about $454,000. The party's state-level account had nearly $32,000 at the end of March.And the Colorado GOP has trailed Democrats in political spending in the state in recent years.Campaign accounts or PACS for several of the state's top elected Democrats have donated to the federal party account this year including U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper; U.S. Reps. Diana Degette, of Denver, Yadira Caraveo, of Thornton, Jason Crow, of Centennial, and Joe Neguse, of Lafayette; Gov. Jared Polis; Treasurer Dave Young; and others. Hickenlooper also sent two emails recently asking people to donate to the state party.The Colorado GOP received $12,500 from the terminated 8th Congressional District campaign of state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, of Brighton, in early March. It's the only money the party has received from Republican officeholders or candidates this year.Tagged:Colorado Democratic Party, Colorado Republican Party, Dave WilliamsABC NEWS:Arizona set for unpredictable Senate raceByTal AxelrodMay 23, 2023, 3:06 AM Democrats and Republicans can at least agree on one thing: They have no idea what's going to happen in next year's Arizona Senate race.The election is shaping up to be an unpredictable three-way contest in one of the nation's premier battlegrounds featuring an incumbent who left her party (Sen. Kyrsten Sinema), a polarizing conservative who remains a rock star with her base (Kari Lake), and a Democratic nominee-in-waiting who would represent a shift to the left for the historically moderate-minded state (Rep. Ruben Gallego).Sen. Sinema first set the stage when she switched from being a Democrat to an independent late last year. While she called that choice a "reflection of who [she's] always been," the switch also prevented a primary fight with Arizona Rep. Ruben Gallego -- and paved the way for something more unusual.State data shows just under 35% of Arizona voters are registered Republicans and 30% are registered Democrats, while 35% aren't registered with either party.If Sinema retires, the race to succeed her could feature Gallego, a Marine Corps vet and former House colleague of Sinema's who has become vocally critical of her, and Republican Kari Lake, a former TV anchor, election denier and 2022 Arizona gubernatorial candidate.Both Gallego and Lake are more associated with their parties' ideological flanks than the centrists who have historically won statewide.state GOP strategist Lorna Romero said "It's gonna be like nothing we've ever seen before in Arizona. I think what's going to make it nasty is obviously Ruben and Kyrsten don't get along personally. And depending on who the Republican is, if you get a firebrand like a Kari Lake again, we've seen how she's operated before, that's going to take it to another level."Nineteen operatives from both parties who spoke with ABC News for this story mostly thought that Sinema would run again, pointing to her ongoing fundraising and continued involvement in high-profile legislative pushes like on immigration.Senator Kyrsten Sinema questions witnesses during a Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee hearing in the wake of recent of bank failures, on Capitol Hill, May 18, 2023. Evelyn Hockstein/ReutersSinema, who previously served in the House for three terms, quickly thrust herself into the heart of several of the chamber's most significant and successful legislative efforts, including on infrastructure, same-sex marriage, guns and more.Her style of legislating has generated mixed reviews, with supporters pointing to her scorecard and liberal detractors saying she has been overly eager to water down Democratic priorities, including raising the minimum wage, supporting prescription drug pricing reform and scrapping the Senate filibuster as a way to codify abortion rights.Cesar Chavez, a former Democratic state lawmaker said "Overall, I think the state of Arizona is content with the work that Sen. Sinema done. The issues that Sen. Sinema has advocated for will definitely result in a positive tick in her numbers."Steve Slugocki, a senior adviser to Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a former chair of the Maricopa County Democratic Party had the opposite view. He said, "I cannot stress enough how deeply unpopular she is. I traveled the state everywhere last year. The first question was always, 'What are we going to do about Sinema? How can we replace her?'"Sen. Kyrsten Sinema arrives at the Capitol, May 9, 2023. Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairman Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego speaks at a CHC event. Getty ImagesAll of this will play out in the larger context of the battle for the Senate, with the Democratic caucus holding a slim 51-49 majority, but defending 23 seats in 2024, making operatives eager to avoid a spoiler candidate, but without any agreement on who that would be.A former aide to Sen. Sinema said "She has shown she knows what it takes to win in Arizona. I look at these other candidates, and I do not see proven winners. "So yeah, as a Democrat, I'm nervous because I want to keep Kari Lake out of the Senate.""If she's in the race as an independent, Ruben's already at a disadvantage as a Democrat just because of the lower registration numbers that we have," said one former state lawmaker who is supporting Gallego. "So, it comes down to how many votes is Sen. Sinema going to take? Even if it is a very small percentage, any small percentage at all could tip this."To be sure, Democrats aren't the only ones wringing their hands.Republican strategists told ABC News that a three-way race with a Democrat and an independent with a Democratic background would normally be a boon to the GOP candidate. But failed 2022 candidate Kari Lake is looming in the wings and is coming off a narrow loss to Democrat Katie Hobbs, which many observers attributed to her embrace of baseless claims of 2020 election fraud.A source familiar with Lake's thinking told ABC News they're confident she'll run for the Senate, likely launching a campaign in the fall. This person also confirmed that Lake recently met with several senators, including National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Steve Daines of Montana, and that with her broad name recognition and support from conservative voters, she would enter the race as the overwhelming primary favorite.GOP strategist Lorna Romero said "[T]he Sinema breakup from the Democratic Party looks good for Republicans on paper, theoretically. But I think that the big heartburn is what's going to happen out of a Republican primary, and are we just going to do the same ridiculous mistakes over and over again, and Democrats are just going to continue to win in the state,"Still, virtually every person who spoke to ABC News added the caveat that their analyses could end up being off given the unpredictable nature of a potential race with the incumbent running as the third-party candidate."We've never seen anything like that in Arizona," one Democratic strategist said. "I just think trying to predict anything right now, you might as well shake a Magic 8 Ball and see what it tells you." CONCERT PICK OF THE WEEK: Sir Richard Starkey MBE, otherwise known as Ringo Starr!!

DARREL WATSON IS TRYING TO UNSEAT CANDE CDEBACA And she is literally THE WORST person on Denver's City Council so I'm interested to talk to Darrel about what he brings to the table. Find more about Darrell here.

The Mao and Alinsky inspired activists are getting what the Devil wants them to get: neighbors hating neighbors. Once again, it's a made-up condition called race and, if you care about justice and watch the news, it's hard not to give the Devil something else he wants: our anger. Today, I hope to practice the skill of going through news would make any thinking person angry while taking angry thoughts captives to Christ. Sadly, it's a good time to practice this skill. While the anti-white Mockingbird Media works with the Maoists to pretend a man was murdered in a New York Subway train for being hungry, they largely ignore the case of a black man who decided to shoot and kill two white people because, he said, they were white.The separate Country of California has determined how much money people who never held slaves will give people who never were slaves but, they have added some bonus payments . . . people who never discriminated on housing loans or unjustly put people in prison will give money to people who--maybe--experienced such discrimination. Maybe it's just me, but I cannot read news like this and remain in the Holy Spirit unless I am intentional about it, which is what I hope to practice in this Episode. What does God's Word say? 2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.Proverbs 22:2 The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the Maker of them all.James 2:1-4 My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,” have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?Matthew 5:43-48 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? ...2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.Episode 815 Links - Man Charged With Hate Crime After Allegedly Shooting Two Strangers Execution Style Because They Were WhiteLanguage Warning: An upset black man riding the NYC subway clashes with protesters for interrupting his ride - he's shoved back by the group and police.Leftist rioters in NYC created a hostage situation, blocking train doors to prevent the Metro subway from running in an act of support for Jordan NeelyAnti-Trump Organization prosecutor heading investigation into Jordan Neely's killingCalifornia Panel Calls for Billions in Reparations for Black Residents; A task force recommended that legislators enact a sweeping program to compensate for the economic harm from racism in the state's history.Denver City Council member Candi CdeBaca, who is running for re-election, says white owned businesses should be taxed extra and redistributed to black owned businesses.Democratic Socialist of America Councilmember Tammy Morales introduced the board that will be overseeing Seattle's Social Housing program, made up of people who are/were homeless, socialists & others who have presided over the city's "homeless" disaster.

At the 11th hour of the legislative session, Governor Jared Polis and Democrats in the Colorado General Assembly are attempting to get a ballot measure approved for November to use TABOR refunds as stopgap relief for soaring property taxes. Ben Murrey, fiscal policy director for the Independence Institute joins Dan to tell voters not to buy this sleight of hand and vote down Proposition HH this fall, even if it means short-term pain for property owners - TABOR must be preserved at all costs. Also, Denver City Council resident communist Candi Cdebaca wants white-owned businesses to pick up the tax burden for black-and-brown-owned businesses with a wealth redistribution scheme.

During a public forum, Denver City Council District 9 representative Candi CdeBaca proposed collecting "extra taxes from white-led businesses all over the city and redistributing them to Black- and brown-owned businesses" as a form of reparations — prompting waves of threatening messages from white nationalists and CdeBaca haters, according to sources close to the councilwoman.

We begin with Denver In Decay election results. No surprise: a runoff between Mike Johnston and Kelly Brough to become the next Denver mayor. Steffan goes over results that leave Candi CdeBaca (?) but definitely Lisa Calderon out of the political fun. Then - Army veterans Brian Johnson and Watik Aleem join us from www.warriornow.org to preview this Saturday's "End Veteran Suicide" Gala at Wing Over The Rockies. se promo code TUBBS for discounted tickets.

It's Friday and we're digging deep into all the local stories that mattered this week. First, the mayor's race isn't the only big decision facing Denver voters this April. We'll be picking new City Council members too, and those races are starting to take shape — and in one case, getting pretty nasty. With host Bree Davies out of town, producers Erin O'Toole and Paul Karolyi are talking politics and swapping Valentine's Day recs with CPR senior host and hopeless romantic Nathan Heffel.  We talked about the anonymous mailers attacking D9 councilwoman Candi CdeBaca, the big names in the at-large race, and the swingers club in Centennial.  Our picks for your Valentine's Day: Donate blood Valentine's Day Heart-Shaped Pizza Class at Joy Hill B&GC Speakeasy The Cooper Lounge at Union Station And, the weekend events Adrian brought for our consideration: “Titanic” 25th Anniversary Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo at History Colorado Monster Jam Superb Owl All-You-Can-Eat Buffet City Cast Denver is hiring!

Democracy for POC is a limited series podcast brought to you by El Semanario. This is Episode 4, “Liberty and Justice for All?” with guest and Denver city councilor Candi CdeBaca. In this episode, Lori Lizarraga and CdeBaca discuss what it means to build political representation for marginalized communities by building political power. Because if liberty and justice for all requires representation, representation requires the power to elect representative candidates. CdeBaca explains. 

Two years ago, thousands of Denverites took to the streets to protest the murder of George Floyd. Many politicians joined the protesters, lending weight to their calls to defund the police and reform our criminal justice system. But at the Denver City Council meeting this past Monday night, when a five-year, $4.7-million contract with a controversial gunshot detection technology went up for a vote, only one councilperson stood against it. Councilperson Candi CdeBaca joins host Bree Davies to explain why she opposes Denver police's use of ShotSpotter and why we've seen so little movement on criminal justice reform since the protests.  For more on ShotSpotter, check out our episode from last September when Bree interviewed Axios Denver reporter Alayna Alvarez about the technology and the controversy surrounding it: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5xiPsLlR1vg2lhNhTFUXBn Every Friday, Peyton puts together a carefully curated list of things to do, read, watch, see, and eat in Denver over the weekend.

The final episode features co-hosts Hannah Perez-Postman and Adam Brock and their guest speakers, Candi Cdebaca and Yoshi Silverstein. They discuss environmental justice and how to create equal access and rights to a healthy environment, including land, water, air, and food through the lens of Shmita. You will also hear what brought them to their work as activists and what we all can do to contribute to and organize for a more just society for everyone. Candi Cdebaca- Member of the Denver City Council, 9th District. CdeBaca is a proud fifth-generation native of northeast Denver, Colorado, and a graduate of Manual High School and the University of Denver. Raised by a single mother and grandparents, Candi understands the importance of tight-knit communities and stepping up for neighbors in need. Candi is also the first LGBTQ Latina and first Democratic Socialist to serve on Denver City Council. She is a fierce advocate for justice and against the criminalization of poverty, environmental racism, and the displacement of Denver's black and brown communities. Yoshi Silverstein- Founder and Executive Director, Mitsui Collective. Yoshi is a Chinese-Ashkenazi-American Jew and an educator, coach, speaker, husband, and father. Yoshi was Director of the JOFEE Fellowship at Hazon from its launch through its first four cohorts, catalyzing the growth and leadership of over 60 emerging professionals working across the US and Canada in the realm of Jewish relationship to land, food, culture, climate, and community. He holds over two decades of experience in both Jewish and secular outdoor, food, farming, and environmental education.

When Councilperson Candi CdeBaca learned that Denverites were being evicted from their homes last year despite the federal eviction moratorium, she knew something had to change. The progressive young politician partnered up with Councilperson Amanda Sawyer on a new measure to help renters, and it passed unanimously on Monday night. City Cast Denver producer Paul Karolyi sits down with Candi to talk through some of the challenges she faces passing measures like this one and how she believes the new policy is going to help everyone in Denver — not just renters. Plus, Paul gets Candi on the record on some recent issues we've featured on the show, including the Park Hill Golf Course, the Reimagine Police and Public Safety Task Force recommendations, and which playoff run she's been rooting for harder: Nuggets or Avs. If you live in Candi's District 9 (Five Points, downtown, etc.), we recommend signing up for her newsletter.

President Trump's Wheelhouse. Open Borders Democrats Politically Vulnerable on Coronavirus. Biden & Sanders opposed President Trump's early, aggressive, life-saving China travel ban. Biden called it "hysterical xenophobia." Pelosi & Schiff focused exclusively on their Impeachment Hoax, then adjourned Congress during two crucial weeks of virus escalation in February. Flat-footed all the way, then showed up late to complain. Also, Democrat Globalists have long favored relying on Chinese manufacturing for American steel and pharmaceuticals -- not good policy for American national security. Thus, President Trump much better positioned on the increasingly obvious fundamentals with borders, trade and China. Even though MSM will attempt to inflict maximum political damage on Trump, as aptly described by Trish Regan of Fox Business, the Dems are trapped on the wrong side of history. Meanwhile, our notes on the perils of re-usable grocery bags. Hoarding behavior and human nature. Watch and Learn. FACT: CDC & NIH funding have only GONE UP under President Trump.

A Vegan Runner is offended their neighbors are grilling meat outside. Why people shouldn’t comply with every intersectionality rules. Jimmy Kimmel makes fun of Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg has poor hygiene habits. Republicans want Denver councilwoman, Candi CdeBaca, fired after stupid tweet about spreading coronavirus to Trump supporters. Bernie Sanders wins the primary in Colorado. Bloomberg drops out and plans to support Joe Biden. Politics is all retail – connecting with the voter. Joe Biden mixes up his wife and sister and blames them.

Peter and Tom discuss why only one news outlet is still talking about the Candi CdeBaca tweet about infecting Trump supporters with Corona virus.  They also discuss if Bernie will drop out if Biden is leading going into the convention and if Warren is playing spoiler for Bernie in the primary racesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a particularly malicious Tweet, a member of Denver’s City Council showed her approval for a plan to use biological warfare against supporters of President Donald J. Trump. Candi CdeBaca, a member of Denver’s City Council from District 9, enthusiastically supported another Twitter user who posted a grim warning on the microblogging site several days ago. CdeBaca, a democratic socialist and supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), describes herself in her Twitter biography as a “Social Worker, Community Organizer, sCHOLAr and Chingona.” Chingona is a Spanish slang word which roughly translates to “bad ass woman.” The Tweet is still live on the Councilwoman’s account at the time of this writing.

Clarification on some things we discussed yesterday. Candi CdeBaca claims to be Democratic Socialist, but the ideology she says she wants to "usher in by any means necessary" is Communism. Let's not overcomplicate things. Messaging of Radical Left is designed to make Americans choose their anti-Consitutional ideology - sometimes unwittingly. Trump officially kicks off his 2020 campaign. The politics of 2020. Identity politics. Two old white guys and someone pretending to be a minority. Freebies. Sophistry. Messaging designed to make the election about anything besides what it's actually about: the Constitution and free markets versus Socialism and Big Government. Biden calling for "physical revolution" and using "brass knuckles." And Trump is the authoritarian Fascist, right? Some non-profits blaming Trump's tax cut law as reason individuals are giving less. But this is the real thret to giving.
