Why don't you run for office Tero? What's the worst they could say about you, you're addicted to Amazon?
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

Running the first time is probably the biggest hurdle for any politcian. After winning, it gets easy. You only have to sell your soul.

Given that we don't have one, atheist politicians only have to pretend to sell their soul...

After the event, a screaming, red-faced Biden reportedly continued to share his inspiring vision by informing a group of unwitting Iowans that he could beat their asses with one hand tied behind his back.

We are. It will be one of those awful George W Bush moments when Trump wins over Sanders in a recount. Courts and governors will decide close votes. I have no family members without work or insurance, so we can easily last 4 years under Biden with current health plans. The republican after Biden, even 4 years later, can no longer destroy what healthcare we have.

Survival! We'll eat tomato soup and crackers till we get a Democrat back. Maybe a little fresh celery with that.

Bernie speaks at Ames and Sioux City

The first has a university, the latter has casinos. Both have airports. Ames has no commercial service, only private.

Siiux City had American Eagle flights

Iowa's biggest airport is in fact...Omaha.

Warren is hanging in there but since she is kind of presidential material, she will not be picked for VP. I never really was impressed by any VP. A bunch of losers and a few that were OK but not charismatic.

Biden campaigning in a watering hole in Iowa
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo%2C_Iowa
you go there by tour bus

Pete B is next door in the metropolis of Cedar Rapids, which has some 9 Starbucks stores. Counties that have ZERO Starbucks stores are known to be 80-90% republican. In the middle of the USA here. In California, a Starbucks has much more power, just one store marks a vast Democratic stronghold.

The senators can jet there easily for a weekend, a major airport in Iowa
