  1. Dore 2024! Yes, I know, it’s always premature to discuss the next presidential contest. But I’ll make my pick for 2024 known now: Jimmy Dore. For those who dismiss a comedian running for the highest office, I say, why not? Dick Gregory ran for president in 1968 as a write-in candidate for the Freedom and Peace Party. The comedian and civil rights activist used his run to energize the anti-war movement, draw attention to the needs of the working class and the harassment many people of color still faced following the passage of numerous civil rights bills. Gregory, although he only accumulated close to 50,000 votes, frightened the Nixon administration with his campaign. Personnel in the Nixon White House feared Gregory may become the “black messiah” J. Edgar Hoover long warned about. Shortly after that warning, leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Fred Hampton were gunned down. Fearful of his profile and his building of a true rainbow coalition, Gregory was placed on Nixon’s dreaded enemies list. I sincerely believe a Dore presidential campaign could have the same effect. It could empower various social movements and make the oligarchs and their two corporate/puppet parties quake in their boots. Dore could start the race with genuine grassroots support and funding from the people. Dore has expressed both interest and some hesitancy. But if history is any guide, I say he shouldn’t be worried. Run, Jimmy! Scare the oligarchs and empower the people! Dore 2024!
