Here's a countdown, #10 to #1, each with a link and date published:

#10: What if Fighting Climate Change Were Easy? (link) (12/16/18)
An example of how our battle may be easier than we think.

#9: The 2020 Dems.: Who Should Drop Out (link) (12/23/18)
I use Rolling Stone's leaderboard to rank the candidates on who should get gone.

#8: Democratic Presidential Candidates, 2020 (link) (7/4/18)
The case for running as a Blue Team.  I later refine this idea by suggesting just three candidate form a pact (link).  I further refine this (see #9, above).

#7: Bailing On Things (link) (10/14/17)
What I've given up recently, or scaled way back on.

#6: Is Nine Supreme Court Justices A Number Set In Stone? (link) (7/21/18)
I suggest a way for the court to be made whole after the arguably stolen seats of recent years.  I then update that idea with Fixing Our Democracy: The Supreme Court (link) (10/1/18)

#5: President Barack Obama: A-, B+ or Lower? (link) (3/12/17)
His accomplishments, and his grade.

#4: Feel Like A Million (link) (1/7/17)
If Trump had been really smart, he could've done this to improve ObamaCare (written before his inauguration).

#3: More Advice For Trump: Afghanistan (link) (5/20/17)
The case for getting out, and instead paying Afghan forces salaries high enough to make joining the taliban the poorer choice (and it would cost us less).

#2: Hiding In Plain Sight (link) (12/16/18)
Populism (FDR's pro-labor, keeping-corporate-greed-in-check, philosophy is making a comeback; Elizabeth Warren being the messenger).

And, the #1 most read post on this website over the past two years is...

#1: The $50 billion Radical Idea That Just Might Work (link) (8/1/18)
This is my answer to the country's three original sins (Native dispossession, Slavery, and unequal representation--in the Senate and Electoral College).

Sure, some readers may have been keyed in by the titles (#10, for example; but then, what about #7?  Perhaps that's because #7 is personal, not political).  Anyway, this countdown simply gives the reader a top-ten for further exploration, should you find the first steps on the hike worth your while.
