and then we can all weep together in the movie theaters, reminiscing about what we enduring during this grotesque spectacle.

This is beneath our country.

Hillary Clinton is consistently ruled by pathological hubris and a belief that the rules don't apply to her--not just on the issue of the elections--but many other situations, including her private, homebrew, unsecured email server that the President didn't even know about.

Hillary Clinton lives her life believing that she can do whatever the hell she wants.

"After exhaustive forensic analysis of the monkey shit, splatter patterns, banana peels, and actual sightings of bipedal hominids in the area, we have concluded that Bernie Sanders is a sexist, self loathing antisemite gun lover, who stole his own voting records and sabotage his own constituency because he is a very clever and sneaky Manchurian communist candidate trying to play the victim carrraarr arghgackGACK! ook! OOOOOOoook! Ack! Ack! OOOOOK!

First: This was a purge of Democratic Party voters by a member of the GOP who is on the board of elections.

Second: Scott Stringer is a Delegate for Clinton, a PLEDGED DELEGATE, meaning he's not one of the super delegates that gets to choose who he supports. His choice was made by the voters.

Third: He's not even listed as one of Hillary's endorsements.

Is there any conspiracy theory the Sanders camp won't manufacture?

The candidate of honesty and integrity my ass.

They should have hired a Frank Luntz equivalent. Hell, we have George Lakoff, the master of political language, but nooooo, not the dems. Let the repubs frame every issue & run in fear from the media. They've been doing that for 30+ years.

If liberals consider themselves "too principled to participate" then things will only get worse. Maybe you weren't around for 8 years of Dumbya.

If liberals consider themselves "too principled to participate" then things will only get worse.


We liberals have been voting this shit pile of "free trade for the rich" agreements, bankster deregulation, massive military expansion, massive imprisonment of our citizens, massive loss of jobs, massive tax cuts for the rich, massive abandonment of the poor and massive privatization of everything in sight including our voting systems for several decades now.

Now we're losing our planet. OUR PLANET!

"Things" HAVE GOTTEN "worse." Not "will only get worse" if we stop voting for Republicrats. They ARE worse. They have never been worser. OUR PLANET, Pbass! With social chaos in progress and THAT will only get worse.

So, you think if we vote for more frakking, more oil tankers, more fossil fuel use, more wars (yet more fossil fuel use), more off-shore oil drilling, more dead zones in the oceans, more banksterism, more punishment of the poor majority, more "wars on drugs," more militarization of the police, more edgy little cuts into Social Security, more billionaires buying elections, and all these good things the Republicrats have brought us, things will get better?!

Talk about "ponies and unicorns"!

I'm not saying--and I will NEVER say--don't participate, don't vote (unless it's a massive and organized civil disobedience boycott). I'm saying we've reached the end result of voting for Republicrats, all these years, when our alleged Democratic leaders put up no fight whatsoever on TWO stolen Bush elections, and no fight whatsoever on private, corporate, 'TRADE SECRET' code throughout our voting system, and have kowtowed to draconian economics and bankster bailouts and militarism and wars and "wars on drugs" and killing our planet EVER SINCE REAGAN.

You think voting for all this AGAIN is going to END this?

That's a fairy tale!

What to do? We'll think of something creative. Because we must. Our country, our democracy and the very planet we all need for life are hanging in the balance.

This is where "ponies & unicorns" come in--those items that Clinton supporters so despise. We are all born with creative minds which love fantasy when we're young and begin to love and shape reality as we grow up. Adult creative minds imagined democracy. Adult creative minds imagined solar panels and trips to the Moon. Adult creative minds CAN imagine the solutions that we need and the tactics we need to accomplish them, and CAN, acting together--as Bernie Sanders so often says--get them done! We will overcome all obstacles to the end of our democracy and our planet...because we must.

Because I did have so much respect for them as my former first family. Its a struggle internally for me with that old friend cognitive dissonance.


I used to wonder how the moderate Republican folks accepted Dick Cheney, as their 'brand' of politician.
He is batshit evil
Wish I hadn't wondered.
I think I'm about to develop some very accurate empathy.

Scott Stringer is the Comptroller, if there was a problem with the Republican election, he would audit that too.

Apparently, any Democrat with ANY connection to Hillary Clinton is automatically corrupt. Since Hillary's been involved in Democratic politics for 25 years, that's a lot of taint.

I guess only Socialists are ethical.
