And fuck ANYONE low enough to call the President such a hateful, nasty word. If he hates our party so much, he can step off and get lost. He has no place here.

I'm getting the fuck out.

I think, quite frankly, thats what a lot of them want. They want a far-left Socialist European party or an anti-Semitic (I mean 'anti-Zionist') British Labour Party like thing.

Leave the party then! Yea we are so anti Semitic that we are putting a Jew in the presidency

POTUS.

You need to keep up.

We will all stand up and fight

The structure of the DNC makes that very difficult.

So has underthematrix..

Ideas aimed against the DNC.

But it amounts to nothing. The National convention has become about theater. I don't know how much influence the platform committee actually has. If anything, West's presence serves as a stark reminder of why Bernie couldn't attract the black vote. I don't know if he has never figured out how much most black people dislike West, or if he just doesn't care.

as they usually do.

he has been unreasonably and indignant. And, he purposely comes across as intimidating.

So this is a Bernie pick? I think he is just playing games with our Dem Party. I loath the day Sander's choose to run as a Democrat.

or Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Every single one of them, with the possible exception of Keith Ellison.

He's a good guy and a solid Dem. Why Sanders would therefore want him on the committee is anyone's guess.

He did endorse Bernie early on, maybe that's it.

It must have gotten lost in the flood of other Sanders endorsements.

laughing at my desk again!

Aside from philosophical differences, which are many, he lost me permanently with his trashing of President Obama.



He will not be a thoughtful contributor to Democratic Party politics, to say the least.
Bad choice, Bernie. Unsurprising, but still - a really bad and unhelpful choice.

As the campaign season rolls along, I'm seeing Bernie Sanders increasingly exposed as an angry and vindictive person.

It's what I (sadly) expected.
I agree that Bernie is showing himself to be angry and vindictive person. . . and destructive to the interests of the Democratic Party.

He'll be outvoted on the committee. He is Bernie's pick. A curious pick, to be sure, but that's his choice. Likewise, I get mad when the Sanders people bitch and complain about Hillary's picks.

On the committee votes he'll be defeated in vote after vote.

and took the Democratic party, the party of the people ( see 'Demos'), off its rails to become the party of the corporate elite. Incredibly, the one who would be the STANDARD BEARER of the DEMOCRATIC party, this same Clintons other half, has supported an unseemly number of policies, approaches, and initiatives of the OPPOSITION party , the REPUBLICANS.

No need to go down the rabbit hole of 'progressive ' not progressive' CLinton is a fricking REPUBLICAN! And this is becially been the options to the american people since the Clinton Coup : moderate corporate Republican or Radical Insurgency, as Chomksy called the modern Republicans. Ans the people lose in this 'choice'.

This aint bashing her -- this is her record.

It is plain nonsensical to support one for the standard bearer position who aligns so much w/ the opposition, the 'enemy'. It would take our nation even further away from its ideals set down in the defacto mission stmt .. which stmt more closely aligns with traditional democratic progressive values since FDR - ie, Bernie Sanders' values of 'social democracy'.

'We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.'


some , but not all of her kinship with Republican policies, approaches, and initiatives....

as S of S:
*supporting the GOP's H-1b visa policy that allows in cheap foreign labor in IT industry
*supporting the GOP's tarsands projects (KXL, enbridge)
*supporting the GOP's unregulated fracking continuing the so called Cheney - Halliburton loophole that allows fracking to be exempt from Clean Water Act regs
*supporting the GOP's TPP initiative a one percenter's indulgence which was started by one Ger W Bush
*in her Libya military adventure, she actually exceeded the GOP / M I C
*supported GOP /corporate H-1b policy

as senator
*voting for the GOP's Iraq military option in '02-03
*voting for the GOP's Patriot Act and its renewal - '01
*voting for the GOP's Bankruptcy Reform Act '01 ( so after yo lose your job from bad 'free trade' policies, this person has the GALL to make it MORE difficult for the everyday working person to get some fresh start relief)

As first lady who was alway aligned thisclose to Bill
*supported the GOP anti gay rights DOMA bill
*supported the GOP 's desire to eliminate Glass Steagal regulations
*supported GOP /corporate H-1b policy , NAFTA and other 'free trade agreements'

Take your anti-Hillary crap to GDPEE!

or the fringe wing of American politics, where it belongs.

just came across and is exhibit A of the subject line thesis

“…I’ve spent the last day in Washington, where Democrats are quietly gearing up to negotiate a 'tax amnesty' for American-based global corporations that have parked some $2.1 trillion in untaxed profits abroad (mostly in tax havens) to avoid paying their U.S. taxes.

"The U.S. corporate tax rate is 35 percent, but Obama is ready to offer 14 percent if they’ll bring the profits home; Republicans want 10 percent; some Democratic senators are willing to go even lower (Barbara Boxer is teaming up with Rand Paul to offer 6.5 percent).

"Corporate lobbyists are swarming over Capitol Hill, suggesting if they don’t get a great deal they might not just keep the profits abroad but even move their corporations abroad (like Pfizer is doing).

"It’s corporate extortion on a giant scale." -- Robert Reich
